Well, I'll be damned. I never saw this and didn't know that Harold, creepy, winky, blinky, stupid Harold with the egg tooth, who is a car dealer who not permitted to drive (due to a bunch of DUIs and some other criminal crap), was on this show twice! Imagine my joy when I saw not only Harold but his massive, bull-like, beastly sister (who is the mother of three!) who is just as much a scammer as her dim-witted, loser brother. Brutal sister took a deposit of $625 from the Plaintiffs (I warn you: If you have an adult beverage on hand do NOT sip every time Mom says "car") and just never gave her the car! She has 3 kids! Harold stands there, winking, blinking, and grinning like the nitwit he is while his ghastly sister (who has three children!) explains why she couldn't or wouldn't let the Ps come get the car. She has three CHILDREN. Can't expect her (she's too busy with being a mom to her THREE children) to answer a phone call from people who gave her money and now have no money and no car. She just can't answer the phone, even though she never leaves the house due to being a mother of three. When the P started "threatening" to send the cops to the dwelling of her, her baby daddy, and her THREE children for being a thief, well - that was it. No deposit was returned to them. No one threatens a momma of three and gets anything back. We never got to see baby daddy, who apparently is the actual owner of this car and must be visually impaired. Aside from having THREE children, it seems monstrous Sis couldn't return the deposit and can't drive the car because she made a little mistake, "parked where I shouldn't have" and now owes $2,000 in tickets on this car. I don't know if the parents of these two are alive - and maybe they're scammers too - but they must be so proud of their offspring, both of them stupid, amoral grifters. It was wonderful. Then came the P suing shady, smirking painting contractor who took his money and never, ever showed up to paint the house. His truck got stolen? Yeah, JM never heard this litany of dumb excuses before. He's another no-show contractor who says he spent money on the paint, but don't ask him for receipts. I guess they were in the stolen truck. This got butted into, so I followed the link provided by @CrazyInAlabama and yep, another scammer who thought he'd found a perfect victim. I saw the third case. Everyone here already saw it so I'll just say that if I had planned a building addition that was to cost me 30K, and instead I paid only $4,900 due to the title company's error, I'd be opening the champagne and jumping for joy, not dragging my large butt here trying to suck up 10K more from the trough and make Def pay for everything, including stuff I put into storage.

Snotty, snippy, snappy little landlord sassing the judges - "What would YOU charge to change a lightbulb?" he asks Judge T. To show damages he presents a picture of a closet with hangers left in it. He says he had to have two items removed from the fridge, etc, etc. Even Papa came out of his doze and got his hackles up when the little guy snarkily put a question to him. 😄 He also will proudly continue to ignore rental laws that allow for "normal wear and tear" and demand properties be returned in "immaculate condition" even though in the hall he states tenants must follow the law! I saw no "completely" destroyed floors, either. I guess he hasn't been a landlord very long and has never watched court shows or he would know what kind of real destruction and even demolition is perpetrated on rental units. Maybe he should spruce up his background checking of renters as well, and not let drug users who party all night move in. Of the doubled deposit awarded to the P, maybe half should be returned to whichever government entity has been paying her rent? Just a thought.

These must have been pre-empted since I never saw the 2nd or 3rd case. I zipped through the first one with eyes averted. I was puzzled why Andrew the contractor Plaintiff had the bright idea to bring his little 13-year-old daughter here(WTH, Andrew? Moral support?), to witness JM being forced to spank him for his bad behavior. Not only that, but he said he was fine with the girl hearing JM reading out loud his nasty, profanity-laden texts to Def, right down to calling Def's wife "ugly". Andrew, you're no Greek god yourself. Yes, Def is a shifty, shady liar and scammer who stiffed P out of $1800, but Andrew, really? We hear he had a little problem previously, with a road rage incident. JM suggests anger management for him, since it seems even at his age, he has no more self-control than a toddler. Andrew thinks all of this is funny or cute when it's disgusting. Bringing his daughter here was just weird and creepy. But it's all okay since he tells her not to act like a raging, potty-mouthed fool like him. I guess he doesn't care to be an example for her. Then we had Kevin, the charity case with such a strange, sci-fi eye thing going on that it was hard to look at him. I don't know if he came off some heavy-duty drugs/booze binge or if this is his natural appearance. He claims Def, who gave him a place to live (and Kevin sneakily moves from his downstairs lair to the upstairs place) stole his tools and $500 in cash. Def says that on the police report, Kevin claims it was $1000 and a ring. JM requests the police report and Kevin hands it up. "Where is the rest of it?" she asks Kevin, who, in a bid for time to make up a lie, says, "What was that?" We know it's not JM's first rodeo and she informs him he'd heard her and demands the missing part. Kevin pulls up another paper and hands it over. JM wants to know why he didn't give it right away. Kevin mutters that it must have gotten stuck to something else. Sure enough, he told the cops it was 1K in cash. JM asks if he has any proof of the tools he said he had. The rusty gears in Kevin's slow-thinking brain grind to a halt and he just lowers his sci-fi eyes to the floor. JM takes that as a "no" and his case is dismissed. Def shows pics of the condition of Kevin's nest and proclaims that Kevin lived "like an animal". The place is utterly filthy, with shit thrown all over. And actually, it did look a lot like my backyard shed does after raccoons and squirrels have inhabited it over the winter. But they're animals, Kevin, you dirty little bugger, and you never lifted a finger to clean a thing. JM leaves and Kevin and Def start smack-talking, calling each other crackheads and accusing their respective mothers of being crackheads.

Those two dimbos were funny. JT nearly lost it within a minute when she read to them from their own complaint and answer and they squinted and gape-jawed at her as though she were speaking in tongues or ancient Egyptian. The real estate agent, the professional who whites out something in a contract AFTER the client signed and didn't bother getting her to initial the change ("Yeah. So?"), wants her other thousand dollars due to her for getting a qualified tenant to sign a lease. What? The judges want to see it? She waves away that notion. Yes, she has it somewhere, probably, but not here. Could be in a zip file. Who knows? She saw no reason to bring it. It's irrelevant, right?🙄 Even Papa was getting frustrated with the inability of both litigants to answer a simple question. For the amount of time Plaintiff spent with her jaw hanging wide open to express shock, horror, and incredulity at everything Def said, she's lucky there were no flies around.

I must have missed part of this the first time: "Oh, I had a double mastectomy..." JM (thinking exactly what I was thinking): "Did you have cancer?" No, it was a bad boob job in Tijuana, or "whatever, but it's fine." A friend of mine has a younger sister who had a double mastectomy. She didn't think it was fine, or 'whatever'. But she had cancer and didn't travel to get what was probably industrial-grade silicone pumped into her chest by some cut-rate quack and then have it scraped out, which is not a double mastectomy.

The "gigolo"?😆🤣 Not my idea of a gigolo, but the woman who posted that paper "just couldn't get over me." Yeah, I understand that. Who could? I mean here's a big-bellied, amoral loser probably near 60 who drinks too much and is still bumming money from his ancient Daddy. Swoon-worthy, for sure. Def. is a worthless, loathsome, small-time grifter and con artist who never had any intention of paying anyone back. Plaintiff, for all his protestations of being big-hearted and helpful, is a fool, a perfect mark for the grifter, and kept subsidizing him with more and more money! I have a hard time believing he's such a good businessman. He'll probably do this again, now that he's on the sucker list of all the penny-ante leeches in this small community. Plaintiff, there are many ways to be helpful and kind that don't include picking up the bar tab for that repulsive slob.

I just couldn't, not with Papa's "All You Need is Love" since it seemed the big, flaming romance was kaput. Hope the tornado didn't reach you, @CrazyInAlabama

I guess that could be, but the bags must have been in a bucket or trash can to hold them open. Personally, I would omit the bags and just let the water go into the receptacle. That would be easier to dump than an unstable bag of water. Ah, well. Ours is not to question why (litigants do what they do).

Do people really use bags to catch leaks? I was trying to visualize how this would work, but I couldn't. Maybe she meant suitcases or an overnight bag, although surely that would be counter-productive and ruin those items? Had a leak here after the washer hose broke and water came through the ceiling downstairs. We used a bucket to catch the water. Oh, well. Sadly, P had no pics of this rainstorm in her place or the waterfall flowing down her walls. It went on for two days, but she simply could not take one single photo in all that time, what with waking up in the morning confused or something that caused her to have no time to take one. 🤔 Def had a picture that showed a wet spot on the edge of the carpet. Granted, I wasn't paying too much attention to this "bicker-backer" so I may have missed something.

I just realized what the names, "Brendal" and "Shully" made me think of. They're like characters in Game of Thrones, some of whom had names similar to modern-day ones, except for a few altered letters, e.g., "Eddard" = Edward. Yeah, I know, but I thought it was important to get that out there.

That could turn into quite a list. No matter how big your heart is: Don't co-sign for losers Don't bail losers out of the slammer Don't pay child support for losers Don't plan a wedding with a loser who is still married to another desperate dingbat. Don't invite losers to live with you Don't pay utility bills for losers Don't pay for your loser to get his grill fixed Don't buy motorcycles/big-screen TeeVees/pricey phones, etc for losers Most importantly: Don't breed with losers.

Oh, my! Trailer Park Riot! Baby daddy mention! Physical assaults and carjacking by old ladies! "Shully" and "Brendal"! All this chaos and contention over a 20-year-old Mazda. Not knocking Mazdas. A friend of mine kept hers until it was 23 and then sold it for $1K. Of course, hers was impeccable and not trashed, which sounds like this one may have been. It wouldn't start when Shully wanted to test drive it, but this Mazda needs to be cooled off for an unspecified amount of time after driving it, preferably with the hood open. I admit I'm not sure about that. It sounds rather inconvenient but Shully wanted it anyway. Why would Shully or Brendal make a written contract, bill of sale, or agreement of terms for this veehickle, even for the most basic thing like the purchase price? No need for all that boring stuff. We all trust each other. Famous court show last words. Thank you, ladies, for proving yet again what I say about no litigants ever wading into battle over cars under 15 years old. At least our litigants are consistent if nothing else. I didn't reach the end of this debacle, so once again, thanks @CrazyInAlabama.

Ugh. That scamming, lying, amoral heffalump was despicable. "I don't want two guys I don't know spending days with my 11-year-old daughter. I was forced to hire them, so why should I have to pay them?" Drive her to work? Run out to get chips for her? Ms. SSMO, I advise against that. One more bag of chips might cause those leather pants to burst wide open over your monumental buttocks. No, she has no proof that they didn't work the hours they said they did. Take her word for it that they deserve nothing. She obviously forgot what she put in her texxes. The shamelessness and entitlement were off the scale. I loved how Judge T rightly smoldered with hatred for the def., even before she started questioning her. I think her disgust grew with every lying, scamming word. Not even Papa could excuse her behavior. Usually, SSMhood gets a pass but not this time. I don't know how she had the nerve to show that face here after the stunt she pulled, but I guess it was worth it to be raked over the coals to get what she wanted in that the services were free. I hope both of these guys do well. They seem to be honest and have a good work ethic. I have a tiny bit of advice for the college student, Mr. Noble: Brush up on basic English grammar.

I was thinking this must have been a serious dilemma for Papa. Here we had two women, approximately the same age, who seemed well-spoken and non-violent. For which one does he take sword in hand and mount his white horse? I could almost see his mental turmoil. On the one hand, P was being stiffed on rent, but on the other hand, Def is a SINGLE MOTHER who had mice in her place, which just might negate the stiffing. Who deserves his bleeding heart more? I guess he couldn't decide so he just went along with the other two.

Okay, I first must say I liked that the defendant wanted to use cruelty-free Havahart traps for the mice. They shouldn't have to die because she likes to leave her door open all the time for the dog. If I left my door open all day, my kitchen would no doubt be full of not only mice, but squirrels, spiders, ants, and maybe even raccoons. But enough of that, since everything else she said was BS. This place was so uninhabitable she stayed for only 6 (or 7?) years. It was awful, so terrible that she stopped paying rent for 4 or 5 months. There was a flood that ruined all her belongings but she shows pictures only of water running down the garage wall, and no pics of ruined property. When the truth is finally wrung out of her, it seems her ex-husband got fed up supporting her in this 3K/month place and cut the alimony in half. She couldn't afford to pay, so she didn't and just squatted. P is another one who says she felt sorry for Def, being a "single mother" ( a single mother whose ex was paying whopping big alimony AND child support). Def looked to be at least 60+, but it seems the single mother sympathy ploy/special exemption never ends.
