When Disability Becomes Embarrassing – Part 4
Fred Gets Taught a Lesson
The final day of the conference everyone was tired, but content they had gone, conquered and achieved what they had gone there to do.
I came across Fred and in a casual setting he approached me to apologise for the previous night at the dinner and throwing me under the bus in front of everyone.
I told him “It’s OK, because I had been about to tell him to go outside and call all his friends and family and loved ones and tell them how much he loved them!” because I was going to kill him.
He seemed to sober immediately and to confirm he wouldn’t do it again. I told him it would be OK because I could always claim brain injury to “get off”.
I left him with a friendly pat on the side of his arm, but I think he also knew not to do it again. It should be a warning to others.
DO NOT MESS WITH HELEN.
Yet to kill anybody, but there’s always the first.
Those kinds of people think an apology wipes the slate. Karma will get them in the end — like a T-rex biting their butt. 🙂

Karma got him that day already. He didn’t give me any credit because he under-valued my intellect just because I have a brain injury. Fairly certain I won that day.Cheers,H
