@Damion Bujan - agree. You would think if they’re going on the show they must have watched it. There are things you absolutely don’t do: don’t interrupt, don’t talk to the other litigant, if you collect any form of welfare don’t say you saved any of it for Christmas presents or vacation, answer only what you’re asked, don’t volunteer anything. They have to know by JJ’s comments that they’re winning! Some litigants don’t say a word and walk away with $5000. That’s how you do it if you have an honest case. And yet, they can’t seem to keep their mouths shut even after being threatened to be thrown out with their case dismissed. I don’t get it!
@@skyhawk5851 I don’t think that’s the case here. He sounds genuinely exasperated by the entire situation and isn’t trying to be difficult. He’s just having a hard time not speaking up to defend himself because he’s worried that people will take her word for it.
@@juantubey I think you hit it right on. You can see the emotion as they try to interject But then there is the occasional litigant who never says a word and walks away with $5000.
I think the issue is that the Plaintiff saw the work everyday and still paid him even though she claims it was "amateur". She also paid half of the going rate. She was unhappy, but you can't pay nothing at all. You get what you pay for. For a professional job, pay a professional.
Exactly. If you're not happy, don't continue to pay. I still think JJ should've at least glanced at the pictures. Must've been lunchtime or something. LOL.
ExACTly. Tell me with her attitude she couldn't round up a proffessional to paint her house? That dog don't hunt, for someone who didn't wanna stay on the porch...
Lol I mean I didn’t quite generalize that way. I’ll agree women internalize emotionally while men often do so logically. But I also know a lot of guys who make all their decisions based on ego or anger and I wouldn’t exactly say that’s very womanly of them.
She's the type of person who will Rent a car for the weekend, bring it back on empty and complain about all the things wrong with it and wants a refund in full
Exactly, A cheap quote should be a red flag. People hire amateurs then complain that tradesman do bad work. Hire a professional, pay a little more but the job gets done right.
She knew he worked another job full time, he was only paid part of the money they agreed upon, and he worked at the house 13 days. Even if he did a mediocre job, she should not be entitled to all of her money back. She also gave him an impossible deadline which they later extended. He should've been fired before finishing the work if it was that bad. And mental anguish? Come on 🤣🤣🤣
I’m in the opposite situation. I just bought a house and I work with a guy who flips houses on the side. He was going to paint 3 rooms and do some electrical work - he started painting the living room - and then he got Covid. My house sat unpainted when he told me he couldn’t do the job because he was too wiped out by Covid. He got a friend of his who paints and does electrical work full time, but also does side jobs. He’s been coming over after work and weekends. He’s doing a great job. Her expectations are unrealistic. You can’t paint an entire house after work in 5 days. You just can’t. And my friend felt so bad he didn’t charge me for what he did do - I felt bad because what he did was a great job. I could have hired a painter who painted full time and I’m sure it would be done by now, but the deal I got was too good to pass up - $1400. But by paying that amount, I had to concede that it would take longer. One way or another there’s a price for everything. Mental anguish? She doesn’t know what mental anguish is! I moved in mid-August! It won’t be finished by Halloween! Did she really think she was going to get it for free?
@@rikadew you’re right - the “crew” was mentioned initially and then never again. What happened to them? She didn’t even mention any other painters that were there doing anything. She only talked about him.
She knew he was not going to be done within 5 days knowing he had a full time job already 🤨. She just wanted something Free! But Judge Judy said not Today. 🤣🤣🤣 Missy!!
She's the kind of person who will order a costum made item and then scoff when the price is x3. 'why are you charging $300 for a hand knitted blanket when i cand get one from Walmart for $70'
Honestly, the fact that he kept interrupting when he wasn’t losing makes me a little glad that his counterclaim was dismissed… he also seems like he had a little bit of an attitude like the plaintiff…
I think I can top that. I work with a nurse who busted her ass going to school to become a nurse practitioner while she was working full time and raising 3 boys alone without any other financial support. When she got her NP degree, she found a job in another area of the hospital, but she was only making $2/hr more than what she had been making before, so she quit the NP job and came back to the job that paid $2/hr less. ?? That’s $80/wk. $320/month. $4160/year. Maybe I live in a small world, but with the way today’s economy is, an extra 4K a year would seem quite helpful - especially with 3 boys.
The defendant is very annoying. How many times do Judge Judy need to tell him to stop interrupting? I definitely know a guy like the defendant that has a huge ego😒
Exactly...how can she make a decision without fairly weighing up the evidence. Those pictures were essential to the case, as she would have seen the quality of the work for herself.
Her reaction shows that she was expecting to get her own way. A bit spoiled brat of her. The sort of person you'd never want to enter in to an agreement with because she'd find something wrong with it and try to make you responsible for her bad behaviour.
People think that painting is mindless work. if it's just painting ur in and out, but if walls need prep work or cleaning 😏 it's a whole new ball game 🤔
I am a contractor mainly so painting, wall paper, drywall and flooring. This just doesn’t make sense. That’s a lot of work for that low cost. Wall paper is BRUTAL to deal with some times. Some customers are nit picky which is sometimes understandable. I’ve never had an issue with a customer being upset at the final product to the point they refused to pay. Something else happened at that job site that they didn’t bring up. Leaning towards the plaintiff being a bitch I guarentee it
Two thoughts: 1. You can't expect champagne on a beer budget... Then have the nerve to sue for free sparkling wine. 2. That guy is way too arrogant for a crappy and amateur house painter. lol
She did not have a written contract. She paid for half of the money she would have paid getting the job from a better service. Furthermore, she demanded the service to be done far faster than it would be normally. Even if you have an entire crew, you cannot paint an entire house in five days. So her claim was dismissed because she effectively wanted the work done as cheaply as possible. Even if she got another contractor to do the work and paid that contractor, that contractor's work would probably be easier than the first guy she hired and most likely also less than the 6000 dollars. So she would have saved even more money if she was awarded the money in her suit.
Why are you all saying you can’t paint a house in 5 days without even knowing how big it is? As someone who paints yea you can paint a house in 5 days especially if you have a crew. Just because Judy thinks you can’t doesn’t mean it’s true.
She's the type of person who would order Uber Eats, then after eating the food, claim she never received the food, causing the delivery driver to be fired, just so she can get a free meal.
I don't understand what the total cost has to do with the quality of the work the first contractor did. If she had to hire someone to come and redo the work, then why should she have to pay him the full price? That doesn't make any sense to me. And he refused to come back to finish the work.
I've had workers like him before, did a crappy job and then get offended when you speak up about it. It must have been a terrible job, or the realtor wouldn't have advised hiring someone else. If the work had been good the realtor would have gotten his card. Not all workers are good.
It kind of does though... She got estimates for what the work would cost and went the cheap route. It would've been different if he had discounted the price but that's what he was charging outright for the job. She got the quality that she paid for and still paid less than what she was ever quoted to get it fixed. I broke my tablet screen recently and everyone quoted me over 500 dollars. If I found someone that said they would do it for 200 and it ended up broken even worse I would be mad but I would also have to take an L because I tried to get a deal on a job I knew should never have cost that much in the first place. 🤷🏾 That's the risk you take when you cut corners and have unrealistic expectations.
@@lynnettelove11 yes but whether they’re a cheap business or an expensive business, they’re still a business. And businesses usually always have refund policies if not done a good job? Atleast I would think so? (Not talking about this case but in general) But yea if they didn’t have a contract or anything for this specific case then that’s hard.
@@lynnettelove11 and plus his cheap price wasn’t because he wasn’t as experienced and couldn’t of done a good job, his price was because it was a part time thing. But yea she should’ve expected more time than 5 days.
so if someone agrees to do work and doesn’t do a good job you can’t sue? who cares if you got someone to finish it dirt cheap? his work was unsatisfactory and why couldn’t she sue for her money back paid to him? it shouldn’t matter what she paid to get someone else to finish it? she should get back exactly what she paid him since his work wasn’t satisfactory
The defendant just didn't do a good work, if the work done great nobody will sue him. Nothing wrong with the plaintiff, she demand what she paid for, all people will sweet talk you to get a job deal, and then along the way many thing become problem,,,if the job not finish the owner will left with all the mess,,,
Sometimes JJ is so busy fussing she doesn’t listen. I think a written contract would have helped. The defendant originally had a crew and told the plaintiff he and his crew would complete the work in 5 days. The defendant fired his own crew due to subpar output. That left him alone to complete the job. 13 days in he still wasn’t finished and the work was sloppy. When the owners complained he refused to return and complete the job. How do you quantify what he earned without looking at pictures of the work? Another painter had to come in and fix any errors and provide a professional finish. That increased the cost and duration of this job. I believe the pictures of his work should have been evaluated, any claims of damage should have been entertained. When JJ realized he refused to complete the job but initiated a lien process, she should have revisited the request for legal fees. I think JJ was irritated at how unreasonable the plaintiff’s ask was. She should have asked for the difference in the amount she paid overall and the amount agreed to + legal fees.
I would hate to work for someone like her, cheapskate looking for perfection, entitled upper class demeanor, probably micro managed him too. Let dude finish the work and then critique and touch up what you don't want.
