On the Judge Judy episode I watched a woman is suing a man for repayment of a loan she made to him. Both are twenty something. He said he had repaid her but not with cash. He helped her move, picked up her children from school and with good sex! :rolleyes:

 

Judy Judy ruled in favor of the plaintiff!

I assume the real issue, of course, is that the plaintiff had never formally agreed to anything as a substitute for cash, so despite the defendant's brazen excuses, I would agree with the judge.

 

Reminds me, in a basic way, of earning some extra money in college by doing music coaching. I worked a lot with one particular older student (can't remember if she was upperclass or graduate) and sometimes she'd pay in cash, but sometimes (in very good faith, I add) she bought me books, or other similar gifts she knew I'd like. (She was a lesbian, so no, no attempts at hanky panky lol.) Problem is, I really wanted (and often needed) the money. But of course, little freshman that I was, I never had the heart to tell her that, because she meant well, and everything she got me was indeed a nice gift.

 

But - jumping ahead a few decades...there was this time that I saw a colleague's ad on Manhunt - someone I had worked with in shows, and that I did have a crush on. To my wonderful surprise, he was cool about having a little fun together, but logistics tended to get in the way (distance, schedules, etc). But then he got in touch one day saying that he was working on some new audition material, and wanted to come to town and hire me to do some coaching. I said yes, of course, and also mused that it was a shame that we couldn't *also* have a little fun. Well, our discussion led to a fun little agreement - he'd consider paying half my fee in cash, and inviting me to blow him in place of the rest. I was down for that.

 

And it all worked out very nicely. Very. So much so that we did it again another day. :D

 

So hey - as long as the terms are agreed by both parties, lol... (I guess that defendant should have kept that in mind...)

Seems to me like they had a meeting of the minds on the terms of the loans. Was there a lack of performance? :D

It was one of those where Judge Judy would not let the plaintiff say much. Her attention was directed to the defendant. The plaintiff kept trying to speak until Judge Judy finally told her that if she spoke one more time she would have her evicted.
