All Episodes Talk: All Rise

[Tosia]

OMG, KELI RADKE! There are almost no words. Self-delusional. CPS will have her daughter within 6 months. The constant smiling. Kathy Bates in Misery has nothing compared to this mess.

[califred]

I went to his page too, not one person spelled all their words correctly. It gave me a headache.

I forgot about the parking lot accident, if she only had liability insurance it wouldn't have fixed her car. It looked like neither of them were paying attention.

[teebax]

I don't understand Parking Lot Lady's statement she had "full liability coverage" but had a $1,000 deductible. You don't have a deductible for liability coverage.

Sadly, I understood her completely. I won't miss dealing with people like this when I start my new job, btw. Some people call everything liability. What she meant to say was that she had full coverage, meaning physical damage as well.

Incidentally, some people do have a liability deductible on their auto policies, but it's pretty rare and usually on a commercial policy for something like a livery exposure, but I won't bore you too much with that.

This will be an unpopular opinion, but I was not a fan of JJ ruling it comparative negligence. Yes, I know girlfriend was driving too fast down the lane, but it was up to the other driver to see that and not just back out into traffic. I'm really tired of people backing out of spaces, or pulling right out in front of me, and assuming I'll stop for them.

Since I live in a place where insurance, like traffic signals, is just a polite suggestion more people ignore, I stop for drivers who do stupid shit. But it drives me nuts. People have become used to everyone stopping for them, so they drive like they're the only damn car on the road.

I'm off to watch Jaden Smith and see what all the hubbub is about.

Teebax, try living in a jurisdiction where a section of the Motor Vehicle Act starts "A pedestrian shall have the right of way...." and people just run with it, ignoring all of the conditions, restrictions and limitations that follow that phrase.  Hence, pedestrians step out into traffic anywhere and any time they please and cry "But I have the right of way."  Even worse, many motorists stop for them, no matter what. Whereas I believe a driver should get bonus points for hitting a stupid pedestrian in such circumstances.  I'm a fan of Darwin.

[augmentedfourth]

I knew exactly how the dog case was going to go down as soon as the plaintiff uttered the magic words ("off leash") - no matter how much of a shit the defendant made himself out to be, legally, JJ couldn't do anything about it. Had the plaintiff not said the magic words so early, he might just have talked himself into one of those situations where JJ decides she just can't deal with a litigant anymore and rules against him/her, law be damned. However, as the case went on, the plaintiff got more and more annoying anyway. Glad I don't live on that "private drive". (I do kind of have to admire the guy for bringing legal representation to a court TV show - is that a Judge Judy first?)

 

The 19-year-old whose car got dinged by the falling broken door gave me a little hope for the future. She came prepared and presented herself better than the majority of people we see on this show.

YES. A student who could actually speak her own language and was clear and concise. It's a miwwacle! I was bowled over, given the broken, mangled English we usually hear. I wish we could have heard from the defendant's son, Goofy.

 

Poor dead dog. I wonder if JJ had a headache after this. I know I did. Not only was plaintiff's dog offleash but on the other side of the street and she would NOT accept that she caused the poor animal's suffering and death. The defendant - oy vey! ( I knew someone like that. She was incapable of listening or of ever Shutting.The.Fuck.Up. Trying to talk to her was exhausting.) His lawyer may have been quieter, but no brighter as he wanted to argue after JJ clearly and loudly said it was all the plaintiff's fault. "I didn't kill the dog. I didn't kill the dog." Repeat 10X.

 

Tristen looked, and sounded, a lot like Jaden Smith.  And had the same self esteem.

 

Does Jaden look like he has a mushroom cap stuck on his head too? Who could blame the plaintiff for being so bowled over by Tristen's charming personality, his jazzed up grill and sparkly earrings? Don't tell me no one here would start shelling out cash to him two weeks after hooking up on FB!  Having said that, plaintiff is a dumb bunny. I hate it when these ridiculous women get their money back.

That plaintiff needed her head examined. She claimed to have $1000 in her bank account, and she gave Tristen $800 of it. I think she said she was a waitress. Granted, she lives with her mother, but even for higher earners, lending $800 would be quite a hit to the bank account. 

 

I think schools need to start teaching kids about the possible consequences of "meeting" people on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, whatever else they're on. Stranger danger.

[teebax]

Tristen didn't know what "coif" meant. His sucker ex didn't know what a "bum" was. Maybe they should both invest in some classes instead of spending money on fronts and clothes and such.

I may have missed it, but why was dude in the dog case allowed to being his attorney? I thought that wasn't allowed in small claims court.

[Quof]

Attorneys are absolutely allowed in small claims court, and this isn't real court anyway.  JJ makes her own rules.  Had it been "real" small claims court, the attorney would have been speaking on behalf of the defendant, and the defendant would have spoken only to offer evidence, not to speak to Judy.

[zillabreeze]

 

I am amazed every day by the number of people who go zooming down the rows in parking lots. I really do creep when I back out - my son always complains since we have a backup camera.  Doesn't matter.  Idiots abound.

I have back up alarms, but what scares the crap out of me is the parents I see walking through a parking lot, looking at their phone, while their little loin droppings are running off leash.

I live in fear of backing over one the heathens while their mama consults with other neurosurgeons on her phone.

Actually, it looks like there are some states where you're not allowed to have a lawyer in small claims court. So I didn't just pull that out of my ass.

And I know it's not a real court. I don't think I've ever seen anyone bring a lawyer to JJ except as a witness.

For sure she had no clue what a "magnet" was either. I guess there's no mention of magnets on FB or Twitter.

This kind of snark brings tears to my eyes - tears of joy.

I think she said she works in a "Call center", so probably making way less than a waitress would.

I reluctantly looked. I see what you mean.

I'll bet the poor little doggie in heaven is actually relieved to get away from its owner and her unpleasant, sour, pouting mouth.  Yuck.

[ItsHelloPattiagain]

 

Oh, me too! Every time the landlady opened her mouth it was like nails on a chalkboard - and she continued to screech on when JJ was leaving...OY!!!

Oh Lord, that Landlord Lady. . . her voice was hurting my eyes it was so obnoxious. I nearly had to fast forward her. 

 

What. .  was up with Crystal the Bartender? ( or Bat-tender which is more apropos in this case). Why was she so squirrely? The unfortunate dead guy cut off her meth supply?  She looked like if somebody sneaked up behind her and yelled "boo" she would splinter into a million pieces (all with teensy bats to beat us with and we would collectively say "Owwww" and there would be blood)

[SandyToes]

So I'm watching the repeat episodes and what a disagreeable assortment of people! Each case features folks who get ickier and ickier. First we had the drunk who caused a car crash by grabbing the wheel of the car, and claimed she lied to the police. Always a smart thing to confess in front of 10 million of your closest friends. Then there's the woman who "takes care of her kids" via Byrd's tax dollars claiming that since she didn't know the $900+  money order was fake, she has no responsibility in the case. She was pretty quick to spend it, though! Glad the 18-year old who tried to befriend her got her money back. Then the squirrely woman and her loser hubby who decide they don't like the water pressure in the house so they quit paying rent. But still live there, of course. Plaintiff landlord won, but barely, because she was so insufferable JJ almost through her out. (Me, too.)  Now we've got the scamming woman who claims her name is on a deadbeat friend's car title, but she wants the money back from the car that she had baby-daddy put his name on. Another one of those "I bought a thing, but don't want the thing, I just want the money" cases.  Coupled with gift/loan/parking ticket/scam/scam etc, rinse and repeat.  

 

If anyone ever wanted an argument for teaching sex ed in the schools, this show is it. Once upon a time, people waited to have children until they could afford to raise them, as opposed to popping out more when money gets tight (or because they have no idea how it happens).  /End rant. Just a personal pet peeve, and in no way should be taken as a generality across the board. But we sure seem to see some like that here.

I don't have a Facebook account either. Did the "model" say how much money he received from the show?

[27bored]

1st case: OK, what about the defendant looked like he was going to accomplish anything except infecting your ass with the Rage virus from 28 Days Later? I don't care if he said he'd been in business for 15 years or 15 minutes, I would've been like, "I'm good, boo". That tore up ass porch looked nice, but like JJ said, some people stank but you can't tell from a distance.

 

2nd case: Damn, the plaintiff went from zero to bitchty in 2.5 seconds, didn't she? Jesus. Shut the fuck up. The girl painted that stupid fucking room and you hadn't did shit in except make money off of it. Re-paint it and go on about your life.

 

3rd case: Dude, the defendant was lying his ass off. I could tell with the way he was talking. I don't think I liked the plaintiff -- she seemed like a pain in the ass -- but he had two jeeps and he didn't leave in the truck that was in her name. Well, first of all, she wound up not getting anything for it anyway. And second, if he was contributing to the household, she should've charged it to the game. I bet the only reason she got it in her name is because his credit was FUBAR. That's also probably why he was living with her in the first place. I...couldn't. You can, and probably should, do bad by your goddamn self. It's one thing to bring all the emotional bullshit into a new relationship; the criminal record, the fucked-up ass credit, the brokeassness, the nowhere-else-to-goality, and the playhouseousness...needs to be kept for the people who have to love you. You don't have to be rich, but at least have your shit together before you decide to share your whole entire world with someone. Not only will it save you from screwing over an innocent person, but when you work hard to have something of your own, you kinda start to look for that in others too.

 

4th case: I'm kind of ashamed to say the defendant looks almost exactly like porn star Johnny Sins. I...really should not know the names of male porn stars, but there it is. This case was stupid, though, and it's another case of "mom helps out dependent child and layabout live-in boyfriend/girlfriend, then when dependent child moves back in with them, they want live-in bf/gf to pay up". Doesn't work that way. I didn't see the end Because The Weather.

I don't know who that is.  Really.  I don't.  I thought he looked like an orc, but with better skin. 

 

But there WAS someone on TV or in a movie who looked like that, only the look was achieved with prosthetics.  It's gonna bug the hell out of me until I can figure it out.  Bald, small head, pointy ears. 

 

I felt bad for the mom.  Daughter had that deer in the headlights look.  Meds need adjusting, poor woman.

But but but---that would deprive you and me and millions of others the experience of actually working for a living to help bail their lazy asses out.

I was watching a rerun today in which a woman who had almost lost her child once for keeping her home in deplorable conditions had moved in with her mother, who had to put her out for being such an ungrateful pig. The pig couldn't be bothered to work and blamed her mom for her and her kid having to move into a shelter. I guess getting a job just didn't dawn on her.

As I was yelling at her through my TV set to get a job it dawned on me that I'm being a hypocrite. I am technically unemployed until they finish my criminal background check, required for the security clearance I need at my new job. So I wondered if it was okay for me to yell at her to get a job while being technically unemployed myself.

Then I decided that since I'm still paying my bills on my own with my savings, it's probably okay. So I'll continue yelling at lazy litigants to get off their asses and support themselves.

[SandyToes]

And teebax, if you ever needed a loan/gift, you know we'd borrow you the money in a heartbeat.

As for who the jailbird boyfriend looks like, my first thought was Herbie the Dentist/Elf.  Or a little Matt Lauer-ish.

I thought he looked like Solas from Dragon Age: Inquisition, but with glasses. You have your porn, I have my video games, and they're probably at the same level of "socially acceptable" in JJ's world. :D 

[momtoall]

Then I decided that since I'm still paying my bills on my own with my savings, it's probably okay.

 

 

Savings???  Savings you say .... You wouldn't make very good litigant on JJ, unless of course you gave some/most of it to someone you fell in love with in 2 weeks.

AuntiePam! You mean "Dobby"? YES, well, he looked like the love child of Dobby and a pointy-eared hobgoblin.  Or Nosferatu. Or something.  Eek. Daughter has "anxiety issues" so what better way to relax than to choose a creepy, fugly ex-con goblin for a boyfriend? I wonder what he did to end up in prison.

 

Quote

Damn, the plaintiff went from zero to bitchty in 2.5 seconds, didn't she?

 

I don't get people like Joannie, the landlady. Instead of living in a 3 bedroom, two bath, loft condo that she can't afford and renting out rooms to complete strangers, why doesn't she live in a one bedroom place she CAN afford? Yeah, she was a real bitch and she can paint her own damned room.

 

I think I'm never taking my car out of the garage again. It seems no drives around with a valid license, registration or insurance and simply cannot drive without crashing.

 

So I wondered if it was okay for me to yell at her to get a job while being technically unemployed myself.

I kind of got why the accused dog killer was upset. His argument was that he didn't run the dog over period. JJ ruled that it was the owners negligence that resulted in the dog dying, she didn't care who actually killed the dog. The defendant wanted his name cleared. He was the obnoxious type, but I kind of got his point. The fact that he brought her flowers tells me he might have known who did run it over ( his son???) but he wasnt going to take the blame.

I kinda got that from his testimony, but he was doing a really bad job of getting it across. The constant interruptions, the unimportant details, the total lack of courtroom etiquette, etc., made it hard for JJ to get anything coherent out of him.

Confession time! Three weeks ago, I purchased new car (or, in JJ speak, a new VEHICKLE). The dealership said they notified my insurance company. Having not recieved a new insurance card after three weeks, I called the insurer. Turns out they had no idea I had a new car and that I'd been uninsured the whole time!! So for three weeks, I could have been a prime JJ litigant.

Please forgive me. :(

Your insurance doesn't automatically cover new cars for a certain amount of time? I think mine does for 30 days, although I made sure to report my new car the day I bought it anyway.

See, if you had told that tale on JJ, we would have been here snarking about your lame "I didn't know I had no insurance" story. Heehee!

 

I got stopped by a cop a few weeks ago. She said I went through a stop sign, so of course I tried to bribe her and argued and fought with her (and am going to lodge a complaint for her disrespecting me!). Anyway, I had an expired insurance card. Oops. I had forgotten to pick up the new one at the post box and she believed me. So yeah, these things do happen.

 

I made sure to report my new car the day I bought it anyway.

 

Yep. When I get a new car, I call my broker myself.

That JJ contest requires you to be a Facebook member and you will get a tax filing thingy for the value of the trip over $600 and they are valuing the trip at $1,500. 

 

My husband and son have their dealers license for cars, used to have a car lot, now just deal with the financing part behind the scenes. Too much trouble dealing with the public (and friends, family, people you have known your whole life, come out and cheat you worse that any stranger!). But there are forms that have to be filled out for insurance when you buy a car (I know you know all this, and the posters here know this, not schooling y'all). The reporting of the car might not be on the dealership side, it might be on the insurance side Angelahunter.  A car place does not want to deal with you not having insurance if something happens. If it were me, I would be checking with both the dealer and the insurance to see where the slip up happened. Not to nitpick but that is serious business and I would want to know for sure which place made the mistake.

Thanks for the contest information.

In my last job, I'd sometimes get calls from dealers when my clients acquired new vehicles. Or sometimes the clients themselves would call and notify me. But as a consumer, I wouldn't rely on the dealer. I'd want an insurance card showing that the new vehicle was covered.

My question was about the actual policy. Most policies give you a grace period to inform them of the new vehicle. If you have accident within that grace period, they will cover you. If the vehicle you bought is replacing a vehicle on your policy, it will be covered in the same manner. In other words, if you're replacing one car that had full coverage, the new vehicle will also have full coverage during that grace period. If not, it may just be covered for liability.

[Guest]

You know, it may have automatically covered it ... but once she told me there was no record of the car, my mind started reeling thinking about all the accidents I didn't have but surely could have and how I would never have another single cent to my name if I didn't have the insurance. I mean, honestly, I really don't know how people can NOT have car insurance and not be a stressed-out mess every time they get behind the wheel.

Yes, the dealer sent all the info to my broker, but I called him myself just to make sure all was in place. This is what I don't get about so many litigants who say "I was in the process of/working on getting insurance." What crap. Of course I don't have crashes and unpaid tickets and DUIs on my record and haven't put someone else's car "underneath" my name. Makes the process a littler smoother.

Back when I still had a car (I live in NYC; it's really not necessary to have one, plus driving is a blood sport here so I'm now happily car-free) I always feared that whatever insurance I had wouldn't be enough in the event of an accident and I'd get hit with one of those bajillion dollar lawsuits and still lose everything I'd worked so hard for. Where JJ litigants are concerned, I think you answered your own question: They already DON'T have a single cent to their names -- that's where that whole "working hard" stuff comes into play -- so they have nothing to lose.

 

Plus, insurance is retroactive to the time you needed it but didn't have it, right?

But there are forms that have to be filled out for insurance when you buy a car (I know you know all this, and the posters here know this, not schooling y'all). The reporting of the car might not be on the dealership side, it might be on the insurance side Angelahunter.  A car place does not want to deal with you not having insurance if something happens. If it were me, I would be checking with both the dealer and the insurance to see where the slip up happened. Not to nitpick but that is serious business and I would want to know for sure which place made the mistake.

Not that I buy new cars that often, but I always call my insurance company when I start the process - before I even get the car...and I'm on the phone with them again when I pick it up! I'm so paranoid about insurance....

I didn't even know dealerships handled it!

Loved the hallterview repeat today:  "He's been taking advantage of me for six years."  Okay, sweetie? He's not the problem. But your hair looked way cool!

That sucks stewedsquash.  Eons ago I used to work at a one-man insurance office (secretary) and saw some cases denied that I had to shake my head at. Even if you have a good policy you can still get screwed sometimes. 

 

I thought "15 yrs in the business" porch guy contractor was a Muppet.  He and Crystal "stole money from a dead guy...hit other dude with a bat" were from the same show.

 

My sincere apologies to Jim Henson and the crew......

 

ETA:  Whoa...didn't pick up on the math of the porch guy's age.  Maybe he was giving his equally inept father a hand at 12?

Who else saw the Porch Lady and the Mouthbreather Builder case? I hate to judge by appearances only, so i waited until the defendant opened his mouth, then wondered WTF Porch Lady not only hired that mouth breather but hired him without getting a written contract. (I concluded she was as nuts as he.)

Well, he was about as thick as they come.  JJ kept asking him why he didn't have a written contract, and he just repeated the same response:  he didn't need one because he had a verbal agreement.  He couldn't understand why writing might be better.  What really got me was he said he had been doing this for fifteen years.  Didn't his original title card say he was 27?  He was a contractor since he was 12?  No wonder he was inept.  Can someone else confirm this?

Need some help with the math.  He's 27 and has been in this business for 12 years (according to his testimony), 15 (according to his on screen bio blurb).    Not an iota of curiosity from JJ?  Alrighty then.  

 

49 years old, no written contract, paid 75% of the job fee up front.  Actually said the words "according to our verbal agreement".....  I pinched the bridge of my nose.

He probably helped his dad/uncle/cousin/guy next door who did handyman work on the side. He was the guy who fetched tools, steadied boards, help carry sacks of things, and maybe even crawled into tight spaces that dad/uncle/cousin/guy next door couldn't fit into.
