So I've been walking
around like this since Saturday
Not the end of the world, and I'll recover but it is hard not to notice I am currently one handed
This morning, someone asked me to move a couple computer components around because I'm the "IT person" (which I’m not)
I stared at the person blankly
The person stared back
Can you do it today I
was asked
I continued to stare
in muted fashion at said person
The person stared back
When I still said nothing, the person said to me
So I take this to mean
you are unwilling to help?
No I said, I’m
willing to help, are you?
Their response?
You know, you
really should try to be a bit more considerate when people reach out to you for
help
You’re right I said
So I crawled around on the floor undoing cords and cables then asked the person to move the tower and monitor for me
Can’t you just sort of push it?
Well I said, it’s a bit heavy and I’d rather not drop it or you know, hurt my hand any more than it is
Never mind, the
person responded in that tone that says I don't even know why I bothered asking you, I’ll get someone else to do it for me
I just need you move the tower for me
You said the tower AND monitor
Yes, I did - you're right - sorry
Never mind, I'll just get someone else
Can someone please explain how I'm the jerk in this situation?
Totally fine if I am, I just need to know the logic behind the argument
Oh and by the way, I moved the tower myself...AND the monitor...no one has yet to notice
