Did I screw over a **** man?

[QUOTE="Teenaged"]

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]Wrong. We have ZERO first hand evidence presented in this story. We have second or third hand at best. And I'm skeptical whenever another persons conclusions are involved.

I suppose you have heard the saying...three sides to every story.

But this is not a matter of conclusions. The events are just being trasferred to us. With the narrators conclusions which like I said we do apply skepticism on. But we dont apply skepticism on events selectively. There should be a criterion and a reason why you apply skepticism on the x part of the story and not on the y part. And why the scenarios that you bring up us x and not y.

We, conventionally and for the sake of the discussion (I repeat) assume he is not lying about the events. If we dont, we can apply skepticism to any part of the story. Not selectively and with selective possible scenarios.

All I said was that his co-workers are to blame for the same thing. Therefore if I were them, I wouldnt have the face to go and blame MrGeezer.

[QUOTE="jeremiah06"][QUOTE="Teenaged"]When did I say that we have any first hand evidence?

[QUOTE="jeremiah06"] You guys! This arguing is meaningless. Fact! Two wrongs don't make a right. The tactful thing to do would have been saying no. How crappy of a person do you have to be(noticing that 99% of the posters agree with TC) to go out of your way to screw over a mentally retard man???? I understand you're MrGeezer a man's man, no ones *****, but come on!!! Why not say no right off giving him time to find another ride?jeremiah06

~You made the wrong decision. In fact, you made the cowards decision. What you should have done was not screw him over but instead have drove him home but the next time he asks for a lift say YOU CANT. Saying no really is that simple and you'd be surprised how less people ask you for stuff when you begin to say no often.

[QUOTE="jeremiah06"][QUOTE="Teenaged"]I am not saying MrGeezer was right to not be clear towards the mentally challenged person because his co-workers did the same. or generally didnt treat that person the way they should.

[QUOTE="jeremiah06"] There is a distinct difference between not showing up for a party and delaying him out of pure, admitted spite. "All I did was not show up to a party, you cost him the gold". If a coworker said that they wouldn't be wrong.jeremiah06

Of course the situations are not completely the same but I dont see that huge of a difference that excuses the co-workers to scold Geezer.

[QUOTE="Teenaged"]

I agree. They are not in the position to blaim him for anything.

Except that he wouldn't do that. Like I said, I'm the only one at my place of employment who he asks to drive him around. Any other time, he calls up Carter and has Carter pick him up after getting off work. Carter usually gets off work very late, like 1 AM or 2 AM.

So any way you look at it, as long as I take him home before 1 AM, he's still getting home sooner than if he waited around for Carter to get off work.

Secondly, I don't recall ever telling the dude that I was taking him home as soon as I got off work. If he ever got that idea, he sure as hell didn't get it from me.

wow...just wow

This.

You have to assert yourself. Of course a mentally retarded man does process things far more slowly than others so he may not understand that he is pissing u off.
