Running Out On A Roof

I got to watch this after the rest of the week being pre-empted by baseball.

This showcases one of the many things I've learned by watching this show: Do not hire some slimy hustler you met at a gas station (or bus station or in line at the grocery store) to do major work on your home.

MONDAY'S EPISODE:

Please be advised that Monday episodes, for some reason, do not seem to follow the previous aired episode and to be the immediate predecessor to the next episode to be shown and/or the Monday listings are not always accurate.

The discussion link:

"Mechanic Mayhem."

Case Titles: 1) Motorcycle Mayhem; 2 Becoming Unhinged; 3 Monkey Business.

 

TUESDAY'S EPISODE:

Tomorrow, baseball will be aired on my Fox People's Court affiliate, so I have no listing available to me and won't be watching. 

For those able to watch, if the episode to be aired is the one two episodes after Friday's aired episode and the one preceding Wednesday's listed episode, then it will be Season 20, Episode 27 from October 11, 2016.

Here is the discussion link:

Hit-and-Run Hysteria

The listing scheduled for Monday was wrong by an episode.  Sorry.

What was actually aired: Season 20, Episode 47 from November 15, 2016. 

The discussion link is:

"TV Installation Anger."

Case titles: Not Bolting It In - Cracking Up (In which the Judge takes a dive! But she's okay.) - Ripping Off A Roomer.

Note, Judge Milan took a tumble when she gets off the bench during case number 2.

Yes, that's the one I got, along with the Scamming Seamtress. I'm so confused. No wonder I didn't watch the 3rd case - there wasn't one. Duh.

The two utter idiots, ex-boyfriend/girlfriend think it's fun to play husband and wife, have a kid, buy a house, but not get married, and expect JM to rule on equitable distribution. Dumbbell def meathead didn't seem to understand that if everything is in his girlfriend's name - he needed to stay under the radar for no particular reason - he gets nothing.  That poor child, with two morons for parents.

Considering that most of them don't understand the meaning of "As is", or think it applies only to others (dependant on "situation", mental state, or their SSMotherhood) I would not count on them grasping "binding arbitration". And don't forget - most of them pooh-pooh the idea of reading anything before they sign it.

I think it may have amused Doug to leave them in the dark and send them stomping/trundling/toddling/raging or waddling down the hall in high dudgeon while wishing them "Good luck with that."

My Monday listings, for some reason, are never accurate to what ends up being shown (usually lists the same episode as Tuesday) and today I have baseball airing anyway, so the following might be totally wrong, but I will post this as a 'maybe' in case this is helpful, assuming today's episode follows Friday's and, more importantly, is the one before tomorrow's listed episode.

I think I got that one. I had a power failure so I only saw part of this. I heard about God cousins/God sisters/brothers. JM was confused and requested clarification from the cartoon Def, which was not forthcoming - I don't think? 

Anyway, I also heard Def chattering about someone putting a hand "Between my privates."

Then my power went off again. I was not perturbed in the least.

Goodness, this show is really feeding my heart the trash tv it wants lately 😆 Aside from the first case today, there was also Tony(?) the pirate a few weeks ago, and a witness who kept making jokes about being naked while helping his friend pack his stuff because his apartment needed to be fumigated for bed bugs(?). This is the mindless entertainment I need more of.
 

Going back to the first case today - if you’re embarrassed about something you did, are going to avoid answering any questions about your lawsuit while yelling at the judge, and think the judge is going to take your word on what is/isn’t relevant to the case, maybe don’t decide to go on a nationally televised court show.  Also, I’m still not sure if the man with the D was her husband or cousin. At different times in the case, I heard both, though trying to get a straight answer out of her was challenging too.

I so enjoyed this repeat. At least Robert had the decency to be ashamed of being willing to pay for a date, and especially THIS "date". Although I'm sure this... young lady has great conversational skills and enormous empathy for unfortunate guys like Robert, who just wants people to see him with this enormously hot chick, and someone to cuddle with him in bed while watching old movies.

Poor girl needs a neck brace and a lesson on applying makeup.

[DoctorK]

I enjoyed today’s cases because I didn’t remember any of them from before.

First case was sort of funny, the plaintiff was slightly nutty but I did get a kick out of the nerdy defendant who decided to wear his best Star Trek uniform shirt for the case.

The second case started out seeming like the poor little girl plaintiff was scammed by the evil male used car salesman. However, as the case progressed, it was clear that the plaintiff was either totally confused about the time line and her actions or lust a flat out liar. Once the judge unraveled the details, the defendant was actually quite reasonable and behaved appropriately and legally. It was a nice reversal.

Third case had a plaintiff (who honestly looked like an arm breaking loan shark straight from Central Casting) suing the defendant for repayment of a loan. Turns out the defendant is a nut case and a liar, caught in blatant perjury in her statement which was clearly contradicted by her own sworn statement. The hallterview confirmed the defendant’s nuttiness and dishonesty.It was fun to watch JM really yell at the defendant.

As long as they keep showing reruns that I don't remember, this show will stay on my viewing list, perhaps for quite a while.

Yet another benevolent, religious "kindness of my heart" tale, until P wants to get paid for the kindness. The teeny little def did pay for all the Verizon bills for the time he was there. He was also a liar who said he never agreed to pay rent, but he did. Subtracting those bills from what P said D owes netted him the sum of $163. He tells Doug in the Hall it was worth it. But yeah, he sounded kinda kooky - meeting some woman who was a judge in the Supreme Court and marrying her after two weeks. Who was the most desperate? This new wife didn't approve of teeny little Def sneaking some woman into his room for some whoopees and ordered her new husband to give him the boot. P admits this marriage may not be all he'd hoped for.

Maybe she thought her outfit and waist-length glued-on braids would make her look like a little girl who was taken advantage of by the D.  D was hard to take, with his hyperactivity, eye-rolling, and belligerence, but he was right. P was just too much of a slack-jaw to do what she was supposed to do OR she found a car that was cheaper so wants her deposit money back. The thing on her tongue was distracting me. Was that a piercing? Ew.

Yes, he did!😄 That defendant was a truly horrific, nasty hag and one of the worst liars we've ever seen here, IIRC. She never borrowed one cent from P - barely even knows him. Okay, well IF she borrowed from him it was only $40.

Her statement to the cops saying "I owed him money..." she protests was a "typo"!? JM screams that it's hand-written! Okay, then - it was a "misprint". She just dictated the letter and had her stupid witness write it. Maybe she's too illiterate to write it herself. P was going to kill the whole family and even shoot 4-year-old "Cherish" in the head, over $1500!  Wow. That's cold. She had all these foul threats on tape but doesn't have them here. What a surprise. P would have to be a total moron to leave threats like that on tape.

That woman had a face just begging for a really hard punch to wipe that outrageous smirk off of it.

I'll say. Yeah, maybe her parents did suggest an abortion, but since THEY are the ones who end up with her carelessly spawned babies, they should have a say in how many more she'll decide to drop.

I can be quite a "Get off my lawn" and soapbox type as well, but, unlike the rest of the world (it seems) I prefer to keep some things private. I felt sorry for the def., having that curmudgeon hounding her about an old shack in the middle of nowhere when she doesn't even own it.

I never saw this and was thoroughly entertained by two of the most unlikeable big-mouthed litigants ever.  They were so obnoxious and could NOT shut up for one second, not even when JM was talking. That prompted her to make a number of snide observations to Douglas as they continued to blab. He was quite amused at these idiots. Like JM, I really can picture these two discussing the car issues, neither of them listening and both screaming at the same time.

I do vaguely recall the woman trying to clean up big $$$ after SHE picked an apartment over a rowdy bar, a bar that was clearly visible to her from the outside and the inside if she cared to look. Her choice didn't end up pleasing her so to weasel her way out of the lease she makes up a bunch of stuff: "Look, Judge, at these GAPING holes in the brick wall." We see a brick wall with zero holes and nary even a crack. The wall was separated from the ceiling, leaving a big gap for the wind to whistle in and mice to enter. We see no gap and no mice.

She wants over 2K for her terrible suffering, and her asthma, and her mouse-o-phobia. So horrified was she by the mice that she never mentioned them to the landlord until a few days before she moved out. No wonder the landlord was so pissed off at her for wasting his time with her outright lying (and her daughter's lying) and money-grubbing.

I may be being unkind but this plaintiff had me laughing out loud. Her picture of the holes in the brick wall not only didn't show holes, it showed repairs (not fresh) so someone is maintaining the exterior. She didn't do any better with the wall to ceiling gap; when JM said that she couldn't see a gap, the plaintiff helpfully added that this was a picture of where she knew the gap was. Funny but also pathetic. The defendant was a bit peevish with the plaintiff, but after this impressive pile of non-evidence from the plaintiff, I understand his annoyance.

A couple of comments on the old RV case airing today.    There is now a 10-year rule now for RVs and trailers, no chain (KOA, etc.) RV park will accept trailers, RVs, etc. over 10 years old.   Their insurance won't cover them any longer, because of fire and other hazards from deteriorating vehicles.     

Also, I can see why AAA charged so much for towing the RV in the case, there are other organizations that cover trailers, RVs, etc. not AAA.  So, the tow price from AAA was high, but that's because they don't cover RVs under AAA policies.

A couple of comments on the old RV case airing today. 

Interesting info!

That case reminded me of one thing about JM that always annoyed me. She has a bad habit of calling adults "kids", which excuses them for their idiotic actions.

RV-"boy" is not 15, but a 28-year-old man who claims to get "moral support" from his 8 and 10-year-old siblings. He may be a total clueless goofball, and maybe leaving Mommy will smarten him up, but who knows?

Not only does JM refer to him as a kid, but says she feels sorry for him. That's the kind of thinking that allows these man-children to flourish as they never would have just a few short generations ago.

After his stepdad gave him the boot, JM, distraught over the terrible luck this grown man had,  wanted to know if his mommy wouldn't lie to her husband and slip the "kid" some money here and there. I assume she's projecting due to her baby girls and how she'll continue to support them until the end of their lives.

He's also a liar, who told JM his sob story about how his wallet got stolen. BUT in the hall, Doug asks exactly what he had in this RV and lost. Well, he had stuff, like electronics and his WALLET. Our man Doug quickly jumps on that, saying he thought Goofy said he had his wallet stolen. Goofy stumbles and mumbles that oh, well - this is another wallet.
