Warning: My bath bomb evidence got destroyed by a wet courtroom floor in Denver
So I'm in small claims court last Tuesday over a $175 deposit dispute with my old landlord. I brought in this half-used bath bomb to show the tub wasn't scratched, but it was sitting in my bag with a leaky water bottle. When the judge asked for evidence, I pulled it out and it crumbled into a wet, purple mess all over the floor. The landlord's lawyer started laughing, and I just stood there holding a plastic bag of goo. Has anyone else had physical evidence backfire in a funny way?

lmao the bath bomb crumbling on the floor is such a perfect disaster. my buddy ben had this thing in small claims where he tried to prove his neighbor's dog kept digging under his fence and brought in a ziploc bag of dirt from the hole. judge asked him to pour it out on the table for exhibit a and it was just mud with a dead earthworm and some grass clumps. neighbor's lawyer goes "your honor, that could be dirt from anywhere" and ben just stood there holding the empty bag looking so defeated.

Next time tell him to get a trail camera first. That dirt evidence strategy needed a timestamped photo of the dog mid-dig to tie it all together. Small claims judges love concrete proof.
