    There are several things that I have a problem with Judge Judy about. She is in such a rush that she makes horrible decisions and remarks based on her ignorance of life outside of her bubble. An example is S1 E54, the Storage Container Wars. She was constantly downgrading the lady for paying 6400 for 6 storage containers. She felt that the lady was making a bad business decision. The lady could care less about the mess around the storage containers as long as the guy could clean things up and make the storage containers available. It is clear that Judge Judy has lived a life of luxury and has no idea how rednecks and farmers live.

    These storage containers are a big business as they are a portable storage for several things. It is valuable to farmers when they want to store feed, tools, and various other things that farmers store. Mechanics and several businesses use them for portable storage. They can move these things around. This is a huge business. Someone like this lady buys them cheap and it looks like she paid about $1000 per container. Empty out these containers and put together a website or Facebook page and you can sell these for for $2000-4000 each. I think that is a great business. Would you jump at getting into a business that you can triple your money that you invest in less than a month?? Heck yeah. One person dies and the auction place wants to clear the land of these things to sell the land and make money on the farm. This lady wants the containers.

    The local people around there want the junk and they will sift through what is there, hoping to find something of value that is an antique or something. This is just one area where the judge was too quick to make a ruling and wanted to stay as the number one person to have total control at the risk of not understanding what is going on. She failed to understand. However, too bad she did not get it in writing or at least capture in text message that the containers would be empty and ready to go, so she could come and get the containers.

    When it comes to people in that industry, people pay each other in cash. That is how they do things. You clearly are out of touch with the working man/woman and have no idea of how they live or do business. I do think the guy was a little wishful thinking about how much money he could have made. However, if he had worked faster and concentrated on getting his junk out of the way of them getting the containers, then he could have gotten to the stuff that was behind the trailers.

    He should have focused more on what he needed to do. His counterclaim was in retaliation of her bringing a suit. She seen the video of the containers and should have seen all the stuff piled up in the way of getting the containers out. 2 weeks goes by quick. She should have asked him straight out if he was going to have that out of the way so she could get the containers. If he can't move that stuff, then the containers are useless to her. He could not meet demands, and due to his inability to handle his business, she lost the containers. It was his fault.

    I noticed that she becomes very unfair now, is one case when that one guy complained about the cats from the other neighbor, Judge Judy was impressed with this one guy because he takes care of his mother, his mother's car was parked to block in the one who wants to get out the one with the cats, truly said he should have been able to get around this car anyway. He should have managed, if she blocks me in like that, I have a towed., She lies herself on national TV, she has two children. And as far as I could see, one grandchild, from her former marriage, the other three children she claims the other twelve grandchildren are her present husband's. Children and grandchildren. She never had five children and thirteen grandchildren. That's a lie, so the Judge can lie at any time?

      I have become increasingly irritated by her outbursts and condescending attitude to both genders. She is obsessively repetitive and cannot seemingly stop hearing her own voice. Bragging about her children and grandchildren... how does that affect a ruling she is asked to make. It seems like most of these cases are vetted only for theatrical potential. Her in chambers conversations with her granddaughter are a total waste of breath.

      I am really disappointed to see that Judge Judy does not keep up with the times and different cultures. Her rulings often indicate this. Also so many times...no waaay too many times in cases where a female accuses an ex of "owing" her money. It's obvious the money "owed" was a gift up until the parties broke up. It then becomes a "loan". But Judge Judy seems to never see this. So frustrating.

      Up until recently, I have never really watched a full episode of Judge Judy. Over the years I would hear her smart mouth talking to other people like she is 10 times better than they are, and I hope it makes for a good TV ratings! Other than that, It’s absolutely ridiculous how she treats people! It’s like she thinks she is a God! But, she is far from it! Her little smirks, and rolling. Her eyes is absolutely pathetic. Evidently she is a very frustrated, female, and I hope that her daily activities, she has a better attitude off screen if not, she has to be one of the most miserable humans on the planet!

      My biggest beef, is her ** bailiff! He absolutely acts like he hates every second of the day, and every breath that he takes! Especially, when the elderly, female Judy that’s frustrated. Ask him to do something! I really believe that he absolutely is very miserable having an elderly, frustrated, ** female, telling him what to do. Play this, go get that, stand straight boy, take that back to Mr. **, get me this, get me that, she will tell him! I can tell that he absolutely hates what he does, and the way she orders him around she acts like that he is her slave! And I think he feels that way himself!

      Hopefully all this is just for good TV, if not, that has to be two of the most miserable souls on planet earth, that I have ever met! And I have dealt with thousands of people over the years, and they used to take the cake! Out of all the years that the show has been on the air, and never once seen the **, bailiff crack, a smile! It’s just simple little court cases. Why, so serious? Remember it takes more muscles to walk around with that frown on your face, than it does to smile! OMG

      Judge Judy needs to lighten up a little bit. I'll bet if I screamed at her the the way she screams at some of the litigants, she would either throw me out or find me in contempt. I might add sometimes she needs to listen more carefully so that she does not paraphrase something other than what they said. Just my opinion. I do enjoy watching these cases but to be honest I have to turn it off sometime because I have trouble dealing with the disrespectful screaming and yelling. Everyone deserved to be treated with respect regardless of their situation. Life's truest success is measured by the number of positive impacts upon the life of others.

      I have watched many many episodes of her different versions of her show, and stopped watching her because she is rude, confrontational, argumentative and extremely prejudiced and biased against pit bulls or any dog resembling a pit bull! Any episode I've seen involving a pit bull always goes against the pit bull owner! She doesn't listen to the litigants and her yelling and screaming at them is not becoming a judge at all! She should not be allowed to continue!

      This is a show I rarely ever watch but came on after my regular show so I kept it on.. It was a dog attacking neighbor case. Judy She asked what kind of dog it was. The defendant stated, "A boxer..." JUDGE JUDY said, "Oh it wasn't a Pitbull...A Pitbull that just killed its owner in NY City"...Now people such as her is the reason why these dogs have bad raps...This had nothing to do with the case nor should she if even said, "Oh Pitbull that killed its owner..." Why did this happen to the owner? What provoked the dog... Lastly these dogs in the right care are nothing but wonderful animals and one of the best breeds!! If this breed is so dangerous the shelters wouldn't be full of these dogs. They would of been euthanized due to liability reasons.

      I am a show watcher only, I am also very dissatisfied with her calling people names and not hearing ALL evidence brought and hearing ALL of what a person has to say. Our constitution protects us from this type of thing, yet she gets away with it daily. She is not cute like she thinks, she is RUDE and a LOT of her comments are rude, inappropriate and degrading to those who have TRUSTED her to do their case. I personally would rather let some puppy make the decision on my case.
