no heating no help

[baby121990]

hi, my boiler blew up on Friday night i called emergency team out

Korma, The op might feel entitled to heating, you, on the other hand seems to feel entitled to being abusive. I dont care what the reason is, can you just please stop effing and binding, you are not coming across very well.

Not to mention your post to quint

you cant actually be surprised can you?

There's tone as well, though, Korma. You could have said any and all of that without the post sounding aggressive and bitter. The OP has been a bit unreasonable or naive to expect that the Council will be able to fix the boiler immediately, but stress doesn't always make us see things clearly.

Tbf I'd be pretty snippy if I had no heating and no chance of having it fixed and someone was talking about emergency housing because they had to wait a few days.

In fact I'd be more than snippy, I'd have been banned by now

How hard would it have been to say " I think temp accomodation is unrealistic tbh. But Im sorry you are in this position because I am a human being and feel empathy to others."

Your personality was ripped apart due to the quite frankly fucking horrible tone. So yes, Vitriol.

Korma, I get that your anger and frustration is NOT really this thread.
I get it.

But taking it out on a vulnerable woman is not on.

It is like the playground bully who is bullied at home, if you see what I mean.

On a thread like this your opinion was uncalled for and unhelpful.

but hey I don't have an austic child so I should be grateful right ? Apparently an austic child being cold is worse than my child being cold ? And more important

Yes you should be grateful you dont have an autistic child.

I have 2 not autistic children and 1 autistic child, YES being cold [or not being able to bath/break in his routine] IS worse for my autistic child than for my other 2.

She should be grateful she has no financial worry about getting it fixed? never mind possible financial worry of using 2 blow heaters then.

Do you really not get how disruptive this is to families with a child with a disability? it is worse for them, try explaining to a child with a limited understanding as opposed to a child that can understand what is happening.

Honestly, would you stand in my face and shout For Fucks Sake? Over this? Seriously?

You told her to fuck off. That says it all.

I have apologised on this thread for my uncalled for comments to you yesterday korma, they were justifiably deleted.

You DID call the OP "fucking entitled" though. No your child is not any less important for not being autistic but maybe more able to comprehend and cope.....the reality with an autistic child is they cannot do that so easily if at all.

You sound like you are having a shit time at the moment and I am sorry about that, I have been to the bottom of hell in the past so I don't wish that on anyone. If you can't work at the moment then you may well meet the criteria for a grant to help repair or improve your home....even if you DO own it. It might well be worth asking.

No, Korma did not tell me to fuck off, she told Altinkum. And some body else.

There are at least 23 Fucks on this this thread.

All over a woman without any heat and hot water. Not cool.

Like I said Korma, I get your frustration, and I get it is pretty shit right now, and for a while. Just please calm down.

I have myself been guilty of sprouting crap and venom when I feel really really down. It is easy to do.

Didn't korma initially just tell whoever called her a fuckwit to fuck off? Or do I have that completely wrong?

I do sympathise but not having heating is not the end of the world, we cant afford torun our heating so havent used it for months, we have an oil filled radiator in the lounge and one in the bathroom that we run for short bursts to keep the chill off in those rooms, everywhere else in the
House is freezing we wear warm clothes and use lots of blankets.

As for hot water, boil the kettle for dishes and washing and ask a friend if you can use their bath, its an inconvenience but hardly means you need emergency accommodation

Korma you were out of order in the first place, people told you that rightly so, you then came back and carried in in the same vein.

Dont now play the victim because someone called you a wanker.

You were called vile names [not by me I add] because you were vile.

I understand what korma is saying and I get what the OP is saying but I think 5 days to wait is pretty good service tbh. Shit happens, that's life. Shut the doors and put the heaters on OP and wait it out.

This ^^ absolutely.

It's not nice for you or your kids OP...but you have heaters and a kettle.

I assume you have duvets, socks and warm clothing.

So as much as it's not nice for you all...to expect temporary accommodation instead of spending a few days without a boiler is very OTT.

Temp accommodation is in short supply and therefore tends to be allocated to the truly needy.

Sorry, it was not quint you told to fuck off.

However I suggest if you still do not understand why you are being "torn to shreds" you re read your first post. It was horrible. To a person with no heat or hot water with an autistic child who has the nerve to want the council to help her.

I dont know what problems you have but imagine if you posted for some help/advice/support and someone responded to you the way you did to the OP. How would you feel?

No one decided its pick on Korma day, you did this all by yourself by being nasty to someone who didnt deserve it.

She didnt expect temp accommodation though, she just asked was it something she would be able to ask for. She was told no. She never mentioned it again. She just did not know. She wasnt jumping up and down demanding it, and it did not deserve that response.
