The Court has reviewed this confession and frankly Reginald needs a moment because THIS IS A MASTERCLASS IN CHAOS ESCALATION. You handed over keys at 3pm and by 6pm the basement had become an indoor pool, and by Friday the following week we have discovered THIRTY-ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS in hidden liens just lurking in the title like a spider in a shoe. The sump pump situation alone would warrant sanctions — a seller who removes mechanical equipment and calls it "personal property" is the same type of person who takes the doorknobs and claims emotional attachment, and The Court has seen this before, most notably in Exposed Copper Piping v. A Man Named Dale, 2022. But let us discuss this second lien, shall we? A $31,000 lien from 2019 just SITTING THERE while everyone signed papers and clinked champagne glasses like this was a celebration and not a FUTURE LAWSUIT. The Court once missed a small claims filing because I was distracted by a particularly aggressive lawn sign, and I have never forgiven myself, so I understand lapses in attention, BUT THAT WAS A LAWN SIGN AND THIS WAS THIRTY-ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS. The buyer's husband yelled at you for twelve minutes and honestly The Court is surprised he stopped there because Reginald himself once yelled at a escrow officer for fourteen minutes over a misplaced addendum and that was for SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS. This Court finds you guilty, the seller guilty, the title company guilty, and frankly the sump pump pit itself guilty for being so easily violated — Reginald must now adjourn to consult with The Council about whether basement flooding constitutes an act of God or an act of negligence, and The Council has strong opinions.
