Sorry…

Today, I was working at Old Navy. A girl came up to me and did a bizarre dance. Not knowing how to react, I imitated her to be friendly with the customer. Then she stopped cold. Her friend stormed up to me and yelled, "You jerk! Why are you making fun of her? She has Tourette's, you know!" FML

It's really hard to react to something you're not trained for in any way at all. The best thing to do would have just been to greet them as if nothing happened, I guess.

dont feel bad, why should you know that there was something wrong with her? her friend needs to chill out, but her opinion of you doesnt matter, forget about her, it was awkward but its over at least

that girl's an asshole it's not like you knew . i have tourettes and i just make a joke out of it, i dont get why people have to take everything so personally but you probably shouldnt have imitated her and just asked her what she needed

I'm glad you did that, even if you did know she had tourettes, it would've been a lot worse just to ignore her and pretend nothing is wrong. Ignorance isn't bliss. Yes respect her, but how would you have known? stupid ass people telling you that your disgusting and going to hell for doing that, COME THE **** ON? it was pure mistake. So for those that honestly feel the need to cuss this guy out, STFU and LEARN HOW TO INTERPRET THINGS BETTER, instead of of blasting off because you have such a closed miniscual mind.

Aahhhh... Feels good to get that out of your system, doesn't it?

okay lemme settle the score here: for the guy that this happened to, how were you supposed to know that she had tourettes? good for you for trying to make that person comfortable in an awkward situation and #11, I think you just overreacted for some reason, everyone makes mistakes. and seeing as you haven't posted anything in your own defense since your comment, i'd say that by now, you've realized that you were initially wrong and too quick to judge to #25, you said "people who bring mentally disabled people to the mall piss me off". how dare you attack a group of people who choose to devote some of their time to community service. some of those people that bring disabled people to the mall are relatives of the disabled person and cannot afford to leave that disabled person alone. also, as a civilized human being, you should be able to deal with such things in life as bearing the presence of a mentally disabled person; that's just a fact of life, so deal with it. sure, some of those people that bring mentally disabled people to the mall might not be the best at keeping them under control, but nobody's perfect. life ain't fair pal, and the sooner you realize that, the sooner you will learn to enjoy life for what it's worth. anyways, that's a rediculously long comment and i feel like total loser for taking this much time out of my day to post an extremely detailed opinion to a bunch of ppl i don't know. whatevah lol

I want to make a ridiculously long reply now...

the lady's friend is an asshole, how were u supposed to know she has a problem, you were just trying to be nice

#11 don't be such an asshole. How was he supposed to know? Although, I don't think that dancing back was the best thing to do but whatever. Sorry.

#36 needs an award. thank you moderator xD
