Rest My Case

My roommate took the trash out last night. This morning I spilled a whole pot of soup into the new bag. Now it stinks. Who takes it out?

Me

“It's her week. She takes it out.”

Roommate

“You made the mess. You take it out.”

Can't agree? Put it to a jury. 5 random, verified people read both sides, vote in secret, and settle it. Small fee in G$. No verdict, money back.

You be the jury

Real kinds of arguments people bring. Read the story, pick a side.

  • Story 1

    Three of us shared a taxi home. I got dropped off first, halfway there. Now they want to split the fare three ways.

    A · Me

    “I only rode half the way. I should pay less.”

    B · My friends

    “We always split it evenly. Same as everyone.”

    Which side wins?

  • Story 2

    We bet on the final score being 2-1. It was 1-1 after 90 minutes and ended 2-1 in extra time.

    A · Me

    “It finished 2-1. I win the bet.”

    B · My friend

    “Bets are on 90 minutes. It was a draw. I win.”

    Which side wins?

  • Story 3

    I lent my friend my phone charger. A week later it stopped working while she had it.

    A · Me

    “It broke while you had it. You replace it.”

    B · My friend

    “It was old and frayed. It was going to die anyway.”

    Which side wins?

  • Story 4

    My partner cancelled our dinner reservation an hour before, to go to drinks with his boss.

    A · Me

    “You don't cancel on me an hour before.”

    B · My partner

    “It was my boss. I couldn't say no.”

    Which side wins?

  • Story 5

    My cousin's wedding was on the same day as my final exam, so I skipped the wedding. Half the family isn't talking to me.

    Me

    “I couldn't move the exam. Am I wrong?”

    Right or wrong?

Cases are public, so describe people by role (“my roommate”), never by name. A verdict is an honest outside opinion, not a legal ruling.

Two ways to settle it

Ask the jury

Just your side

Write what happened. The jury says whether you're right or wrong. Only you pay.

Settle it together

Both sides

Send the other person a private invite. They write their side and pay the same fee. The jury picks a winner.

Pick your speed
