'Bugging Out a Customer' & 'Smoking an Ex' & 'Chuddy Chroming' Mar 05, 2026

Show notes

First, the plaintiff says she hired the defendant to handle a roach infestation in her home, and while he showed up three or four times, the problem wasn’t fixed. He reportedly stopped answering her calls and now her home is infested again. She is suing him for the money she paid to put it toward another company to fix the problem. The defendant says he was ready and willing to fulfil their contract and even did the work. The plaintiff was impatient and wouldn’t give his job time to work. Just because she found someone cheaper doesn’t mean she’s owed a refund.

Then, the plaintiff claims that the defendant, her ex-boyfriend, deposited two bad checks into her bank account, and now that they’ve split, he’s refusing to pay her back. She’s suing him for the money she deserves. The defendant claims he was asked to deposit the checks by the plaintiff, so she’s the one at fault for having faulty checks. He even says she told him to withdraw $600 for himself. He claims she’s only suing him because he broke up with her.

Plus, the plaintiff hired the defendant to refinish his classic car, but when he went to pick it up, he found a piece missing and the rest of the job done incorrectly. The defendant made no attempt to correct the issue, so the plaintiff is suing for the money he spent. The defendant claims the plaintiff took one look at the job and left with the car, never giving a single complaint about the job done. He also says the lawsuit is odd because parts are not as expensive as the plaintiff is claiming.

'Not Staying Away' & 'Tax Error' & 'Short-circuiting' Mar 04, 2026

Show notes

First, the plaintiffs rented a house from the defendant and soon had the defendant’s family wandering in and out as if they lived there. The plaintiffs moved and have yet to be given their security deposit back, much less a reason why it’s been withheld. They are suing for the return of their security. The defendants say they had painted the unit with the understanding the plaintiffs would be staying a year, but instead they up and left only six weeks after moving in. The defendants are keeping the deposit to cover the cost of the paint job.

Then, the plaintiff says the defendant, his taxman, made a mistake on his tax return forms, causing him to pay more in interest than he should have. He has no problem paying what he owes to the IRS but doesn’t think he should pay for the additional $900 in interest from the mistake. He is suing the defendant as a result to get his money back. The defendant argues that the mistake was not his but the government’s, and the plaintiff really has an issue with them.

Plus, the plaintiff took his truck to the defendant to have the heater repaired, but when he got it back, the signal lights and brake lights didn’t work. He took it back to the defendant, and the second time he picked it up, he found his emergency lights would turn on when he signaled turning right. He is suing for the cost of getting his wiring redone. The defendant says he tested everything to make sure it was working, and it was. The complaints were for electrical issues, which he doesn’t even do. He’s innocent of any issues caused.

'Being a Rotten Renter' & 'Unloading a Clunker' & 'Missing Package' Mar 03, 2026

Show notes

First, the plaintiff says she had agreed to rent an apartment from the defendant, who promised the current tenant had been evicted and the place was ready on January 1. When the plaintiff went to pick up her keys at the end of December, she found the previous tenant was still there and refusing to leave. The plaintiff is standing up for her rights and suing for the return of the rent she paid. The defendant says she thought the plaintiff would be a perfect fit for her unit but was mistaken. She says the plaintiff is crazy and has been making wild accusations against her for a while. Since no money was exchanged, she doesn’t owe the plaintiff anything.

Then, the plaintiff says the defendant is a scoundrel who sold him a car with a fried engine and is suing to get his money back. The defendant says the plaintiff took the car for a test drive and liked it, so he put down a deposit. All he knows is he sold the plaintiff a perfectly fine car, and nothing was wrong at the time of sale.

Plus, the plaintiff has been using the defendant’s shipping company for a year, and one of his packages has gone missing. The defendant supposedly handles many packages a day and didn’t have time to check delivery on just the one. The plaintiff wants to be reimbursed for the lost merchandise and is suing. The defendant says he has packages delivered to his store for clients all the time and has records of each one. The “missing package” was never logged in his books, despite the plaintiff saying it had been delivered, so he says he’s not at fault for a shipping mistake.

Then, the plaintiff, a real estate broker, brought clients to see the defendant's apartment. The defendant kept pushing the move-in date, so the plaintiff's clients changed their minds and sued her.

On the move-in date, the plaintiff's clients changed their minds, but that's not her fault.

She paid him, but when the plaintiff went to her new apartment, the defendant and his friends were partying there. The plaintiff backed out of the deal and is suing for her money back.

'Doesn’t Look Like a Casanova' & 'Rusty Tires' & 'Boycott in Epcot' Feb 23, 2026

Show notes

First, the plaintiff used to be in a relationship with the defendant, and they moved in together. The plaintiff claims her ex-boyfriend won’t return a television and air conditioning unit, so she’s suing for the cost of the items. The defendant argues his ex-girlfriend used his money to buy the TV and air conditioner, so he doesn’t think he owes.

Then, the plaintiff brought his car to the defendant’s repair shop because he needed new tires. He claims the defendant used a sledgehammer to hit the tires, and after he got it back, his axle began smoking. He’s suing for the cost of repairs.

She claims the defendant keyed her car because she was angry when she found out the plaintiff was pregnant. She’s suing for car damages.

She moved her horse to another location, but then the horse was found at the defendant’s barn. The plaintiff is suing for boarding costs. The defendant argues he had a free lease with the plaintiff, meaning they board it and the plaintiff pays for upkeep. They’re countersuing for equipment.
