Warning long post ahead
OMG, I am going to have my first rant on the Focker thread
.
A little background before the rant:
Bill, my significant other has Cerebral Palsy and is in a motorized wheelchair. He is in the masters program at our local university for Rehabilitation Administration. He is in a statistics class he hates. He wouldn't need this class but they combined it with a class he needs so he had to take it. A lot of this class is online, the teacher from time to time likes to put up extra credit questions. Bill has answered many and gotten a lot of them right. There was a woman that started complaining on the message board there that Bill shouldn't answer the questions. The woman doesn't have a computer at home so how is she going to be able to answer them anyway
? Bill wrote something back stating that he had asked the teacher if he should stop answering them, the teacher said first answer right gets the point no matter what. This same woman made some snide comments in class the following week. I have no use for her since she kept doing this to Bill, he is such a sweet soul, he just ignored her.
She is in another class for assistive technology. She needed to interview someone that uses assistive devices. She asked Bill and he told her yes, I don't know why
. She didn't schedule a time to meet him for weeks. She finally emailed him on Tuesday and wanted to interview him after class on Thursday. He met her after class, she suddenly had something she needed to do and wanted him to wait in the computer lab for an hour and a half for her. Bill told her no he had work of his own to get done. She gave him the 30 page survey and had him fill it out. She was supposed to meet him today at 1pm to give it back and have her ask any follow up questions.
Now here is the rant :
It was pouring here today, we got there at 12:55pm and waited for her until 1:40pm. I went with him because sometimes it is hard for people to understand his speech. I am his interpreter
with strangers. Well we left, ran some errands, and got home. At 2:23pm she finally emailed him stating she works nights and thought she would take a "little nap" and didn't wake up until 1:18pm. She said she was sorry and wanted Bill to still help her. By that time I was done with her
but Bill said she could come by today at 4pm.
She met us in the lobby of our building 5 minutes late, we went into the reading room in the community area where it took her 10 minutes to find her stuff. She read through the survey and Bill had answered "none" to many of the things because he doesn't need many assistive technology devices. She stated that Paula, the teacher wouldn't like the "none's". I told her she should have found someone that needed AT since that was the class she was in. She just assumed because he was in the wheelchair he would need a ton of AT things.
She started pushing Bill to change his answers saying he had to need more things, she said this over and over again. Bill kept telling her no he didn't he tries to live as normally as he can. She kept at him again and again. Well he gave me the "help" look and I told her it was enough. That Bill had been nice taking time out of his day yesterday to fill out the survey she should have done, took time out today having him in the rain for nothing and then now getting told his answers were not good enough. Then I threw in the fact that it was not Bill's fault that her paper was overdue. (
my big mouth oops).
Well she lost it started packing up her stuff and complaining that she was just trying to get her paper done. Bill told her that he answered openly and honestly and she should accept that. I told her she had needs to just calm down then she bent down got right in Bill's face and started raising her voice.
Well that my friends was ENOUGH. You don't get in Bill's personal space. I told her to please get out of his personal space, she said she wasn't in it, I said she was and so did Bill. She started getting really aggressive and my friends I lost it
. I am not a confrontational person at all. I said "Bill we need to leave because I want to deck her". She got out her phone and said she was calling 911 because I had "threatened her". I told her to go ahead, I was going to the office and getting her thrown off the property.
She followed me out of the room yelling at me and I turned around and pointed at her and told her to leave. Then she said I tried to "swing at her". I just laughed and went toward the office. She then left.
I will admit I wanted to swing at her
when she was in Bill's face.
I have never seen someone turn things around and lie so easily. I swear she needs to be a defense attorney (no offense to any defense attorneys here), she knows how to deflect blame and lie very well.
Here is it an hour later and my heart rate is still up. Bill says what really upsets him is that because she is able bodied even with her attitude and lack of work ethic she will get a job before he will and that is what really makes me sad
.
Sorry for the long rant.
We have had many a laugh
