To wish people would just fuck the fuck off?

[OorWullie]

I was recently in a fairly horrible car accident. I have a few injuries but nothing life-threatening thankfully.

The most visible evidence is two shiny black eyes.

I live in a small village, everyone knows me, everyone knows what's happened yet a week later i can't even go to the fucking shop or take my child to school without answering a full on inquisition about it all.

Lovely jokes about how many rounds i've done with Mike Tyson and horribly personal and detailed questions which could be disturbing to answer if i actually had any recollection of the accident.

I am unsteady on my feet, confused at times, sore and tired. Tonight the fucking shop assistant gave me the wrong order so i've had no dinner because i didnt realise till i came home and i can't walk back up there with it- she spent most of the transaction questioning me, having to double check what i asked for and then got my order wrong and my change mixed up.

I was followed to school by a man heckling me about how much money i was trying to get from the insurance and what i should say to swindle them into getting me as.much as possible (after i told him i have no interest in swindling anyone and walking away to keep up with my son).

no amount of polite but firm replies about not wanting to talk about it or needing to get on can stop them- even when i walk away they bloody follow me.

AIBU to want to just reply with "fuck off and annoy someone else" even if i dont actually say it out loud?

Do you REALLY think you are BU to want to do that????

(I hope you feel a lot better soon and that you are left alone without all those stupid bloody questions)

YANBU!

Hope you feel better soon

YANBU. YOur neighbours seem an odd lot and I would want them to fuck off too.

I'm sorry you've been through that
YADNBU. Wankers.

How terrible! Poor you. No yadnbu! Get well soon

thanks for the sympathy! i needed to get that out.

My brother said i was being nasty and that people were just concerned!

glad i'm not being totally unreasonable even if im not quite brazen enough to say it out loud.

No it's not concern when they continuously probe for every detail and completely fail to register your probably obvious discomfort. It's fecking nosiness. Sadly, having grown up in a small village, I know too well what it's like being flavour of the month among the gossip mongers, so to speak. Just bide your time til something happens to them then grill the fuck out of them about it. That'll learn em!

I had a car accident once and the first thing someone I know said to me was "what have you gone and done now?!" like it was my fault.

People are twats.

People are twats! Those close enough to me and who are really concerned have left texts for me to reply to when i feel up to it and haven't probed me beyond an obligatory "how are you feeling today?".

I'm biding my time now.... i'm never usually nosy or tactless enough to pester people in such a manner but i have a feeling they deserve to squirm a bit when their personal lives come under the microscope for whatever mundane reason.

Well I think if it's polite well meaning concern you could say, thanks for your concern, but I'd really like to draw a line under it and move on if you dont mind.

But if they are cocklodgers then yes your fuck off response is perfectly justified.

ps have you tries arnica for the bruises?

some of it is polite and well-meaning, which i don't mind at all, and am used to because everyone knows everyone round here and when something shit happens,people want to know you're ok.

it's just that some people have gone way beyond that and into overly personal stuff, including asking how much money i'm getting out of it?! someone even implied that i use it at my college interview this week to get a pity vote and get into the course.

i have some arnica, putting it on but not really sure how well it's working.
