Here's a Quarter...Call Someone Who Gives a Crap!

That is, if you can even find a pay phone these days.

I won't blog about this too much, just on the off chance that our idiotic former tenants can actually figure out how to track down my Blog. But, given the fact that I don't think they could find their butts with both hands, it's doubtful.

Bottom line.

Our lawyer sent them a letter dictating all of their no-nos and what we wanted in compensation. A fairly large sum.

He also told them that if he didn't receive said payment from them by a certain date, they'd be sued the following day.

Needless to say, he did hear from them, but, their response was, in a word,

LAUGHABLE.

Basically, it was a pity ploy; almost an appeal (to OUR lawyer, mind) to look at their side of the story and consider how mean the B's were to them and how we don't have any compassion.

A long, violin accompanied sob song about The Old Bat's physically disabilities, how they didn't know she'd have such trouble living in the property because they rented it sight unseen (what, did they just fall of the stupid truck on top of it all?), and, get this, she couldn't even take a bath there because she couldn't get into the tub (too deep) and she couldn't stand up long enough to take a shower.

So, she started developing body sores and ended up having to be driven across town (to one of the two other houses she owns, I guess) to take a bath.

Hello? Did you ever hear of those little stools you can buy to put into showers? In fact, that shower HAS a seat built into the wall.

Anyway, this was the first time we'd heard this one, but, it doesn't matter because IT DOESN'T MATTER! None of this was valid enough reason to walk away from her legal and financial obligations. And, of course, she did walk away; she slunk away, hoping we'd never find her or follow up on this.

Of course, we DID find her, and, now she's "quite shocked" at several of our "allegations".

Like what, Batty? That you owe us money and we want it back? That we aren't a charitable organization? That you lied about your cat being declawed? That you have sub-standard ideas of what constitutes "clean"?

The best part? The letter was written WITHOUT them having the lease in front of them. Turns out they "misplaced" it. They actually had the nerve to ask our lawyer to send them a copy!

Well, they'll get our response soon; basically it's "Stop dicking around and pay up or we're gonna sue you".
