Losing my underpinnings .

Post Reply New Topic

I really seem to be falling into getting in trouble/angry situations with stores I go to regularly .
It makes me , at least , not want to go there - And if I run out of places I can go , well - Remember , I am crippled and carless and , just generally , sort of Asperger's-tendencies confined to a very small amount of San Francisco , as I have posted before .
I wrote before about this " doppelganger " who appears to have gotten me in Dutch in the " main " Goodwill and Walgreen's stores near here . And this thing I got into at another Goodwill .
Well , now , yesterday at this Carl's Jr. I got in a dispute with the security guard that maybe has be inclined to not go there any more (Maybe details in my "...Elimination " post later .) .
Then , to-day , I went to this dollar store I've gone to a lot , and - they were REALLY BIZARRE to me (details later) , I stormed out saying I wouldn't go back agin - I did get (duh) some cheap stuff at that DS , what will I do now ??!?!?!???
I don't have very much choice .

You know, I had a best friend in a similar situation to you,
only she was ALMOST homeless when I met her,
she finally ended up in a HUD apartment (Title 8 housing).

In her apartment, she was bed-bound
which meant she had to depend on nurse's aides
to come in for several hours during the week to
help with cooking, cleaning, and groceries.

Well, these nurse's aides would do things like
steal her food or other items, get mad at her for leaving a mess that she was too sick to clean up by herself, buy the wrong food at the grocery store, etc.

Once in awhile, my friend would get mad and "fire" her aide,
call up the nursing agency and say that aide was no longer welcome in the apartment.

I had to tell my friend to settle for one of these aides
and just be nice to one of them who wasn't TOO bad,
because if she made enemies with every single one
and with every single agency ...
then these people would just abandon her
and not care if she died.

Sometimes you have to be nice,
even when the other person isn't.
It can be a matter of survival,
of life or death ...
yours.

You may not like to hear this,
but it's the truth.

I told my friend this straight out, and she knew I only said it because I cared about her.

I hope things work out so that you can settle down like she did,
and even though it's hard,
have some peace in your life.

....I can see your point , but , for instance , as I only outlined here , that " doppelganger " is the cause of the trouble I had at those stores , not I .
I have posted before about that " banned at the library " thing , too .
At that dollar store , it appears to have a root or all in the fact that the counter that day was personned (??) by a male I don't recall seeing before , as opposed to the pleasant young woman who generally held those duties .
However , as regards that dollar store I sort of , to-day , decided not only to burn my briges there but napalm the remmnants and have The Incredible Hulk and Godzilla stomp upon what's left ~ I walked up to the door (with my crutch) and yelled in " I HATE YOU ! f**k YOU ! " or likewise ~ then rolled away : .(

My point included the fact that my friend was not the cause of the trouble with the nurse's aides who stole from her, who got mad at her for being too disabled to clean up after herself, and who messed up with grocery shopping (they couldn't even read a simple list) ... it was the fault of the nurse's aides. I mean after all, it was the job of the aides to clean up after my friend, so there was no reason for them to get angry about having to do precisely what they were being paid to do.

You certainly do have the choice to burn bridges.
