Neighbour Vs Nurse. Who was wrong?

[SlimedShit]

My elderly neighbour is upset as she's just had a run in with her nurse. The nurse visits her every night to give insulin. Tonight neighbour says that when nurse arrived, she stunk of garlic. She said "have you been eating garlic?" Nurse replies "yes, can you smell?"

Following exchange ...

Neighbour "yes it stinks"
Nurse "laughs" "that's the problem with garlic I suppose"
Neighbour "it's a horrible smell, it's making me feel sick"
Nurse "really? Nobody else has mentioned it"
Neinighbour "yes well they're too polite. It really does stink"
Nurse "ok, are you ready for your insulin?"
Neighbour "you should think about your patients before eating stuff like that"
Nurse "I disagree. The majority of nurses go above and beyond to please their patients and if we started getting told what we could and couldn't eat I'd leave to be honest."
Neighbour "I don't think it's a lot to ask that you respect your patients and not make them feel sick"
Nurse "I feel that dictating what a person can and cannot eat is a huge ask personally. I certainly wouldn't change my eating habits to please someone else"

The visit ended and nurse left. Neighbour is now in tears at the way she was spoken to. I feel for her but also think she was out of order!! She basically told this poor woman that she smelt horrible. I told neighbour I could see both sides but the nurse should have been more professional and not do narky. Neighbour is now upset with me! AIBU to think she caused this by being rude?

And I was talking about if you owned your own private business.

Not if you were a private employee.

Sorry, if you're struggling with the difference.

If you own your own company you may choose not to eat garlic.
If you are employed either by a private company or public sector you may not be as bothered.
Neither the NHS or a private firm can sack someone for eating garlic.

No, you said "if you smell they employ someone else", so it's clearly about the owner firing the smelly employee and hiring and non smelly one.

I'm not struggling with the difference, you are the one struggling with what you have written and wanting to wriggle out of it.

Your double standards are showing badly.

No you really are struggling.

If you smell they employ someone else so yes you'd be careful if you wanted your business to succeed

I was talking about the client employing someone else.....i.e. They would find a new tutor or masseur. Which is fairly obvious from the second part of the sentence where it says if you wanted your business to succeed

And even more obvious when looking at the whole post

Working with paying customers is different. If you smell they employ someone else so yes you'd be careful if you wanted your business to succeed.*

Very obvious I was talking about a paying costume employing someone else, not an employer firing an employee.

Customer not costume.

So no double standards here at all.

Not my fault your reading comprehension is lacking.

Pass I'm getting bored with this.

If you write something at least stand by what you are writing instead of trying to wriggle out.

Ot if you meant to write something else then write it.

Are you thick or something?

I always stand by what I say and. Continue to do so.

What's hard to understand about

Working with paying customers is different. If you smell they employ someone else so yes you'd be careful if you wanted your business to succeed.

Especially in the context that at that point in the thread someone was talking about how they were a private tutor and I was responding to their thoughts about how as a private tutor she would be careful what she ate.

Even if you didn't read the previous comments and I admit it isn't obvious I was replying to those comments it's obvious from the part of my sentence where I say if you want your business to succeed that I'm not talking about an employee. Employees don't own the business. I don't know why you're struggling to grasp this so much.

Notsobeachready yes I know that one, I'm not gigantic but patients love to tell me I'd be so pretty if I wasn't so fat.
I completely ignore it now and never rise to the bait - it's what they want.
I think it's bloody rude to comment on the garlic especially when the nurse will only be there for 5 minutes, mind you I never go to work stinking of garlic personally but even if I did I would not expect anyone to comment on it.
Imagine if you were an Indian nurse say and a patient said you stunk of "foreign" food - totally unacceptable and yes I've seen this happen.

Old neighbour was beyond rude

Working with paying customers is different. If you smell they employ someone else so yes you'd be careful if you wanted your business to succeed.

The "they" in the above is obviously the paying customer. So they find a different tutor/massage person. I really don't see how you can interpret it as anything else.

PassIt seems the only things you can write clearly are personal insults.

Keep trying, you'll get there.

For someone who's so bored of it you're spending an awful lot of time trawling through my posts, quoting me and totally twisting what I said.

How funny!

And I think everything I've written is perfectly clear.....not my fault you're struggling to understand.
