So pissed off.

[aide]

Goddamn neighbour came by AGAIN.  She came by this morning when I was getting ready for work so I told her to fuck off cuz I didn't have time.  Well, not to "fuck off" exactly but she wouldn't have understood if I did.  She came back tonight and I had Dan and Yvonne both talk to her and even they didn't know what the fucking problem was.  I think the problem is she won't speak.  So how can I know what your deal is if you don't fucking tell me?  Managed to get out of her that she's dirt poor, lost everything and has no job, she probably has to move out of the building and something about a name check (for her? some American guy? I don't know) that she thought was next June, but it's actually this June and she has to go to Yokosuka, the American army base in Yokohama for it... and?  What do you want me to do?

So I told her I wasn't American (to which she was shocked; sorry, not all white people are Americans), I'm not this "Mr Nancy" she keeps talking about and I don't know what her problem is and I can't do anything.  She said she'll try harder by herself... I wonder.  She'll probably come back later and waste another hour of my life standing outside my door in silence.  I'm not a fucking mind reader lady.  Even if there is a language barrier, if you don't speak, no one is going to know what you want.

This whole fucking exchange took about an hour.

Am I a total insensitive asshole for getting angry?  I sure feel like one but I restrained from yelling at her because I sure as hell felt like it.  But she already looked like she was about to cry.

I still feel for you, but i'm wondering is she got conned or something. O.O

No, I don't think so. You'd have the same problem in the ER - if someone doesn't give you all the details, how the hell can you help them? You can't not help them, but you run the risk of incorrectly treating them, lawsuits, if something arises as a result of misinformation or entirely lack thereof.

Haha awesome on the "not all white people are Americans" :X

Agreed with the others...I dislike people wanting help but not say what they need help with =(
