Something tells me that this top-secret government job requires rubber gloves, steel-toed boots and the ability to throw dried-up Christmas trees onto a truck once a year.

I'm very glad I wasn't eating or drinking anything (a rare occurance for me) when I read that. Bwahaha!

I take it back, Doug is fun. He is snarky and calls it like it is. MUCH more entertaining than Kurt!

It may just be me, but it seemed like JM was yelling throughout today's episode.  No conversational tone, just yelling at the litigants.

In the case of the tablet/computer rip-off, I think she had to yell because the obstinate, hard-headed def. was, in addition to being annoying, also deaf. Plaintiff is a pastor, and I admit I know nothing about religious vocations, but I would think a person would need some kind of education, at least enough to not say things like, "Where we was at." I may be wrong about that.  

In the first case, where two middle-aged people played house "off and on" for years and now plaintiff wants back the 500$ she doled out in dribs and drabs to the muttering, dopey, wide-eyed, "stoner" goofball def. , I think I might have been yelling too. Plaintiff was lucky she had that text or she wouldn't have recovered a cent. Def. told plaintiff he was going to the store for milk, and just never came back. Sounds like a bad movie!

And rereading your original note on this, you said, ". . . and I admit I know nothing about religious vocations . . ."  Mainstream denominations require a course of study; many have their own theological seminaries whose purpose it is to train pastors for their denominations.  The unfortunate fact is that anyone on earth can open their own "independent" church.  They apply for a tax-exempt status and start preaching.  These are the ones where most scandal occurs - including financial, sexual, and emotional abuse.  Yes, those things also happen in mainstream denominations, but the percentages are quite low compared to what happens in the independent churches.

Ah, just like any dog can be registered a service dog... "just send us you PayPal account and your little yapper can get a vest and ID card - no special training required."

Back when I first heard this, I threatened to get Silly Cat his official service dog certificate, I mean he walks on his lease, at least as well as some dogs, comes when called, or when he hears a can being opened, I figure he'd be a great service ? 

Yes, I did do a recap today... but as with someone else's comment over in JJ forum, my post is floating around in limbo... it's ok, though, as I didn't enjoy today's cases all that much.

She did sound very screechy today.

 

i can't imagine telling someone I'm running for milk and then never returning.  

 

In the car case did the plaintiff get his money?

[EtheltoTillie]

I'd been wondering why my DVR wasn't picking up new episodes when I discovered by chance today (in a doctor's waiting room) that JM is now airing at 2 PM in NYC instead of 3 PM.  Anyone know when this started?  Looks like the last week or so were reruns so maybe I did not miss much.

My aunt's first husband went to get a loaf of bread and never came back.

The second case made absolutely no sense. He didn't seem to understand that technically he hadn't paid for the computer as the check in question was never cashed.

The third case: Thank God I have outside knowledge of the car buying process because if I had to rely on TPC for knowledge, I'd never attempt to purchase one. I'm always fascinated at the ability of the TPC's litigants to turn buying a car into a hot damn mess.

I am a little worried about that gentleman.  He may be starting to get senile.  

As for my previous blank email: I started writing something yesterday or the day before and never finished it. I can't remember what I wanted to say so I deleted the few words that I had typed but I can't erase the quote box. What's up with this site lately?

[AngelaHunter]

Were today's eps new, or just ones I missed? They were primo, with three of the most ridiculous plaintiffs ever.

First plaintiff, suing for car plus emotional distress, decides to buy an old beater car AS IS for 2200$, but doesn't even test drive it first. She looked through the windows and it looked fine to her! Problems ensue. Dealer fixes problems, new brakes, etc. Plaintiff, crying and whining, is not satisfied. Dealer offers to forgive the last payment and gives her 100$ if she'll sign a release. She signs it, but only reads it later and doesn't think she should have to abide by a document she signed if she cries enough. Sorry, out of luck and all the tears change nothing. Bonus points for JM telling def. that "irregardless" is not a word. That must be a trigger for her, as "had went" is for me. Plaintiff gets zero.

Second plaintiff is highly distressed to the tune of 5K because a salon owner ripped an ugly, stalk-y mole from her face as she was removing plaintiff's mustache. She really loved that mole/skin tag! There was a tiny dot of blood, so she went to an ER a week before this case was to be heard here but report shows only that she had some sort of "skin irritation" and not where it was. I'm with JM and would be thanking def.(who has been in the business for 30 years and learned this trade/method from her grandmother) for taking that nasty, yucky thing off my face. I liked how JM took the time to explain to her that it appeared she was trying to use the judicial system to line her pockets for no reason. She collects zero.

Third plaintiff: Idiotic girl who showers money on def. after "meeting" him on FB. They were just having sex, but not - God forbid -  "dating"! After looking at and listening to def. I can understand why she gave that hunk of a man 3K over a period of three years. What woman wouldn't? It seems he's in high demand, since plaintiff had to come to his place to fight yet another women who couldn't get enough of def's charms. Romeo sits back and watches them battle over him. *excuse me while I pick myself off the floor where I fell due to laughing too hard.*  It's a hat trick - another zero.

[BubblingKettle]

The girl who bought the car without test driving and having it checked was trying so hard to squeeze out some tears. Then she went from meticulously dabbing her dry eyes with a tissue to wildly talking a mile a minute. I think she intended to play out the nervous/trembling/emotional/crying/innocent act, but she just couldn't stick with it.

And even though JMM isn't my favorite, I did love when she told the defendant, "Irregardless is not a word."

La'Queta's skin tag got threaded off by Pretty Jain!!! Frankly, I think Pretty did La'Queta a huge favor. I don't have skin tags, but I have some keloid scars on my back (from biopsies) and an ugly mole on my arm -- if threading would make them go away, I'd head right over to the salon!

[Jamoche]

"A mole is something you can't get back."

Um, and who wants to?

[AZChristian]

I've had skin tags removed, and it's hard for me to understand how - if this happened during the threading - the plaintiff did not know it until she saw the spot of blood.  She should be thankful.

Hmmm.  I got a really nasty paper cut last night from a folder I was given at a meeting.  Do I get to sue the company that gave me the folder?  I had more than a spot of blood.

I guess some people are attached to their odd and unattractive skin growths. I've had more than a few things like that removed, and just hoped they wouldn't come back.

You should. They must have known a paper cut is a possible outcome and the folders should contain a warning in letters three inches high. Don't forget you want extra $$ for the PTSD this caused you.

I'm sure we could reach that figure: Permanent scar that may need future plastic surgery, mental anguish, and your new designer outfit ruined by blood stains and punitive damages for negligently being given an article that can cause bodily harm. There we go! 5K!

She got a beautiful job done and then stiffed them.

Okay, so it seems JM doesn't know about hoarders. I guess she has better things to do than sit and watch trash TV (Personally I haven't watched that stuff in about two years, although once in awhile I'll watch part of an ep on YT when I need motivation to clean. It works!) Def has a mental illness. It was so obvious from her affect - classic non-expression and bizarre explanations when being presented with those sick-making photos, and her non-sequitur replies to JM's questions. It was so classic - JM shows her pictures that would make a hyena gag and def starts rambling on about "residue" and smudged windows.

I was kind of surprised at plaintiff taking on a cleaning job and quoting a price without seeing the house first, but I give her a standing O for even setting foot in that toxic mess. I certainly wouldn't have, not without a hazmat suit and maybe not even then.

Granny and the shopping cart: Just your typical case of someone trying to duck the responsibility for damage they did.

Landlord "Whatever" suing tenant: What did his garish tie say? Something about a banana and it looked ridiculous. I can see why his wife is his soon-to-be ex. He wants money from def. but has no idea if there was a security deposit or how much the damages cost to fix. "Whatever!" The only thing he knows is that he wants def. to pay for a brand new fridge to replace the one that was there, and who knows how old it was? Not he! "Whatever!" He's busy and couldn't be bothered getting any pertinent information or evidence.  I didn't find him amusing or cute in the least. He just sounded like an idiotic slackjawed fool and I'm glad def. got most of his security back.

I'm always behind on PC but I just had to come in here and post about the missing mole/ skin tag (I kept hearing that part of Austin Powers in my head where he says "Mole-yy, mole-yy, mole-yy!!).  I'm of a certain age where there are weird things popping out on my skin in various places including some of those very valuable skin tags. I usually pick them off while I'm stuck at a red light. They hurt and bleed like a son of a gun and I can't imagine somebody not realizing it was removed during the threading. 

I was kinda hoping the delusional Skin-tagalicious plaintiff would win so JM could say "well, it's time for a little rough justice - what's a 40ish year old skin tag worth?"

[Jamoche]

Damn! That's one hell of a cleaning job on the cooktop - they should use that as before-and-after in all their advertising. Which part of CA are they from? I could use a cleaning service!

And I'm wondering if there was going to be a health inspection for everyone affected by the gas leak, because can you just imagine what they'd do if they saw that house?

A million years ago I interviewed for a job where I'd be counseling what we now call hoarders.  Because of the nature of their condition we had to visit their homes.  As a test I was to conduct an at-home session with a hoarder.   The woman had the same affect as the defendant and clearly there were a host of other issues that I think needed to be addressed by an MD. 

I ran the session, trudged through the house (where I could) and noticed things that I can still remember (and smell) to this day.  When I saw the picture of the tub the smell returned in my mind.  The house I visited had toilets that hadn't been cleaned in years and the refrigerator was buried by magazines.  I smelled but did not see dead animals.  She was fond of hamsters and had several empty cages stacked in the hallway and stairs.  I completed the interview, got in my car and started stripping off the clothes I could.  I threw out my jean skirt and sweater because I swore the smell adhered to them and no amount of washing would get it out.  I was offered the job but turned it down because I just couldn't handle it.  I kept saying it was like spittin' in the wind.

You are absolutely right Angela that the defendant has a mental illness.  She needs someone to assist her in getting through the day. 

And something else I just remembered, the lady I visited kept focusing on a spool of Christmas ribbons that she couldn't find - just like the defendant focusing on windows.  It's a coping mechanism to avoid addressing the big picture..."but where's my ribbon?  Someone took it"....try reasoning with that.

The thing is, from everything I've seen and heard, hoarding is really an illness that seems to have no cure and it takes tons of work and time to even marginally get someone to the point where they start to control it.

Don't feel bad. On one of the Hoarders shows I watched, professional exterminators literally ran from a house, stifling their screams and stripping off their own clothes as they went. In the meantime, the hoarder was outside casually discussing nail polish or hairstyles with someone. It's hopeless.

Here, momtoall.

You may not thank me. ETA: Oops, the beginning isn't there. Plaintiff's cleaning company was hired by defendant to clean up "residue" from some gas leak. She claimed was not allowed to return to her home until said residue was removed, but we know differently. Plaintiff finds House of Horrors.

Strange case, as I'm not sure if I should talk about the hoarder defendant or the criminal Porter Ranch ecological disaster. I'm not going to get started on the gas leak, after all it's easy enough to google, but will raise a couple points. Despite repeated complaints, it took so weeks before the gas company admitted there was a problem. When they finally admitted there was a leak, they said no big deal, no health problem, they'd have it fixed in 2-3 days. It actually tooks months to stop the leak. Well, it turned out to be a very big deal, one of the all time biggest natural gas leaks ever - costs over $700 million so far and all the civil cases not added yet. Who knows what the long term health problems will be, and there's 20 years worth of methane added to the atmosphere to add to greenhouse effects. Last month the gas company agreed to settle the criminal case with LA County for $4 million... and two days later a new leak was discovered... nope, not gonna go there, my blood is already boiling.

TPC case is simple, woman hired a cleaning company, they cleaned, she wrote a check, then stopped payment. My only question is why in hell the cleaning company people did the job? If I heard right, cleaning crew consisted of plaintiff's son and a helper, who stayed and did the job because they didn't want to waste the hour drive time it took to get there, and the son felt the defendant really needed the help getting it cleaned up. Yeah, from the pictures the place REALLY needed cleaning, and not just from sitting empty for a while after the forced evacuation. Didn't help that the pictures were of filthy condition having nothing to do with the gas leak... the crap on the kitchen floor from the broken ice maker, trash piled on broken cooktop, etc. Like  I said, simple case, cleaners worked and should be paid.

I got the impression that they specialize in really filthy places - maybe not to this degree, but more than your usual wear and tear. Like when a landlord discovers their renters haven't cleaned once in all the time they were there and trashed the place. So they're probably thinking "OK, we've agreed to the hourly rate, it's bigger than usual, let's get started - it damn sure needs it." I think JM thought the same thing - surely she wasn't living here, did she rent it out? Were there squatters? Exposed to the elements for months? WTF?

One thing was clear - they had no idea this lady thought she just needed the methane residue wiped down or whatever it was she'd twisted "needs hazmat cleanup" into. (And imagine a real hazmat team looking at that!)

[AZChristian]

I loved it when MM looked at the picture of the dark liquid in the bottom of the bathtub and asked, "What IS this?"  Defendant said, "It was some water that got backed up into the tub and then got rusty.

I didn't know that rust was the color of excrement.

Typical understated hoarder answer. I've seen hoarders reply that way when asked "What happened here?" in their jam-packed, filthy hovels that would need dynamite and a blowtorch to clear it out. "Oh, well. It got a little out of hand," they'll say. Or, "I sprained my ankle and couldn't clean." They all have the same blank expressions of non-comprehension.

[patty1h]

Maybe I'm still a little emotional from the last ep of The Walking Dead, but I got a tiny bit misty during the hallterview with the in-laws fighting over the cemetery plots.   When the mother of Tiphne put her arm over her ex-MIL, it got me in the feels.

[SRTouch]

1. FAMILY TRAGEDY ENDS UP IN FEUD: Sad case, much more serious than the normal fare. Seems 6 years ago a random drive by shooting ended in the death of a 16yo girl. The parents' 20yo marriage ends in divorce a couple years later, as they couldn't understand how their spouse was coping with the death. Couple more years go by, and the dad commits suicide. Now grandma and the dad's mom is in court suing her ex daughter in law and mother of her deceased granddaught over burial plots purchased at the time of the granddaughter's death. At the time of the 16yo's death they arranged to purchase 4 plots so that grandma, the two parents, and the girl could be buried in a family plot. Relations had been good between the two for years, but turned bad fairly recently. It appears the mom has devoted her life to keeping the memory of her daughter alive, and grandma feels she has turned into something of a publicity hound. Anyway,  mom stopped paying her share of the two remaining plots, and grandma is in court looking for the money. As I said, very sad, as the fight over money is being used as an excuse to stop supporting each other. MM gives a soft spoken reminder that these two need to make up ... oh, and mom has to live up to her agreement and pay her share. As patty1h posted above, maybe the lecture struck a cord, as Doug brought them together and they shared a hug. I have to say, though, the hug was more of a man hug, not much feeling nor eye contact.
2. LANDLORD VS TENANT: Lady in court saying her former tenant purposely caused a bunch of damage when he moved out, so wants 5 thousand. Ah, after the downer of the first case, defendant is trying to bring us a laugh. He has to be trying for comedic relief, as no one could look in the mirror without a knowing how funny he looks. He's a portly little guy, actually turns out to be a dentist, wearing a loose fanny pack hanging below his belly and something on his belt on the opposite side. Then a yellow shirt and tie. First thing to catch the eye is his mostly bald head, with a few long hairs sticking straight out, giving almost a halo effect as you still see his scalp through the thin hair - oh and wearing a yamalka or yarmulke, and mustache. Not to be outdone, he's countersuing for 5 grand, for lost wages and inconvenience... yeah, how often does that work. Plaintiff says he was first tenant after the place was renovated,  and moved in early despite a few minor things not being finished. A month to month tenant, a problem very early on as he was gruff, always angry and acted like he was about to explode, he was only there 7 months. She took him to housing court to get him evicted, and she says he was kicked out of court for using his phone. Anyway, he moves out, after catching up his back rent, but she's in court now suing because of damages she says he caused because he was upset about having to move. Oh, and she's asking for attorney's fees for the eviction court, and is told by MM that those fees had to be handled in the housing court case settlement, not as part of this case. Anyway, she has pictures of damage, and sure enough this looks deliberate and not normal wear. I thought it kind of funny that MM calls plaintiff up to go over the pictures, but after seeing damages supposedly caused by a nut job she stops him when he starts to come up and sends Douglas over with the pictures. When he gets his turn to talk, he wants to retry the eviction case, which has already been settled. MM couldn't change the settlement even if she wanted to. He starts out all soft spoken and reasonable, but as things start not to go as he thinks they should he gets a little louder and tries talking over her at times. He just can't get it through his head that the housing court case is over, and keeps trying to fight about things already settled. She decides he's harmless enough after he talks awhile, and she calls him Dr Allen and let's him show his pictures, which are on his phone... but still doesn'the want him coming to close Oh boy, yet more housing court case photos. MM  is getting more than a little perturbed over this idiot not uderstanding that he has lost the eviction case, and it's time to talk about today's case. Case becomes a she said/he said. He admits the pictures look bad, but says he didn't do it. Finally, when asked why the landlord would damage her own property, as he's trying to say, he shouts out that she'd cause the damage because she's vindiction. Ah, that spark of rage is what MM has been looking for, she dials it back a notch and is now in ready to look at receipts of what it cost to repair the damage. Dr Allen is not happy, and now that he's started yelling he wants to just keep the volume up, as he is STILL harping on the housing court settlement. MM gets him to change gears by asking him to prove his countersuit, the $4,000 in lost wages and $1,000 in inconvenience... ah this should be fun. He says he makes 4 grand (or more) a day, so he's losing that today defending this case. Oh yeah, fun times as he's told to prove he makes 4 grand a day. He needs his phone back, so Douglas has to ferry it over to him. Surprise, phone doesn't help him prove anything. MM asks about the $1000 for inconvenience... and we're back to the housing court case. Ok, this case has gone as long as they could drag it out... would have been a good 15 minutes case but it's been on for half an hour, now. Plaintiff wins, but not the amount she wants actually gets about half. Ah, last laugh as defendant comes out to talk to Doug - I didn't notice before, but dude has a little ponytail going.

[AngelaHunter]

What the heck is going on with all these random shootings? What's with all the guns? I swear, every day I read about men, women and children being blown away in their homes, their cars or on the street. It makes the Wild West look tame. I just have a hard time imagining so many guns being fired off in public places day after day. It's horrifying and puzzling.

Bozo the Dentist provided some comic relief, with his loud, high-pitched grandstanding, his hostility and his teeny little 15-hair ponytail. I'd be terrified to be a patient at his mercy for fear he might yank a tooth if I complained. I could understand very little of what plaintiff said, but I'm pretty sure she didn't vandalize her own property just so she could waste time and money taking Bozo to court. Really, you'd think a dentist making 4k a day could afford more exclusive housing.

Also found it odd that this dentist who makes 4k a day and is so fussy about his need for a dishwasher was in such a hurry to move in that he was willing to move into an apartment before it was fully ready. Oh and why month to month and no lease?

[califred]

I don't believe she'd vandalize property she just fixed up either.

if he were my dentist and I saw this I'd be finding a new practice asap.

Those are the only pictures I saw, but if they managed to clean even two or three rooms in that time, they did very well. First all the trash had to be cleared out and then every single square inch - starting at the ceiling - would have had to have been painstakingly scrubbed.

Hell, I think they deserved their pay for just cleaning the stove. It was that gross.

I wonder is she'd ever be allowed back in if they had come and cleaned the walls. From what I read about the leak a hazmat team should have been doing that and then you see the gross hoard and know if she were on Hoarders they'd probably have suits on too.

I bet she was afraid to have an official team come in. The Hazmat team would need to work with someone in the gov't so she can get approval for to move back in.  If anyone associated with a government agency came into that house, it would be commended for being a fire hazard and probably a health hazard.

But she hadn't thought it through. Of course, at some point someone official has to see the place. But she also thought her house wasn't oo messy.

My house is a bit  of a wreck now, but I know it is a mess and wouldn't want anyone showing photos of it on TV. I can;t imagine a house like that and letting people see it!  (My way of making sure my house gets clean is to make sure I invite people over every now and then;  it forces me to tidy up)
