@msolga,

It really IS hard to know whether or not to become involved.
Its my nature to keep a good distance and mind my own business
most of the time, but not always, depending on the circumstances
and my mood at the time.

Sometimes, when I feel like it,
I R.A.S.K. (a random act of senseless kindness) and then hit the road
to avoid any negativity like what hit u, Olga.

MsOlga, you knew the right thing to do. He wasn't wanting help, but that doesn't mean that what you did was wrong. Uhoh, or does it? This sounds like philosophy (backs into a quite corner out of philosophy's way).

@littlek,
Thanks, JPB, David & k.
I'm over it now. Smile
It was a very hot morning (about the 6th in a row, everyone's feeling quite wilted) & I figure this man was feeling the strain, too. Maybe he was just plain sick & tired of the amount of effort required to achieve a such simple things like entering a cafe? He was probably (understandably) having a bad morning. And it was Friday the 13th, too! Smile

@msolga,
He was obviously stupid Olga. If you had asked me if there was anything you could do to help my eyes would have lit up and my joys would have known no limit. I welcome help wherever and whenever I can find it.

@msolga,
Friday the 13th! That explains everything.

I went to pick up a prescription today and the pharmacy told me my insurance company wouldn't cover it. When I called the insurance company it seems there was a discrepancy over my birth date between the pharmacy records and those of my insurance company. My current husband gave the insurance company the wrong year -- making me one year older!

@Tai Chi,
20 strokes of the cane are in order for an offence of that magnitude. Laid on.

One of my daily medications is whats called a "rescue inhaler" the info sheet that comes with it suggests the user have two on hand as there is no way to know the amount of the contents, yesterday I called the pharmacy for a refill and asked that I should get 2 instead of the usual one and explained my need and that I would pay the additional cost in cash. the nice lady said she would make sure to include the second inhaler. Today we drove the 45 miles to the pharmacy and picked up my total number of refilled medications. when we got home I opened the sack to find one inhaler.

Nah, I think he was hot & bothered & fed up, spendy. Perfect day for feeling like that.

But I'm with you. I really appreciate kindness & consideration from complete strangers, say nothing of those I know well .... It gives me a warm glow! Very Happy

The moral of the story is:
don 't trust people to do the right thing (or keep trust to a minimum, anyway).

Next time, check up on them b4 u have driven the 45 miles home.
(Maybe thay will deliver the extra one?)

I guess pharmacies shoud sell defensive guns (rescue guns)
since u need to protect your health, right? Ask them.
Maybe thay 'll give u a free one, to make amends for the mistake.

David, sometimes you say some very silly things.
This is one of those times.

I make it a practice to open the bag n CHECK.
Look to see what is IN there.
I have a lot of confidence in human stupidity,
because I have been a witness to so much of it.
I guess u think that is a very silly thing.

Actually, that was a note of humor about the guns.

Honestly, David, it's hard to tell.
You say the same thing over & over, no matter what subject you're discussing ...
