I mean… nature is nature and sometimes nature invades indoor spaces. Why is he blaming the resort? Unless he’s claiming the scorpion was allowed in his room through some sort of gross negligence or… I guess, intentionally… what were they supposed to do to stop it from crawling through an open window, up a drain, or through a gap in the door?
Like for real, I pay for a pest service that comes to spray around my home regularly, and I still had lady bugs mysteriously invading my bathroom all winter. If I had a guest stay over and get bitten by a spider in the middle of the night, am I legally liable for that? Should I be patrolling the halls 24/7 with a flashlight and a can of raid and doing hourly bed checks for arachnids? Is that the bare minimum he expects?
Don’t get me wrong. Getting woken up by a painful venomous sting to the nut would be fucking awful, no doubt. New nightmare unlocked. Fully justified at being pissed. But why at the resort? Be pissed at the scorpion. Be pissed at mother nature, God, life, bad luck, whatever. But the resort had about as much of a hand in your circumstances as you did, which is to say next to none. It would be like suing the owner of a parking lot because your Beemer got bird shit on it. They’re wild animals dude, and they’re fucking everywhere, what do you want me to do?!
