this is why I don't help old people.
hes old and in a wheel chair, give him a break
yeah doesn't give him the right to be a prick.
well either way op is ****** because if he/she didn't hold the door they would of also been called an ass. give op a break.
how old? 80+?
#1's pic made me LOLOL
agreed, 31
It would be so amazing if the man were secretly a total FML junkie and commented on here every day. He'd see this and be all, "You damn whippersnapper!!"
these days a lota cats is outa line. seems to me like he needs to get punched.
that's when I would've grabbed his wheelchair, pulled him back out of the door, then walked through the door, and let it close behind me.
1- same here, I just walk by and they give me dirty looks -_- LoL
76 win
This is why human beings shouldn't live to be 80 ******* years old.
yep
16- me too! WTF is that? haha
maybe hes in the chair cause someone tried to beat some manners into him
Never mind any thing come from content of coffins.
remember that when you're old and need help
remember that when you're old and need help
No. Being old doesn't give him the right to be an asshole.
haha Rhys hilarious. but it was still mean to call u tht atleaat u held the door open for him
That's why I just ignore old people, pretending I didn't see them and that is why I didn't offer to help.
cut his breaks and watch him cry out in fear as he rumbles down a hill and into a bus....
i laughed so hard when i saw that! old dude shouldnt be a dick anyways, he/she was trying to help
You've learned an important life lesson. Sometimes, no matter if you have the best of intentions, people just don't want your help. Ask first, it saves you a lot of trouble in the long run.
This is an excellent point. I've had mobility issues and independance is very important when you actually *can* do stuff on your own. There are few excuses to ever be rude, disabled or not, but when you're disabled the anger and shame is sometimes close to the surface. You can't really understand it till you've been there; the elderly aren't exempt from embarrassment, and they aren't very respected in our society anyway. Besides, you wouldn't believe how prickish and condescending people can be with their "help" sometimes. Who likes to feel pitied?! When someone's patrontizing you for something you could do easily if they'd just let you, it's nearly unbearable. OP, though well-intentioned, may indeed have been hindering more than helping. Again, the senior shouldn't have been rude, but I can empathize with him. And you're right-- you should ALWAYS ask if you can help, unless the person is seizing or something.
yeah, i'm no old guy, but you can say i've had my share of being pitied. the trick is to gather yourself up together like voltron and just do it like nike, but don't piss off anyone who's trying to be nice, because they may end up leaving you high and dry when you need it. that said, while it may not be an excuse to go hang yourself in your closet, had i been in a similar situation, i would have been a bit peeved, like most others. however, the principle in this matter remains; you aren't supposed to spit on people offering you help. even then, it *is* a good habit to ask, especially if the person appears capable of handling the situation. |the kid|
63: yeah I remember seeing some dumb bitch talking to this guy in a wheelchair really loudly and slowly, then getting a packet for him which was right under his ******* hand. It's no wonder people are grumpy sometimes.
I would do the same if I was old and in a wheelchair. "you kids get off my grass!!"
hahah ydi for being an asshole
This is where you let the door close on him.

If he's gonna be an asshole about it, just push him out of his chair and say, "Why yes, I am an asshole. Bitch."
