'Bugging Out' & 'Letting Down a Lady Friend' & 'Backing Out'
First, the plaintiff loaned her ex, the defendant, money while they were together so he could purchase a car and drive for Uber. Unfortunately, he failed to pay her back, so the plaintiff is suing.

'Stiffing a Girlfriend' & 'Bad Hooptie' & 'Bugging a Tenant'

The defendant argues the plaintiff begged her to go on the trips even though she informed her she couldn't afford it. The plaintiff knew she wasn't going to pay her back, so she shouldn't have paid for the trips if she wanted the defendant to come.

First, the plaintiff enrolled in the defendant's diving school and completed the first two dives in a swimming pool. He needed to just complete the last ocean test, but the defendant kept canceling on him even though he knew the plaintiff was leaving for a dive trip in Mexico in four days. The defendant gave the plaintiff papers promising he'd have no problems, but on his trip, the plaintiff wasn't allowed to dive. The plaintiff is suing for the cost of his trip and his lessons. The defendant claims he gave the proper paperwork for his trip. All the plaintiff had to do was one ocean dive in Mexico and he'd be certified. The defendant is countersuing for fraud and defamation.
Then, the plaintiff used to date the defendant. Now that they've split up, the defendant won't return his car, so the plaintiff is suing for the value of the vehicle. The defendant argues the plaintiff gave her the car as a gift.
The plaintiff loaned the defendant money to fix his tires while they were dating. Now that they're no longer together, the defendant hasn't yet paid back the money, so the plaintiff is suing.

'Copping Out on a Cousin' & 'Fouling up a Friendship' & 'Being a Tool'
First, the plaintiff loaned money to his cousin, but she failed to pay it back and bought a vacation instead, so the plaintiff is suing. The defendant argues the plaintiff offered the money as a gift, so she doesn’t owe anything.
Then, the plaintiff has known the defendant for years. He claims he bought a car from the defendant, but the vehicle needed a new transmission and had a bad title, so the plaintiff is suing. The defendant argues the plaintiff kept the car parked on the street for a month without gas in the tank and that’s what caused the damage. The defendant even fixed the car for free, so he shouldn’t have to give the plaintiff a refund. The defendant is countersuing for a tow and repairs.
Plus, the plaintiff hired the defendant to transport his mechanic’s toolbox.
