This guy was even more retch-inducing the second time around. I am sure he uses his disability to scam and bully people all the time, because they let him get away with such behaviour for fear of looking like the bad guys. In his case, his main disability is his loathsome dishonesty. Thankfully the driver had enough spine to stand up to him and take him to court.

He kept repeating, "I did pay you."  He probably paid after getting the court papers, hoping that she would drop the charges.  But she was REALLY incensed that he filed a complaint against her with Uber.  That's why she got such a big award from JJ.

This guy definitely had a scam going.  It's good that he was caught and this was publicized.  I suspect he's on a "never pick this loser up again" list for Uber, and has to hope that he can switch his scamming to Lyft.

3 p.m. reruns-

Case of the Missing Angel Statue-Plaintiff homeowner suing defendant painter for painting a mirror (sounds hideous) in her house, and an angel statue.   Homeowner never paid her.  Plaintiff had another estimate for mirror  $1800 to do the paint job.    Plaintiff claims mirror painting would cost $165, but supplies for the mirror cost more than $165 for the paint.  Painted did a total of five mirrors for the plaintiff, and sold the angel statue at a yard sale.  Plaintiff case dismissed, defendant gets money from selling the statue. 

Storage Battles-Plaintiffs loaned $3k to defendants to buy storage units, and sell merchandise at plaintiff's store, and plaintiff would work at the store selling.    Defendants repaid $2k, still owe $1k.    $1,000 to plaintiffs.

New-

Baby Daddy Disrupts Lesbian Affair-Two exes were fighting over plaintiff's baby Daddy and other issues, had a nasty breakup.   Plaintiff claims she left her TV behind, don't they all?  Then when plaintiff went to get her property, waiting for a police escort, then the plaintiff claims they rammed each other.   Police report says plaintiff hit defendant car, and three others that were parked.   Defendant claims plaintiff rammed her car and ripped up the front grill, and both sides of the car front.   Police report is given to JJ.    Police report says video shows plaintiff moving away from defendant's car. And report says plaintiff rammed the front left corner of defendant's car.    By a bizarre coincidence, Shermanique Collins, the plaintiff, had her insurance lapse the day before the demolition derby in the parking lot.  $500 to defendant, nothing to plaintiff. 

Good Sister, Bad Sister-Plaintiff sister suing defendant sister for defendant using her identity when she was stopped by police, and charged with possession or use of drug paraphernalia.   The citation was signed with plaintiff's name, but defendant signed it, and defendant has a record of four identity theft convictions.    Defendant's sister claims she was in prison most of 2016, so she didn't do it.  OMG!  The defendant has a longer rap sheet than Al Capone.    Defendant says she's been clean for over 3 years, but got arrested in 2017.     I can't believe anyone hired her in 2017.  However, she wasn't actually in jail, or prison the day of the ticket.      There is a recording of the defendant saying she would pay the ticket, and claims it won't appear on the plaintiff's record once it's paid for.    Because ticket wasn't paid for, they have now added fines to it.  $5,000 to plaintiff, because ticket is over $300, and plaintiff will have to get her record expunged, requiring a local attorney.  

Rerun-

How to Tell if You're a Crazy Cat Lady-JJ tells that she used to be a Crazy Cat Lady, so she knows how to tell someone is a crazy cat lady.   I remember this one.   Defendant has a bunch of cats she lets run loose, and they do the usual cat things, off the defendant's property.    Defendant thinks it's funny that neighbors have issues with her six cats, and will not stop the cats from roaming.   Plaintiff is a loon too.  Defendant refuses to keep her cats in her house, and wants the neighbors to pay to repair her fence.   This has nothing to do with the cats roaming.    JJ tells defendant to keep cats on her property, and in her house or get rid of them.     Defendant's witness is just as irritating as the defendant.    Plaintiff gets money for the clean up, but I'm not sure how much

Diamond-Encrusted Pawn Star-Plaintiff had a medallion that needed to be fixed.  Defendant wanted $200 to get the medallion fixed, then he lost, and found the medallion, and pawned it.   Medallion is gone, and defendant claims plaintiff threatened him and his family, so he was forced to pawn it.   Sadly, the plaintiff's receipt is done four days before case was heard.     Plaintiff claims it cost $3,000, and will cost more to make now.    $2500 to plaintiff.

Tenant Trouble-Plaintiff ex-tenant was unhappy renting property from defendants, and wants her rent back.     Plaintiff saw the place before she rented, and still stayed there for six months.     Security deposit was $450, and paid rent every month.   Security was not returned, because tenant left without notice.   Property was not legal to occupy, and there was no damage, so security of $450 is given to plaintiff.

(The new episode tomorrow has a violent dog attack on the plaintiff's child, and on his dog too.   You might want to skip that one).  (Also, second episode tomorrow is the rerun of the horse blogger/slaughter case).

I felt so sorry for the sister who has the druggie/jailbird sister. I have a feeling this is not the end of problems that will be caused for this family. It sounded like Judge Judy was saying that the show would help with the lawyer in So. Dakota to get the record expunged.

I had a co-worker who had to take a day off work, drive 100 miles,  4 counties over to appear on a speeding ticket that wasn't him.  The local sheriff & DMV told him that he would have to be there in person to prove that he was not where the ticket was written even though it wasn't his car. It was a mess but at least he didn't need a lawyer in another state.

Considering how utterly unrepentant that habitual scammer of a sister was in the hallterview, even implying she was the victim, I think you are right that she will continue on her impersonation spree and even worse. I hope the rest of the family is now wise to her ways.

I thought JJ meant that her decision affirming that the plaintiff had been the victim of an identity theft in this instance would help her to clear up this whole mess, but if the show is willing to go a little further in helping her setting things right and restoring her path towards a career in law enforcement, bully for them.

3 p.m. reruns (I think from 2016 or so)-

Crystal Meth and Disability-Plaintiff former tenant suing defendants/landlords for his rent back, and property he left behind when he moved.   Counterclaim for unpaid rent.  He claims the landlords threatened to turn him in for disability fraud, and claims they evicted him when he was a paid up tenant, and a perfect angel of a tenant.   Plaintiff paid in cash, no receipts, and roomed with the defendant's son, who he knew for a long time.   Landlords say he didn't pay three months rent by the time they issued the letter, and plaintiff paid up.  

Plaintiff says landlords wanted to get rid of him even though he was paid up, because he was doing crystal meth with roommate (landlord's son).    He's getting disability for an off work accident.    Plaintiff's case dismissed, $2k to landlords.   

Deceased Dad's Trailer Drama-Plaintiff suing step-daughter for unpaid loan to fix her late father's trailer.    Money paid back property taxes, some utility bills, repair trailer, and pay other expenses for a total of $5k.     The litigants went into a partnership to fix up trailer, and property, and when sold would get 35% to plaintiff, and 65% to defendant.    Defendant wants the expenses deducted from the profits, before it's split.  Defendant already paid $11k to plaintiff.   Defendant claims $5k wasn't a loan, don't they all?    The defendant's only document says 'repay loan to Steve', so it is a loan.    $3,125 to plaintiff.  Since wife/mother is witness for the defendant, then I suggest the family issues are on going, and not getting better.     

Troubled Teens' Crash Pad-Plaintiff claims a teen who moved into her home retitled a car into her name, not the plaintiff purchaser, and stole a ring.  Plaintiff couple have two or three teens (18 or 19 years old) who can't stay at their own homes live with the plaintiffs.  Defendant took paperwork to register the plaintiff's new purchase car, but instead titled and registered it in the defendant's name, and defendant took the car when she moved out.   The defendant had previously registered and titled the plaintiff's other car, and that was in defendant's name that was correct.  The car in question was for the teens to run errands, and do household chores.   Defendant claims plaintiff wanted her to get a title loan on 'her' car, for some lawyer fees they needed.  A cheap attempt to slur the plaintiffs.     There is a picture of defendant wearing the ring, but no proof that the ring was stolen by defendant. Ring case dismissed.    One good thing, the plaintiffs are now done with revolving door crash pad for troubled people. 

JJ gives defendant choice to sign title over, or have car theft charges pressed against her, so she signs the title over, and money from the case is only released after changed title is shown to the court.   

Pit Bull Breakout-Defendant's dog is actually a pit bull/Great Pyrennes mix, and huge. Plaintiff suing neighbor for vet bills from his dog escaping the yard, and attacked the plaintiff's Blue Heeler.    Defendant claims plaintiff's dog broke through fence, and injuries to plaintiff's dog were from fence nails.     Plaintiff was walking her two dogs (Blue Heelers) on a tandem leash, attacking dog broke through the fence (face, head, and shoulders) grabbed the nearest dog, and assaulted it.     The bottom of the old vertical fence boards aren't even nailed down, as shown in pictures.     Defendant put boards on the inside of the fence after the attack.    Plaintiff gets vet bills $418.00.

Good Sister, Bad Sister

This was almost as hard to watch as a dog attack video.  Here we have a responsible younger sister absolutely f'ed over by a person she should be able to look up to and trust.  Instead the junkie older sister leaves the younger one with what could easily be a lifelong mess.  Perhaps defendant sister has been clean and sober for 3 years as she claims.  But since she's CLEARLY skipped and fails to understand steps 8 and 9 her sobriety is in serious peril.

The one redeeming element of this case is we actually got to see JJ behave not as a TV character, but witness her flashing real judicial experience while using her authority to deliver justice in something more important than a $50 Craiglist television/cat fight case.

Finally, young Kayla Haxton sadly has a double trouble in the form of Vada's twin sister who's also a drug and alcohol mess.  Here's a semi interesting read:

5 p.m. shows-

New-

Border Collie Loses Ear in Attack-Plaintiff accuses neighbors' Rottweilers of mauling his Border Collie, and biting his son.    Plaintiff claims Rottweilers clamped on Border Collie through their fence, and in the fight to free the Border Collie the dog lost an ear.   The neighbors claim the Border Collie was actually on their property, and dogs were doing their duty.   The adult son of the plaintiff saw the attack, and was also injured freeing the dog.   The fence is wrought iron and the Border Collie's snout fits through the bars, but the Rottweiler doesn't fit through very far.   (However, the Rottweiler's must be able to fit through the fence to rip the ear.   The Rotts look more like Doberman crosses, and their snouts do fit through the fence.     There have been other dog issues, and with the deceased Daddy dog.    The fence should have had no climb wire put onto the fence.   Sadly, the Border Collie was through the fence, and son was injured by the dogs on his fence.   

Plaintiff claims the younger Rotts are vicious, and male defendant won't go in the yard with them.    Plaintiff gets nothing, and should put up wire fencing on his side.   Case dismissed.  (If plaintiff had half a brain, he would have put up wire mesh fencing on his side a long time ago.)

15K Investment in Not-So-Handy Boyfriend-Plaintiff and ex-boyfriend were working on a house in poor condition.    After they broke up, plaintiff wants $5k to pay for shoddy work by defendant.  Defendant did not charge for his work, because he's not a licensed contractor.    Defendant also left all materials in the house that the plaintiff purchased.   Plaintiff gets nothing, and defendant also gets nothing.   Defendant didn't have a contract for the home remodeling work, so he gets nothing. 

Rerun-(This was bizarre)-

Advocate Against Horse Slaughter-(I've seen the blog in question)-An award winning Racing, and Equestrian writer says she was slandered in the defendant's blog.  Plaintiff claims blog said she knew about race horses being sent to Mexico for slaughter, and sues for bullying by the blogger.    Plaintiff thinks the blog posting was actually written by the defendant, and not another writer on the blog.   Plaintiff hired a private investigator, who found out the blog, and the posting were both from the same IP address.   

However, my guess is that a posting would have to be from the same IP address, no matter who wrote it, because the blog is probably posted from the same computer, no matter the original source.       Defendant claims she didn't write the article in question, but refuses to name who is, so she loses.   

 (There are no legal slaughter houses in the U.S., and horses are sent to Mexico or Canada for slaughter for human consumption.    In the racing industry, anyone who funnels race horses for slaughter is in big trouble).   Just being hinted about being linked to sending racehorses to slaughter is the kiss of death for a horse industry person, so I can see why she was willing to pay for the investigator, and sue in court.  

Plaintiff was researching a specific San Diego TB rescue (rescue was shut down, and there is an on going investigation into it's operations, and animal cruelty allegations).     

Defendant refuses to name the blog posting writer, so she loses her case.  Plaintiff awarded $5,000.

15K Investment in Not-So-Handy Boyfriend

The latest retaliatory lawsuit by a spurned lover. 

[PennyPie18]

Re Bordercollie  Case: I thought, after seeing the pics of those Rotts, that they could absolutely fit their snouts/heads into the fence opening.  How else did they manage to rip off the poor dog's ear??? JJ is usually sympathetic whenever any dogs attack....I think her verdict was just wrong. At the very least, the son should have received compensation for his wounds.IMHO 

[CrazyInAlabama]

I think the Rottweilers were actually crossed with Doberman, from the pictures, and the defendant's own pictures.      However, I think the Border Collie did stick it's nose through, and that's when the three dogs latched on, and pulled the BC through the fence.    Why didn't the plaintiff put wire on the fence long ago?    I believe the plaintiff told the truth about the defendant husband being afraid of the dogs, and think he was even more afraid of his wife.   She seemed more vicious than her dogs.  

The fence edge might have ripped the ear when the BC was grabbed and pulled partially through the fence.     Everything could have been prevented if the plaintiffs had bought close mesh wire fencing, and wired it to their side of the fence years ago.     My guess is that if the defendant's dogs are as vicious as the plaintiffs say, that the fence won't stop them for long, and the next attack will be in the plaintiff's yard.

3 p.m. reruns-

Trucking Company Chaos-Trucking company owner sues driver for truck breaking down (a 1994 truck), and having to recover the truck.   To quote JJ: "Ridiculous".   The truck trailer was a two level car hauler, and the support posts for the top level were bad, but truck owner wanted him to load vehicles on the top level anyway, on temporary repairs.   Truck driver quit after company owner wouldn't pay him.    Driver wants to be paid for three days.   Case dismissed for plaintiff, and defendant gets $200.  

Stolen Boat Rip-Off-Plaintiff woman buys boat, says police (Fish & Game actually) confiscated boat, because it was stolen, and she wants $2000 for purchase price, and registration fees.   Defendant boat seller says Fish & Game never told him the boat was stolen, or contacted him about selling stolen property.  Defendant says he's not sure plaintiff's boat that was confiscated is the same one he sold her.   Police returned trailer to plaintiff, but not boat.  $1586 to plaintiff. 

When Bed Bugs Bite-Plaintiff / landlady suing former tenant for infecting her house with bed bugs, unpaid rent, and damages.  Defendants didn't pay multiple months rent, because of alleged issues with house, and part of house was subleasing to tenant.   Rental was a rent to own for house.   Tenants claims exterminator didn't come, but landlady had a regular pest control contract she was paying, and treated the bedbugs with another company that specializes in that pest, and landlady paid for all of this.     Defendant woman moved in a month early, and only paid half of the rent, didn't pay for April, and other months.     Pictures of before and after by landlady.    No walk through because tenants moved without notice.       Defendant claims security deposit was paid by the Red Cross, but she wants that money back anyway.     Plaintiff's witness is other tenant, and says the holes in walls and damages are from male defendant.    Defendant's case dismissed, plaintiff gets damages, and back rent.     

Dying Son, Deadbeat Dad-This is the classic case of the father who was told by plaintiff ex-wife that their adult son was dying, and he needed to come and see son immediately.    Son is in court as mother's witness.   Ex-wife paid for airline ticket for defendant, and let him stay in her house, and visit son.    Plaintiff gets money for airline ticket.

5 p.m. episodes-

New-

Sublease Nosedive-Plaintiff sublet apartment from defendants, however it wasn't a legal sublet, so now plaintiff wants his rent back.   Plaintiff claims defendant said it was legal to sublet, and plaintiff wanted his name added to the lease.   Plaintiff gave a month's rent and security, and when asked if he was subleasing by the manager, he lied to management.  Plaintiff stayed through July, and supposedly paid his rent.      Plaintiff gets security deposit back.    Defendants were evicted from the rental because they got caught subleasing to plaintiff.      Plaintiff gets $1,000.   Defendants receive nothing, they broke the lease when they went over early, so they get nothing. 

Pick-Up Fraud-Plaintiff suing mechanic who was going to rebuild a truck engine for her son's truck.    $4300 was the agreed amount, plus $1200 for labor, and $3100 for something.     Mechanic got a cheaper motor, it was bad, but put another rebuild in it.   Plaintiff drove truck for three days, and motor failed, sepentine belt came off.   Plaintiffs paid $1150 to get it fixed by someone else.     Plaintiff gets what the other mechanic charged.    Mechanic did what he was paid to do.   

Rerun-

Fresh Start or Fifth DUI-Plaintiff need place to stay so moved in with defendant.    Defendant says arrest was for plaintiff's fifth DUI, and claims she found drug paraphernalia used for crack in the house.  Plaintiff had car impounded for no license, no insurance, and refused to do a blood draw, but did do a breathalyzer.    To get car out of impound plaintiff signed car over to defendant, who got it out of impound.     Defendant paid for impound fees, title and registration fees, and then sold the car a while later.   Plaintiff drove repeatedly without a license, still doesn't have one, and wants her car value back from defendant.  Cases dismissed, and I absolutely believe plaintiff smashed a bunch of windows at the defendant's house.   

Judy Quotes Pacino-Plaintiff suing his daughter's boyfriend for a loan to fix his truck.    Daughter is defendant's witness.   JJ tells daughter that taking sides against her family is a terrible idea.  Defendant never repaid anything, so plaintiff gets $1400.

I first heard about this product from Cops years ago, and later Live PD as drug paraphernalia (which you could call matches, lighters and many other things). Of course for years I thought it was Choir Boy which didn't seem to make much sense. Since this is a brand name, I wonder how the company likes their notoriety thanks to these shows. Maybe some of the suspects could make bail by doing endorsements?

In many states, there is no law against titling, registering, or insuring a car without a license . . . the fun comes when you try to find an insurance company that will insure the car if you (the owner) don't have a license.  It's not impossible, but it's not as easy.

In many states, there is no law against titling, registering, or insuring a car without a license . . . the fun comes when you try to find an insurance company that will insure the car if you (the owner) don't have a license.  It's not impossible, but it's not as easy.

We don't allow the titling and registering here without one.  It's not my personal experience, but I have known people who attempted it.  I know the car insurance company I use won't insure a car in the name of someone who doesn't have a license - too much risk.

3 p.m. reruns (I think from 2016)-

Narcotics, Divorce and Debt-Plaintiff grandmother suing her son's ex-wife for childcare costs for her own grandchildren, and an unpaid loan.   Ex-husband borrowed money from his mother for another family vehicle, while they were married.   Marital debt, I know how this will come out.      During the divorce the $10k shortfall on repossession of minivan they bought, was not listed as a marital debt on the divorce paperwork.   Plaintiff ex-husband pays no child support, and is often unemployed.   JJ gives the Byrd boot to the plaintiff ex-husband, and deadbeat father.  

JJ dismisses loan case, and says plaintiff should get it from her deadbeat son.   Grandmother also wants to be paid for taking care of, and supervising visitation with her own grandchildren, also dismissed.   Case also dismissed.   In hall-terview druggie deadbeat father says his solution will be to sue for full custody.  

Note to future litigants, when JJ asks you when you went to jail, don't ask her which time? If you want any sympathy from JJ or Byrd.   

Break a Leg-Plaintiff suing defendant ex-boyfriend for harassment, unpaid loan.   Loan was for medical costs for defendant's child, $400 and promising repayment within two weeks.   Defendant wanted more money from plaintiff and she said no.  Defendant seems totally out of control, and vague on a lot of dates, and loan details.   $400 to plaintiff. 

Construction Lockout-Plaintiff accusing defendant contractor of damaging his home.  The house was supposed to be made more energy efficient, including blown in insulation, but that left holes in the stucco.   There is no contract, just an invoice.   They drilled holes in the outer stucco, filled in with cellulose insulation, with plugs to block the water infiltration, and stucco patch was up to the home owner.   A couple of places inside the house, wall board blew out from overfilling.    Contractor was locked out by homeowner.  (I used to live where plaintiff came from, and his town is not small, and there are plenty of contractors).   Plaintiff paid nothing, hasn't paid for repairs either.    Plaintiff also did the stucco patches before contractor could come and put wooden plugs in, to make it easier to stucco over.   Plaintiff brought virtually no evidence to court, so no case.   There is a counterclaim for the cost of the job, at the reduced price, and contractor gets $1200 plus.

He also smarted off more times than she normally allows. 

Defendant needed to dial back her glee and grinning.  Surprised JJ didn't call her out on it.

Must've have been a "post sushi" taping.

5 p.m.-

New-

Cute Service Dogs in the House- Plaintiff was homeless, placed in defendant's apartment with her two service dogs.   It was a No Smoking apartment, but plaintiff admits smoking marijuana.   Landlord says plaintiff brought in a third dog too.  Since the smoking prohibition wasn't in the lease, then it doesn't count.    Plaintiff admits adding a third dog, that is not a service dog.   The third dog was the plaintiff's sister's dog, and claims it was only with her in the motel, not the apartment.      The psychologist said plaintiff should have the dog, so then it's not a service dog, but an emotional support dog, is my guess.   Plaintiff was so broke that she needed assistance, but  would stay in a motel for days at a time.    Plaintiff gets her security deposit $650.   Byrd is now supporting the former tenant in a Section 8 2 bedroom townhouse.  

Fight Aftermath-Plaintiff suing ex tenant/ defendant for unpaid rent.    Tenant was inherited by plaintiff.    2 tenants were month-to-month, girlfriend moved out.    $625 was security, and woman received $312 back.     Unfortunately, part of the post-move out clean up is plaintiff and girlfriend charging for their time spent cleaning up, and they can forget that.  Case dismissed.     

Rerun-

Stroke Victim's Frivolous Family Fight-Plaintiff is adult sister suing her defendant brother and daughter for a 26 year old car that belonged to mother who had stroke.      Plaintiff was mother's guardian, and is in assisted living.    Car was defendant's before mother had stroke, or had a guardian.    Defendant acknowledges that he will pay for Aerostar van.   JJ doesn't see car as a gift, so defendant will pay for it.   Plaintiff won't shut up, and keeps refusing to admit the car sale should be split 3 ways, until then it will go into probate when the mother passes on.         Since the van wasn't a gift, or sale, then it goes back to the mother's possession.   Case dismissed. 

Photo Cookie Bust-Plaintiff suing defendant advertising that she would do photo cookies for his work event, but did nothing, partly because she had a cold.   The cookies were for a Christmas party for the business, and would have photos of each person at the party on them.    It was $110 for three dozen cookies.  Also, defendant isn't the producer of the cookies, but buys them from someone else, and advertises them as her product.  

Defendant is whining about plaintiff posting nasty things about her cookies, and service.   Plaintiff proves that the photo on her company web page advertising cookies uses the image from someone else's cookies online, that she took from pinterest.   The plaintiff's witnesses are having hysterics sitting in the witness chair.    Plaintiff gets $110 back.

What an idiotic defendant! He kept saying he was not asking for damages to the unit, just for compensation because tenant did not give enough notice, ignoring the obvious lifeline JJ was throwing him a few times over. It was clear to everyone, except him, that this would be the only thing on which she would rule in his favour, but he rejected it repeatedly.

Fight Aftermath-

I can understand JJ and other judges being wary of litigants asking for compensation for the time they spent cleaning up, because of the possibility that some people would overvalue their work. But couldn't she have estimated an amount that could be considered reasonable value?

I am certain that if JJ was a landlord and she had to clean up a mess left by former tenants, she would find all sorts of reasons she should be compensated for her oh-so valuable time (quantum meruit anyone?). And her hourly rate would not be cheap.

That is entirely hypothetical of course, because in reality she would have one of her little people to do the work.

Her hissy fit in dismissing the claim was unjustified. The plaintiff did not really hide the fact that he and his GF cleaned up and were asking for money for their time; he said "we did it over a few times" when he was submitting the invoices. And he readily clarified things when asked because JJ had missed the previous part. But to the old bat, this obviously was an offence against the sanctity of her exalted person.

Or the hole drilling in the stucco.  JJ really didn't follow that line of thinking.  Surprise!  Because JJ has "issues" in understanding the trades. 

It was kinda legit that the blowout shouldn't have happened. But, the stucco holes WERE necessary to perform the work.

Anyone else find JJ's overpronuciation of a hard "K" in "woRK" annoying?   

The defendant needs to pull his head out and make sure the contract addresses these things.  For instance, a good plumber that cuts a hole in the wall to get to a pipe, will write in the proposal that "tape/bedding/wall repairs" are "by others & not included".

But, both parties were ill prepared dumbasses, so there's that.

Those "service dogs" were pets, period.

These scams remind me of the able-bodied in handicapped parking spaces.

The whole thing is out of control.  Handicap/service dogs. I call BULLSHIT. 

I love my idiot greyhounds, but I will not make anyone else suffer their nonsense.

Chiming in to say that this 50-ish NYC street smart gal never heard of Chore Boy in a drug use context. I only know it as something like Brillo.

Could one of you regular watchers, please send me a PM? I have a question about a recent episode. Thanks!

That's what makes me so furious. People with real disabilities who benefit from having an animal helper worked hard to get certain privileges, and now it's all being de-legitimized by selfish assholes you put froufrou dresses on their untrained "service cocker spaniels" and want to bring them on planes at no extra charge.
