OMFG WORK IS SO MUCH FUN GUYZ

Jul 28, 2013 11:00

Last night I had the same kind of response. There's this guy at work, and I know he's got issues with sensory processing and communicating which make him slower on the uptake and cause him to get frustrated easily when he's trying to process a lot of info at once, so I give him a lot of leeway, but his total lack of empathy (and rolling his eyes ( Read more... )

It's always extra frustrating when someone we've been extra nice to someone who is being a dick. Whether or not he's got problems, he still treated you badly. That's a line that was crossed, no matter what. I think your anger is justified. (Plus, throwing things "at" somebody? Yeah right. How is that any safer? Puh-leese.)

I get that sometimes, too, where I shouldn't care but I do. I think it's because it's so out of the range of normal interaction that it just sticks - like a burr. We are trained to notice different things and it sounds like this guy is really different.

Also I'd give you a massage to help with the arthritis if I lived closer. *hugs*

Have you talked to anyone at the church about your difficulties in getting there? Obvs I don't know anything about your church, but at some churches they might try to find your a ride.

I've talked to them, and they all offer me rides home, but it doesn't seem to occur to them that getting TO the church is the hard part. One of the older men even said once "I saw you walking here this morning. I didn't pick you up, but I saw you." And he smiled and patted my shoulder and walked away, and I just stood there like o_0" feeling crushed. I know he didn't mean it in a rude way, but who SAYS that to someone? Especially when you KNOW that person has arthritis and has a hard tome walking to church? I had a regular ride for awhile, but she stopped coming to church regularly, and she doesn't text me in the mornings anymore to let me know she's coming to church, and when I text her she doesn't reply, so I don't know if she's coming or not. She asked me in a facebook message why I hadn't been to church in awhile and I explained the pain and how I can't walk there most mornings, and she said "Ok" and never brought it up again. I really don't get it. I almost feel like they passively-aggressively don't want me to come to ( ... )
