She’s so rude. The pool was absolutely disgusting and hasn’t been cleaned in a long time. She wanted a full job for a half ass price. She wants to argue with a professional about what needed to be done. The guy has been doing the pools in the neighborhood for many years and you’re the only complaint. I knew this would go south when she followed his truck instead of asking for the number from the neighbor
I cant believe the judge is letting this lady take the time to get evidence she should have brought . Why does she pick and choose who she allows to do this, when sometimes she just says well this is what we call the day of court....
She explains it at 11:30. "You're about to lose, *even though I think you're right*." That's why she allowed plaintiff to get more time - judge thinks plaintiff is right. Long story short, judge is acting in good faith by giving plaintiff an opportunity to get what she needs to seal the deal.
Plaintiff was incredibly indignant, especially for how much work they did for her! I'm surprised JM allowed her to stand with her cellphone like that for so long.
The plaintiff is nuts. The testimony given by the guy and the reason for not installing the chlorinator is reasonable if the debris is not cleaned out of the pool. He also said that it was not even connected when he arrived in the first place, which is on the other pool guy. She should not have gotten a dime back if she cut it off before the job was complete.
The plaintiff is a Karen. Plain and simple I don't know why she bothered with the pool. She should've just used that space for a garden. Would've been much cheaper and less stressful
I see people filling in pools and I think of all the ideas you could draw on for a sunken room or a roofed recreation space with a fountain or whatever . Use your imagination . How about a secluded hot tub with bar and lounge area I don’t know , but Something !
“My eyes witness these things, that’s not heresy.” Oh maaaan, if every ruling is based on ‘i saw it with my own eyes’ the entire court system would cease to exist 😂
Exactly right. She doesn't cover it and it should to deal with the NY fall season & the winter. I grew up with a pool in my backyard. We took care of it ourselves & conducted seasonal maintenance. That's the difference between hard working Brooklynites & lazy arse LI housewives & homemakers.
I’ve worked with pools, my moms worked with pools, my mom has a pool it’s in amazing shape. There’s no point having chlorine running to the pool if the pool is full of debris and junk. Get the debris out, shock the pool a few times, vacuum, shock it again and then add chlorine. Or the best route, empty the pool, deep clean the pool, add new water, chlorine, go on with your life. It’s not difficult to take care of a pool
If you have a lot of big oak trees in your yard, your pool cover and pool will have a lot of leaves, branches, debris, when you open it in April. I had lots of huge trash barrels that i would fill up with leaves and 2-wheel them across the street to the woods. As far as backwashing, those trashbarrels would be full of that swampy pool water, & 2-wheeled to the woods. I usually dropped about $200 on pool chemicals, acid wash the filter, which included lots of shock and it would take me about 2 days to get the pool water perfect. I would start getting the leaves off the cover in March. When i finally cut down the huge oak trees, i had plenty of firewood for my wood stove and it only took me 12 hours to get my pool clean.
Said her pool guy couldn't do the work because he was hurt. Then later he does the work? Said he always charged 250.00, but that would be going up. Then he charged her 250.00? Tiny amount but she still won. How does the judge ignore such obvious lies, then say she believes her.
I swear. If the pool has been sitting for years, fixing it requires a lot of work. The Plaintiff wanted to pay for something that physically wasn't possible until the pool was clean. What the hell. Dead animals?
So, she wants the judge to just take her word as an “eyewitness”, despite the fact that anything she says regarding a lawsuit that *she* filed, will be completely self-serving? Yeah, okay lady. 🙄
Want a HUGE headache? Own a swimming pool! I had a 100K gal clover leaf shape pool when i lived in Ormond Beach, Florida. NEVER again! For the little use they get the expense is horrendous!! And if you think a pool enhances the property value you're WRONG! People in that price range aren't generally stupid and actually AVOID homes with pools because they already KNOW the hassles! SKIP OWNING ONE!!
The plaintiff should have gotten 3 different pool companies to come out to survey the pool and its equipment and then give her written estimates w/cap for getting the pool open and up to speed.
@@katiemilady4232 At 7:20 you can see the cell-phone photo of her pool with a custom pool cover on it. There is a lot of leaves, branches & pollen on top of the cover. All of that needs to be taken off the cover, by the pool owner, then the pool needs to be vacumed and the pool filter needs to be backwashed and all of the dirty water needs to be pumped out to the street or woods. Then its time to have the filter acid-washed and then you put pool chemicals and plenty of shock over a 2 day period and it will be perfect. This guy was charging top dollar on everything. I did everythingmy self for 20 years before i sold my house.
@@richardmilliken8705 I agree. I have somewhat poor eyesight now, even with my glasses. But I grew up with a pool in our backyard. My uncle and I did everything. Preparing it for the season, vacuuming, chemicals, filter, closing it for the season...everything. and I was a teenager at the time.
Not only is she difficult and trying to cheat the pool guys after all that work. But they had to remove DEAD ANIMALS. So, that is above and beyone work they did- and her negligence with her pool cover caused those animals to have a terrible death. I really really dislike that lady
8:15 What she was talking about putting in the pool can’t work if the pool, pipes, and sand filter aren’t cleaned out. There’s no point in hooking up the cholrinator before the other work is done.
Geez, the plantiff's attitude.... That was a lot of work she needed done and she was just too cheap to want to pay. Take better care of your property if you don't want to spend the money on other people picking up after you
Still. They were unprofessional as well. Lack of pictures of the pool before the work and they should quote the price upfront. "It's gonna cost you this much to have the pool in working condition".
i "invested" in an above ground 18 ft. pool when my gran'daughter was a wee lil sprout...DID NOT HAVE A CLUE!! about pool "maintenance" but i figured it out and learned all by myself. go me....it really did get disgusting from one season to the other and that was with a cover....again---EDUCATED myself and in no time at all, pool was clean, pristine and ready to go again...don't know why it's so hard for people to educate THEMSELVES anymore...."i can't..." isn't an option until i KNOW ---- i can't.....
I grew up with a pool, and had to open ours up every spring. we had a backyard full of birches and maples, and it never looked anywhere near that bad. I bet it had been like that for more than a year. With our old sand system, once the thing was cleared out it took at least a week to get the water to clear. There's no point in having a chlorinator on when it is that murky, all you'd do is waste the chlorine pucks. You have to shock it, clear it, backwash it. And at each stage, you have to leave it alone for a day or two to let things work. It takes two weeks on a messy pool- if you want it faster, you can pay to have a company set up a portable industrial filter to blast though it. It costs a fortune.
Her old pool guy mickey moused everything and now it was time to pay the reaper. I had several huge 40 ft oak trees, that dropped a ton of leaves, branches, dead animals, and pollen on top of my pool cover.I would start in March, getting all of that crap off the cover & by april, i started to vacum all of the crap at the bottom of the pool and by May, i would start putting my chemicals/shock in the pool and my filter was always acid-washed before i opened it every season. It took me 3-4 days tops to get the pool water clear. Once i took the trees down, it took me 12-16 hours to get the water clear. These pool guys were charging her top dollar every step of the way. When the water is warmed up with the solar cover, the chemicals work quickly.
2 weeks is about right, ours was improperly closed and was a mess that took that long to clear up. From a swamp to baja blast to Fresca to clear in the shallow, to finally clear all the way. Not fun, but we’ll be sure it’s closed right next time. They didn’t even ask where the peg things are the hook attaches to. We were out of the country when it was closed and only got back a few weeks prior to when you’d open so couldn’t fix or mitigate the problem at that point. Smdh.. but pools are worth it in the end imo. Just need to know who you’re dealing with or know how to do it yourself
"Hello, you have reached flaky guy pool service. Leave a message, I'll probably get back to you sometime." The guy runs a pool service, you'd think a business owner these days would have a phone with them where they can be reached. It's not the 1970s.
This is the same guy who closed her pool presumably. In a manner which was disastrous, her she trusts him to keep working on her pool. Make it make sense
My family is all from Queens and they're all the same unfortunately. You can cut the anxiety with a knife! I laugh at how nervy they are from when small town people come on the show. By the way, the woman should be ashamed with even hiring someone to clean that toilet bowl of a pool! Yuck.
8:30-8:41 Plaintiff: I have pictures of how the pool should look. Judge: I know what a pool should look like. Plaintiff: It should be clear, you should be able to see the bottom. Judge: Yeah. Really?! That judge is quite attractive and smart too. I love her.
If i was asked to open a filthy, disgusting pool, I would have taken pictures-- MANY pictures. ~~Isn't it interesting how the plaintiff *never* said one word about how dirty her pool was before this guy's crew started?
I think he is too!! I see people bitching about him all the time in the comments saying he tries to push them to be more upset. THATS HIS JOB!! I think sometimes he makes me groan sometimes he makes me laugh. But more laughing for sure!!
The defendant under quoted the estimate to clean up her pool, and then the plaintiff got upset when the costs added up to more. Perhaps the defendants could have stopped earlier and canceled the job when they knew it was going to end up costing much more. The plaintiff can’t get her money back for the work the defendants did.
EnTITLED. "I SAW it your Honour- THAT MAKES IT TRUE!" Hmm. Maybe not, this time, Karen. When she first started talking I thought it was some kind of special municipal pool for the public or special needs- not just a regular domestic back yard version. Like the comment below- she had neglected that pool into a complete mess and needed and wanted a cheap as chips complete pool overhaul.... uh uh.
I seems to me like this lady wanted to open her pool for the summer, her usual pool guy was laid up recovering from hip surgery and she hired this guy and it turned out that her pool needed quite a bit of repairs to prepare it for the summer and she lost patience and sued them. Only she can't prove that its JUST $250 either because she lacks that proof from her other guy. She seems very impatient and impulsive. She wants it NOW and the guy can't give it to her NOW because her pool was nasty and full of debris. Maybe if she kept her pool covered better during the off-season, she wouldn't have to spend so much time and money clearing it out in the summer.
I followed them aka stalked them lol, but it was only a few blocks, oh well in that case! She crayyyyyycrayyyy! Why didnt she just call the number on the van, or look the company up, or even walk across the street and ask them. Not chase them down the road when you see them leave, that's weird behavior.
She knows nothing. Clarifier is a total different job to changing the sand. Also the cover doesn't totally prevent debris etc. I am in Australia and last summer after a long drought, a colleague who lives in a more country area, had 5 kangaroos in the pool despite the cover. due to drought they were looking for water.
Judges love to act all knowing. Like they're experts on all topics. She sounded ridiculous arguing with the pool guy on how to do his job. She would lose it if HE told her how to do her job.
Ummm judge wasn't arguing that clarifier would fix it the plaintiff was. And if you own a pool and open up your own pool LIKE A NORMAL PERSON you will have knowledge of how it works. She was surprised he hadn't hooked up the CHLORINATOR which you need to get your water where it has to be to keep your pool clean. Two completely different things!! She is actually one of the best about deferring to someone when she doesn't know so I'm not sure what you are talking about.
I don't understand the plantiff you kick the defendant out from cleaning your pool and get upset that they didn't connect whatever needed to be connect...you told them to stop working...
The plaintiff needs to understand that it’s the ASSESSMENT that’s hearsay, not the fact that she saw that the chlorinator wasn’t hooked up. Dan the mystery pool guy needs to testify that the defendant installed piping that wouldn’t allow for the chlorinator to work at ALL, therefore proving that the defendant did faulty work and caused her pool to remain cloudy. What the judge is trying to explain is that there’s a big difference between “the defendant didn’t hook up the chlorinator” and “the defendant messed up the piping in such a way that the chlorinator COULDN’T be hooked up. That’s what she meant when she said “You only know that because someone else told you, which is hearsay.”
That lady only heard what she WANTED to hear. Judge coulda sat all day and explained it to her in kindergarten terms with crayons and small words and she still wouldn’t get it. Cause she understood all right...she just didn’t want to HEAR it.
The pool had been mickey moused for years & now it came time to pay the reaper. It needed a new filter & super pump and PVC piping & valves. Granted these new pool guys were charging top dollar and her particular pool had all kinds of trees around that dropped leaves, branches, and pollen on top of the pool and there were open gaps around the perimeter of the pool where a lot of the leaves, branches, dead animals were in the pool water. There's a lot of work involved when you have lots of oak trees. Everything has to be taken off the pool cover and the pool needs to be thoroughly vacumed before you start applying chemicals and getting the pool water warmed up with a solar cover so the chemicals work better. No trees and it takes 12 hours tops to open a pool and get the water clear. My oak trees were dying and i cut them down and i had enough firewood for 8 years for my woodstove.
I totally agree with the judge’s ruling. Pools aren’t that easy to care for, especially once you’ve let it get so bad. The parts to the pool, and filter also have to be kept in good shape because they don’t last forever. This includes the filtration system.
Should not put in chlorinator before cleaning, that is how you clog/damage the chlorinator causing more work. Get things up and going and then let the clean(ish) water run to the chlorinator.
Always trying to get stuff for free. Why did she allow her pool to get so dirty and she is lazy can’t go outside and get some leaves out before it gets that dirty. Oink!
She thought she’d win and use that money to pay the other guy who MOST LIKELY was gonna charge way more than $200. When JM gave her time to call him for proof of the charge, she didn’t want to because it would contradict what she was claiming in court
I didn't see her acting like a pool cleaning expert. She sounded like someone with a pool and if you open your own pool you do know what it takes to get it ready. You don't need to be an "expert" just a pool owner. In fact I never heard of hiring someone to open your pool. I guess in MI we are all just DIY'ers
I have a pool and eight bags of leaves just shows she didn’t have that pool covered in the off season, that’s just lazy and $2400 is not a lot to pay for all that mess he described
The lady wanted to only pay cheap for the work. And then her regular guy is doing the same work. She needs to know what is going on for her upkeep of her pool.
Plaintiff thinks that because she saw the work, she is qualified to judge what was necessary. If so, you clean the pool that you didn't bother to maintain, lol.
That plaintiff seems like an exhausting person to deal with...
Yes
I think the defendant is an old-school businessman. He's nice. I'd record everything with this kinda person! Wowzah.

Like the comment below- she had neglected that pool into a complete mess and needed and wanted a cheap as chips complete pool overhaul.... uh uh.
I seems to me like this lady wanted to open her pool for the summer, her usual pool guy was laid up recovering from hip surgery and she hired this guy and it turned out that her pool needed quite a bit of repairs to prepare it for the summer and she lost patience and sued them. Only she can't prove that its JUST $250 either because she lacks that proof from her other guy. She seems very impatient and impulsive. She wants it NOW and the guy can't give it to her NOW because her pool was nasty and full of debris. Maybe if she kept her pool covered better during the off-season, she wouldn't have to spend so much time and money clearing it out in the summer.
Why didn’t he pluck that part on his wig?! 😩😒
they kill me trying to tell the judge her job. lady your whole case was hear-say 🙄😂
I kind of enjoy when the Judge mimics the crazy litigants
I LOOOVE Judge Milian!! Best TV Judge EVER!
NOT!!!!
I followed them aka stalked them lol, but it was only a few blocks, oh well in that case! She crayyyyyycrayyyy! Why didnt she just call the number on the van, or look the company up, or even walk across the street and ask them. Not chase them down the road when you see them leave, that's weird behavior.
She was hoping the guy would do it off the books but with the company equipment...
Oh boy, I can tell the plaintiff is a nightmare. I would not come near her.
She knows nothing. Clarifier is a total different job to changing the sand. Also the cover doesn't totally prevent debris etc. I am in Australia and last summer after a long drought, a colleague who lives in a more country area, had 5 kangaroos in the pool despite the cover. due to drought they were looking for water.
I would totally Love to see a pix of 5 kangaroos just hanging out in a pool!
Judges love to act all knowing. Like they're experts on all topics. She sounded ridiculous arguing with the pool guy on how to do his job. She would lose it if HE told her how to do her job.
@@kristic4472 They were dead, not just hanging out. They drowned, as they got in but couldn't get out
@@kittyb275 She probably has a pool and has some knowledge. enough to know if he is trying to make up stories
Ummm judge wasn't arguing that clarifier would fix it the plaintiff was. And if you own a pool and open up your own pool LIKE A NORMAL PERSON you will have knowledge of how it works. She was surprised he hadn't hooked up the CHLORINATOR which you need to get your water where it has to be to keep your pool clean. Two completely different things!!
She is actually one of the best about deferring to someone when she doesn't know so I'm not sure what you are talking about.
I don't understand the plantiff you kick the defendant out from cleaning your pool and get upset that they didn't connect whatever needed to be connect...you told them to stop working...
not her trying to tell him what he should do 🤣 I would've been like well what you need me here for miss lmaooooo
Judge: HOW LONG DID IT TOOK YOU TO DO WHAT YOU JUST SAID!!!!!
Defendant : Aah coupe D’ss............ 7:23
she was used to pay 250 to open her pool but agreed to pay 1kplus come on now she knew dam well her pool was a mess nd needed alot of work
The plaintiff needs to understand that it’s the ASSESSMENT that’s hearsay, not the fact that she saw that the chlorinator wasn’t hooked up. Dan the mystery pool guy needs to testify that the defendant installed piping that wouldn’t allow for the chlorinator to work at ALL, therefore proving that the defendant did faulty work and caused her pool to remain cloudy. What the judge is trying to explain is that there’s a big difference between “the defendant didn’t hook up the chlorinator” and “the defendant messed up the piping in such a way that the chlorinator COULDN’T be hooked up. That’s what she meant when she said “You only know that because someone else told you, which is hearsay.”
That lady only heard what she WANTED to hear. Judge coulda sat all day and explained it to her in kindergarten terms with crayons and small words and she still wouldn’t get it. Cause she understood all right...she just didn’t want to HEAR it.
even her eyewitness statement though is hearsay as she could say anything, she needs proof and her saying she saw it is not proof.
The pool had been mickey moused for years & now it came time to pay the reaper. It needed a new filter & super pump and PVC piping & valves. Granted these new pool guys were charging top dollar and her particular pool had all kinds of trees around that dropped leaves, branches, and pollen on top of the pool and there were open gaps around the perimeter of the pool where a lot of the leaves, branches, dead animals were in the pool water. There's a lot of work involved when you have lots of oak trees.
Everything has to be taken off the pool cover and the pool needs to be thoroughly vacumed before you start applying chemicals and getting the pool water warmed up with a solar cover so the chemicals work better. No trees and it takes 12 hours tops to open a pool and get the water clear. My oak trees were dying and i cut them down and i had enough firewood for 8 years for my woodstove.
I totally agree with the judge’s ruling. Pools aren’t that easy to care for, especially once you’ve let it get so bad. The parts to the pool, and filter also have to be kept in good shape because they don’t last forever. This includes the filtration system.
Should not put in chlorinator before cleaning, that is how you clog/damage the chlorinator causing more work. Get things up and going and then let the clean(ish) water run to the chlorinator.
Always trying to get stuff for free. Why did she allow her pool to get so dirty and she is lazy can’t go outside and get some leaves out before it gets that dirty. Oink!
She was WADDLING to the podium, I doubt she could "Swim".
OMGoodness I would absolutely loose my mind dealing with either of these litigants 🤦🏽♀️
She thought she’d win and use that money to pay the other guy who MOST LIKELY was gonna charge way more than $200. When JM gave her time to call him for proof of the charge, she didn’t want to because it would contradict what she was claiming in court
Plaintiffs original pool guy was the one who probably did all the shoddy work beforehand and why he was so cheap on cost...you get what you pay for!
I've helped clean a pool when the cover broke, it's hell.
30 yrs in swimming pools, that pool company is bang on. The plaintiff is one of those pain in the behind pool owners.
Lady is nuts
Good gawd that was the longest most boring story in the history of boring stories.
This lady doesn’t know anything about a pool. I’ve had two! Plus took care of mine for years and finally got a pool person!
now if a business man doesn’t go the extra mile to fix what he sees wrong she’s really be back saying he did do what was paid for
Why is the judge acting like a pool cleaning expert? I don't get why she had to get $100. They put in the work.
I didn't see her acting like a pool cleaning expert. She sounded like someone with a pool and if you open your own pool you do know what it takes to get it ready. You don't need to be an "expert" just a pool owner. In fact I never heard of hiring someone to open your pool. I guess in MI we are all just DIY'ers
Don’t understand why she decides to call a recess and gives the plaintiff time to gather additional evidence.
Ew her face after the judge tells her to put her hand down! 🤮
Girlfriend,…that’s THE definition of hearsay. Jesus f’ng Christ. 😑 😣 How embarrassing for her.
Wouldn't it make sense to buy a hard top for the pool? These "tarps" seem to be worthless.
So Long Island. "He lives in Suffolk County" LOL
Once they start having a difficult talking in a complete sentence you know they're making it up as they go along
Okay Karen calm down that good for her take that 100🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you're going to wear a toupee .... get a good one.
Omg I was thinking the same 🎱
t4705mb6 yeah as bad as those tarantalia eye lashes, smh!!!
LOL.....haha haha hah hah....I know right. I spotted that thing BEFORE he even walked into the courtroom! You can see that from {8} blocks away....LOL
Why so rude?
I have a pool and eight bags of leaves just shows she didn’t have that pool covered in the off season, that’s just lazy and $2400 is not a lot to pay for all that mess he described
Why did they agree to do the job? Not worth the hassle!
Whatcha gonna do judge? Chlorinate Bugs, small animals, 3 tons of leaves? Gotta clean out the crap, then chlorinate
She’s raising her hand and making that stupid face..”
I was shocked that the judge recessed to allow the plaintiff to get her proof.
That pool looked filthy
Oh my word the Plaintiff is ANNOYING!, Good heaven lady chill.
The lady wanted to only pay cheap for the work. And then her regular guy is doing the same work. She needs to know what is going on for her upkeep of her pool.
Her posture at the stand pissed me off straight attitude
This lady is annoying, I don’t believe there was even another pool cleaner with a hip replacement.
"Those of you who think you know it all are very annoying to those of us who do."
---a large sign on the Defendants living room wall.
You need evidence when you go into any court. If you have no evidence you end up losing, like you did. Learn thr laws!
Plaintiff doesn't understand "hearsay" in a courtroom.
I can't stop looking at the pool man's wig/Toupee!
Me too. Toupees are way more distracting than plain bald heads.
Plaintiff thinks that because she saw the work, she is qualified to judge what was necessary. If so, you clean the pool that you didn't bother to maintain, lol.
She had a swamp. All that work. Did she ever do any maintenance
That pool was disgusting, I can't believe she expected to have that cleaned for only 300.00.
If someone doesn't help you help them, don't even bother.
Aren't affidavits basically considered hearsay from some judges?
Customers expect professionals to do a standard job to an unkempt pool and they get angry when it can't be done. Piece of advice. Maintain your pool.
I love the judge ‼️‼️
Ali g and Heisenberg in street crowd
I was looking for this comment...I wondered if anyone else noticed Heisenburg and Ali G lol! 🤣
Who and who? I might kind of know but I'm not sure.
She wanted all that work for free what a hack
