I've learnt to hide the pain inside, open the throttle and ride away.
That old story from back in the '80's. Not possible with the newer stuff apparently.
Tell that to the three old buggers I have locked in the safe. Ungrateful buggers keep wanting their medications, zimmer frames and the TV tuned to *Abe Simpsons' voice* "Maaaatlock".
j/k!

what annoys me about old people is their expectance for me to formulate a simple explination for something that is complex in terms that they'll understand, for something they dont need to know about.
I cant wait till the rest of the world has caught up with my ability to manage technology.
My late mother locked herself out one night - came out to wave goodbye to us, we turn at the lights, she goes back up the drive, only to find the sliding door had locked itself - we were long gone! She went to the neighbour's to ring a locksmith (her place had aluminium windows and my husband had put security locks on them all for her), who arrived about an hour later. He changed the locks for her, no problem there, but refused to accept a cheque. She didn't have a credit card so thankfully she had good neighbours and they gave the guy their credit card number and happily took her cheque. Did he think she was a bad risk? She obviously had her own home and he knew where to find her, so what would the problem be accepting a cheque for something like this?
When I rang her the following day (we didn't get home until about 11pm and she didn't let us know at the time) and found out what had happened I was really annoyed. That was bad enough but then she had a couple of people she thought were helping her who ripped her off too - one was a home handyman who conned her into lending him money and the other was a cleaner who made her pay months in advance then wouldn't turn up. We sorted both out, but what is it about some people who don't think twice about trying it on with vulnerable people?
Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

Cheapest option sounds like a broken window to get into the house (pick a small one) then boarded up for the glazier when they're good and ready 9i.e. no $200 urgent callout.
Mom - you are so right. Society should be judged by the way it treats it's (truly) needy. From your post... I'm not so impressed.
$2,000 cash if you find a buyer for my house, kumeuhouseforsale@straightshooters.co.nz for details
