You know what sucks? I'll tell you what sucks. |
|
Someone sends up a flare looking for help. People respond. Person accepts help and then proceeds to act like a total shitbag toward those that have reached out.
Sucks beyond measure. It's not like this group was looking for accolades for what they had done. Just, (I would guess) not looking to get shit on behind their backs.
Rant off.

5. I just can't believe the way some people behave. |
|
It absolutely boggles. If you are going to accept help, be gracious about it. The people who helped certainly were.
Some people are just shitty people.

7. I've seen that happen here too. |
|
Not very often, but I've seen it happen. A bit less horrid but still annoying, are people who ask for help, and never acknowledge anyone's responses.

6. Just a long lead up to this rant. |
|
Been going on for about 4 months and it finally reached a peak this weekend with some very unkind things said to and about some folks who went out of their way to help someone in need.
I understand that there might be an element of embarrassment, but it would really behoove the recipient to STFU and not trash the ones who helped.

10. Eh, it's just been building for a while. |
|
Standing by and watching it happen is what finally made me snap a bit.
Amazing the things you find out IRL when Comcast can't get you online. :rofl:

11. Sounds like that person has ALOT of issues |
|
And maybe they have to hit rock bottom before they understand that. I hate to see this kind of thing, but unfortunately I've seen it PERSONALLY (family shit) and it sucks big time for those who just want to help....:hug:

12. The weird thing. This person put it out there that they needed help. |
|
People responded. I can say with certainty never again. This person could starve at this point and I doubt anyone would even shed one tear.

trying to ameliorate a feeling of being 'less than' for having to ask for help.
*sigh*
People, huh?

Someone asked for help. Help was given and now the person who has asked for help is shitting all over those responsible for the help.
People generally suck, I am learning the hard way.
No biggie. I'll get over it. If the shittee can get over it, so can I.
