About this episode
First, the plaintiff owned a bird store for 33 years. The defendants, her customers, ended up stealing a bird from her and now they refuse to pay her. The defendants claim she begged them to take it out of her store because the bird was so nervous, it plucked all its feathers off. They have no idea why the plaintiff has filed this lawsuit. Then, the plaintiff was driving his taxi during the night shift, and the defendants didn’t obey a traffic sign and crashed into him. When he pulled over to inspect the damage, the defendants rushed him like they were going to beat him up. He thinks the driver was drunk. The cops gave him a ticket and he’s suing them here today for cost of the ticket. The defendants claim the accident was all the plaintiff’s fault because he saw him entering the highway, sped up to get in front of him, and then darted into his lane. Plus, the plaintiff complained to the defendant, her landlord, about repairs that needed to be made to her apartment. The defendant didn’t fix anything; instead, he started an eviction proceeding against her and then entered her apartment and threw her belongings into a dumpster. The defendant says the plaintiff gave him story after story while she was having trouble paying the rent, so he did what any landlord who was not getting paid would do.
