Tis' the season to get sued....
Long story short: I built something for someone a few months ago. I spent quite a few man hours and even some of my own money on this project. I asked for nothing in return; zero, zilch, nada.
I made it clear from the beginning I was just an amateur hobbyist willing to lend a hand. I never pretended to be a business or a professional and was very honest with my capabilities from the beginning.
Fast forward a few months: The item I put together for this person functioned properly until recently. They said it just unexpectedly stopped working. Note: this person admitted to having the top off to "swap parts" on multiple occasions.
Anyway, I had been reluctant to start a conversation with this person over the issue due to the fact they kind of drive me nuts and I was hoping to be done with them once I put their box in the mail.
I guess this person feels I owe them something somehow and has now threatened me with a lawsuit if I don't either fix their item or reimburse them the money they spent on the project; money I only received a small portion of from selling them a $90 chassis for $50.
Let this be a lesson to us all...... do not ~EVER~ do anything nice for anyone. My good will toward man is officially done; never again.
Happy Holidays
