The Plaintiff was sweating bullets of guilt when Judge Milian started grilling him about the alleged electronics. Clearly lying and thought he was going to get a big pay day with no proof.

[@tchevrier]

she went in to have a shower in the morning and turned on both hot water and cold. When the hot water stopped flowing and it turned cold as she said, she likely just turned off the the cold water and forgot about the hot water because it wasn't flowing. I'm not sure what kind of diverter she has, but often the tub spigot has a little lever that you lift to make the water come out of the shower. When the water is off, the lever drops. When the water is turned on the water will come out of the spigot. That all said, it's amazing how any time there is a leak or something spills, all the computer equipment and video games are somehow in the direct path.

[@jewelmamar968]

Good Analysis of the Situation!

[@janicester]

That was my first thought. She tried the water and nothing came out. She didn't turn the tap back off and left the apartment. Water gets turned back on and the rest is history!

[@thebookwasbetter3650]

I know what happened. The girlfriend turned on the hot and cold water. The hot water stopped so it felt cold. She turned off the cold and since the hot wasn't running, she didn't bother to turn the hot faucet off. Then when the plumbers turned the hot water back on, it filled up the tub while they were out. Same thing happened in our building, although there was no damage, just an angry landlord with a large water bill for the month.

[@angeloc7486]

But the hot side would also just give cold water. So didn’t she then also had to turn that side off ?

[@thebookwasbetter3650]

@@angeloc7486 nope. Hot side would not run at all. The heat wasnt turned off, the water was. I know bc i live in an old building and experience the same thing

[@James-134]

Plaintiff definitely was trying to make a bonanza out of this situation, not letting the guy see the damages... bringing no evidence to court... he barely deserved what he ended up with

[@lukerinderknecht2982]

I don't blame him for not showing the damages until the defendant admits guilt. The defendant is much more likely to deny responsibility once he sees the extent of the water damage.

[@getin3949]

I'd like to see him try to buy a new mattress for a lousy $750.00. I think the judge didn't give him enough to replace the mattress even if it was used.

[@jenniferbart3060]

In court you don’t get replacement cost. You get the cost of the used item at the time of loss. $750 was very generous with no proof

Before I even heard about the (probably plastic laminate) "wood" floor, I determined that the plaintiff is a grifter...... because he said the magic word: "Laptop". It's always a laptop because that's the most expensive electronic people can think of when they want to lie about damages. Then he took it a step further (and the judge called him out on it!): Laptop, playstations, game cartridges, all piled in exactly the right spot. Yeah, he should have been "taxed" $750 for trying to scam the defendant.

[@jojobee42]

It's gonna cost more than $750 to fix a water damage.. But $750 is still better than nothing.

[@sharifsalem]

They clearly left the taps open full blast and most shower tub combos the water will automatically divert after a shower back to the lower spigot. It’s literally how any shower tub system had worked for the last 50 years in the US.

I have a switch to go bath or shower and it stays on shower in my bathroom and bath in my sons bathroom so not all tubs divert back
