I screamed something very similar at my TV only mine had a word that rhymed with sucker.... What a sore loser, made worse by her statement "I want to hurt him so bad". I'm glad, it grosses me out to watch them eat food with dirty fingernails....blech! I don't want to shame anyone's body but it is hard to watch her and Lyrsa, especially Lyrsa with her dirty nude bathing suit bottoms, at least I hope they're bathing suit bottoms because they look like my mom's granny panties....

Me too! The "Godfather" looked to be not much older that that despicable rodent-faced defendant. I would not be surprised if godfather=boyfriend in her mind since she was able to rationalize a loan from a mentally ill, low paid nanny into a gift and have no qualms about that.

My lazy, self-important idiot brother-in-law is this person. Several years ago he injured his knee doing yard work, a couple weeks later he "fell" at school (he's a teacher) in the parking lot, proceeded to put a Workers Comp claim in without mentioning his prior injury. He collected $80,000 in a lump sum settlement about a year later, (which he and my sister blew through in about 5 years), low and behold this past spring he supposedly hurt his shoulder breaking up a fight between two girls..... ...this time the Workers Comp board made him go through physical therapy and meet with a orthopedic specialist to determine how "injured" he was, I think the Workers Comp board is getting very suspicious of people like my BIL who always seem to have some sort of injury. He was denied any money this time after it was determined that his "injury" was healing fine.

I'm not into blood and gore also, my decorations are orange and white string lights with a ghost projector light (like the ones for Christmas only with ghosts floating in circle). I love the idea above and will be incorporating it for next year!

I'll join you on the soapbox for this one rant: I have 3 indoor-only cats. Every day on FB there is another lost cat (and dog) post from some nimwit who says "kitty always comes home but we haven't seen him in a couple days!" WTF??? To anyone who says they should be set free to hunt because it's their nature, baloney, they are domesticated animals who face many more dangers outdoors than they are prepared for. Amen sister.

I am of the same thinking, those types of nose rings are unappealing on both men & women. Of course I don't understand why anyone wears any kind of jewelry on this show, I'd be afraid it would break or get lost during one of the challenges.

I felt bad for the defendant neighbor as well, from the looks of the plaintiff's "garden" it was just an overgrown mess encroaching on to the defendant's property. Maybe his landscaper did get a little crazy chopping it to the roots but if for 18 years I'd had to deal with that guy I might let my gardener loose with a chain saw and clear the whole bunch of it.

Thank you @AgentRXS, I finally got through! Sinus infections are the worst, and I probably let it go too long trying to treat it with sudafed and a netti pot. I don't really want to be on antibiotics but now it's gotten to the point where when I lay down and turn my head to the right I get dizzy. It made for a pretty rough night. Ugh.

I hate it when I call my dr's office when they are supposed to be open and the answering machine is still on saying to call back during business hours. I called at 9:11am, their office hours start at 9:00am. If I didn't have a raging sinus infection that is causing the entire right side of my head to throb it probably wouldn't infuriate me as much.

100% agree with this. Many years ago I used to tell my daughters I couldn't wait to be a grandparent, then a coworker of mine was talking at lunch one day about how her and her husband were not going to have children and how it bothered her every time her parents or in-laws brought up wanting to be a grandparent. Ding ding ding in my head, I decided to shut up about it to my kids. I have since stopped discussing it, so when my oldest told me her and her husband were also going to be childless I congratulated her and told her I was happy for her either way. And to be honest, I had my kids young, divorced their father when they were 9 & 13 and was 95% responsible for their upbringing for 13 years, I am now living a life that I enjoy and making plans for my future, I'm kind of relieved to not have to be at a dance recital or a soccer game or have to babysit on a Saturday night. If that changes I'm sure it will be great, otherwise, I'm good!

I was a parent at 22 years old, my husband was a year younger, we both matured quickly and took being parents very seriously. My daughters are now 28 & 24 and are no where near ready to have kids but it's not because they're immature, quite the contrary, they are focusing on careers, buying homes and enjoying life experiences, as they should. My oldest and her husband have told me that they don't think they'll ever have kids and I give them credit for being mature enough to know they can't commit to 18+ years of taking are of someone else's needs. I don't see that as selfish, (as one of my friends called them when I told her). I would much rather have grandchildren who are loved and wanted rather than ones who get dumped off to a sitter because mom and dad still want to have 'freedom'.

I think this guy saw $$$$ when that tiny thing nipped him, he wasn’t scared or sweating, I know a woman who is terrified of dogs, big & small, she practically hyperventilates when one gets within 30 feet of her, she would have fainted standing that close to one. He had a whole speech prepared about being an independent contractor and not having insurance, I think he is an opportunist who thought his payday was coming.

YES! I watched, laughed, rewound, laughed harder and then went to get a bottle of wine to drown my sorrow for the women of the world who think that piece of shit was worth $5 let alone $5,000! I’m sure she’ll be showering money on another stupid, blubbery idiot before this episode shows up in reruns.....

I grew up in a small rural town, these idiots used to ride across my parents yard at all hours of the night. Every spring my dad would be out there cursing them as he resodded what they tore up. He complained to the sheriff to no avail. Two years a go a group of 3 riders attempted to cross a partially frozen lake, in the dark after several beers. I felt sorry for their families, standing in the cold waiting for the recovery divers to bring up their bodies. The riders, not so much.

I got the same vibe, like he wanted to pick a fight for his 5 minutes of fame. I loved that JJ kept shutting him down as he tried to steamroll his agenda into his case. That poor stylist looked confused and amused. My fiance has had longer-ish hair as well as a buzz cut, he says that the guy would have felt and probably seen the first swipe of the clippers and could have voiced his objection then. I think he sat there smirking like a loon rubbing his hands together thinking of his big TEE VEE debut......

**SNORT** so true!! I thought this as well.

I think what she was trying to get at is what did he actually complete, because from the looks of those pics I'm pretty sure it wasn't $1,500 worth. Gummy the painter had an excuse of "health issues" that he attempted to use but I was glad JJ shut him down. If you agree to do a job, take money for said job and then not only are you late starting but from the sounds of it he, or his minions, barely showed up from day to day then you deserved to get yelled at on national TV. I think Gummy was a scammer who likely did shoddy work all around. The Plaintiff was looking for cheap (sounds like he was looking to sell it fast), so IMO he got what he deserved as well.

The only time I ever considered giving a hard tap to my horn* to the person in front of me at the drive-thru was when to the woman who took F-O-R-E-V-E-R to place her order, I could hear her doing the "what's in that?" and "do you have such-and-such instead". People like that woman, who apparently needs every thing explained, need to get out of the car and walk into the building, instead of holding up people like myself who just want a large coffee with 3 creams. *to be clear, I did not, but the guy behind me did, and all it did was make the woman in front me give the finger to those behind her and continue asking for explanations/substitutions.

And this is why my boss has declared a "no working lunch meeting" rule, because there are a lot of people with no basic table manners. Add to that people who bring the messiest/smelliest/noisiest food items to eat, and it becomes nauseating. I watched high-level, college educated man shove half a cheeseburger in his mouth while explaining this month's gross profit gain with stuff flying all over him and anyone near him. Ick. And I am an eat-my-desk person as well, the cafe in my office is small, plus I need to be here if my boss needs anything, and I don't mind. I actually prefer it, I can get my personal stuff done while I eat and it keeps people from interrupting me.

1,000 times yes! I live near a college with a fairly large feral cat colony, volunteers regularly trap them for neutering/spaying and any medical issue they notice, but do you know how those kitties came to be feral? College kids who adopt cats for company and then dump them upon graduating. The college does as much as they can to deter the practice but to no avail. Angers me beyond sanity to think of these poor things being loved and cared for 4 years and then just "set free" once the kid is ready to move on. Pets are not disposable!!!!!!

Well said! I have the same position and put up with the same crap. I've had people walk right by me, attempt to walk into my boss' office and when they see a room full of people they back up and turn to me to say "Oh, I didn't know she had a meeting!" I respond with "I did." It usually only happens a couple times before the newbie learns that I am the gatekeeper, I can help you or, if you're dismissive/condescending/arrogant, make it kind of difficult for you to get your face time, you choose.

Having lived through my parents enabling my younger brother for 50 years, through numerous financial crisis of his own making, 3 DUI's, 2 repo'd veehickles and one child (who he has done very little for), they have thrown good money after bad with him. Each time I hear "This time he's learned his lesson!" Ah no, no he hasn't, nor will he ever because they will continue to finance his poor life choices until they die. People like that never do learn anything other than how to take advantage of those that love them.

I have the same issue, my given name is formal but I grew up being called by its shortened version. When I started this job 27 years ago I made the conscious decision to use my formal given name instead because it sounded more "adult". When people find out that out of the office I go by the shortened version they always ask "which do you prefer?" and I used to say either is fine, but you're right, it didn't help them, so now I say "You are welcome to call me *shortened version*, I don't mind." It is weird sometimes to hear my shortened name at the office!

LOL - I once accidentally shut one of my cats in my walk-in closet where he was for approximately 30 minutes before I heard his yowls, by that time he'd dug a hole in my crappy carpeting trying to get out under the door, trust me, that shipping crate would have been shredded....

You are so right, chaps my ass! I am a dog lover but I know that my lifestyle is not dog-friendly therefore I help with my neighbor's dog, and pet every dog that I'm allowed to. Too many people think owning a dog is easy, it's not, they need socialization, exercise and attention and dogs that are over-bred tend to have a lot of health issues.
