I got sued in small claims court for $125 bucks.
My wife borrowed a tile saw from her neighbor/friend, who also happened to be a "bottom" in a homosexual relationship with an abusive guy with little dog syndrom. The saw was rusty, poorly maintained, and of poor quality.
While my father-in-law used it to cut tile for our house, a small plastic piece that was irrelevant to operation broke off.
I gave it back to him some time after we were done using it and had forgotten about the plastic piece. 2 weeks later he demanded that we replace the entire crappy old saw.
I told him that I would happily pay to replace the part and that if he got the information from the company, I would write him a check.
Instead he took me to court for the value of the saw plus court fees.
The dumb-*** self importand judge figured he would be cute and say "neither a lender nor borrower be".
I lost and now I have a judgment against my credit (I paid the guy within a week).
The tort/suit system in America is a heaving sweating stinking pile of crap.
