I never thought anyone could say the word "decade" with such scathing scorn as JM did when summing up the case of Lourdes, who has been getting her rent paid by JM and Douglas for the last ten years (Why?) and has the gall to come here and sue the landlord for her deposit back after she gave two day's notice she was moving. Think of the money Lourdes has saved by paying probably between $80 - $170 for the last ten years. I'm innumerate even with a calculator, but say the rent averages out for all that time to just $500/month. So Lourdes has saved about 50K? I must say I love how these people can't move until the Sec8 squad checks out the new dwelling with a magnifying glass to make sure it's good enough for these tenants.

I never saw any of these, and quite liked them! Ridiculous, perpetual "fiancee" with a bird on her shoulder is here with her man, who, with his jet-black dyed hair and neon lime green shirt, looked like a cheap department store mannequin that has been in storage since 1978. He claims the mechanic def. cheated them. Their 26-year-old truck has problems and since Def was the last person who worked on it, all the problems must be his fault. It couldn't be that, as when you play "Whack-a-Mole", you fix one worn-out, broken part on an ancient veehickle another one craps out the next day? Both of them should have been tossed the minute Mannequin Man said the bird was a witness. They thought they were cute and quirky, or something. At their ages, they were not. Not at all. Mover shaking down the Def: I think I'll move to a foreign country and start scamming and ripping people off (and then having the gall to sue the person I ripped off) since it seems there are no consequences. I hope Def learned about the wonderful world of contracts and receipts. He claimed he didn't request a receipt because it was 10 p.m. and asking for a note saying, "(Client) paid in full ____ dollars to (whatever) moving company' and having the "foreman" sign it would just take way too long. Lastly, the little snowflake... person, who sees Def's apartment, agrees to take it and gives him a $700 deposit KNOWS she can't afford it because she later asks her boss for more hours which I assume he refuses. She then has the gall to say, "I can't afford this place, even though I told you not to rent to anyone else, so I want my money back." If a contract doesn't specify "Not refundable" that means it is, according to P. JM takes the time to try and explain it, but I think that was a waste of breath. P expects everyone to have her best interests at heart and act accordingly. I was going to rag on landlord Kevin's too-small, diamond-patterned, V-neck sweater that displayed his tiny round patch of chest hair, but he was in the right in this case.

I didn't recognize any of today's cases and just skimmed this one, but it pissed me off. JM tells Def that everyone in the audience was clutching their pearls and gasping with horror over a Rottweiler (an ancient breed that was always of great use to humans for all sorts of tasks until recently when the MSM decided dog horror stories would attract audiences). This, from a woman who has informed us that she keeps HER dog isolated from all humans and other dogs, and in fact will cross the street when walking it if she sees someone coming on her side of the street. Knowledgeable about dogs, she is not. What I saw was a big mutt and not a *GASP* terrifying Rottweiler. But "mutt" wouldn't give everyone a delicious case of the shivers. I was just scanning past pages of this forum and laughing so hard at all the wonderful posts. I really miss all of you snarkers with the hilarious and witty observations.😕

I didn't remember this even after clicking the link @Bazingaprovided (thanks again to you and @CrazyInAlabama) so I enjoyed that repeat. P sounded ridiculous. Ugh. Sorry to hear that. The power went out here last night at 7 due to ferocious winds and just came back now. 🥶 Hope your mess gets fixed up soon!

I didn't say "stupid".

I think there's something I missed the first time in this "Creepy Weirdo vs. Sleazy Romance Scammer." When JM asks P if he's a swinger, there's a cut and the next thing he says is about a/c filters. It's like his answer was edited out. In all the romance scams I read about, it takes the scammer at least two weeks to start hinting around that they are in dire straits and need money. In this case, it seems to have taken her only about 24 hours. Maybe doing it in person, versus by IM, drastically cuts down on the time needed to fatten up the mark.

Just finished this. Only in California would this angry little man become so triggered, so offended, and so infuriated over a coffee - and it wasn't just coffee but a "Hazelnut Soy Latte", of course, 😏 that he calls the police over $5 coffee! The cops should have come and arrested him for having the gall to call them for such stupidity. I have no doubt the employee was doing what he said, maybe goofing off and/or acting up with no manager there but his going ballistic was a loony overreaction. Judge J just couldn't deal with talking to him and threw her hands up. As JT said, if he's this aggressive to 3 judges, it's easy to imagine how he behaved at the shop. It was so simple. Instead of freaking out on the phone with def, he could merely have asked her to mail it, or even easier, given her an email address for her to do an E-transfer. Done. We all have principles, but hey, we've ALL had similar annoyances in stores and elsewhere and I'm pretty sure none of us called the cops or would go to court for $5 (even though he felt he should get $200) and make utter asses of ourselves.

I had to kind of admire the chutzpah. JT (paraphrasing) "So you took these photos from Google Images, told her she would get these, but you knew you couldn't supply them?" Def: "Right". 😄 Eh, seems she got her gastric bypass, so she's happy.

Maybe this taught her to keep her big, filthy mouth shut. She wouldn't have been towed had she not told Def, "Fuck you!" Hag.

Wow. I'm really losing it. I just watched the whole thing with no inkling I'd ever seen it. It pissed me off all over again. Thanks for the link!

I had to stop watching this. I was laughing so hard I thought I might hurt myself. The creepy, dirty old man is so benevolent he just wants to help attractive, very young women, by plying them with cell phones and shopping trips. Shopping trips for food or basic necessities? No, no, no. She's homeless but needs to go shopping for a dress for their date (he wanted all the codgers at his high school reunion to see Grandpa waltzing in with a young tootsie) and underwear at Victoria's Secret.😆 She is all innocent as a newborn babe, has no idea why the geezer bought her underpants and bras and accepted all this shit from horny Grandpa, never dreaming he'd want any kind of payment. Yeah, cuz when I was her age I would have entered a lingerie store with some randy old goat and thought it was normal. He may be a "predator" but the Def was no wide-eyed victim, no matter how much vocal fry she uses. They deserved each other.

I watched the Hallterview this time. After JM got done reaming P, Doug was positively ruthless with this moron and his stupid ("There was a snowstorm") girlfriend while trying to make P understand what an idiot he is, and ending with, "Well, at least you learned something today!". You are missed, Doug.

Me too! It was almost like he wanted to be hated. Mining cryptocurrency?😉 Setting up a call center for one of those "Did your mesh collapse? Call Now!" lawyer commercials? I think the Def may be another "Ganz".

I wanted to hear more about this 8,000 sq. ft house with 30 old-style phones in it. I also want to know if, as I've been reading lately, landlines are going the way of the dodo bird what Def will do then. Yes, MY landline will have to be pried from my cold, dead fingers. It was easy to tell that Def is a lawyer and he explains to a JUDGE that oral contracts are valid in California. Judge J acknowledges that she is aware of that. But the parties have to agree on what the contract was, don't they, Mr. Lawyer? I think I recall seeing precisely one lawyer on these court shows who was competent, kept records, and knew the law. Def says the phones don't work. I mean, he never tried them, but he's pretty sure they don't. He also (so he says) didn't know P was not licensed anymore - something we hear from so many litigants AFTER a job is done and they're not happy. Is he sure he's a lawyer? I enjoyed this case. I didn't understand the electronic details, with brains and such, but it was shocking to hear of two educated professionals (and one a lawyer!) who didn't bother writing a contract of any kind. WTH? I believed P when he said clients keep adding things all the time as the work is going on. That should be reason enough to have contracts! 😄 No kidding! Who's going to finish a job for someone who says, "No. I'm not going to pay anymore." ?

More captains of industry. Fake document(?) "Dear departed Grandpa left me his weed" - "No, she stole the weed" and the def was jobless, no she wasn't. She had her own business and neither of them had a license to sell weed. Def stole a frying pan and oh my.😱 I watched just until P was bitching that Def was hounding her for weed butter and the audience behind her was cracking up over this dumb shit, one of them so badly he had to put his hand over his mouth. That was the only worthwhile part and it didn't make me lose more brain cells, something I can ill afford. Thank you. Granted, I didn't watch much but from what I did see, I agree with Papa and you.

They need to call Judges DiMango and Acker and ask, "How did you deal with Papa's flabbergasting reasoning?" Reply: "We learned to solicit his opinion, listen to it, and then ignore it".

I wonder how fed up and disgusted JM must get when she has to inform mature business people over and over and over that they might want to think about having contracts. Those mature business people telling her, "I think that's what was said... I'm not certain... I'm pretty sure we agreed on that... maybe it was $150, or $300?.." is enough to make a person lose it. People - wake up! We know what good hearts you have and how completely trusting you are of everyone, that you deal with handshakes and faith when conducting business with total strangers, but "We call people like you 'litigants'."

Nothing about this convoluted wheeling and dealing made sense, or I just couldn't understand it. Def says P didn't have the money to pay the Def his sec. deposit, but she DOES have the money to buy this 21-year-old BMW from him, pay him to repair it, sell it, make a killing from it, and then give him his sec. dep? The car looked to be in a junkyard, probably where it belonged. At first, I was totally on P's side. The Def seems to be a typical, mealy-mouthed, shady POS, a big, hulking, blobby con artist who was so scared of the dainty little P that he did things under duress due to her threats or harassment. But then when we got to her saying he "sweet-talked" into things, I thought, Hmm. Maybe these two deserve each other. That she also called Def's 86-year-old daddy to grouse at him was a major turnoff. I just bet poor ol' Dad has had more than one call complaining about his sonny boy.

4K in cash, carted around in a backpack? The shoe entrepreneur should have thought of that before asking Granny to wash his clothes. I didn't get too far enough into this. Granny permitted to scream at the judges, her fake wailing, the mysterious 4K, Granny's daughter who "had got drunk" and Granny not speaking to any of her kids - Sorry, Mr. Rockwell. Your family ideals did not match up here. Papa? Were you kidding? Oh, please.

I still can't believe that a woman married to a cop could be so naive, or maybe she has a savior complex, enough of one that she would go behind her husband's back to bankroll those bloated parasites. How tragic they have children.

Whackadoodles. I'm so glad the young P doesn't work so has plenty of time and is healthy enough to go on trips and to Disney - a heck of a lot of walking there in the heat - with Pinky, World's Best Walmart Cashier, buy all kinds of Disney junk, AND have enough spare cash to lend to Pinky to buy her dream car, a 31-year-old Volkswagen Beetle (with no key?). And what was with the husband? Sounds like an odd marriage. P is a lot smarter than I was when young and on my own. I worked full-time and still couldn't afford Disney until I got a major promotion and got married. Fool was I. Amen! I don't even want to hear Dr. Phil playing Dr. Phil. Knock it off, Papa. Ugh. I got as far as the video where the ghastly Def admits that sure, she was Hulking it up and overturned the table, but so what? Isn't that the way disputes should be settled?

Def admits she has no clue about being a landlord, and simply puts P's $2,000 deposit in her own checking account. What's wrong with that? So she spent it. What of it? Go get it from "Leo". I liked this case, even though both litigants seemed too old to be this clueless, because there were no texxes loaded with misspelled profanities or threats, no vandalizing of property, no mention of SSMhood, no videos showing one or both acting like wild animals and not a single challenge to fight. And both admitted in the hall that they did learn something. Refreshing! Yes, she got it back. I was hoping the interest would be added on. That wasn't mentioned but maybe it was done.

Can you imagine that mouth - she talked so damned fast she was leaving the ends off of some words - all the way home? No wonder Def said, "Screw this!" and left. Yes, very trim but her umbilicus needn't be displayed in court, even a TV court. 😄 Considering that Krazy Kanye's "wife" is now parading around Italy in public naked (we won't mention the vile sex acts, also in public 🤢) the belly button shouldn't be a problem! Yes! Male and female.

I watched MotorMouth in the hall this time when Doug asked why her husband refused to come out and join her for this case since she claimed he's the one who paid Def. Well, he couldn't possibly back up his wife because he had a cold! He was coughing!

I didn't recall this one, and kept thinking that JM should have told the def who obviously didn't know any better to go outside and find something to cover up her freaking belly button. I can only assume it was hidden from JM by the podium. How many places are there where it's appropriate to wear a short, cropped top like that? No one is interested in your innie, lady.
