  1. Agreed with the "ate the steak" analogy only working one way. I'm also becoming a little frustrated with her take on animal cases (bites, custody, whatever). Granted, many of the plaintiffs and defendants in these cases are asshats, but I find it annoying that if a litigant makes any reference to their pet being like their child JJ shuts them down and says that's ridiculous, but if there's one little hint that a person might have been careless in any way in the slightest, JJ lectures them about their pets being like their children. Pick a stance and stick with it, please.
  2. Stepfather seemed shady too. Who takes a close to $40,000 joint bank account and puts it in only one person's name?
  3. I haven't seen this case on PC yet (I have a ton of episodes on the DVR to catch up on), but I remember it from JJ. I was pretty indifferent about the daughter. Her story didn't seem to add up and it just seemed off. The father was such a dirtbag, however, I end up hoping that JJ would give her everything she asked for. He really pissed me off in the hallterview when he said something to the effect of "sometimes you gotta remind 'em who's in charge" as if he had won the case and the daughter had been taught a lesson about respect, when in fact the case had simply been dismissed. I found myself wishing that he'd end up being run down by a fast moving bus as he exited the studio.
  4. The thing that really pissed me off about that case was the hallterview. Scumbag douchey father says something like "you gotta remind 'em who's in charge sometimes." That's what he took away from the whole thing. He actually thought that JJ had ruled in his favor instead of dismissing the daughter's case (and there is a big difference, asshat.) I wish she had found a way to give the poor girl something.
  5. I literally get goosebumps just thinking about that scene. The look of sheer terror on Leo's face. John Spencer was amazing as Leo in so many ways.
  6. His argument was that he wasn't being negligent when he hit the golf ball so he shouldn't have to pay. He thinks that he's excused from the "shit sometimes happens that you're responsible for" club.
  7. I'm a big Charlie fan, too! It was so touching when Jed was leaving the White House to go to the press conference in the middle of a storm without his overcoat and Charlie took his coat off when he saw the President wasn't wearing one. I have to admit that I got a little choked up over the gesture.
  8. I have students in my class who come in exhausted everyday because they're up all night watching TV in their rooms. When I mention it to their parents the response is that they can't do anything about the kids turning the TV on after everyone else is asleep. There really is an easy fix for it - take the fucking TV out of their rooms. My daughter is 23 and my son is 17 and neither one of them has ever had a TV in their rooms. They also were not allowed to have a computer (desk or lap top), hand held video game, or cell phone in there. All electronics stay in the family room overnight. TV time is family time (even though it meant I spent many years watching Nickelodian and the Disney Channel). I would record (now DVR) things that I wanted to watch that weren't appropriate for them and just watch them another time. I guess once you've let your spawn go on a midnight rampage to vandalize the property of whomever has disrespected you everything else is trivial.
  9. I had a problem with JJ telling the videographer that her work basically sucked. It brought to mind the saying "I don't know art, but I know what I like." There are probably people (I'm not one of them) who would love that style. It wasn't a matter of "getting what you pay for" because it was cheap. I'm sure that the grooms had formal tastings with their caterer for the food and for the wedding cake, scheduled fittings for their clothes, and submitted very detailed playlists for the entertainment. If they signed a contract with someone without asking to see a portfolio of their work, they have no one to blame but themselves.
  10. I think that bride has managed to reset our already low bar for stupid.
  11. I totally agree when JJ and MM dismiss cases because the dumbass plaintiff forgot to bring the evidence and I give both of them mental high fives because it seems like they might be trying to teach said dumbasses a lesson by not awarding them anything, but I still hate when an obvious low life user gets to walk away without paying anything back. It just reinforces the dirtbag's behavior.
  12. I liked CJ as CoS, but I hated how Abby basically treated it as a babysitting position for the President.
  13. Circling back to the catering case: I agree that the plaintiff's expectations vs. her budget were way out of whack. The problem is that all of her communication with him happened over the phone, so we'll never know if he agreed to everything she requested and then did it his own way or if he ever said that her demands wouldn't fit into the budget she had established. As a business person, the caterer should insist that all of that communication is done through email or that conversations are followed up with confirmation emails. I understand JJ's "you ate the steak" comparison, but in the real world it's much more difficult to turn away services like DJs and caterers when you have an event happening right now and tons of people there for it. I'm sure that caterers and the like fall all over themselves for celebrity clients, but the rest of us are sort of stuck with whatever happens, no matter what has been requested or agreed upon.
  14. I hate when the judges give a douchey plaintiff an out. Re: the dumbass defendant who claimed that the plaintiff that she hit in a crosswalk actually jumped on to her car to scam her. One of the judges told her that they understood it was a stressful time for her because no one wants to hurt another person so that's the song the defendant sang in the hallterview, never acknowledging all of the accusations she had made against the plaintiff during her testimony.
  15. I know she didn't. I assumed since she had quoted it that it would go along with my quote (I have a headache now). I absolutely loved her response to that post.
