    'Yawning Over The Loan' & 'Tapping a Rear End' & 'That's One Jumpy Dog'

    First, the plaintiff says she hired the defendant to make her lawn look long and beautiful, but that he made it worse. She argues he would not do anything to fix the situation and is suing him for the money she initially paid. The defendant claims he wasn’t paid for the work he did, and that the plaintiff kept overwatering, which caused the issues with her yard. Then, the plaintiff claims that while driving one afternoon, the defendant rear-ended him as he was stopped at a flashing red light. The defendant seemed nervous when they got out of their cars, and the plaintiff claims he was given invalid information. He is suing the defendant for the price of repairs he is owed. The defendant argues that the plaintiff was proceeding through a light when he suddenly slammed on his brakes, stopping short. By the time the defendant was able to step on his own brakes, he says it was too late. He also claims the plaintiff is a scammer who is suing him for damage to a car different from the one the defendant supposedly hit. Plus, the plaintiff claims that while she was out walking her dog, the defendant drove by and her dog leaped out of the car window and attacked the defendant’s dog. The plaintiff also claims she lost some personal items in the process and is suing for injury and property. The defendant argues that her dog just went over to play with the plaintiff’s dog, but she gave the plaintiff her info anyway. Now she says the plaintiff is suing her for a vet bill when the plaintiff’s dog only had high blood pressure. Don’t forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode.

    'Causing a Hiccup With The Pick Up' & 'Cat Lady' & 'Getting an F in Finance'

    First, the plaintiff says that when his brother borrowed his car, damage appeared that matched the shape and size of the plaintiff’s trailer hitch. When the cops arrived, the defendant refused to back his car up to see if the damage matched. The plaintiff is suing for the cost of repairs. The defendant claims there were plenty of trucks with trailers around that could have caused the damage, and he was not the one to hit the plaintiff’s car. Then, the plaintiff says she agreed to watch the defendant’s six cats while the woman was in Florida for two weeks. However, she says the defendant ended up staying in Florida for six weeks and has not paid her for the extra time caring for the animals. The plaintiff is suing for the extra time spent caring for and playing with the defendant’s six cats. The defendant claims the plaintiff agreed to watch her cats for free, but that they eventually agreed to $50 a week. She also claims she had other friends check on her house while she was gone, and they said it appeared ransacked and her animals neglected. Plus, the plaintiff runs a company that matches teachers with educators, and the defendant contracted with him at one point. He claims the defendant got hired but never paid the service fee for her placement. The defendant says she did inquire about the plaintiff’s services, but that she also sent her résumé out independently and was hired. She says her job was one she got on her own, which is why she doesn’t owe the plaintiff any money. Don’t forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode. Learn more about your ad choices.

    'Not Treating a Daughter Right' & 'No One Showed Up' & 'Not Containing Their Bull...Dog'

    First, the plaintiff says her father and stepmother stole her car and won’t give it back. In fact, she says they’re even trying to sell it. She says she saved up money for a car, which she eventually bought at a yard sale. The defendants claim they purchased the car for the plaintiff, so they didn’t steal anything. They also say she started dating a much older man as a teenager and moved out because they disagreed with this choice. Then, the plaintiff says he rented the defendant’s theater location for a festival he was holding, and she agreed to send an email blast out to her customer base of 5,000 people to help him with ticket sales. He argues the low attendance numbers are due to the defendant failing to do her job and is suing her. The defendant claims the plaintiff never provided her with the correct material for the email blast, despite her asking for it, so she is not at fault for anything. She is countersuing for unpaid rental fees and pain and suffering. Plus, the plaintiff claims her therapy dog was viciously attacked by the defendant’s bull mastiff, who had escaped from the defendant’s yard. The plaintiff says the attack lasted 20 minutes and there was nothing she could do to stop it. She is suing the defendant for the $7,000 vet bills and pain and suffering. The defendants say they had just adopted the dog four days earlier and did not know it had aggressive tendencies. They claim they believed the encounter was two minutes and were happy to pay the vet bill they believed was only $700. Don’t forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode.

    'Being a Rotten Roomer' & 'A Bon Voyage No More' & 'Doing a Wheely Bad Job'

    First, the plaintiff is a former law enforcement officer who has a seven-unit rooming house. The defendant rented from him for a while, smoked marijuana, and shortchanged the defendant on rent. The plaintiff is suing him for unpaid rent plus interest. The defendant argues the renting house was terrible to live in, as it had a bad smell, was infested with flies, and was covered in stains. When he complained to the plaintiff, nothing was done about the issues. The defendant also claims the plaintiff put him in a headlock and has drinking and anger problems. Then, the plaintiff was set to be a bridesmaid in her cousin’s wedding on a cruise ship. After the plaintiff placed a deposit down for the cruise, her cousin, the defendant, changed her mind about getting married on the cruise. The plaintiff tried to get a refund on the deposit from the company, who didn’t have any record of one being booked. She is suing her cousin for financial hardship. The defendant argues she wanted the plaintiff on the cruise with her, and even paid for part of the plaintiff’s share of the cruise. She has no idea why she is being sued by the plaintiff for that money. Plus, the plaintiff says he hired the defendant to replace the cylinder on his ’87 chevy, and nine months later the wheel came off. The defendant had tightened the lug nuts with his hands, rather than a monkey wrench. The plaintiff is suing for the cost of the tow and repairs. The defendant claims he is not responsible, given the damage occurred eight months after he worked on the car. He also claims the plaintiff’s grandson told him the truck was being overloaded with sand, causing the issues with the tires. Don’t forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode.

    Soccer Mom vs General Manager' & 'You Are as Crooked as They Come' & 'Shocking a Customer'

    First, the plaintiff runs a kids soccer team the defendant’s daughter played on the previous year. He says the defendants still have not paid him for some of the soccer events while she was playing and is suing them for that money. The defendants argue they didn’t want to purchase a warm-up suit for their daughter, and because of that the plaintiff started singling out their daughter. This made the defendant’s daughter uncomfortable, and she quit the team after playing on it for seven years. Then, the plaintiff says he hired the defendant to replace two parts on his car that he purchased on his own. When they weren’t working properly, he went to the dealership instead. He then discovered he’d been ripped off by the defendant. The parts the dealership returned to him were different from the ones he’d purchased for the defendant to use. He is suing the defendant for stolen property and extra repair costs. The defendant says he did use the pieces he was given, but simply didn’t keep the boxes for the parts. Plus, the plaintiffs say they hired the defendant to do an inspection on a house they ended up purchasing. They say he failed to detect a major issue with the electrical panel, which caused some fire damage to the panel itself. They are suing the defendant for the cost of a new panel. The defendant claims it’s not part of his job to dismantle an electric box, and the plaintiffs only called him about the issues a year later. He does not think he made any mistakes on the job.

    'Failed Commercial' & 'Needing to do a Better Trimming Job' & 'Being Paperless'

    First, the plaintiff claims he hired the defendant to film a commercial for him, but he disappeared with the money without completing the job. The plaintiff is suing to have his money returned. The defendant argues the plaintiff kept changing his mind on what he wanted the commercial to be, and the defendant eventually got fed up with it. He believes he deserves to be paid for his wasted time. Then, the plaintiff says his neighbor improperly trimmed some of her trees, causing branches to fall onto his property and break branches off his own trees. When he spoke with her, he claims her only response was that she’s a single mother. The defendant says there was a huge snowstorm that caused her power to go out, and she was only notified about the damage four months later. She believes the damage the plaintiff is complaining about was caused by the snowstorm and not a bad trimming job. Plus, the plaintiff says she’d purchased a border collie from the defendant she wished to breed, but two years after the transaction she still hasn’t received the dog’s papers from the defendant. She is suing for lost money she believes she is owed. The defendant has been breeding collies for 20 years and made no promises to provide the plaintiff with the paperwork necessary for breeding. She says this is because the plaintiff had stated she was just looking for a pet she would be getting neutered. Don’t forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode.

    'That's One Crazed Dog' & 'Being Unavailable' & 'Cracking Up a Customer'

    First, the plaintiff claims the defendant’s dog attacked her small dog out of nowhere one day and is suing for $5,000, the cost of vet bills. The defendant claims the plaintiff had allowed a toddler to walk her dog, and the attack happened when the defendant’s dog felt unsafe by its personal space being invaded. She says even the cops believe the child should not have been walking the plaintiff’s dog. The defendant is countersuing for aggravation. Then, the plaintiff and defendant have been good friends since college and at one point decided to get an apartment together. They only lasted two months living together, and now the defendant owes the plaintiff money for furniture they purchased. The defendant claims issues started when the plaintiff wanted her boyfriend to move in with them. After she moved out, he was unable to find anyone to share the apartment with. He is countersuing for the cost of bills and loss of furniture. Plus, the plaintiff says that she parked her car in the defendant’s parking lot to go to the beach, and when she returned an hour and a half later, her windshield was cracked. She says the defendant refused to pay for the damages because it wasn’t his fault and she is suing him for the cost of repairs. The defendant says the plaintiff parked right by the boardwalk, where anyone could have passed and caused the damage. He claims he is not responsible for every person who passes by.

    'Fallen Friendship Over a Car' & 'Being H2O Happy' & 'Terrible Tenant'

    First, the plaintiff has been friends with the defendant for 20 years and didn’t hesitate to lend him a car when he needed one. Three weeks later, he agreed to sell the defendant the car, but the defendant hasn’t paid him for it and has even threatened to file a restraining order against the plaintiff! The plaintiff is suing for the money he is owed. The defendant claims he paid the plaintiff for the car, which promptly started falling apart. Then, the plaintiff says she hired the defendant to clean an apartment. When he used too much water to clean the carpet, the defendant damaged the wood underneath, causing it to buckle.

The defendant claims the plaintiff was a terrible tenant who refused to vacate on time and caused lots of damage to the unit she lived in.
