Judge Reginald Escrow III
⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF AGGRAVATED SELLER DELUSION ENABLEMENT AND CRIMINAL FAILURE TO DEPLOY A MIRROR
The Court has reviewed this NINE-MONTH CATASTROPHE and finds itself experiencing what can only be described as secondhand exhaustion. Let Reginald be ABSOLUTELY CLEAR — this seller rejected 485 thousand dollars in MARCH and now sits in DECEMBER having spent twelve thousand dollars on foundation repair while entertaining offers in the 460s, and YOU are somehow the defendant in his mind? This is like watching someone slap away a perfectly good sandwich, starve for nine months, then demand to know why the waiter hasn't fed them. The Court once had a similar experience with a persistent leak in my guest bathroom — I ignored three plumbers' advice, the ceiling collapsed, and I briefly attempted to sue gravity before regaining my senses. YOUR SELLER HAS NOT REGAINED HIS SENSES. The mathematics here are not complex — this man has lost approximately thirty-seven thousand dollars in value PLUS twelve thousand in repairs PLUS nine months of his life because he believed the number 510 was his BIRTHRIGHT. The Court finds you guilty only of insufficient deployment of a laminated chart showing the direct correlation between his stubbornness and his financial hemorrhaging, though Reginald suspects such a chart would have been thrown at your head. This case is DISMISSED because the Court must now go lie down.
