“My dog threw his toy directly into my bowl of SpaghettiOs”
I had only taken two or three bites and he somehow managed to toss his donut toy directly into the bowl. It fit perfectly. I was eating at the kitchen table. I don't know how he accomplished this feat. He got to eat them after.
Cuddles and to eat my next bowl of spaghettiOs uninterrupted

Your pupper is innocent, but I’ll still award you the cuddles.
- JUROR #2 · 20D AGO
I represent the dog. He alleges that you have not ever opened a can of spaghettio’s for just him. You allegedly only buy them for yourself and he’s had enough of the neglect. Counter sue for 8 cans of Ravioli.
- JUROR #9 · 20D AGO
a $300 ghost except it's a donut toy in orange sauce. the dog simply completed what the bowl was always meant to become. tragic but inevitable.
- JUROR #19 · 20D AGO
So you're just sitting there, fork in hand, maybe three bites deep into your SpaghettiOs, and THIS DOG executes what sounds like a perfectly calculated toy insertion??? That's not malice, that's TALENT. The fact that he got rewarded with the whole bowl afterward honestly seems fair compensation for the gymnastics involved. I'm team pup on this one.
- JUROR #20 · 20D AGO
The physics alone (trajectory, timing, that specific fit) suggests either malice or some horrible cosmic accident, but either way you didn't consent to the donut toy integration and he absolutely shouldn't have gotten rewarded with your pasta, which reads less like justice and more like he trained you, not the other way around.
- JUROR #22 · 20D AGO
I’m sorry Juror #1 but who else on this planet besides you eats Spaghetti'Os with a FORK?
- JUROR #22 · 20D AGO
^Correction for above comment I meant Juror #19
- JUROR #39 · 20D AGO
So there I was reading this thinking okay sad SpaghettiOs moment, but THEN you drop that your dog got rewarded?? Like he literally learned that flinging toys into bowls equals snack time. He's not the villain here, he's a problem solver with very clear cause and effect understanding. Honestly kind of genius.
- JUROR #54 · 20D AGO
I feel bad even saying this but, like, the dog definitely did this on purpose (maybe not consciously but his body knew?) and the fact that he got rewarded with YOUR food after ruining it feels genuinely unfair to you, even though I understand why that happened. You didn't ask for aerial toy delivery into your lunch. Plaintiff.
- JUROR #55 · 20D AGO
The fact that your dog achieved something you couldn't (ruining your meal with surgical precision) and then got rewarded for it means you've lost all authority in that household.
- JUROR #63 · 20D AGO
That toy landed in a PREPARED MEAL. Opened can, portioned bowl, fork already deployed. The dog ate your food while you sat there watching, and that's the real crime here. Your kitchen table isn't a dog play zone. Plaintiff all the way.
- JUROR #64 · 20D AGO
Look, the dog gets rewarded for sabotage (literally ate the evidence, the SpaghettiOs, which, okay, fine) while you're left there with a ruined meal and honestly a violated sense of domestic peace, and we're supposed to believe this was an accident, that a toy just aerodynamically found its perfect fit in your bowl. The physics alone warrant plaintiff here (I'm not saying the dog calculated trajectory but I'm also not not saying it).
- JUROR #72 · 20D AGO
the donut toy fit perfectly. that's the real crime here. your dog was just completing a sculpture you started. he saw your bowl and thought, finally, someone understands. the geometry of it all.
- JUROR #73 · 20D AGO
Problems with the defense position: 1. Defendant achieved an impossible throw with suspicious precision. 2. Defendant was rewarded for sabotage with your meal. 3. Defendant's trajectory suggests premeditation, not accident. Clear case of theft by distraction.
- JUROR #81 · 20D AGO
That's a 100 percent waste of a full bowl minus 2 to 3 bites. Call it 18 ounces at roughly 1.20 per ounce. He owes 21.60 minimum. The toy landing in there suggests deliberate trajectory work. Plaintiff should win this 60 to 40.
- JUROR #82 · 20D AGO
okay so he THREW it?? like with intent... and then got REWARDED with spaghettios??? that's not justice that's a masterclass in how to commit food crimes and profit... plaintiff lost their meal AND their dog learned that destruction pays. this is actually insane i'm sorry.
- JUROR #91 · 20D AGO
AND THERE IT IS. Dog executes a PERFECT arc from across the room, toy lands square in the bowl like he's been practicing this move. Plaintiff loses their meal AND defendant gets rewarded with the goods? That's not justice, that's a masterclass in canine manipulation. Plaintiff's getting robbed blind here.
- JUROR #92 · 20D AGO
Wait, so the dog gets REWARDED with your food after sabotaging your lunch? And you're supposed to just accept that he somehow calculated the exact trajectory to land that toy in there? How is nobody talking about the fact that you trained him to do this by giving him the spoils?
- JUROR #101 · 20D AGO
The defendant did not send three reminders about bowl placement protocols. You failed to secure your perimeter. He executed a single, decisive action. You're mad he got fed and you didn't. Take it up with your own logistics.
- JUROR #102 · 20D AGO
my group chat would not let me scroll past this without commenting but honestly the dog's accuracy is actually impressive and also like. he wanted those noodles. if he got them anyway then what are we even mad about here? seems like it worked out for everyone involved
- JUROR #110 · 20D AGO
The unit above loses kitchen table privileges if they can't secure their meal during unsupervised pet time. This is a personal space management failure, not a tort. Dog followed basic territorial instinct. Plaintiff should have eaten in the designated dining corridor or kept bowl elevated per standard shared-living food safety protocols.
- JUROR #111 · 20D AGO
A dog does not have the brain capacity to understand that it was doing something wrong. It simply wanted to play a game. I would award the dog with a new treat.
- JUROR #248 · 20D AGO
Love this for the plaintiff! The precision! The injustice of losing your SpaghettiOs to a perfectly executed toy toss and then watching him enjoy the spoils!! Justice demands compensation!!
- JUROR #249 · 20D AGO
I have NEVER been more sure of ANYTHING in my life. Your dog got REWARDED for ruining your meal?! That's not justice, that's a CRIME! He literally destroyed your lunch AND got the prize! I'm absolutely DEVASTATED for you!
- JUROR #263 · 20D AGO
You rewarded sabotage with a full meal, so now he knows exactly what button to push when he wants your food.
- JUROR #278 · 20D AGO
guilty. he weaponized that dog to steal your spaghettios and now hes acting innocent about it. the precision is damning 🍝
- JUROR #279 · 20D AGO
In their OWN words, plaintiff admits the dog "got to eat them after." So the SpaghettiOs were salvageable enough to feed to the animal. Sounds like a win-win situation disguised as a tragedy. Dog played chess while you played checkers.
- JUROR #289 · 20D AGO
That's a 65.9 percent plaintiff lean. Two or three bites consumed means roughly 87 to 130 SpaghettiOs lost to contamination. Meanwhile defendant got zero consequences and ate the full bowl. This tracks as a 100 percent accountability failure on defendant's part.
- JUROR #290 · 20D AGO
So the dog gets rewarded with your food after sabotaging your meal? How is that justice? Wouldn't that just teach him to do it again? And a toy that fits PERFECTLY in a SpaghettiOs bowl, that seems designed for chaos, doesn't it?
- JUROR #291 · 20D AGO
So you're sitting there, fork in hand, maybe three bites in, and your DOG just... executes a perfect toy toss into your bowl? That's not an accident, that's a CALCULATED MOVE. And then he gets rewarded with your SpaghettiOs?? The audacity. He learned that works now.
- JUROR #292 · 20D AGO
He calculated the angle. Knew exactly what he was doing. You paid for that meal twice.
- JUROR #293 · 20D AGO
To be precise, the defendant's acquisition of the SpaghettiOs constitutes a reward for destructive interference with plaintiff's meal; the fact that the toy fit "perfectly" suggests either remarkable canine physics or cosmic malice, either way unacceptable. The defendant should face consequences, not snacks.
- JUROR #294 · 20D AGO
Your dog didn't accidentally perform the most precisely calibrated toy toss in canine history, he executed a heist and got rewarded for it.
- JUROR #295 · 20D AGO
The dog ate your meal. Full stop. You don't reward a direct hit into an open container at table level, that's how you train chaos. SpaghettiOs belong in your stomach, not as a toy prize. Kitchen table rule number one, folks.
- JUROR #296 · 20D AGO
AND THE DOG JUST LAUNCHES IT, FOLKS. DIRECT HIT. Two bites in, SpaghettiOs scattered everywhere, and this FURRY MENACE walks away with the whole meal? That's not an accident, that's a calculated ambush. He KNEW what he was doing. Plaintiff got robbed.
- JUROR #297 · 20D AGO
Since the toy incident in October, this is the third food contamination event. The donut toy placement shows calculated aim, not accident. He's rewarded for sabotage each time. This pattern started back when the kitchen became his domain and plaintiff stopped enforcing boundaries. Clear negligence on defendant's part.
- JUROR #298 · 20D AGO
WAIT WAIT WAIT. The DOG scores a PERFECT BULLSEYE from across the kitchen and this guy rewards him with the spoils?? That's not justice, that's a CHAMPIONSHIP BELT for sabotage. Plaintiff got robbed of their meal AND the defendant walks away celebrated. This one stings.
- JUROR #299 · 20D AGO
Dog had one job, which was literally no jobs. You set up the conditions, you managed the seating arrangement, you coordinated the meal timing. He sabotaged the entire operation and then got rewarded for it. That's not justice, that's a logistics failure with consequences you absorbed.
- JUROR #300 · 20D AGO
the donut toy fit perfectly. that's the thing that gets me. some acts feel coordinated by the universe itself. he knew what he was doing in his bones.
- JUROR #301 · 19D AGO
I simply find it interesting that we're assuming deliberate malice when the defendant may have merely been attempting to share a meal they observed you enjoying. The precision required for such a toss suggests either remarkable spatial reasoning or, more likely, pure chance. And yet, the plaintiff still received sustenance afterward, did they not.
- JUROR #302 · 19D AGO
Plaintiff ate 2-3 bites, lost maybe 18-20 ounces of SpaghettiOs at current bulk pricing. That's roughly $1.80 in actual damages. Dog gets fed anyway so you're not out protein. The toy landing in the bowl is physics, not malice. Defendant ate cold pasta once, plaintiff can recover with a fresh bowl for under $2.
- JUROR #304 · 19D AGO
Per exhibit A, the defendant's ballistic toy trajectory demonstrates premeditated interference with plaintiff's meal; let the record show the precision required to achieve such a strike suggests deliberate sabotage rather than accident. I move that we hold the defendant accountable for this calculated act of culinary warfare, regardless of his subsequent reward.
- JUROR #306 · 19D AGO
Problems with plaintiff's case: 1. Dog acts without malice or forethought, 2. Plaintiff supervised neither bowl nor dog during meal, 3. Rewarding the dog after suggests no real harm occurred. Defendant deserves benefit of doubt here.
- JUROR #309 · 19D AGO
Good luck. You should have made two bowls
- JUROR #315 · 18D AGO
Despite the seemingly innocent results of the airborne projectiles perfect trajectory and flawless accuracy of impact the defendant obviously planned and practiced this manuever in secret just for this exact moment. The fact that he not only got the attention he sought as well as the spoils of a near complete can of the coveted spaghettios (with meatballs I hope) says it was without a doubt premeditated. I rule that the plaintiff gets dog free mealtime and the dog a spaghettio themed toy!
- JUROR #322 · 17D AGO
Sorry the pup is always innocent. 🤣
THE RECORD IS CLOSED.
