The People's Court - General Discussion

Large time jump to June 14, 2019 for today's rerun episode.  Not much of a discussion on page 135 about this episode though.

Monday, my Fox affiliate has sports scheduled instead of TPC, but new episodes scheduled for the rest of the week!

The repeat was good.  As many times as this site re-do's the front page, have no idea why they don't put this show on the front page.

Indeed. We got more of them in the new ep today!

All I have to say about Def Mr. Martinez and his constant begging for petty amounts of money - 30, 50, 20$ -  from the P and telling P  "Fuck you" when he "harasses" D for the money back is he's a muttering, stupid, lying, amoral, fugly, disgusting, repulsive, giant tub of shit. I'd like to see the woman who hitched her star to this wagon. P gets his 250$ back from the dim-witted ogre.

Doug sticks it to him in the hall (or wherever) with, "Boy, anyone watching this isn't going to loan you any money!" Mr. M mutters incoherently.

Then we had Toni Peditto, who got some super-sized fake lashes for her big TeeVee gig, suing Frank Mazza III who appears to be seated in his ancestral residence and who seemingly had been doused with itching powder before his appearance here. His fireplace mantel held some amateurish cardboard advertising for his flea-market/antique business.

Anyway, Toni and Frank were such good buddies they called each other "business husband/wife". Toni, who wasn't getting a salary, says the two of them worked together for "Tits... and for tats" (i guess he let her peddle HER junk from his location) and is suing for some money she says Frank owes her for something or other. I really don't know.

Toni, a self-described tech genius, supplied some old computer for this business, a computer so special that when Frank asked if he could buy it she told him, "You couldn't afford it".  When she had a hissy fit because everyone was sick of her condescending attitude and bossiness and Frank threw her out, she snatched up her 2005 computer and left. We get a video of her in her "Rock and Roll" jacket doing this and waddling out to her car with the goods.

This is a business that was unable to operate after Toni took off with the one old, loaned computer. According to Frank, she also maliciously disabled their cameras. I believe that.

Frank III has a witness to Toni's nasty behavior, screaming, and foul language in front of customers. He looks like an old lady and then we find out he's Toni's ex. Awkward. JM lets the two of them argue so Toni goes off on a really long, incomprensible rant about something that leaves JM's head spinning and I've had enough of all them, entertaining though they were.

No dead animals, no funeral parlor tooth-and-nail battles, and no unfortunate babies. A good day, IMO.

Two motor-mouthed plaintiffs and two defendants who don't bother to read what they sign sums it up. 

In the first case do not drink every time you hear the words, "reached out".  I tried and passed out before the case ended.

In the second case, def and his absent wife are skeevy liars. Their 4-year-old was sadistically knocked down by an employee of the daycare, who then let all the other kids jump on and trample him. Miraculously, the child suffered not even a bruise from this horrifically cruel incident and the parents never took him to a hospital or called authorities. I guess they let him walk it off.

Definitely. The child is making up stories for a reason. Mom and dad sound like real winners but the child’s behavior needs to be addressed. 

It won’t of course but that child is going to keep piling on the lies. 

And that child screaming in the  background got on my last nerve.

Maybe he said he fell, and the not-bright hustlers who spawned him thought they found a good reason to stiff the P, break their contract and get cheaper daycare elsewhere so started leading him on: "Did the mean teacher knock you down? Did it hurt a lot? Did the other kids TRAMPLE YOU?" and so on.

Kids like attention so he kept answering "YES!" even though a 4-year-old wouldn't know what "trample"means. They could have asked, "Did they put you on a rack and stretch you/hang you in the closet?" and he would have answered yes to that too.

I have a slightly different take on this.  I think the child did tell his parents that the teacher knocked him over and had the other kids jump on him.  Either totally made up or an exaggeration of what happened.  Probably tripped and the kids behind him, holding hands, tumbled into him.  The child wanted to get the teacher in trouble, just like telling on a sibling.  The parents should have realized from the outset that their child was lying, since no adult, especially a professional caregiver, would do something like that even if they were abusive in other ways.  The father came in hot accusing the teacher and realized from the kid giggling and hiding behind him that he was lying.  Soon thereafter, the parents got another child care option that was cheaper or maybe even free through the Y.  The wife, who should have been in court, writes an email taking the child out of the daycare and says how the daycare was wonderful.  Having never read the handbook or paid attention when they enrolled the child, the wife was surprised to find out they were being charged, even though they had taken the child out and not used the service.  She then threatened to make a complaint based on the abuse claim if the daycare pursued the charge.  This is blackmail and doing it in writing is stupid.  The daycare ignored her threat and brought this suit.  The father comes into court using the abuse claim as the reason they removed the child and, therefore, they should not be charged.  The glowing email, never reporting the abuse, the blackmail threat in writing, the illogic of the abuse claim, all served to undermine his defense, so he lost; deservedly so.

First case was just okay. I like contract cases but got impatient with the histrionic P who kept talking over JM and the muttering, inarticulate not-so-friendly giant, but - the second case was gold.

We got a kink-porn menage a trois with the ghastly "Bethen", the douchey, elfin-eared Mr. Taylor and the unfortunately unseen Tiffany, the 3rd in Mr. Taylor's harem of two. I can use my imagination.

The three of them are gettin' it on (I tried to ignore the nasty, lurid Orc-ish images this was putting in my mind) when Mr. Taylor gets a job offer he can't refuse. Well, the new job is in Maine where it snows so Mr. Taylor, sex god to desperate heffalumps, declares he needs a vehicle for wintry conditions as his chick-magnet Camaro won't cut it.

He decides a Jeep is what he needs, and not just any old Jeep to get him and his ladies around, but a brand-new 50K Jeep. He has almost no money and no credit, so Bethen, who believes in magic and thinks the three of them will be 'together forever' just happens to have a zero balance CC so gives Lothario 3K for part of the down payment. She co-signs for the loan, with payments of 845$/month. How much do Walmart managers earn, anyway?

After all, Mr. Taylor with his upper management job at Walmart needs a vehicle commensurate with his new exalted position in life. But then tragedy strikes and Mr. Taylor decides Tiffany is his one true love and Bethen is left in Jeep dust as he takes off to a new, snowy life with his future bride. She wants her 3K down payment back.

I guess Walmart doesn't pay a king's ransom in salary, so Mr. Taylor starts paying late or not paying and the long-suffering, kicked-to-the curb Bethen starts getting notices to pay up as she agreed to do on the contract she signed.

I don't know how old Bethen is, but she surely looks well past the age where she thinks car payments can last for "20 or 30 years". Uh, that's a house, Bethen. Turns out Taylor took a 5-year loan, which I suspect Bethen will be paying as her credit falls deeping into the gutter.

JM delving into this grotesque arrangement while dripping scathing sarcasm and disgust at all the WTF-edness and stupidity was more than worth the price of admission. It was so good I had to pause and get some snacks before I continued.

Bethen, who wrote in her complaint that fronting the money and co-signing for the highly-desirable Mr. Taylor is "just something a girlfriend does for a boyfriend" cooked her goose. She informed the world of her sick-making sex stuff for zero dollars. Better get a second job, Bethen!

I hated the way Mr. Ugly Big Shot in a Jeep smirked throughout the second case. While the defendent in the first case was a good looking guy who just didn't want to give the deposit back.

Why shouldn't he smirk? He gets all these hot chicks to not only grunt-and-wallow in his bed with him - both at the same time -  but pay for the kind of extravagant transportation he decided he deserves.😆

Mr. Taylor, please come and work here! We have a Walmart (probably desperate for someone of your caliber) and with my "exhuberant amounts of credit"  I'll co-sign for an even better Jeep for you, or maybe even a Range Rover!

I’ve had nothing but jeep wranglers since moving to Massachusetts.  I have a job that pays for my education and experience but there’s no way in hell I’d be able to pay 50 grand for a new jeep.  Apparently Romeo has other ideas.

I have no idea. I did have a client years ago who gave up his job at Dollar General to pursue a management position at Walmart.  He wasn’t sure they’d promote him because he kept getting the Walmart Morning Cheer words wrong and the higher ups looked for that.

Mr. Hot Stuff is hoping she’ll just go away.  Nope.  Not this one.  She wants her money even if that means going in front of people discussing how the three of them initially hooked up at JM’s request.  Kind of a low rent question  It’s not sweeps week.

I’m starting to think I’m never getting this show back ☹️ After being pre-empted for 7/8 weeks with the World Cup and college sports, I’m back this week with boring pre-pandemic cases. Monday was a couple who was married for 15 or so years, got divorced but continued to live together for another 15 or so years, and now the woman is engaged to her 8th grade boyfriend 🤦‍♀️ And today I got a woman who had a glass shower door that shattered and she couldn’t understand why JM wasn’t buying her ‘poor helpless woman’ schtick. 
 

Anyway, hope you’re all having a good start to 2023 and hopefully I’ll be back in here soon!

Romeo can't pay for it either. You know how our litigants are always buying stuff but for them that has nothing to do with paying for it.

If you want a 50K Jeep,  hook some unfortunate-looking dimbo into a 3-way after you ascertain he has a zero-balance credit card. Make sure you keep receipts, dates, payments, etc so you can explain it all to JM when the spurned dimbo wants his money back.

OR you can take out 20-year note on the new wheels.

[Paperclips]

Is it me or are they repeating the JM and Husband questions between cases?  I watch this show too much.

[AngelaHunter]

Another day, another hard-up woman. This P, a paralegal who looks oddly masculine is suing her former lover-boy, who looks oddly feminine, for money she loaned him.

I get her attraction to him. He's a homely 50-year-old, roly-poly car salesman ( I bet he peddles pre-hated lemons) with a perma-grin who, at his age, doesn't have enough credit to buy himself a bed or pay his co-op fees. *swoon*

OH, he had the money to buy his own bed, but P insisted on putting it on her CC. JM wants to know why, if he had all the money - cash of course - he didn't repay her instantly? Perma-grin is the answer.

P had him sign a very specific contract with terms on the loan which he never repaid but lied about it here, insisting he paid her a little bit here and there. The texts say otherwise. He's too old for all this drama, he informs JM, yet he'd rather make a fool of himself here than pay what he owes.

The worst part is that it seems P thought her man might be fooling around on her with some woman he got hired at his work. At one time I would have laughed at that notion but not anymore. He has a pulse, therefore can attract scores of desperate women on dating sites who will be happy to pay his bills. 

They broke up on Valentine's day. So not-romantic. P gets her money back.

Then we had Trash Mommies (SSMs, I assume) who unfortunately raised thieves and liars for daughters. Not blaming the 11-year-old who stole P mommy's rent money (cash, of course, kept in a drawer) so she, her sister, and their friend, D's daughter, could go on a spending spree at Walmart. P wants D's mommy to pay back her share of the money although D insists she got nothing during the shopping spree.

The mommies, both looking like rough, over-aged hookers with their caked-on makeup, microbladed brows, hair extensions and low-cut tops should worry less about their appearances and more about their daughters. P's daughters (P daughter was coached by momma but fell apart during JM's questioning of her) fight like wild animals in the street, and D's daughter at her young age (15?) is already morbidly obese. I think she too may have bred, but I cut out at the mention of a baby.

Apparently, D mommy told P mommy that if she wants money she should "go suck dick on a street corner". Disgraceful. Poor girls, with these as role models.

This doughy lump with the perpetual smirk has got to be a hot ticket amongst those women wanting to celebrate Valentines Day as opposed to Galentines Day.  Doug slammed him for smiling during court proceedings not once but twice.  The second time he figuratively backed doughboy in the corner about it and all he could muster was “When I’m nervous I smile a lot”  Weak answer from a weak person.  

It’s as if Doug knows what chaps our collective asses and he’s going to “represent” us in the booth.  Go Doug.

I can’t even with this one. You covered it splendidly.  I really feel this isn’t going to be the end of this.  The way that “enormously healthy” 15 year old mommy plowed into the plaintiffs daughter (who appeared about 90 pounds soaking wet) I was fearing something serious would happen to her spine. Couple that with Defendants swinging pendulum breasts bouncing towards the plaintiffs daughter after the fight started and that girl didn’t stand a chance. 

In all this I suppose the ones to feel most sorry for are the neighbors who watch all this commotion during the day.   Sadly, none of those spectators seemed phased about the violence occurring on their street.  Lord Have Mercy. 

I didn’t catch Doug’s interview with them. Was it interesting?

See some previous post I made, recommending the book "Why Do I Think I'm Nothing Without a Man." That the "man" (using the word loosely) may be a revolting, broke-ass loser/leech seems not to matter not if you can proudly refer to "My boyfriend" or "My sic-nificant other".

[AngelaHunter]

Saw the word "puppy", hit FF with all haste.

Then we have P suing the pompous, pen-waving D, Ms. Sheila (pen-waving on this show always seems to signify that the wavers are pompous dick heads and Ms. Sheila is no exception) who is so above all this petty stuff she can't even remember most of the incident.

I know exacly what happened because I've seen it dozens of times while driving in winter: Ms. Sheila was driving her daughter to some sporting practice in her (her words) "big, fancy car". This fancy car was covered with snow which Ms. Sheila says she removed because that's the LAW and she is totally law-abiding, like all our litigants. What she didn't say is that the roof of this Cadillac Escalade is pretty high and I just know she didn't bother climbing up to clear it.

She's tooling along at 65mph and a big sheet of ice or snow flies off the roof of her big fancy car and smashed the windshield of P who was behind her. She does stop, but has no time to give paltry info to P so merely hands her a business card and says she told P to take a pic of her license plate and they can figure it out later. Of course, she ends up denying everything. Maybe someone else is to blame.

P said D's insurance started fighting with her insurance and she couldn't get the windshield fixed right away because it's a heated one, so she ended up staying in CT with her FIVE kids missing school for nearly a month and wants not only the repairs for her car but hotel and car rental costs. She says she couldn't find a rental car with enough seatbelts for her brood and all that.

As much as I was annoyed at P's horrible grammar and striving to get to the 5K court maximum, I detested the snotty Def, just the way I detest drivers in front of me who are too bone-lazy to clean their cars off. After all, the flying ice/snow isn't going to hurt THEM. Bitch. I'm not sure JM really understood what a hazard this is, but I did agree P could have found some way to get from CT to NC in a more timely manner, so P is awarded over 2K. I really think I would have given her the 5K, deserved or not, just because of the D's shitty "Oh, I don't remember any of this minor stuff!" attitude.

JM, drive on the highway, see this ahead of you and tell me it wouldn't:

 - fill you with helpless terror

- make you homicidal.

 

[Guest]

Oh yeah. 

I too skipped the first case. Dead puppies aren’t my thing.

Second case.  I really have nothing much to add because AngelaHunter wrote a splendid recap. I completely agree about defendant. What a snotty old cow.  And honey, if you’re reading this (and I think you are because you’re really important) nix the stringy bangs. Truth alert:  don’t know who told you you’ll  look years younger if you  cover up half your face but they were putting you on. All it does is emphasize your badly dyed thinning hair and prune face. 

And Plaintiff, how frickin’ tall are you?  The television on your wall had to be touching the ceiling.  You also had crap hanging off hooks on your wall that were as high as the ceiling. 

And keeping your kids out of school for a month?  Where are the authorities?  Where’s your brain lady?  And everyone just wonders why kids in school can barely read or write.   Idiotic morons.

I am familiar with the I-95 stretch In Connecticut. I would drive it frequently going to Delaware from Massachusetts. It’s a nightmare. Potholes the size of cheetahs, drivers texting and construction. This couldn’t be the defendants first rodeo with car accidents. 

And while I’m at it living in this grand state of Massachusetts I can attest to the lazy slobs who refuse to clean windshields or car roofs  At least once a winter season you’ll hear if someone being severely injured because a block of ice has flown through the windshield.  They don’t call them Massholes for nothing.  Well at least I don’t.  I have good reason.

That’s all I got for now.   Have great weekends everyone.

[Maverick]

 I wanted to ask the defendant if she had such a fancy car that attracted Interstate grifters (a Cadillac Escalade), why couldn't she afford a garage to keep it in so there wouldn't be a mile high pile of snow to clean off.

Boom goes the dynamite.

However, Ms. FancyPants would probably tell you that she has several garages but Jeeves was lax on his duties and did not put the large, expensive car in the garage that night.  He was tending to her polo ponies at her stables while she was dancing at the Country Club with her husband Kip.

 I wanted to ask the defendant if she had such a fancy car that attracted Interstate grifters (a Cadillac Escalade), why couldn't she afford a garage to keep it in so there wouldn't be a mile high pile of snow to clean off.

I thought about that for only a second before realizing it has to be the same reason as most people in my area have 50 - 100K worth of vehicles in their driveways to get splattered with bird droppings, covered in 2 feet of snow, coated with ice and/or pelted with hail: It's because her garage is packed to the rafters with useless junk although maybe it's upscale, fancy junk. Although I'm used to this nuttiness it still baffles me. My car - not a "big fancy" Escalade either but a humble 9-year-old Toyota , lives in my garage.

Or that. 😄

This snark is so primo I may need to get a snack before I read it again.

But remember - it wasn't just an ordinary mug. It's the fancy kind that has the heating thingy.

I hope the online jewelry seller has learned that "Nice guys finish last" with the little viper who caused her to lose 900$ and still had the gall to gripe to Doug that she feels the P is a scammer. The P posted 14 pics of the item Def was bidding on, with a ruler and on her hands and on her neck to show exactly the size of the necklace, yet D feels the P somehow misrepresented the size(??) and got the CC charge reversed, even though the auction states clearly "As Is. No returns and no refunds".

We got the whole story from the P, but Def - wearing a head scarf nearly covering her eyes - had a very rehearsed tale looping through her brain and nothing was going to throw her off. After listening to P, JM turns to Def and asks what was misrepresented and what did P do wrong? Def starts her memorized speech with, "So, what happened was I bought a necklace online and-" JM cuts her off because, yeah, yeah - we already know all that and are past it. In a ruling that really upset JM to have to make, she had to deny the P's claim since it was actually the careless, negligent post office crew who are too lazy to do their jobs that screwed up when Def mailed the piece back to P. What does the post office care?

I liked Mr. Robbins, who talks over JM constantly,  and who took his 11-year-old computer to get fixed and was willing to pay 500$ for that. Heh. The thing apparently wasn't fixed and they go back and forth and blah blah, with the def. Mr. Abedabbo (?)needing to call the police when it seems Mr. Robbins went ballistic at his shop. Poor cops, being summoned constantly for this stupid, dumb shit from mature adults who can't control themselves even for minor business transactions.

Anyway, Mr. Robbins paid only 214$, but he's here looking for a big windfall of 3,000$ - his 214$, plus 1900$ for a brand new laptop for which he feels the Def should pay😆 and the rest because he was aggravated, all adding up to exactly the 3K maximum in his area. Def. is countersuing for the same amount.

We know how well this skeevy money-grubbing goes over with JM. Neither of them get anything. Bug off.

This could not have been defendant’s first scam.  She was too prepared, too rehearsed and too made up for this to have happened just once.

I think that beautiful piece was never sent back.  Who knows what was in hat box?  It wasn’t insured. The evil bitch lucked out with the incompetent (surprise) postal service (lol) not securing the package that she didn’t have to address that.

I still think, in spite of JM wringing her hands over the injustices of this case, she could have offered the plaintiff a grand for her troubles. 

The plaintiff was classy. The defendant is a pig who looks like she has body odor.  We all know who the real scammer is.

These two made my head hurt. Scammers wanting a payday for nothing.  This seems to be the most sought after occupation. Right after Influencer and Rap artist….Scammer. 

[Maverick]

 Defendants like the necklace scammer are why I'd never sell online.   There are so many unscrupulous people you literally lie, cheat and steal in online transactions.  The rules with the auction sites, CC company or online payment sites are so slanted to the buyers that the sellers don't have a chance.  As we saw here, even though the seller was very clear "all sales final" and CC company still sided with her.   I doubt they put much effort into investigating the claim and it was just easier to reverse the transaction.

As for today? Do not drink every time you hear "Wilwood", or even "Wilewood" as P erroneously insisted on pronouncing it. Trust me  - just don't. I did learn a new expression you may use to relate your pleasure in the results of a job someone completed for you: "You just gave me a mule kick in my nuts".  I can't wait to use it.

Anyway, I forgot something. The "Wilwood" case was so boring I actually looked at the backgrounds. Remember the litigant who made and sold wooden gun cases that looked like American flags? The def. had one of them hanging on his wall. Pretty cool.

As a child our next door neighbors vacationed in Wilewood NJ every summer.   And that’s exactly how they pronounced it.  I must admit, if I’m tired I slip into my Philadelphia accent and have been known to say Wilewood or even wooder (water). 

And mule kick in the nuts.  Poetry.  Pure poetry.  I too will seek an opportunity to use those golden words.  

Maybe tomorrow at work I can steer the conversation to childhood memories and ever so delicately say “The wooder at our trailer in Wilewood was so foul it was akin to a mule kick in the nuts.”

Ooh - we stayed in Ocean City which is between Wilewood and Lantic City. Other than my eating a bad clam and getting food poisoning we had a great time in all three places!

JM lost it today when faced with four of the dimmest, dumbest, thickest, and dopiest litigants ever seen in one day.

In the scooter case, dopey, muttering P rents his garage to dopey, dumbbell Def for the latter to put his scooter when he's not using it delivering pizzas or some sort of food. Payment is 100$/month, but Def doesn't always pay in full, so P offers to buy the scooter for 600$ when it's worth 850$ with the extra 150$ to cover the rent not paid.

Is it a good idea to get drunk when you have high blood pressure? Is it an even better idea to buy a vee-hickle when you never think about even turning it on or test-driving it because you're too drunk and the veehickle is "too far" when it's in YOUR OWN GARAGE?

JM: "You weren't drunk the day you decided you wanted to buy it so why didn't you at least start it up then"? Well, she was assuming he wasn't drunk that day.

P (muttering) "I dunno. I trusted him."

Anyway, P says the scooter never worked and wants his money back or money to fix it. I think?

P gets his large, manly wife who was having spasms on the sidelines up to explain shit, but she does no better. No one has one single shred of proof of anything -no receipts, no bill of sale, no texxes - they all deleted all those and they were all too lazy/stupid to get any proof.

JM says the scooter was 4 months old and must have a manufacturer's warranty? Def says probably but he has no idea where it might be, saying it's written on the scooter. He never ever keeps receipts or warranties. P's wife can't help because, believe it or not:

JM: "Do you know what a warranty IS?"

I'm pretty sure JM thought that was a rhetorical question, but:

P Wife: "No".

Wife just bought a bike from the same shop. She says the woman shop owner is mean, won't give any paperwork and deals in cash (no tax I assume) which was fine with all these litigants until now, when they all act like victims of this diabolical person.

P wants over 1400$ for repairs, I think. JM asks if he has the estimate? No. He never took it anywhere for an estimate so who knows what's wrong with it. He wants money. I honestly think he was half in the bag here. Watch that BP!

This was all kinds of funny until we heard that idiot, douchebag-haired, melon-headed def has kids. Omg. No one gets anything.

Next, super dumb renters vs super dumb landlord, Mr. Nunez.

The Ps think they can tell the landlord they're leaving three or so days before doing so, and want their security back.

Def Mr. Nunez has a lease he downloaded but never bothered to fill in pertinent information on it. I doubt he ever even read or understood it. Ps declare they dealt with Mr. Nunez's brother Jose. They say they told him back in July they might be leaving sometime in October and he said "Fine". They didn't leave until nearly the end of November.

JM wants to talk to Jose and asks Def if he's there. His reply has nothing to do with her question and she gives up on this pack of morons. She lets Mr. Nunez keep 1K of the 1500$ he kept to pay for Dec and Jan rent and orders 500$ given to Ps. Or something like that. By the end of all this I was just a muddled as all these litigants.

These are my favorite types of cases, if only because I spend the entire time watching litigants to see what they think is so special about them that they can come to court with nothing and somehow charm JM into ruling in their favor. It never makes sense and the puppy eyes they throw at her are more sad/pathetic than cute, yet they’re befuddled after when things don’t go their way. 
 

The apartment case was just weird all around, but they were shitty tenants no matter how you look at things. They weren’t young kids either. Not that being young would excuse it, but it’s easier to believe someone in their first apartment might not understand how a lease works vs these morons.

That's nothing! I just watched a Hot Bench with a neural psychologist who has tantrums and the impulse-control of an angry toddler and who vandalizes the neighbour's property because the dead potted plants send her into an uncontrollable rage. I hope none of her patients annoy her.

Not only that but she was so stressed with the harassment over these dead plants she had to take meds and a break from her job and wants 3K compensation. Judge DiM found this just as astonishing as did I.

More adventures into the romantic world of the FB Meat Market! They were just casual and hard-core 'hanging out' whatever that means. The only thing unusual is that Def showed a rare restraint and waited a couple of months before hitting up his new ladylove for money.

Def always wanted to go to Costa Rica. P decided not to go because she didn't want to be sex trafficked, since Def wanted to drive all over the place and into the jungle. Not sure if P is the type targeted by sex traffickers, but I really don't know. I got a little distracted trying to read the words tatted on her chest. I failed.

So P starts forking over money to Def. HIs phone died in Costa Rica and he, a man old enough to have two adult sons, can't have a credit card for some reason and he didn't know his debit card wasn't good enough. This was his first international trip.  So P pays the airfare for him and his sons to come back and for him to rent a car to drive from Carolina(?) to his home in AK. He returns the car "only " an hour late, so P's CC is charged for another whole day. He doesn't understand that either and hasn't paid her one cent back. What a surprise.

He doesn't have the texts where she is asking for the money back and he agrees to pay it. That blown-up phone, remember? The texts are on his son's phone but well - neither he nor his phone are available here. He says he's pretty sure P told him to forget about what he owes her.

P has the texts and they are as she says. They break up pretty soon after all this P-subsidized travel kerfuffle. But P doesn't break up with him over the money, no sir.

It seems Def is some sort of satyr (I was wondering when hypersexuality would come into this) and P didn't care who else he was screwing as long as he told her about it, but when it came down to him screwing some other female AND her on the same day  - ewww - without informing P, well - that was it. She had it.

JM brings up the subject of STDs, wondering if P thought boinking another woman on a different day than P would negate that risk? P doesn't seem to know or care about STDs, even though she seems fairly well educated and has her own business. Ah, when it comes affairs of the heart we're all fools. Not.

P gets back the money she loaned Don Juan. JM tells her she deserves better, but who wants to bet she's right back on FB looking for another stud?

Then we had very irritating P, suing D for 9K for loss of habitability on the home she was renting. First the heater malfunctioned, blasting hot air in summer and because she says the heating person told her this unit was a fire hazard and turned it off, she got no heat in Oct when she was very cold. I guess in CA the mid-forties is seen as very cold. That got fixed.

Her bedroom ceiling was falling down  - the plaster was cracking -  so she had to sleep in her guest bedroom until it was fixed. According to D it was difficult to schedule visits for repairs because P insisted on being there due to her dogs. There were rats and apparently 34 other complaints about conditions in this slum. She was month-to-month but none of these horrors inspired her to find another place to live in nearly two years.

She thinks she should pay zero rent when she was bunking in the guest bedroom. I'm sure that was mildly inconvenient, (I've slept in my guest bedroom and it wasn't so bad, really) but hardly rendered the entire home unliveable.

She had a boyfriend living there, but he left. "I can see why", def snarks earning him a minor smackdown from JM. She doesn't understand why the property owner hasn't given P a 60-day notice to move out since she is so contentious.

Anyway, JM adds up what she thinks all these problems are worth and comes to something like 1500$ and NOT the CA maximum of 9K. JM does admit that things are different in CA. I'll say.

 

[AngelaHunter]

Wow. We had Lord Varys suing the zonked-out Bilbo Baggins for rent, damage and for storing Bilbo's junk when Bilbo moved out to be with his lucky girlfriend.

LV had a room in his home in AR (sorry I just learned the correct abbreviation for Arkansas!) and wanted a roomie so posted on the famed CL to find one. For some reason he thought Bilbo was a great candidate so let him move in for $300/mth rent and he was to do the yardwork which was cutting the grass and weeding.

Bilbo's mom died so he became a substance abuser with alcohol and Xanax. With that combination of depressants he must have been nearly comatose so I get why he remembers nothing. He gets "3 or 4" DUIs but spends only a day in jail, he says, and it seems the cops there let drunk drivers just leave in their cars until their court cases. Of course, I would not take anything the drunken, drugged Bilbo said seriously.

He moves not only his junk, but all his mom's stuff into P's house where it still remains. Well, not really. P is keeping Mom's sofa and loveseat. He texted D while he was in jail, offering to keep the furniture in exhange for rent owed. However Bilbo informed him he had "lots of bids" for the stuff so wanted to hold out for the highest bid even though he affirms here that Mom's stuff had great sentimental value to him. The pics of the inside of LV's house show an utter mess with piles of crap everywhere.

He owes months of rent and JM wants to know why, in at least 4 months, he never went and got any of his crap from P's house? Well, he had no way of getting there (P says he showed up with a U-Haul which D denies) plus P told him he didn't want to see him anymore but allowed him to pick up his tools.

P is suing for a hole in the wall, carpets destroyed, lawn care, junk clearance, etc. It was a "No Evidence Needed Day and he has absolutely zero proof  - not a single bill or estimate but JM awards him money for most this anyway, although not the 150$ in gas or work missed to go to court because he didn't know he could sue the Def in his (P's) jurisdiction. JM seems puzzled at the way the law works in AR.

Then we had the mom, waving her plum-coloured, thick glued on talons, who hired Def for a party for her daughter, "Oreo"(?) Mom gave a 200$ deposit to Def for a bouncy house and some LOL dolls. Her hoopty broke down a few days before the party so she wants her deposit back. I don't think so, Mom. That's a YOU problem. P starts defaming D on FB, and he blocks her. Both of them talk over JM and neither gets anything. JM kindly informs businessman Def that he might want to Google to find out how to make a contract in the future since of course, there is zero in writing.

First case made me think of this:

 

[CrazyInAlabama]

Is it now a thing to take your 8th grade graduate, and her friend to Cancun?   This is ridiculous to me.

I wonder if they had a hotel party too? JM was amazed at a 14-year-old who looked 22 or so.

Maybe I'm just getting too mean, but I could not stand P granny with her big grin and her hip-length gray hair. Let her get the money from her slack-jawed daughter and daughter's slack-jawed hubby, neither of whom even had the sense to apply for a passport in time or get travel insurance. Yes, yes - it's a tragedy P's granddaughter didn't get to go the all-inclusive resort as a reward for passing 8th grade, but everyone will have to soldier on.

The passport came two days after Def left for the trip. She told granny to put the girl on the plane and she would go pick her up at the airport, but P said no to that. I guess the parents feared something terrible would befall the girl while she sat on a plane for a few hours.

I thought about what wondrous gift I got for passing 8th but didn't have to wonder very long, as it was the same thing I got for passing every other grade - nothing. 😏 My father used to say, "Don't expect anything and you'll never be disappointed". Maybe I'm just envious of kids now getting extravagant gifts, 1K dresses for high school dances, and hotel parties for the amazing feat of turning 16 or passing 6th grade.

Of course we had to hear AGAIN about the anguish and torment of JM's wonderful perfect daughters who missed their proms.

JM refunds granny for the room, some 650$, but not for the airfare she was claiming when she knew in advance she wasn't getting that back, but got a voucher for it.

Was Judge John throwning shade when he said that if anyone in JM's family was in the hospital for even a hangnail, the family would arrive en masse for a candlelight vigil?

2nd case is another in the "How did he survive this long?" series. P, a double-talking, lying lowlife Yogi in ironic glasses suing his former, very elderly landlord to get his sec. deposit back.

Def. moves this total stranger into his home in NY, then immediately heads for Florida for the winter. Like, really? He's countersuing for another 6 month's rent as per the lease and electric, water and internet bills. Despite his many decades on earth it never occured to him that this stranger in his home could have brought a truck and cleaned the place out, sold it, rented out every square inch to a bunch of ne'er-do-wells who would trash the house, used it to deal drugs or burned the place down?🤯 I think he was very, very lucky.

JM asks P to show her canceled cheques to prove he paid his Dec rent. Well, he could if she wouldn't mind holding on until he goes to his bank and gets a copy? He doesn't do online banking because of some fabricated scam or fraudulent activity in his account. Yeah, right. He's just a poor victim.  She wants proof he paid any of the bills? He doesn't have that in front of him at the moment.

Douglas smirks and shakes his head in disbelief at all the BS flying around.

P also has no proof he ever told Def when he was leaving and Def claims he never told him. P ignored about 40 emails from D, begging him for a reply. More babbling and talking over JM ensues.

P refused to talk to Doug but Def agrees that he - seemingly in his mid-80's - may have learned something here. He implies that he found out after the fact that P was somewhat unsavory and that he should not to let strangers move into his home without doing the most cursory background check. Maybe he's still using 1950s mentality here, when no one even locked their doors.

Zero for both of them.

Judge John throwing shade? I hope so. I don't know how he lives with JM's ego. Hopefully the family and his daughters aren't as bad.

I thought about what wondrous gift I got for passing 8th but didn't have to wonder very long, as it was the same thing I got for passing every other grade - nothing. 😏 My father used to say, "Don't expect anything and you'll never be disappointed.”

Where would we be without Dad Wisdom?

Maybe I'm just envious of kids now getting extravagant gifts, 1K dresses for high school dances, and hotel parties for the amazing feat of turning 16 or passing 6th grade.

I remember exactly what I got when I graduated from 8th grade.  A new doorbell.  As my dad was installing the new bell I was telling my mom what some in my class were getting as gifts. My dad (a real panic) said they were getting things that could be lost or stolen. My gift was secure…the new doorbell.  It wasn’t going anywhere  

In other words I got bupkis and the subject was closed.

Of course we had to hear AGAIN about the anguish and torment of JM's wonderful perfect daughters who missed their proms.

Spoiled brats. Even a doorbell is too good for them.  Wonder how they would have turned out if my father raised them?

JM refunds granny for the room, some 650$, but not for the airfare she was claiming when she knew in advance she wasn't getting that back, but got a voucher for it.

I got tired of granny. She should have spent the money for a spa day at Macys.

Was Judge John throwning shade when he said that if anyone in JM's family was in the hospital for even a hangnail, the family would arrive en masse for a candlelight vigil?

Still don’t know how he does it.  Judge John is so henpecked his wife carries his testicles in her Gucci bag. 

Got my own version of DadWisdom right there.

2nd case is another in the "How did he survive this long?"

My neighbor came over to ask me if there was a car parked in her driveway yesterday afternoon.   I couldn’t remember for the life of me if there was but I’m glad I didn’t say yes. 

She told me she thinks her husband has a “friend” and she thinks she came over yesterday. 

I didn’t catch case two but something tells me my front door situation was much more interesting.

Stop. I nearly choked on my Grand Marnier. Yeah, I know, but leave it alone. It's one of the few pleasures I have left.

He's caught on that he can misbehave while on camera and JM can't rip him a new one there. Maybe it's worth to him even though he probably heard about it later.

Oh, you better stay out of that. I can just picture this woman telling her husband, "Well, PsychoKlown TOLD me she saw a woman here yesterday!" Before you know it you'll have flat tires, a flaming doormat, and maybe a rock through your window.

He's got FOUR strident women there. I have a feeling he spends a lot of time in the garage futzing with his cars.

Aha. I'm two steps ahead of her.   I reminded her that I don't see anything that goes on in front of the house because our family room is in the back.  And I see nothing in the back because it's all woods.

I have to deal with sour interpersonal relationships for work.  I deal with sour interpersonal relationships on my court tv shows. 

No way I'm going to have a sour interpersonal relationship with one/both of my neighbors.  Nope.  Not gonna do it.  He can dance on the front yard with his "friend" buck naked and this gal sees nuttin' and says nuttin'.

I could suggest though that if she has a beef with her husband and his "friend" she could take it to THE PEOPLE'S COURT.

Grand Marnier?  Celebrating something good?  I'm drinking 7 Deadly Zins  (Zinfandel).  Cheap wine but it gets the job done.
