It’s funny that the plaintiff mentions ethics. I think he’s coming up a little short in that department.

[@Missegyptlatesha]

The plaintiff is a smart man pretending to be stupid. He understands what proof and evidence is he could have easily brought his chip into a computer repair shop to assess it for any damage and bring the documentation to court with him he's a con artist and I'm glad he got nothing

The cute defendant was just over there chilling. He seems like a sweet guy, so glad he wasn't responsible for paying that plaintiff.

[@ddnquestion1]

Downstairs Neighbor Is An Opportunist 😠

[@Mansoor_Ali]

So the plaintiff most likely stole electronic equipment (didn't have invoice), could not prove that the products were damaged and still got $800 from insurance and thought he should get more! If he's really in tech sales, the companies should see this video and decide if they want him representing them...

That's what I thought. If there's even a hint of water near any electronics or paper, I'll instinctively reach for it. Meanwhile this guy just leaves it there? A 900 dollar board in a box that he just leaves there under dripping water?

[@DanLee8884]

This seemed like a slam dunk if he could just show receipts, photos, videos, anything. "It's not like I show my clients that I buy cheap and up sell it to them..." Uh...it's called business records. You can have records and not show them to your clients. He definitely cheat on his taxes.

[@roni2977]

I felt sorry for the young student.. he obviously doesnt have the money, and it was a genuine mistake... the plaintiff comes across as a savage opportunist who wanted a brand new set of electronics... he didnt even bother removing his stuff.. cameras could have been dried out, that electronic card if removed quick the water wouldn't have made it inside it... plus those usually come wrapped in plastic... he came without proof what so ever and wanted to collect 4k ... no way Jose!

[@thebookwasbetter3650]

lol that's what I was wondering. Aren't those usually sealed in those pop tart foil bags?

[@Zera223]

Judge Milian is right, that plaintiff needs to have actual evidence.

[@NellieKAdaba]

[@Lilyrose23]

People like the plaintiff are amazing (in a bad way) they can denigrate anyone, even a judge while pleading for their cases 😂 he’s pretending that he’s smarter than the judge and student because he knows his words are proves, if it really happened, he could’ve went to a license expert who’ll testify that the items were damaged so severely with water that they can’t work.

[@14kchang]

I knew the plaintiff was a hustler. I think this could have been resolved civilly, but the plaintiff's approach to the situation was very catty to the point that it almost amounts to constant harassment of the other neighbors. In fact, the judge and I didn't believe the plaintiff at all because either this is all an act or he's just exacerbating.

[@patriciop18]

I mean I’m sure he figured dish soap and a dishwasher go together. Would make sense I’m sure if you had never used one before.

[@lilbutterfly6977]

@Paatrik Heart exactly! Which is why I had to defend the kid. Hell I've done it before. I've always been my own dishwasher until I stayed in beach house that had 1 & I couldn't find any dishwasher products... I caught the bubbles & turned it off when I saw what was happening, then cleaned up the mess. I later found packets that looked almost like sugar packets that were dishwasher powder.... would've been nice to know ahead of time but it's whatever. I wasn't even as young as this guy.

[@drayuh192]

@@patriciop18 true, my dish soap says "dishwashing liquid" on the bottle. If I've never used a dishwasher before I'd think it's all the same.

[@soloseraphimheartsong3710]

He came to court saying "I had damage", a couple of pictures that didn't prove anything and expected to get a judgment of $2,500? He was completely surprised that the Judge asked for actual proof. He would have gotten the same results almost anywhere else, not a damn thing.

2500? He asked for 4k 😂

[@chimayoshite]

pay me first and then I'll be happy to send you proof 🤣🤣🤣

[@James-134]

Him admitting that he didn't move everything out of the way of the leak to prevent damages means that he also committed insurance fraud lol one of the major things with insurance claims is that you did everything you could to prevent the damage from happening! Otherwise people would just be ruining their stuff all the time to collect insurance money

[@SilverSergeant]

That is not insurance fraud......He didn't cause the leak to damage his own stuff.

I wonder if his electronics were broken before or after he put them in the water. If he messed them up by putting them in the water that's hilarious because he got nothing 🤣

[@c.jenn01]

I'd actually question anything being broken at all. His only proof of damage to the court are pics of 2 cameras just sitting on a table, water spots on the front of a thermostat and a electronic card that he admitted works, but may break in the future. SMH.

[@DonziGT230]

Many years ago my friend put dish soap in the dishwasher, it was quite a show. Because it was more watery than the dishwasher stuff he figured it was less concentrated and used a lot of it. When I saw the wall of suds crawling out of the kitchen we stopped the machine and cleaned everything. I told him we needed to get it all out of the machine, "nah, it should be fine now". A few minutes later I see the sud monster coming at us, damn. And it happened a third time before he finally realized that it wasn't going to stop. We pulled the dishes and he washed them while I cleared out the machine. When his wife and her sisters got home they were so happy with the great kitchen cleaning we'd done. "Wow, you guys even cleaned all the cabinets, you're so awesome!"

[@sandwichman100]

[@andrewryder3075]

This plaintiff is a TOTAL opportunist! If he "works in tech", he SHOULD be aware that solid state electronics (unless there's actually power running through them at the time) can be TOTALLY SUBMERGED in water, and, as long as they're completely dried before being powered up, will suffer NO damage - so his "boxed Avaya IP500 PRI card" will be FINE once it dries off. I have cleaned computer motherboards in an ultrasonic cleaner under 2½ gallons of water (after removing the CMOS battery) for YEARS and all of them are still working to this day. Moreover, I have a friend who regularly cleans his computer keyboards using a dishwasher. The basic rule for solid-state circuitry exposed to water is: as long as it's dry before you power it up, it'll be just fine.

In reference to the after case conversation about finding a lawyer. I used the same firm on 2 different occasions. Everything was perfect. I reached out to the same firm ( 2 previous lawyers had passed) to redo a Will. Specifically to file 2 things for me. I was quoted the fee and agreed. Upon going over the completed documents, I noticed 1 of the 2 I Specifically called about was missing. He said he didn't receive it, although I pointed it out that moment that it was in front of him ( my original). He said it would cost X amt more. I was livid bit calm. He went to draw it up and while he was gone, the witness in the signing ( another lawyer) said if I had spoken with her, she would have informed me that I did not need a lawyer to redo these documents. I could have changed and filed on my own for $35 ×2. I paid $800. He is a disgrace to the firm that the 2 previous lawyers helped to build. If asked for legal document filing referrals, I tell them what I know now and tell them to steer clear of this guy. The female lawyer went to another firm.
