All Episodes Talk: All Rise

[ItsHelloPattiagain]

Talented Tenth, I certainly didn't mean AXE as anything racial. I hear it all the time at work and it's certainly not color-specific. There are times where I'm doing dictations and hear doctors with horrific grammar ("I explained the patient" instead of "I explained TO the patient" - I have several who are enamoured with 'due to the fact that" instead of "because"). 

 

Dang, Bratinella, you stole my thunder!! I apparently spend too much time at the Cracker Barrel where they actually sell Wooly Willy toys. Now let me play with my musical spoons I bought there last month. . . 

[6 MeowMeowBeenz]

Worse than axe, IMO, is the improper use of "seen"

 

As in, I seen the bitch keying my car. 

[califred]

I love the meme on Facebook that says if you start a sentence with "I seen" I know it's not going to be followed by "the inside of a dictionary"

I hope that today's new episode is not the entire half hour.

[Sarcastico]

Talented Tenth, I certainly didn't mean AXE as anything racial. I hear it all the time at work and it's certainly not color-specific.

 

 

Indeed, when I was growing up in the sordid, depraved suburbs of NYC in the 60s and 70s, we associated "axe" with Brooklyn.  Like "deese-dem-doze" and "toidy toid & toid."

[BubblingKettle]

I got distracted during today's first case, but the second case captured my attention. It's always fun to watch Judge Judy peel back the layers and expose a scam artist. The defendant was a scuzzy ex-con with heterochromia (blue eye - brown eye)  who sells cars without titles and robustly announces in the hallterview that he has no shame and no plans to stop. I didn't catch his name -- I wish I had because I would have googled for a mug shot.....JJ told the plaintiff to call the cops on him, as he surely sells stolen cars left and right. JJ offered to furnish a videotape of the episode to present as evidence to the cops. The plaintiff needs to watch more court shows and learn to stay away from these types of situations.

[SandyToes]

Oh, Nadia Day.  How I wonder what poor schmuck is footing her "rent" now.  Few litigants get me crazier than Ms. Day. When JJ asked her how old she was, I wonder if she thought Ms. Day would answer "22" or something.  37?  Yeah, principle is right.  "I scam, and then sue you."  Uh huh.

 

I hope someone somewhere is keeping tabs on her.

 

I need more wine.

[ShadowSixx]

OMG was that lady serious about suing after living in a place for 6 months free? Plus she gets to live in a place up to a year free without paying rent yet wants money so she can move out. Saying it's about the principle. GTFO. Talks about being harassed and how landlord was malicious and doesn't bother to move out if landlord is being malicious or doesn't bother to call the cops or report her for what she's doing which is not being able to have "quiet enjoyment" of her rental property. She then says that rent in Long Beach is expensive and as JJ pointed out don't live in Long Beach, live in another city where rent is lower. That lady was clearly delusional and she's 35 years old. Oy. 

[NYGirl]

I think only the surface was scratched on that case today and I'm mad we didn't get more.  JJ doesn't care that we wanted more of that story. 

 

It's not every day that I want to know more of what's going on.

I bet friends of Nadia's mom are probably on the phone right now like, "Girl did you see Gloria's (made up mom name) girl on Judge Judy? Child that heifer crazy as hell. I always knew that girl was crazy. I knew it was going to be some mess when she first moved out to California."

 

The other case with the dude and the "location scouting"...that was weird. I think he was on the stroll and the older dude was looking for some strange. You just met the guy and you were staying in his house? The hell? And you say he was harassing you for sex? I mean, if you're not into that, or even if you are, nobody should harass you buuuuuuut why else would he let you stay in his house?

 

And locations for what? Porn?

 

The case with the chick suing the dude who sold her a car she couldn't register was bullshit. The dude said he wanted to give her $500 since she drove the car for a year and paid him $3000. Dude, can't knock off $3000 for depreciation if you weren't supposed to sell the cockadoodie car in the first place.

One thing was for sure --- Judge Judy didn't want to hear the audio recording.  I agree that there are so many other details that we're missing. I think Nadia Day said the defendant caused her to lose her job. Even though it's probably BS, I would have liked to hear that story.

 

And 27Bored -- I totally agree with your post, especially the part about the guy trying to hide his down-low ways. Not only did he stay at the defendant's house, but he traveled with him to a gay pride parade. Shoot, I'm hetero and have no qualms about going with my gay friends to gay parades, gay bingo, whatever else, and if someone thinks I am a lesbian and if there's a need for me to correct them, I try to do it in a chill, friendly way. The plaintiff's adamant head-shaking and pissy face said it all IMO -- he wasn't just trying to prove a macho-straight status. That defendant spoke some truth.

That was my thought, as well.  "We met at a bus stop."  Yeah.

 

The car guy's name was Robert Resendez, and he's from Indiana, but I couldn't find anything on him.

[ElleMo]

I'll admit that despite my father's prodding, my husband and I went for a while without wills (and other similar paperwork). We figured if he dies, I get everything, and vice versa; if something like a plane crash took both of us out, the assumption (I know, I know) was that our parents wouldn't fight everything going to his brother, as I don't have any siblings and my parents have way more money and assets than we do anyway.

 

But as soon as the kids came along? We were in the lawyer's office the very next month getting that taken care of. (And yes, a real attorney!)

Hubby and I did the same thing when we were first married.  But once I was pregnant we got wills, POA, health care proxies and advance care directives appointed guardians for the kids and bought life insurance. I refused to buy life insurance before that. I got a small policy from my job and had 401K that DH could have cashed in; that would have paid for my funeral.  He didn’t need any extra $$ from me to pay for a vacation with some future girlfriend.  That he could have paid for on his own. I wasn’t going to bankroll his future happiness. LOL. Now with kids, things are much different.

The thing that struck me most about that case is how the plaintiff went looking for someone to scam her! I'm not saying she deserved it, but you'd have to be nutso to post an ad like that on freaking Craigslist. She'd have been better off taking the thousand she had and buying an even shittier car. If you can get a friend or family member to hold a note for you while you make payments, that's one thing; to go looking for a stranger to do that is an invitation to every hustla out there.

I'm glad youse guys* got your planning done, but I want to emphasize that having children is not the only reason to do estate planning. If I were in a serious accident I wouldn't want to be the next Terri Shiavo, and there are enough fundies in my family for that to happen. I also wouldn't want to leave my loved ones to agonize over decisions when I could have made my wishes clear. I know that you know this; but I want to make sure our fellow boardies consider it, too. If you have anyone in your life you care about and vice-versa, you need to plan your estate.

In this digital age, people also need to make sure it's easy for their loved ones to find their passwords, bank information, healthcare documents, life insurance policies, social media stuff, phone numbers, etc. My loved ones will be devastated enough if something happens to me (I think!) The only mail I get now is junk mail, so without access to my online accounts, they'd have a very hard time sifting through the money that comes in and goes out. I would also want them to log on my Facebook page, boards I frequent like this one, and my email accounts to let people I regularly conversate* with know that something happened to me.

Same here, Teebax. My docs are very clear..pull the plug! I have a little notebook in my desk at home that has all of my passwords and user IDs in it. I really started it for my sister to know how to get onto various utility, insurance, investment sites in case something happens to me, but I use it more than I care to admit when I forget what the latest permutation of any given password is! Also, my financial guy gave me a document to complete if I have any particular burial wishes, who to notify (my sis doesn't know every single friend I have), and where important docs are located. I have shared the template of this doc with friends because some people have special wishes...cremation or not, scriptures, music, open bar (ok, I added this one, but yes please!), stuff like that. I sure wish said sister would reciprocate and let me know all the above info. I am SOL if something happens to her. It would be a full-time job to sort through that tornado of an office she has. And that would seriously cut into the time allotted for JJ viewing and forum posting!

Almost forgot the most important thing! Not only is it on my drivers license but in the extra doc that has the special wishes...please...give my organs and tissue to others in need. I will no longer have use for them. But that needs to be clearly documented!

[barbedwire]

Scummy scammer guy met his match in JJ.  I hope that girl follows thru and gets the police involved.  Ask to see the title!  Don't make payments to strangers!  She needs to watch more JJ.

 

And as per your other discussion:  when my parents died my siblings and I were SO happy they had a Living Trust.  So easy (but time consuming, as is any death) to get through things and carry out their wishes.  Thanks mom and dad!

[Guest]

Saving the best for last, to make all y'alls head explode, I have no will, no legal documents for anything, I have just told them no organ donation, no service, just grave side prayer and bury me, y'all can figure out what Daddy has planned money wise. And to stop the twitching of the heads exploding will leave this little tidbit: I don't go to the doctor, don't have annual exams, don't do breast exams, mammograms nothing nada. If I get a normal broken arm or strep throat or something like that, I might go, after waiting almost too long to set the bones correctly.

Omg! I want to be you! No lie. I'm a total hypochondriac and get myself so stressed out and worked up into full-blown panic waiting for yearly test results I think I've shaved years off my life. Hats off to you, stewedsquash!

In yesterday's case of the broken chandelier, I think that jackass Plaintiff was scamming Judge Judy. He couldn't even keep a straight face relating the story of the Defendant "crying on his porch." Boring cases. The other one I don't even remember. Which means one thing: I have Alzheimer's. Gotta go. Calling doctor.

[Mondrianyone]

I'm donating my body to science, those poor bastards!

 

I'm donating my body to science fiction.

 

(I stole that from Rodney Dangerfield.  But it needed to be said.)

 

From what I could see of the bits of chandelier in the photo, the idea that it appraised for $24K is beyond laughable.  I went through a crystal-chandelier phase (never actually bought one, but I did shop a lot online), and if that one was worth even $1K, I'd be shocked.  Kind of telling that after the verdict he said, "I can't believe she didn't buy my story about the chandelier!"  Because that's what you always say when you've told the truth and nothing but the truth.

[Rick Kitchen]

OMG, that teenaged "witness" that was putting on her lipstick IN THE COURTROOM!  Just how stupid is she?  Plus she looked like she was on something, she couldn't keep her head up.

[SandyToes]

Rick, she really got hammered in court, didn't she?!  Loved the lipstick bit. Ha! And contributed so much to the proceedings.  Bleh.

 

One of the other older ones I got today about the mother/son repo'd car case. I thought it interesting the JJ didn't tell mom to either give the money back, or give the car back.  I had to watch and rewatch bits because I couldn't figure out what was going on. Car in Mamma's name, Son paid deposit, but not the payments, so she takes the car back. That part I get. Plus, not wanting uninsured gf toodling around town causing mayhem. But why not give the deposit back to the son, if she has the car? No idea on the time frame - maybe he'd driven it for a year or two? It just seemed like a reversal from what she's done in the past.

 

 

The case with the chick suing the dude who sold her a car she couldn't register was bullshit. The dude said he wanted to give her $500 since she drove the car for a year and paid him $3000. Dude, can't knock off $3000 for depreciation if you weren't supposed to sell the cockadoodie car in the first place.

 

Almost needed a score card for this one, too, to keep up.  Her whole situation was odd.  Paying $3000 for a car worth $2400?  And she seemed okay with that?  "I didn't think the difference was too much."  For someone who could only afford to put down $300 on a car, I would think $600 would be pretty significant. But good for her for making her agreed upon payments. I hope she followed through.

[Quof]

Chelsea Triplett, She of the Scam Car Purchase, had that annoying habit of using extra words or syllables to make herself sound smarter (You know, like when people say "please contact myself" instead of "please contact me", which sounds stupid and is grammatically incorrect.)

 

JJ "What did you say to him?"

CT  "When I had talked to him, I had told him."    "Then when I had gone to his house, I had picked up the car."

 

Stop it!

[ShadowSixx]

38 pets. Yikes and never. I wasn't paying much attention to the case but that must be very costly to be taking care of 38 pets. That would drive me into bankruptcy. I already stretch my budget with the one cat that I have. Hopefully she's not a hoarder.

[califred]

Plus she was a flight attendant so someone else was dealing with them regularly.

I got crazy limo owner today who thinks all accidents are negligence.

Maybe she has a 5 gallon tank with 32 guppies.

 

BTW, I am on an organ transplant waiting list, so, a hu-u-uge thank you to all of you that have the foresight and the generosity to be organ donors, and to let your family know that this is your wish. Five gavels to organ donors!

 

The dog case was pretty tedious, but the plaintiff was mildly entertaining.

The dog case left me feeling badly for the dog. The odd couple just got the dog to have something to prance around at dog shows, I guess. Maybe the dog didn't win any ribbons, so they wanted to dump it for another dog? For a second, I thought that maybe they needed the money (not like that's a sufficient reason to show a furry friend the door) -- then, I realized that they wouldn't be playing around at out-of-town dog shows if they were low on funds. Then, the poor dog had to put up with Mr. Impatient.....even Judge Judy said there was no question as to why the dog had an accident on that old grump's floor. He reminded me of a former coworker and her husband -- they got a dog from the shelter and promptly returned him because he hopped up on the couch. 'Scuse me? I asked why she didn't just train the dog to stay off the couch, and she claimed that it was just soooo awful and they couldn't even handle the situation. Jackasses. Especially because the particular shelter put returned dogs on death row. Oh, and on a somewhat related note, I wish Judge Judy hadn't said 'pet shop' today. 

[One Tough Cookie]

He reminded me of a former coworker and her husband --

 

 

Damn--I was hoping for a "he peed on the floor" story!

[teebax]

Damn--I was hoping for a "he peed on the floor" story!

I have a peed on the floor story for you, but it was my dog, not a human.

 

I had new carpet installed two Saturdays ago, to replace the are of my carpet my dog pulled up when I first left him alone and he thought I was never, ever, ever coming home. He had major separation anxiety when I rescued him. Anyway... not two hours after the new carpet was installed, he walked over and peed ALL OVER IT. And this is a dog who is house-trained trained and has a freaking dog door so he can come and go in and out of my yard as he pleases.

 

He's lucky he's cute, because I was seriously tempted to commit beagle-cide. I've just now begun to forgive him. That was a level of pissed off I hadn't felt in ages.

[27bored]

So...my girlfriend thinks I'm mean, inappropriate, and maybe a little insane. I didn't even do anything, though! We were at Waffle House Saturday and there was a interracial couple in the booth in front of us with two daughters. I told her that I have a tendency to name biracial girls after bad Mariah Carey albums...in my head. She held her head and said "oh my God..." and I was like, "what? It's not like little Glitter and little Charmbracelet can hear me". So then she was like, "you are horrible!" and was trying not to laugh. So I got up, went over to the jukebox, and played "We Belong Together" and proceeded to sing it to her. She was acting embarrassed but deep down I know she's ready to marry my ass.

 

Anyway.

 

The fuck was up with the owner of Ross Perot Limousine Services? He had a bogus contract and then didn't pay the man his wages. Then, when JJ told him to have his lawyer in TN fax something showing he was there and that's why he missed the hearing with the labor board, he got a bunch of nonsense. He wanted to take his daughter to Chattanooga and shit. And then he was getting smart with JJ and it was like, dude, you have no proof that he damaged your stank ass limo. But he still wanted to talk about it. You need better insurance if it doesn't do shit for you.

 

The dude who couldn't remember anything about anything with the girl who matches her dog was nice enough to loan her some money. But he couldn't remember her birthday which is July 4th...it's always amazing to me when people don't know the littlest facts about people they fuck with. There are so many people who don't know what their parents do for a living, their parents' birthdays, and other basic shit like that.

 

The chick with all the pets was weird. Maaaybe a little crazy. I bet she had a well-to-do husband who left her because she likes animals more than people.

 

The last case with Princess Dandy Ridge Brandy Wine and her shitting up the good doctor's home. Why were they bleeping out "poop"? Is this on Disney Channel or some shit? If they show Raven-Symone's menstruation mohawk ass and Ariana Grande unpatriotically licking on doughnuts, I think we can handle "poop" in the middle of the afternoon. For real.

[seacliffsal]

Teebax-several years ago I had new carpet put in and my beloved dalmatian who never had an accident in the house peed on it. I said something to the carpet installer regarding my shock and he said that there's something in the glue and carpet backing that they use that dogs respond to by peeing (it was several years ago so I'm not quite sure what it was that excited the dogs). This may be what happened with your dog (I had a different rescue dalmatian that tried to eat the wallpaper off of the wall, so there is something about the type of glue they use).

[khyber]

I'm so used to old ladies dying their hair dark colors but its not that common in old guys. The good doctor's hair reminded me a bit of Pres. Reagan.

[augmentedfourth]

I spent the majority of the Pekingese case yelling "Maybe the dog just DIDN'T LIKE YOU!" By the end, I can't say I blamed it. I loved how the plaintiff insisted that the dog "went crazy", and for the entire case, it was perfectly fine just chillin' on the table.

 

I thought they were bleeping out "piss", not "poop".

[27bored]

I thought they were bleeping out "piss", not "poop".

 

That's possible. The only thing, though, is they bleeped it out both when he said it and when JJ said it. Somehow I doubt she would've said "piss". He might've said, but she repeated whatever it was that he said.

Re: the bleeping out of poop --- I was also wondering why that was considered an expletive. I mean, on The People's Court a litigant said "Tough SHITski" a couple of times and the judge found it funny and repeated it, and it aired without bleeps.

I thought Judge Judy was going to start laughing at the Turtle Rescue lady. I think she was just holding it together until her sushi lunch with Bird. And all I could think of the entire time was what her profile would look like on Plenty of Fish or Match dot com. "Hi, I'm a flight attendant and animal lover. . . "

 

I have no idea why Pekingese Ronald Reagan thought he could buy a perfectly trained dog. Dogs may be considered property but are living breathing creatures. Maybe he needed one of those plaster dog doorstops painted up to look like a Pekingese. I currently have a dog I got five years ago from a supposedly well to do family (who paid over a grand at a puppy store) - they said the dog was two years old - but she was actually four with rotted teeth and she promptly ran upstairs and peed and pooped on my carpet before they could catch her. She also had OCD (yes, dogs can get OCD). I still took her and love her to death even though she has scratched away a good portion of the weather stripping on my front door because I can't seem to open the door fast enough when I get home. 

[BubblingKettle]

Jourdan and Janae dated, but Janae was a lying, cheating snake. He "quit her," as he said....and she poured sugar and flour into his car's gas tank. Janae got the recipe from her friend Helena (who was raised with Jourdan as a "cousin").  Helena continued to show no loyalty to her pseudo-relative, Jourdan, by running all sorts of gossip back to evil Janae. Janae's face said "Oh shit, I'm busted" from the second Byrd announced the case, but she tried to deny her actions several times. Each time, her face said even more loudly and clearly that she was full of shit and up to no good. Jourdan seemed like a decent young man -- he needs to choose better 'ladyfriends.' He even claimed that Janae tried to put spells on him. Let's hope he learned a lesson -- after getting some cash for car repairs, he said in the hallterview that he doesn't plan to park any of his cars near women again.

 

The next case -- an annoying mother wanted rent money (with lease) from her daughter after she just turned 18. The mother lives on disability and she turns her kids into tenants for income. (Sure, older working children should pitch in a little --- but a formal lease? Sorry, I can't agree with that.) Having her pockets lined wasn't enough for her, she wanted to dictate her daughter's actions in the co-tenant scenario that she created. The mother was in an uproar about a boyfriend sleeping over, showering, etc. JJ told her that if she wants to have her daughter live in this roommate situation, she can't impose rules like that.  The mother complained that the daughter destroyed her "signed Marilyn Monroe print," and JJ wasn't really interested (thankfully).

[ShadowSixx]

That defendent was so full of it and how can text messages and audio recordings not be proof? Those two women had absolutely no idea how stupid they came off. Her face just had guilt written all over it. 

 

The mother was ridiculous, she can't sue her daughter as a daughter, she made her a co-tenant and paying rent. So if she's paying rent then the daughter can do as she pleases in that house that she's paying rent. She can have guests over, she can pretty much do what she wants...legally. If daughter isn't a co-tenant and just living there, then she would have to follow mother's rules. Daughter can't ask for cat back after 30 days, cause pets are considered property and if you don't get it within 30 days it's considered abandoned and the person can do whatever they want with the property.

Janae's face said "Oh shit, I'm busted" from the second Byrd announced the case, but she tried to deny her actions several times. Each time, her face said even more loudly and clearly that she was full of shit and up to no good. 

 

YES.  I don't play poker, but if I did I'd want to play with Janae!

And really tried to explain that to the judge!   Yeah, that always goes over well.  Idiot Janae couldn't quit giggling in the hallterview, and even apologized.  What a cretin. Loved how JJ awarded him the full amount - even though it was the same as the value of the what he'd paid for the car.  She NEVER does that - unless she is really, really wanting to stick it to the defendant.  Heh.

I couldn't decide if watching the brilliant legal scholars Janae and Helena try to school JJ in what was or wasn't admissible evidence was hilarious or painful. Maybe a little of both.

 

I enjoyed JJ's explanation of daughter vs. tenant in the second case, even though the plaintiff didn't seem to get it. I thought I caught a slight whiff of "go on TV with a bogus case to get the free trip and a little money" with those two, but maybe the plaintiff really was that dim. Or stubborn. Maybe a little of both. ;)

The plaintiff in the mother suing her daughter for back rent was getting in my nerves because she kept doing weird things with her mouth. It's like damn, did you eat an oatmeal pie before you came out? Damn.

The chick who put flour in the dude's tank was crazy af. Plausible deniability doesn't work when they have proof it was you. Brown Bear Built Bitches Be Like "but how you know that was me?! That could be anybody RUUUUUH..." Fuck outta here.

She got on my last nerve. She said she's disabled (like, who isn't?) and I think her disability is mental since JJ explained to her in every way but using smoke signals that a landlord can't dictate who a tenant invites over, and she just did NOT get it. But it's nice that the family - except mom - is on board with the chosen career path. They're all telemarketers, even daughter's boyfriend.

The charming, intelligent (but illiterate) "Jenae" reminded me of a big bullfrog.

I got the rerun with the exs babysitter/girlfriend sticking her nose in where it didn't belongs. And calling CPS bc the little girl spread her legs @weird@ for diaper changes.

She and the kids grandmother were so smitten with the kids' father that they all piled in so he could drive in the high occupancy lane on the highway. Of course she believed everything he said! And the child's mother was the spawn of Satan! That's pretty par for the course in a custody hearing. I wanted to hit her in the head with my own coffee mug for butting her nose into other people's problems. 

 

I was very impressed with Jourdan's collection of evidence. I saw he was a barber and perhaps he makes good money but he would do well in college with his demeanor and smarts. That is - if he stays clear of Janae and her sugar-pouring tendencies and air headed excuses and Helena of the indescript hair color who couldn't figure out that she had set her own friend up (or perhaps she did and hastily retreated).

And finally someone that when he finds out his GF is cheating just walks away, no drama on his part. Just blocks her phone number and access to his facebook  and he's done. She, the one who did all the cheating, causes all the trouble.

That was just painful to watch.  Her mouth reminded me of old Clutch Cargo cartoons......ok I just dated myself on that one.  Maybe she had a mouth full of peanut butter.
