Being Sticky Fingered

The plaintiff says she hired the defendant, an event planner, to organize a birthday bash and fundraiser for a daycare playground. She claims the party was a mess and says the defendant stole cash donations, so she’s suing for the money. The defendant denies taking any money, and she’s countersuing for unpaid party-planning fees.

[@mikesteele05]

I’m very confused by this whole scenario. Let’s do some math… This is a private business holding a fundraiser to make improvements to the business. If 70 people were there at $50 a person, that’s a total of $3,500 coming in. Why would you then take $1,800 of that $3,500 and give it to someone who you claim was only hired to “set up” the tables. Subtract the party planning fee from the total, and that means you’re only actually raising $1,700 toward your playground. Anyone with a hot glue gun and a few hours could’ve made those drag-queen-earring-looking centerpieces for the party. Take your $1,800 and invest it into the playground for your own business and stop charging your friends to go to your birthday party! …All that said, the defendant had one of the worst attitudes I’ve ever seen on this show.

[@opheliamaples]

@Mike Steele. It seems like "pay for your plate and bring a present too" birthday parties are becoming a thing. Feels greedy and crass to me and I wouldn't subject my friends to that. If I want my guests to help cover the cost of my party, I shouldn't be expecting a gift from them as well.

[@tytaylor8762]

The plaintiff is very lucky that she was awarded any money. There were so many mistakes from the start. There should have been a detailed written list of what the party planner was supposed to do and provide. Also there was no written contract and the biggest mistake was not having one particular person assigned to the door and taking the payments. All around this was a fiasco waiting to happen

[@missy4804]

I was glad when that plaintiff won some of her money. The defender is so full of negative energy.

[@INDIGO.GODDESS_573]

Yea.. She was a FOOL not to have a person she knew and TRUSTED receiving the money.. Sadly, With money involved.. even if it's somebody you trust.. IT'S Still a RISK..

Especially since she said that she had already arranged everything else herself. The plaintiffs attitude was disgusting and uncalled for. I believe that they pocketed the money

[@chaycesmom1212]

It was also a party for herself... but I get your point. Guess she really wanted a party

[@pariswright7094]

The party was for the plaintiff, she added the notion that it was a fundraiser; probably in order to justify asking people to pay to attend her party, and to write the extra expenses off as business expenses.

“And she’s a cat killer too!!” I am dead! 😂😂😂

[@Shaikhofilm]

The defendant really failed her job in organizing the party, where the money was embezzled and no account was kept on who showed up. And according to the case, she also pocketed funds that were meant to be expenses for the party, and may have stolen the funds herself that was collected at the door - that she blames on her uncle. I don’t think it was the plaintiffs responsibility to keep track of the collections at the door- that’s why she hired the defendant. Mistake by the plaintiff to trust and hire someone that embezzled. Certainly she has a right to try to recover her funds. According to the defendants own words, there were 50 people there meaning $2500 should have been collected - not $350 . Means at least $2150 was taken. And additional embezzlement on expenses. The defendant now becomes well known as a thief.

[@scamchan]

"I don’t think it was the plaintiffs responsibility to keep track of the collections at the door" If the plaintiff can't be responsible enough to monitor funds at her own party - then she probably expected to be stolen from.
