Why do you not understand that his frustration with your slow paying was very reasonable?

3) Can you explain the reason that you outed which business he owns? Anyone can easily find it now with the info you posted. Seems like a crappy thing to have done, even if you two are feuding.

4) Is it possible you accidentally burned the bathtub with cigarettes while drunk, and don't remember? Since you have no history (to my knowledge) with cooking meth, I believe these were likely cigarette burns. I'm on the fence whether or not I think you did it. It's possible that the previous guest did, and the housekeeper just missed it.


all fair questions

1) I've been using PayPal for all my digital transactions for years now. I have a checking account with BofA, but don't keep any money in it because of my tax issues which I mentioned in another thread. I suppose I could have sent a money order, but have been overseas for the bulk of my time the last several months, and it's a huge headache to get a U.S. money order in a foreign country. As far as Venmo goes, I had never even heard of it. PayPal is the largest online payment processor in the world, and it would have taken Hut a grand total of 5 minutes to sign up an account, text me, and be promptly paid in full

2) I think I've stated several times already that I accept full responsibility for the extended wait time for the debt. I haven't made any excuses for the delay, and said that I was very appreciative and grateful for his help at the time. Yes I understand his frustration, but the fact remains that I stayed in contact with him and never vanished or was ducking him. We had a conversation on the phone recently where I pledged to settle up at the end of September and he was perfectly fine with it. Then suddenly the threats and ultimatums started and it pissed me off.

3) I never outted his business. I posted carefully cropped Yelp reviews, none of which mentioned his restaurants name or the person doing the review, only the city of Lompoc. If you review a few previous posts, I think Sonatine posted the embedded address on Barton Street, which was Huts fault for being too retarded not making a seperate copy of the pic that didn't have the location embedded. I was careful not to include the terrible Yelp reviews that Hut has that mentioned the company name.

4) As I said, I had nothing to do with the damage to the bathtub. I can assure you that if I did, I would be taking full credit for it in this thread and laughing my ass off about it...but thats simply not the case. No I was not too drunk and accidentally damaged it. I don't even take baths I take showers, and I certainly never smoke in the shower, let alone cook meth or light off M-80's. When Hut told me that the manager complained, I was upset for being blamed for something I didn't do, and immediately drove back to the hotel and spoke with the manager in person pleading my case and explaining that I wasn't responsible for it. I'm not sure what else I can say about the matter other than what I've said already
