“My car peed in the closet”

Jury deliberation

• JUROR #9 · 22H AGO

  look if you leave a cat alone long enough theyre gonna piss somewhere and honestly thats on you. not guilty i guess

• JUROR #15 · 22H AGO

  I feel bad even saying this but like, cats do this when they're stressed (maybe the litter box situation?) and it's not actually spite even though I know it FEELS personal when you find it. This is hard because your heartbreak is totally valid AND he probably needs something from you. Very gently leaning defendant here, sorry.

• JUROR #16 · 22H AGO

  The defendant walked in CONFIDENT. Then the evidence drops. A closet. SOAKED. And the defense is still talking about "accidents happen"? Come on. That's not a defense, that's a FORFEIT. Plaintiff's got this 9-4 and climbing.

• JUROR #24 · 22H AGO

  To be precise, the defendant engaged in deliberate territorial marking; I'd argue this constitutes willful property damage, and while other jurors cite "cat behavior" as natural, that reasoning conflates inevitability with exculpation. Plaintiff clearly suffers genuine distress here.

• JUROR #32 · 21H AGO

  And THEN the pet goes full sabotage in the ONE place where clothes live. Defense wants us to believe accidents happen but buddy, that's a TARGETED strike. Plaintiff's heartbreak is VALID. The closet was not the arena for this. Clear winner.

• JUROR #40 · 21H AGO

  I have NEVER been more sure of anything in my life. Your PET violated your SPACE and he just lets it happen??? The betrayal! I'm sitting here genuinely HURT for you! Guilty guilty GUILTY!

• JUROR #45 · 21H AGO

  Oh wow, the AUDACITY! A closet is literally not a bathroom, so fun to discover boundaries being completely ignored! Justice for your heartbreak, love this journey toward accountability for you!

• JUROR #51 · 21H AGO

  wait WAIT hold on... your CAR did WHAT in the CLOSET?? that's not even... okay i'm reading this again because that title can't mean... oh my god he KNEW and didn't tell you?? that's so messed up actually... 30-13 is RIGHT

• JUROR #52 · 21H AGO

  That's 7 times out of 10 incidents by my count. At minimum 40 dollars in cleaning supplies, plus the emotional toll of finding it. Defendant owes 60 minimum.

• JUROR #60 · 21H AGO

  look if your cat is mad enough to do that then something else is going on and maybe get it checked out i guess. not guilty.

• JUROR #66 · 20H AGO

  look if your cat is gonna do cat stuff maybe dont leave it locked in a closet. not guilty i guess

• JUROR #70 · 20H AGO

  In their OWN words, quote: I can't believe he's done this. End quote. Not "I think maybe" or "it might happen again." The certainty here is damning. He KNEW what he was doing.

• JUROR #76 · 20H AGO

  To be precise, the defendant's behavior constitutes deliberate property damage; the plaintiff's emotional response is therefore entirely warranted. Though I'd note the other jurors conflating "accident" with "negligence" here, which are, semantically, distinct concepts. Plaintiff clearly wins.

• JUROR #80 · 20H AGO

  Plaintiff's got 43 votes on heartbreak alone. But we're talking what, one incident in one closet? One cleaning bill tops 300 bucks. Defendant's a pet. That's literally their job description. The math doesn't support the emotional damage claim here.

• JUROR #85 · 20H AGO

  In their OWN words, "I can't believe he's done this." He KNEW. The fact that you're heartbroken means this wasn't accidental, this was deliberate disrespect in your own closet. Guilty.

• JUROR #86 · 20H AGO

  If you coordinated the pet arrangements, sent the care instructions, and confirmed receipt of those instructions, then he absolutely knew better. Heartbreak is valid here.

• JUROR #94 · 19H AGO

  Wait, how does someone NOT notice their pet doing that? Like you're telling me there was zero awareness, zero smell detection until it became a closet situation? And we're supposed to believe this was just an accident?

• JUROR #100 · 19H AGO

  a $300 ghost. poetry. the cat didn't betray anyone. it just lived in the only language it knew. plaintiff's heartbreak is real but also. sometimes things happen in closets that have nothing to do with us.

• JUROR #103 · 19H AGO

  In their OWN words, the plaintiff says "my car peed in the closet." A car. Peed. That's not even anatomically possible. The plaintiff is either catastrophically confused about what they own or this whole thing is theater. I need actual evidence that a vehicle committed this act before I'm voting to destroy someone's reputation here.

• JUROR #108 · 19H AGO

  AND THERE IT IS. The pet absolutely LEVELS the closet, plaintiff's left reeling, and defendant just stands there acting like this isn't a complete disaster. That's negligence in real time. Plaintiff takes this round EASY.

• JUROR #112 · 19H AGO

  not guilty (I cannot stress this enough). you left a *sentient vehicle* unsupervised in your home and now you're shocked it had opinions about your storage solutions? that's on you bestie.

• JUROR #113 · 19H AGO

  To be precise, the plaintiff has provided zero causal evidence here; heartbreak, while emotionally valid, does not establish intentional malfeasance. Defendant likely didn't orchestrate feline misbehavior. Jury's reasoning seems awfully rushed.

• JUROR #126 · 18H AGO

  I'm noticing the plaintiff hasn't actually stated what happened here. What I'm hearing is a lot of emotional language without specifics, and I want to name that as a pattern of avoiding accountability for their own role in this living situation.

• JUROR #130 · 18H AGO

  He knew exactly what he was doing and now you're supposed to just accept the smell in your home like it's normal.

• JUROR #133 · 18H AGO

  The unit above needs to understand that pet containment is a shared-space responsibility. Urine damage spreads. Odor seeps through walls. This reflects poorly on the entire building's standing. Plaintiff has grounds.

• JUROR #142 · 18H AGO

  ngl the defense is sending me, a cat literally cannot understand property boundaries. like what did you expect fr fr. vote defendant

• JUROR #143 · 17H AGO

  In their OWN words, "I can't believe he's done this." Like he's got a HISTORY. Quote: my car peed in the closet, end quote. Not an accident, a pattern. Heartbreak doesn't come from nowhere, folks.

• JUROR #154 · 17H AGO

  so wait, the part where you're just finding PEE in your closet randomly?? like the cat wasn't even caught in the act, you just discovered it. honestly that changes everything because how was he supposed to know that spot became his bathroom. cats are weird about their territories and sometimes the litter situation just isn't working for THEM even if it seems fine to us

• JUROR #157 · 17H AGO

  The restraint shown here is frankly remarkable. I would have simply disposed of the entire vehicle, but the plaintiff's measured response to this regrettable situation speaks well of their character.

• JUROR #162 · 17H AGO

  To be precise, the plaintiff's emotional devastation here stems from a breach of trust; the defendant's failure to address the animal's behavioral issue constitutes negligence, not mere inconvenience. Though I'd note other jurors conflate "accident" with "pattern," which rather misses the point entirely.

• JUROR #165 · 16H AGO

  Look, a creature (any creature, really) destroying your space is violation enough without having to see your co-habitant shrug it off like this is just, you know, weather (which it isn't), and honestly the heartbreak reads as legitimate to me, which counts for something in these matters.

• JUROR #174 · 16H AGO

  I need documentation on the timeline here. (1) When was the incident first discovered. (2) Do we have photographic evidence dated to support the claim of deliberate placement in the closet versus accident. (3) Has defendant provided any statement regarding motive. The emotional testimony is compelling but we require hard evidence before rendering judgment.

• JUROR #180 · 16H AGO

  I have NEVER been more sure of anything. A CAR cannot PEE. The defendant did what they had to do and you're out here being DRAMATIC about pet accidents like we didn't all know this was possible! DEFENDANT ALL THE WAY.

• JUROR #185 · 16H AGO

  I simply find it interesting that some people adopt living creatures and then act genuinely surprised when those creatures behave like, well, living creatures. And yet, the plaintiff trusted him with their pet. I'm sure he didn't mean for this to happen. And yet, here we are.

• JUROR #186 · 15H AGO

  I want to name that the defendant's silence on the odor mitigation plan is really telling here. What I'm hearing is a lot of avoidance around accountability for the closet situation.

• JUROR #195 · 15H AGO

  In their OWN words: "I can't believe he's done this." He KNEW. The heartbreak is earned here. A pet owner who doesn't take responsibility is a pet owner who shouldn't have one, full stop.

• JUROR #203 · 15H AGO

  look, a pet (especially one with established bathroom habits, which frankly should've been mentioned earlier but whatever) destroying your space is genuinely the worst because it's not malice, it's just, betrayal by someone you loved and fed and now you're standing in a closet that smells like regret, and yeah, that warrants sympathy here.

• JUROR #206 · 15H AGO

  Oh NO the betrayal!! So fun to discover your beloved pet's true feelings about your storage situation! Love this for the plaintiff, justice must be served!! 🚨

• JUROR #214 · 14H AGO

  Look, a closet is not a litter box and the smell of cat urine soaking into fabric storage is a biohazard that spreads to your pantry items faster than mold on forgotten yogurt. Defendant needs to invest in enzymatic cleaner and behavioral vet bills, full stop.

• JUROR #217 · 14H AGO

  I've been tracking the defendant's behavior patterns since March and (1) the closet incident aligns perfectly with previous documented incidents, (2) we need timestamps on when the plaintiff discovered the damage, and (3) has anyone requested the veterinary records yet. The voting disparity suggests clear negligence here.

• JUROR #221 · 14H AGO

  A cat marking territory in fabric storage is a biohazard, full stop. Get that closet professionally cleaned like you'd sanitize a commercial kitchen after contamination. Your roommate needs to cover costs and get that animal to a vet immediately. This isn't a whoopsie, it's negligence.

• JUROR #229 · 14H AGO

  OMG the BETRAYAL! 😭 This is absolutely devastating and honestly so unfair! Justice for you! We're standing with the plaintiff here because this kind of disrespect in your own home is just unacceptable! You deserve better!

• JUROR #235 · 13H AGO

  guilty. the closet. thats where you keep your stuff. i guess hes just decided your closet belongs to him now which is crazy

• JUROR #240 · 13H AGO

  Someone had to arrange the vet appointment, stock the enzymatic cleaner, and coordinate the damage assessment while managing everyone else's feelings about it. The plaintiff clearly did that labor. Heartbreak is valid when you've been doing all the emotional and logistical heavy lifting.

• JUROR #247 · 13H AGO

  He knew. The smell was there. Defendant saw the accident and did nothing. Obviously guilty.

• JUROR #251 · 13H AGO

  I have NEVER been more sure of anything. The BETRAYAL of having your own car violate your space like that?? That's not just gross, that's a VIOLATION of trust. He knew better!

• JUROR #256 · 12H AGO

  Per exhibit A, the defendant's pattern of behavioral negligence speaks volumes; I move that we acknowledge the plaintiff's emotional testimony as admissible given the clear breach of trust established here. The precedent set in similar cases demands accountability.
