Fudging your roomate

On Thursday (9-22) we were introduced to a plaintiff suing her ex roomate Mr. Fudge (and if anyone needed a name change, it would be him!). Seems Mr. Fudge stole from her including money, birthday money, cosmetics, and computers. He also didn't bathe and kept urine in his room. Sounds like everyone's ideal roomie, no?

Well JJ was not satisfied with anything the plaintiff had to say since she had no legitimate proof except for what she 'believed'.

My question - since she believed he was stealing everything from her, why in the world would she leave 'birthday cards with cash sticking out of them' on a mantle they shared, why would she leave valuables such as computers, cosmetics, her wallet, etc out in the open in the space which they were sharing? Seemed a bit fishy to me. Why didn't she keep all her valuables - especially cash! - locked away in her room? Why leave it out for others to have access to each day - especially when you 'went away on vacation' for a week???

It didn't make any sense to me.

In this context, all she is required to go on is what she believes. Or thinks. Or feels. Or imagines. That's the criteria for judging these cases. It's not a court, it's binding arbitration that doesn't even follow the established rules for real life binding arbitration.

It's entertainment, not a legitimate courtroom.

He actually admitted to peeing in bottles because he's sometimes too lazy to go to the bathroom in his exit interview. Proudly with no shame.

Some people thrive on negative attention.

Unfortunately. I couldn't. I'm a grown woman but my mom would have beat my ass once for peeing in bottles and then again for embarrassing myself and her on national television.

Like I said, 'an ideal roommate'.

He didn't bathe, and didn't use the toilet - so she had the bathroom all to herself! Which is great when you have a roomie.

I have dealt with people in The Marine Corps that were "hygienically challenged". The cure for that is spontananeous personal hygiene class where five Marines drag Pigpen into the shower and scrub his funky azz with hard bristle scrub brushes and a jug of pine oil cleaner. Usually one time will do it, but then you have Hodson. It's been 25 years, and I still recall the stench.
