Ruining a Sweet Sixteen

- The plaintiff hired the defendant to put up decorations and props at her daughter’s Hollywood-themed Sweet 16 party. She says the defendant showed up late, so people had to wait in the lobby for the party to start. She’s suing for a partial refund. The defendant argues his workmen got stuck in traffic because of a marathon, but they still got everything done. He claims the party got started only 10 minutes late, and he offered her a credit for her next party, but she refused.
Case #27197

"My people were late so I offered her credit for her next party." Dude, next time there's NO WAY that she's going with you!!!
Unbelievable last April ( 2022) for my mom’s funeral mass the florist was supposed to have the flowers delivered prior to the funeral service. The floral delivery came in the middle of the service. Also, quite a few years ago, I attended a wedding in the hotel forgot about the reservation for the hall they had to set up it and we all had to wait outside for about 45 minutes to an hour.
@@bethpeters3477 Yikes!!!😬😬😬 I'm just glad that we've never had that problem with funerals. The funeral home that we use is actually run by an old friend of mine, we grew up together.
@bethpeters3477 so sorry for your lost😢
The plaintiff did an excellent job explaining her case.
Factz❤❤❤❤
Yes she did!!👏🏾👏🏾
I would’ve respected him more if he owned up to the fact that they dropped the ball. Mistakes happen but it makes things worse when you dont take responsibility
Exactly!
I had to laugh when the defendant realized videos and pictures have a date and time stamp!😂😂 I'm glad the judge knows to check that!
@margaretakins6829 The judge brought up that fact and concluded that it had to be prior to the defendant's video because she could clearly see his people bringing in the decorations to set up. That video was to prove the guests were already there waiting in the lobby when his crew showed up, and it proved that. Because the defendant was trying to say no guest were waiting when they arrived.
How could he be stuck in traffic for 5 hours and arrive a little late!? Is he serious!?😂
@margaretakins6829 I understand that. I'm focusing on his use of the word "little." He said they were a little late. With a traffic jam that long, anyone would be extremely late. He's trying to downplay just how late they arrived to set up. He was very late in relation to the time they agreed upon he would start setting up. If I lost that much needed time to set up, I'm not going to think small of it from a business standpoint.
he tried to charge her for a 3 hour set up time that in reality only takes one hour .
No way that was 3k worth of decorations.
@Jum-rd9yo oh well!!! They fund the wars with billions of dollars and then turn around and ask you to pay your student loans. I say have the party!!!
For New York I can believe it. Things are way more pricier there.
That's the same thing I said😳
Probably for labor and transportation too
Exactly they probably could have ordered everything outright from Amazon then resold
The defendant probably does a 20 minute set up 3 hours prior so that he can book other events within that window. He probably overbooked that day or something because there is no way that his workers were in traffics for 5-6 hours. No way!
The worst part The defendant doesn't even seem apologetic or sympathetic. Just trying to make excuses lying about what Bridget would do if it happened to her.
It’s not the fact of the party started only a half hour late is the fact that they had to rush into set up couldn’t be as perfect as it should’ve been had they had enough time
$3000 for a sweet 16!!! My daughter didn’t even want a party. She was happy with getting together with family and her close friends at Cheesecake Factory for dinner and then we all hung out at our house afterwards. Love my daughter❤️☺️
My daughter was the same. She said mom you don’t have to spend that much money.
If they can afford it, why not 😊 not everyone wants a small restaurant meal.. some people like to party
I would've just enjoyed the $3000 instead of it going to all this
@@symonephillips7841 I mean sure if that’s what they want to waste money on. To each his own.🤷🏽♀️ just my opinion.
That’s honestly nothing compared to what mine cost 😂
Miss Francis is cute as a button, for a plaintiff she handled herself with a lot of grace and very little anger.
He needs to just stop it!! 6 hours in traffic really?!! Come on business owner u may have just lost some customers! Smh
If you're a business and you mess up, don't minimize your mistake or make excuses. Own up to it fully or even go beyond and make it a learning experience. Money is easy come easy go but trust and goodwill is priceless and takes a long time to build while being easy to lose in an instant.
No one gets stuck in traffic for 6hrs. They probably left at 5pm not thinking about it. Pay the woman her money.
Stuck in traffic for 6 hours no way.
You obviously never driven before.
Even in NYC no way unless something tragic is happening or happened. I’ve lived there 27 years, no way.
@@ihateeverything666 I do drive and the longest I’ve ever been stuck in traffic was like an hour. New York is busy yea but 6 hours no freaking way
😂😂😂
Been in traffic few time for 6ix hours, 5 hours, 7 hours, before. So it is not uncommon oh yeah truck driver local, southern california
A "little late"??? The contract was for a 3pm arrival... how is arriving 3 plus hours late considered a "little late"??? She paid him over 3 grand... she got back 1... I understand and agree that there was value for his services... they did forget to bring the bowls, not a huge deal, but still... the sheer panic and stress for 3 plus hours, wondering where the heck they were, if they were even coming (no mention of a courtesy call to let her know what was going on)... I would've awarded her more... but, as they say, something is better than nothing!!! Certainly not a company that I would recommend...
The plaintiff is such a pretty lady with the most beautiful skin.
Instead of giving the lady some of her money back he would rather come to court look like a fool and still have to give her some of her money back 🤷♀️
If you offered $1000 credit, just give the cash.
I hate when it’s a persons whole career to do these things and when they don’t come through it’s a rebate for the next one like YOU CANT HAVE A SWEET 16 BIRTHDAY TWICE and if he’s charging 3 grand who’s willing to keep forking that over🙄 for a maybe
The contract states he was supposed to arrive for 3pm to set up and the party start at 6pm, then it was changed to starting at 7pm so he should have arrived to set up at 4pm, so he turned up nearly 3 and a half hours late for the set up, so if in his contract he thinks it takes 3 hours to set up, what didn't he do for this party since he was able to set it up in just 20 minutes? Sounds like he is one of those people that claims to be a professional but hasn't got a clue as to what professional actually means...
And forgot the BOWLS!😊
Set up took about an hour. The worker got there shortly after 6 and were finished setting up shortly after 7
Yo did the judge just let that laptop drop on her desk 😂 10:33 that was in freefallll
😂😂😂😂😂 had to go back 😂
Surprise, she doesn't want $ 1,000.00 off her next party. because she didn't get Value out of this party.
I dunno… took me 8hrs to get home from Vegas one day. That’s normally a 3-4hr drive.
When we have a bike marathon in town, i don't go anywhere. I remembered i was returning home at 3:30pm. Police were directly traffic right and left. I stopped at coffee shop, hung around an hour. Finally arrived home around 6pm. And i only lived 7 mile from work.
They probably stopped for coffee, too
I just can't believe how much the parents these days have indulged this generation.
Right? When the plaintiff said at the end "It was all about her!" that kind of summed it up. Maybe that party was a one-time thing for the plaintiff's daughter, but I doubt it. So many parents go to great lengths to make their child feel like the world revolves around them, then they wonder why their children grow up greedy, entitled, and immature. These days grown women wear tiaras and sashes in public on their birthday, like they're little girls!
We have entire generations of entitled people now. They get angry when their parents buy them a new car and it's not the one they wanted, or when their parents "cut them off" financially in their 30's.
Many of them are impatient for their parents to "die already" so they can have all of their stuff! There are blogs & comment sections full of that, and they feel totally justified! It's disturbing.
3grand for that 😮 that’s a plain party
You pay for the item rental, as well as tbe labour to set up and deconstruct.
But that being said, parents are too lazy to organise their own parties nowadays
@kaelatkins4850
Maybe not lazy, but busy!
Ppl hire others all the time for parties!! It's not unheard of; especially if you can afford it
The defendant gave himself away when he said his guys forgot the bowls because they were rushing to get stuff on the truck. If they left at noon, and didn't have to set up until 3:00 p.m., why were they rushing. They were rushing because they were running late. There was no marathon, they were just running late.
Truck driver here…funnily enough if the driver was avoiding the George Washington Bridge because they were running behind and had taken 287 the marathon in Morristown would have effected their time. But he really wasn’t prepared because the Holland tunnel has a truck restriction so they couldn’t drive there if they wanted.
He let it slip they were rushing to pack the truck. You rush cause you're late.
That was a fair ruling because although the company was late , they provided beautiful work .
Stuck in traffic for how long and he said he was a little bit late????? Lies
23 minutes late is not horrific. It's not good either. These 1st world problems are ridiculous
The judge didn’t handle that laptop very carefully lol. She should’ve at least apologized because I’m sure there was a ding or scratch on it
Those decorations werent even dollar tree cute, let alone $3100 cute. Yikes.
I agree.
Omg I thought it was just me better off doing a birthday dinner lol 😂
Dude offering $1000 for being “a few minutes late” is insane. You don’t offer 1/3 refund or forward for only being a few minutes late.
How could he even think he should not return her money?? I also don’t see how the decor was worth that amount of money. He was also a liar 🤥 I don’t believe there was a marathon. He totally screwed up that party.
Whew I’m surprised they were able to get everything set up so quick. I’m not usually stickler of time so a 20 minute later start time wouldn’t have upset me too bad but maybe I should start suing folks lol lol.
I live in Jersey and I used to date a girl that lived halfway into Long Island. With no traffic it was about an hour and a half ride. However I used to go in to see her after work on Friday in rush hour traffic and that would take me about 3 hours. There is NO WAY they say in traffic for 6 hours going from Brooklyn to NJ.
$1000 for 23 minutes???? That's kind of crazy! I was thinking MAYBE $200.😮😮😮😮
Girls face to left w glasses lol😂I can’t
that blue shirt lady to the left behind defendant i recognize from audience in multiple episodes because she kinda reminds me of Judith Light
I thought Wedding day was THe MOST important day of a young girl's life!!!
Is there another room because she said there were 60 kids and 30 adults but in that video, it doesn't look like that many people will fit
The Defendant really messed up this Sweet 16 party by showing up so late with lame excuses.
1000 was fair, he's a jerk, they should have been able to be in there party 30 mins to 1 hour before it started.
Pretty certain the defendant spoke with “forked tongue” on multiple points!
Often I here the camera never lies, on this occasion it definitely never lied.
Three thousand dollars for a sweet 16 party!!! Unbelievable....
She can do what she wants
Wake up Harvey because the judge already said the marathon wasn’t in the path of his route.
Wow! I just bought a cake and went to Juicy Crab!
Now everyone knows that at noon the traffic is busy too. They should of left way earlier. 😠
Heyy 8:30p on the east side. Whos up
Same here, I’m in East TN
Hooty Hoo 🗣️ we outchea #taurusgang
Here from the Bahamas same time tho
11:45AM on the 1st November here in Melbourne Australia, enjoy your Halloween.
New England
Seems a bit extravagant for a 16yr old
Marathons start in the early AM. I’m not buying his story.
True. And they are planned months in advance. If your job has to deal with NY-NJ traffic in order to accomplish what you are paid to do-figure it out!!
When the defendant said his guys forgot the bowls in the rush to get everything on the truck, that tells me all I need to know about what happened. That was the most honest thing he said.
3 hours late is not a little bit late!
I think it’s stupid to spend that much money on some arbitrary birthday.
Poor baby had her party ruined there are bigger problems in this world grow up!
WOW! The plaintiffs evidence and presentation were on-point!
What I want to know is who threw up over the defendants shirt?
Edit...I would have thought the plantiffs video file would have a time stamp!
They rushed to put it on the truck hut left 3 hrs before 😂 he such a DAMN LIAR. Heavy on both words
Even if it was 7:05. He was supposed to be there at 3pm.
It was pretty asinine of him to offer a refund on the next party of $1,000 why not just give her the thousand dollars in her hand because in the end that’s what ended up happening. What made him so sure that she was going to book him for another party?
6:14 THE WAY SHE SHIFTED HER WEIGHT IN HER CHAIR 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sorry, not sorry. But spending that kind of money on a sweet sixteen party is pretentious and as ridiculous as a participation trophy. Wait until she actually accomplishes something. If you could afford it you wouldn't be on People's Court.
Tired of the word 'horrific' being used in situations that are merely really annoying. There is actual horror going on this world...
Lol.... those are their feelings
I like this Judge, she is on the ball
For 3k that looks like a diy
Rupertha...what in the ole mammy names is going on! 🤣🤣🤣
Judge Millian is always sensitive around cases involving the spoiling of children, since she too feeds her kids with golden spoons.
True. She's hard on section 8 people lol
How do you know?
I’m so tired of everyone trying to out-do each other these days. From promposals to real proposals to gender reveals, everyone trying to show off and do it better than everyone else. Don’t folks realize that you are just cheapening the things you are trying to celebrate? These things are being ruined. Now we have sweet 16 parties where it’s teaching young girls to buy friends with money. Do you really think these things are important?
Wouldn’t be an issue for Africans as they show up 3 hours later for an event 😂party starts at 7pm the first person would probably show up at 9pm 💀
$1K is a pretty good discount, I'd sure be happy with it. Put that money in the girl's college fund!
He offered a $1000 discount for her next party.. Who would want to use his company again ??
@@karenoconnor4180 I mean the settlement amount she won
That's a SUCKER'S "discount", buddy 😮 that the old switcheroo, banana 🍌 in the tailpipe, flim flam, smoke n mirrors, sell 'em "air" 'fake' AF "Discount', bro.....
1) "Think" about it.....a) You do NOT get anything...unless you hire HIM....Again 🙄 for some other event for him the eff up....that's the 1st fallacy
2) But MOST important, to the SCAM is....guess who offers you the price of that "to be named....in future...party"? That's RIGHT...."he" will be giving the QUOTE for the nee, future party so he is "giving" you a "pretty" $1000 off HIS arbitrary future price 🙄 DUH, Hello
So we will just TRUST he'll "price"...."himself" out of a $1000 "next" time 🫡 sure....and they used to tell you, she won't get pregnant if y'all do it ....standing UP😳
Marathon route is announced days ahead of time. Everyone who's not in a coma knows. If your business is catering how do you not check?
Sweet 16, no one fret, ain’t got knocked up by no man yet.
Little late, stuck in traffic that long. Yeaaaa.
Next time like she’s turning 16 again lmao
Defendant is a terrible business person, is dismissive and full of BS excuses, and not a great person.
He should have left early
My kids, if you're reading this message: Don't ever get the audacity to think I'm spending three grand on anything related to you because I'm not. To include weddings. $500 is my limit.
NYC does not do that
another wrong way to bring up your child in America. Just too concerned about money money money. What’s the big deal about a half an hour late traffic problem.
1k for ½ hour of time. Dang, I'm in the wrong line of work.😮
What a rip off
its only a party.
So its easy to see what went down here - the defendant wasn't willing to give anything except a partial 'credit' . And the family wanted a FULL REFUND (not credit). I don't think its reasonable to give a full refund - they had the party with the decoaration - albeit some stuff was setup differently. If you still have the party with decorations then the guy really shouldn't owe you a COMPLETE refund. That being said If I was him I would have offered a choice of a specific amount of cash back - or a higher amount of credit and leave it up to them. Perhaps the family may have been willing to take less than full back in cash - and the defendant and them just could'nt agree on the final numbers - and so they filed in court. I get the feeling alot of the cases that end up on tv are something like this - where they just couldn't hammer out an exact number both sides consider are fair. (especially when both sides are pretty even keeled when they come to court like this case was. Either way - i hope no one who sees this show ever has something like this happen to them.
no excuse sir
Is this a new marathon pay the lady
Plaintiffs are so extra. All that for 16. Better start saving for wedding now.
That's her money , not your concern
At first glance, I thought that was Jill Biden sitting behind the defendant! 🤭
What an insult to the woman sitting behind the defendant.
the defendant should screen his clients better.
I don't get these Sweet 16 parties.
A thousand dollars was a fair judgement. But, I will never understand why people would spend over three thousand dollars on a teenager's birthday party. These are usually the same types of people that will complain, they don't have enough money to pay their bills. This party wasn't for their daughter. This party was for the parents to show off. SMH
Maybe it’s just me.. but the decor was pretty tacky for a $3000 set up.
I think the "sweet sixteen" is overrated.
Plan ahead be prepared or maybe change careers
im watching this on may 6th :P
That's why we don't throw ridiculously expensive, over the top parties for little kids just because they're having a birthday.
Just because you cannot afford it doesn't mean other people should not.
You sound angry because you can't afford to give your little one a party like that. Mind your own business. How about that. Bitter old grump.
@@catblackman5874I know I can’t afford it. Even if I could I wouldn’t spend that much money on a Sweet 16. I think it’s ridiculous but to each his own.
I turned a sweet sixteen and got zero props. Damn times sure have changed
Harvey can’t hear because he shortened the time by3 hours. Do better Harvey
1k ... He offered to pay her that WITHOUT COURT 😅😅😅
He offered that as a discount for her next party. Not a partial refund bc of how he messed up.
@@ChasRiaStJohn true my bad
Waste of money for a sweet 16 tho should wait till their 21st . They will appreciate it more .
Money better spent on university.
Just because you cannot afford it doesn't mean other people should not. It's their kid, why not.
or do both
@@lukerinderknecht2982
Mom may have covered that already!
@catblackman5874 lolol anyone with half a brain wouldn't go around on the internet presuming a complete stranger that you dont know ain't rich enough to afford a sweet sixteen party or would even want to have one 😂😂 don't be salty lol. My comment was just my opinion, if parents want to waste money on whatever they choose, that's their choice
Are there sweet sixteen parties strictly for boys? Please describe
Sweet sixteen parties are for both genders but the male version is not done often. It’s like a quinceañera there is a male version but it’s not done often. I think the reason the Judged asked if the defendant had a daughter was to help the man relate to the situation a little bit better.
