Today, I had to do community service work, so I helped out at a senior center. One of the confused elderly patients, who believed the Cold War was still on, thought I was a Soviet and started screaming about how I was going to nuke his country. FML

YDI for whatever you did that required the community service.

yes, because people always do community service because they're being punished for something.

I don't know how old the OP is but some schools require community service projects for graduation. Which could be the "had to" part of it.

Aw poor old man :( PTSD must be an awful thing to live with. Just be patient OP, ignore it and do what you have to do.

So what. Wait tell one of them runs up behind you, tackles you, and starts beating you down cause they think your somebody else. I spent many years of working with elderly. Ydi for community service then complaining just because he is yelling at you.

That sucks, but if he's really confused, don't take it personally! He really thought you were a sovjet who wants to nuke his country.

That sounds like something my grandpa used to say! That man was tough as nails, but you had to be careful when he started playing around. He once gave all the dogs in the neighborhood chocolate for laughs. Some were sick for days!

And some could have died. What an irresponsible person, I would have locked him in a shed if I caught him doing it.
