From Hiedi:
Anyone ever get a chance to experince instnat karma?
About 2 years ago, my buddy appeared on People's Court and got to
experience Instant karma.
Didn't realize the video clip of it was
making rounds on youtube.
Basically, my buddy sold this lady a car "as is." He put on the
receipt/document for the car that his dealership knew the car stalls and
was prone to over heating. They were going to fix it, but it meant
upping the price on the car by a significant amount. Lady bought the
car at a steeply reduced price, "as is." Meaning she bought the car
knowing full well it stalls, overheats and has other assorted issues.
Then she takes my buddy to court (on national TV. Why? Who knows) and instant karma comes out swinging.
Enjoy. While on this topic, has anyone ever experience instant karma?

OH Wow, that was your friend? I remembered seeing this because it was in the "related videos" screen that shows up after a video for that lacrosse player who cut in line.
I love how she kept defending herself. Did she think she would change people's minds? The fact that she just walked out shows that she knows what she did was wrong and wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Haha! She whited it out!

What an idiot! Did she really think the judge wouldn't notice she'd tried to modify the document?
I love the judge's response: "Get out of my courtroom."

I think I understand why she went through "The People's Court". If that had been a real courtroom, it seems to me she could've been arrested and charged with fraud.

That was beautiful!

Oooh, I remember that one (Don't judge me, I was laid up in bed for four months last winter...)!
What a good thing your friend brought his copy of the sales slip. Smart guy. Lesson learned here: always, always bring all related paperwork to court. I'm constantly surprised at how many people stand there with empty hands and no proof... and fully expect to win against the opponent's documentation. *G*

That was hysterical!

This man has learned the 3 D's: document, document, document. And he had proof to show the judge. Very well done.

Kudos to your friend for not immediately rubbing it in her face. No smirk, no laughter. Better person than me!

He's so polite. And kind. If it had been me, I would have been saying quite loudly "that's what I thought Bitch," while waving the middle finger at her.

I was in stitches. BEA-utiful! The cutsy got what she deserved!

Thing about the People's Court and all those court shows is that they'll pay whatever judgment the "judge" imposes. So folks who are really in the wrong have a reason to go.

I love legal funnies :)

Also, GE, shows like that as well will pay the loser something too.
Both parties as well have to agree that whatever Judge Milian (or whoever) rules cannot be appealed. They are considered final ruling.

What I don't understand is why anyone would be stupid enough to buy a car that doesn't really run for only a $400 discount!
