NDN and snow and disability

[ciele]

I'm quite severely disabled as my NDN knows.
It has taken me 45 minutes and excruciating pain
Aibu to have expected some help to clear my path?

Well, I would not blame your DH and DD for staying away and your poor dog making a run for it. This thread has been oddly fascinating because I have never met anyone with a worse attitude than you OP. Hope your path has been snowed over again, so we can repeat the fun…

You see this all the time on MN. An OP asks a question, other MNers sense what they consider to be a hint of 'entitlement' (obviously the worst sin that has ever existed) and then pile on with hostile and mocking comments. The OP then responds defensively and the MNers get to say 'see? The reason no one is helping you is because you're such a bitch'.

FWIW I don't think that OP has expressed themselves particularly politely on this thread but I don't blame them for being upset and lashing out given some of the responses they've had. I sometimes think MNers forget there is a real person on the other side of the screen and just enjoy an opportunity to scent blood...

Actually, in the majority of cases, there is usually a real sense of support and good-natured humour. The OP really stands out with a horrendous attitude all the way through.

This reminds me if where I used to live. I always cleared my elderly neighbours drive as well as my own, as it was right beside mine and it was going to be hard for her. She never mentioned it or said thanks. Then one day I was in a hurry and didn’t have time to do hers, and she complained about me to the other neighbours. It rathered soured the charitable spirit.

Have you considered that your neighbours can't? Perhaps they have a bad back, or they are not well themselves, or don't have the time.

And finally..... a flounce.

And no you may not have an answer regarding my disability!

Don't worry, you have already answered this Q for us. You have a disability but you can go out in the freezing cold, bend over, lift a shovel and heave snow off a path for 45 mins.

I hope you haven't ever pissed off your neighbours. If you have, they may take photos and send them to the local authority and question your status.

@Breakfastbus. I tried to talk to the op. As did others. We were ignored. Not everyone was bullying. However, the op needs to look in the mirror. And yes, it was a flounce. As a person, who is far too ill to do what the op did, yes, I think what I said was fine. But you come along, pretend like the op was sweetness and light and I’m bullying her.

"pretend like the op was sweetness and light"

Nope. Think you've confused me with someone else

"and I’m bullying her."

Yep

Breakfastbus - have you actually read anything the OP said? They were entitled, goady, changed their story a few times and generally unpleasant.

I really don't see what's wrong with pointing out that a severely disabled person couldn't shovel snow, let alone for 45 minutes. It doesn't really help those of us who constantly have to prove what we can't do.

A flounce is “an exaggerated action intended to show annoyance or impatience”. The ops last post was exaggerated, sarcastic and showed annoyance. My appraisal was highly accurate but hey, I chased her off the thread. 😂😂. Considering that my last and only slightly negative comment on this thread was after her parting comment, I think you’re addressing the wrong person. So find the people, who said some shitty things and have it out with them instead of being nasty to me.

Thanks Francis. Mystic megs son . He must be.

@Mummyoflittledragon

I was clearly being sarcastic suggesting you chased her off. I don't think you're part of a cool gang either.

Suggesting so was oxymoronic as I said the thread was nasty and bullying followed by your jeery reply. I didn't say you threw insults around. You definitely seem more a Crabbe or Goyle type person.

No suggesting so was moronic. Yeh that’s me jeering and sneering from the sidelines. Go on, do an advanced search on me. You’ve got me off to a tee. 🤣🤣

Hi everyone!
Well this has been a rollercoaster, hasn't it? The OP seems to have abandoned posting now and it's really beginning to descend, so we are going to close the thread now so everyone can still see it and 'enjoy' it rather let it dip further and require deletion? Plan?
PLAN.
