00:00Ms. Martin, let's not play with each other.
00:02You appear to be an intelligent woman.
00:05Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the litigants who wanted
00:09to speak to the manager and had to face Judge Judy instead.
00:12By 66 years of age, you should know that there are alternatives to acting like a fool.
00:17I tried.
00:18We're done!
00:19Number 10.
00:20You're a Hustler When a property was taken over by a new tenant,
00:25plaintiff Alana Rader didn't go back to collect her belongings for several months after she
00:30left.
00:31Now she's in court suing the new tenant for throwing her abandoned items away.
00:36And he says that he got rid of all the stuff because he was paying rent on this property
00:41and didn't want your stuff in a place where he was paying rent, right?
00:45Correct.
00:46Apparently, as she tells Judge Judy, she had been told that she could keep it there through
00:50the first day of his lease.
00:52Well, that's not how leases work.
00:54No, he was moving in on November 1st.
00:56Yes.
00:57So you had to get your things out of there by October 31st.
01:01That isn't what I was told.
01:02Well, I don't care what you were told.
01:03The judge doesn't seem sympathetic at all.
01:05Whether or not Rader sees it that way, the judge doesn't believe a woman leaves her items
01:10for that long without paying if she's not playing some kind of angle.
01:14Judge Judy, I want to say one thing.
01:16This man is a liar and a thief.
01:18You're a hustler.
01:19And I'm a what?
01:21Number 9.
01:22Painting a fence It's a terrible day in the neighborhood.
01:26Just ask plaintiff Bob Ketcherside, who seems to be a one-man HOA unto himself.
01:31When his neighbor painted his side of their shared fence, Ketcherside was outraged by
01:36the color he chose.
01:37It was simply not to his liking.
01:40It's completely visible to the rest of the neighborhood, anybody on the street, anybody
01:44on the sidewalk.
01:45Who cares?
01:46That has nothing to do with you.
01:48They may like this color.
01:49The hilarious thing is that Ketcherside can't even see the color from his house.
01:54The neighborly feud turned hostile to the point that they ended up before Judge Judy.
01:59This is your house.
02:00Yes, ma'am.
02:01On the other side of this is his house.
02:04A complete property over.
02:05I want you to answer my question!
02:07All this over the color of a fence he can't see unless he goes out of his way to look
02:11at it?
02:12His case is proof, if any were needed, that you don't need to be a woman to be a Karen.
02:17Well, first he repeats what I am again, and I said, you'd better stop saying that.
02:22You're not insulting me.
02:24You're insulting my mother.
02:25Oh, get over.
02:26And I'm not going to put up with that.
02:27Number 8.
02:28The Dog Whisperer
02:29Katie Swoboda is really, really upset that Lauren Coyle's dog made a mess in her home.
02:3618-year-old Katie Swoboda is suing 21-year-old Lauren Coyle for damage to her home caused
02:43by Lauren's dog.
02:45Of course, Swoboda was dog-sitting at the time, so while the dog may belong to Coyle,
02:50she wasn't responsible for it at the time.
02:52Apparently, it was also Coyle's responsibility to see into the future and tell her that the
02:56dog would destroy her home.
02:58Yeah, that one's not going to fly with Judge Judy.
03:01She did not tell me that the dog would do this damage, and she assured me...
03:04How did she know that the dog...
03:05You think the dog told her that it was going to damage your apartment?
03:08This case is over before it begins, and Swoboda actually seems stunned at the idea that her
03:13complaint is in fact ridiculous.
03:15The judge doesn't sugarcoat it either.
03:17She assured me that everything was going to be okay.
03:20Goodbye!
03:21Number 7.
03:25I Said No Refunds
03:27In this case, the Karen is the manager of a motorcycle rental company.
03:31Kim Knoller seems to run her business with an iron fist.
03:35He called you within 24 hours to tell you that his plan has changed, and you told him,
03:41according to your papers, that you had a no refund policy, that you would send him
03:46vouchers for another time.
03:48Defendant Thomas Doherty booked a motorcycle from her, and then canceled that reservation
03:52less than a day later.
03:54But that doesn't sit well with Kim Knoller.
03:56She insists she doesn't give refunds.
03:59Ultimately, it went back into my account when he dropped the dispute at the end.
04:03So what are you doing here?
04:04Go ahead.
04:05Well, I'm suing for the NSF charges that I incurred for the money going in and out.
04:10In fact, she wants him to recompense for her taxes and her own inconvenience.
04:15Rather than keep a long-time customer, Knoller declares war over a $390 rental that was canceled
04:21over two months in advance.
04:24Knoller also doesn't know when to shut up, a major sin in Judge Judy's courtroom.
04:28My policy is no refunds.
04:30Ms. Knoller!
04:31Ms. Knoller!
04:32It's in my policy.
04:33I'm talking, you're not.
04:34I understand.
04:35She loses the case, and we can only assume Doherty's future business.
04:396.
04:40But there was no zipline, Your Honor
04:42Claudia Airola just wanted to zipline with her family.
04:45She and her children rented a cabin near a ziplining business, only to find out the business
04:50was closed.
04:51They had closed their doors.
04:53Well, they don't own the ziplines, right?
04:55But they...
04:56Pay attention.
04:57They don't own the ziplines.
04:58Airola had her bank refund her for the rental, despite staying in the place for two days.
05:03But Airola's defense is that the cabin owners were guilty of false advertising.
05:07At the time that they rented you the cabin based on this, if I assume that this is advertising,
05:14this was perfectly accurate.
05:15Though the plaintiffs don't run the zipline business, Airola believes that her vacation
05:20was ruined by the business being closed, and so she shouldn't have to even pay for the
05:24rental.
05:25After a brief visit to fantasyland, Judge Judy has to give her a lecture on reality.
05:30You rented the cabin, you rented it for four days, you have a responsibility to pay for
05:34it, and you have your responsibility because there's no false advertising here.
05:38Number 5.
05:39You sound like a fool.
05:41Carla Sanchez-Lopez can't help herself.
05:44So I went to pick him up, and he turned around and he bit me three times on the left hand.
05:48I have photos of the injuries.
05:50Her friend's dog has been accused of a heinous and vicious biting, and she must right this
05:55injustice, even if it means interrupting the judge, apparently.
05:59Unfortunately, her incessant commentary and unwillingness to hear what Judge Judy is saying
06:04doesn't get her very far.
06:06Did you ever see this lady?
06:08Did you ever see her?
06:09You saw me at the door, ma'am.
06:11Don't lie.
06:12I don't want to hear you unless I ask you a question.
06:15Do you understand that?
06:16Yes, your honor.
06:17After her whole argument, such as it is, is destroyed by logic, she just starts talking
06:22back like a scolded child.
06:24You know things aren't going your way if you're actually saying the words, that's your opinion,
06:28to a judge.
06:29You sound like a fool.
06:31I'm trying to sound what it is.
06:32You sound like a fool.
06:34That's your opinion.
06:35No.
06:36My opinion's the only one that counts.
06:38The whole thing is hilarious and kind of painful to watch.
06:41Number four, freedom of speech.
06:44This case has two Karens for the price of one.
06:46Luckily for the entire neighborhood, they live right next door to each other.
06:50I was going to have to see what led up to this since it does appear that for a substantial
06:55period of time, you peacefully coexisted, which is what you're supposed to do if you
07:00possibly can with neighbors.
07:02Stephen Hessley was offended by defendant Sheila Blazowski letting her twigs fall onto
07:07his property.
07:08A spat erupted between the two, police reports were filed, and Blazowski decided to invoke
07:13her First Amendment rights with a bullhorn and some foul language.
07:17And she says, and I quote, you want me to pick this up, you blankety blank blank blank,
07:22unquote.
07:23And yes, things went quickly south after that.
07:26Unfortunately, there's a fine, fine line between protesting and disorderly conduct,
07:31and the judge suggests she find it.
07:34It started out with some twigs.
07:36How did it end up like this?
07:37If I lived across the street from you, that's what I would tell my children.
07:42That's what I would tell my children.
07:44They say, who is that lady?
07:45I say, there's a crazy old lady who lives across the street.
07:47Don't go near her.
07:48Number three, the most annoying person.
07:51This defendant has a great defense.
07:54However, you wouldn't know it from how many times she insists on speaking when it's not
07:58her turn.
07:59From here, you're going to get five nights if I find that she misrepresented the age.
08:04She already has received.
08:05Oh, okay.
08:06I'm not ready for you.
08:07Sorry.
08:08Being sued for false advertising over a cottage rental, defendant Ellen Schneiderman demands
08:14to be heard.
08:15Although she insists she's not sure when she should talk, this doesn't exactly stop her.
08:20Am I allowed to talk now?
08:22No.
08:23When I ask you a question, you'll talk, unless the figure he gave me is wrong.
08:26Well, that includes a refundable security deposit.
08:29Just a second.
08:30Everything the plaintiff says, she immediately counters, even after she's been warned repeatedly.
08:36She's lucky the judge doesn't throw her case out just because she's annoyed with her.
08:40In fact, Judge Judy tells her that right to her face.
08:44Listen to me.
08:45If what you do is interrupt, I'm just going to give him what he wants and throw you out.
08:48Do you understand?
08:49Yes.
08:50Okay.
08:51I can tell.
08:52You know, chill.
08:53Even Officer Bird tells her to shut up at one point.
08:55Number two.
08:56Hey, your daughter hit my car.
08:59In this case, school pickup almost ended in tragedy.
09:03Plaintiff Robin Brooke was picking up her sons when the defendant's daughter was crossing
09:07the street.
09:08Brooke hit the girl with her car, causing injury, but the worst was yet to come.
09:12And now what your lawsuit is, is you want her mother to pay for the mirror on your car.
09:18Yes, Your Honor.
09:21Brooke's side mirror was broken in the accident, and she wants recompense.
09:25Clearly, she's in need of a little perspective, and the judge does her best to provide it.
09:30She's not fixing your mirror.
09:33Get it through your head.
09:34She's not fixing your mirror.
09:36You should go like this.
09:37What a tragedy this could have been.
09:40Unfortunately, she seems to reject the idea that she's not the victim in this scenario.
09:45Yes, she agrees that so much worse could have happened here, but she still wants to be paid
09:50for her broken mirror.
09:51Well, it would be different if it was your son's clavicle.
09:54She ran into my vehicle.
09:56Your case is dismissed.
09:57We're done.

10:15$5,000 Haircut Plaintiff Carlos Campos has no chance.
10:20From the moment he walks in, the judge calls his lawsuit over a $10 haircut a complete
10:25waste of time.
10:26I'm a lawyer.
10:27Where?
10:28San Antonio, Texas.
10:29Hope you don't use that against me.
10:31No, I'm going to hold your lawsuit against you because it's stupid.
10:34He takes his complaint about his unsatisfactory haircut way too far, suing for the small claim's
10:40maximum of $5,000.
10:43Some people might just go for the refund, but apparently, this is a matter of principle
10:47for the plaintiff.
10:48This is a television courtroom.
10:51So we actually have fun doing sometimes ridiculous cases, which I'm sure is the reason you came
10:57here.
10:58Well, no, in America, we entitle different opinions.
10:59Just a second.
11:00Listen to me.
11:01Judge Judy can't identify any principles here.
11:04She pokes a little fun at Campos' hubris before sending him away with $10.
11:09And frankly, he should be thankful he got that much.
11:12I'm not trying to be great.
11:13You're trying to be cute.
11:14Good.
11:15You are cute.
11:16Mr. Campos, Mr. Campos, you are absolutely correct.
11:20That's why I have the job and you get $10.
11:23And that's the judgment of the court.
11:25How would you have ruled on these courtroom Karens?
11:27Let us know in the comments.
11:29And you want me to help you.
11:30I'd appreciate it.
11:31That's not happening.
11:32So I'm just out the money?
11:33You are.
11:34Do you agree with our picks?
