Today, an elderly woman was crossing the street and dropped her bag of groceries. I got out of my car to assist her, but she beat me repeatedly, yelling that I was "enforcing a stereotype". Sorry for trying to help. FML

OP here... I have no idea why she hit me instead of asking me not to help and still haven't a clue as to what stereotype it was. I was waiting for my father to come out of the store when I noticed her crossing the street when she just dropped the bags I came to help and she swung whatever was left in the bag at me till I left. I lucky didn't get hurt but I was kinda humiliated but as far as I could tell no one saw. I got a laugh telling my friends at school though so either way it just another funny story to tell.

Some people just don't like help they didn't ask for...I can understand that but she didn't have to be rude. Sorry OP I would have done just what you had done.

Older people like to do things on their own it seems. You did a good thing though.

It's understandable, when you think about it. Elderly people already often feel upset that they can't do as much as they used to be able to. It's nice that you offered to help, but sometimes you just gotta let them have their independence. It's important to their level of self-worth that they be given a chance to do things for themselves.

Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most.
