There are a lot of extremely explicit, abusive, and vile actions presented here, but one of the "safe for work" misbehaviors is absolutely insane:
> Jones called David as a witness during her case-in-chief. Almost immediately, David began insulting Jones, her counsel, and the litigation process. Despite the court’s repeated admonishments, David’s behavior escalated, according to court transcripts. Within minutes, he proffered his American Express Black credit card to Jones, telling her, “Take my card. Take my card. Here, take my card … Go and buy whatever you want.” David subsequently said, “Oh, f— it. Just enter a default judgment,” before leaving the stand and exiting the courtroom.
Maybe you think you can get away with things in private life, but how do you continue to do that in front of a judge?
Crazy the kind of failure modes we can see from the human species sometimes.
