Ep 82. When Old Friends Become New Roommates; Frightened Painter Walks Off Job?

When old friends decide to become roommates, things can get complicated quickly. In this episode of Judge Judy, two former high school buddies move in together, but the arrangement quickly turns sour. One roommate claims that the other is messy and loud, while the other insists that the first is overly finicky and uncommunicative. Judge Judy listens to both sides of the story, but it quickly becomes clear that these two friends were perhaps better off as just that—friends.

The second case on this episode involves a painter who was allegedly too scared to complete a job. The plaintiff hired the defendant to paint their home, but by the second day on the job, the painter walked off without completing the work. The painter claims that the plaintiff's dog attacked him and he felt unsafe continuing, but the plaintiff contends that their dog is docile and would never harm anyone. Judge Judy must determine whether or not the painter's fear was reasonable and if they are owed any compensation for the incomplete work.

Throughout the episode, Judge Judy brings her signature no-nonsense approach to the bench, cutting through the drama and getting to the heart of each case.
