I couldn’t believe it when I got the summons to go to court.
My best friend and I had rented a cabin by the beach for a week.
It was supposed to have excellent air conditioning, and two bedrooms with two baths. We had two beds in one room, a shared bath with the other half of the condo, and poor air conditioning. Three months after the experience, I was being summoned to court. The people who had the other half of the condo were suing the owners on a personal injury lawsuit. They said that the lack of air conditioning and poor air quality had caused his asthma to get so out of control, that he ended up in the hospital when he got home. I thought it was a frivolous waste of my time and the court’s time, but he was serious. He wanted me to testify to the lack of air conditioning and poor air quality. I knew it wasn’t the best, but my friend and I spent little time in the cabin. I told this to the lawyer who was asking questions, but he kept going back to the poor air quality and lack of air conditioning. I admitted that the air conditioning wasn’t as good as it could have been. I didn’t notice the air quality being so bad, unless he was talking about the heat and humidity. I had a good time, and so did my best friend’s. Till the other renters were done with their lawsuit over air quality, everyone got their money back for the rental, and he ended up with about $50,000 extra.
