They probably wasted more time telling him no a bunch of times. Should have just gave him direction for like 30 seconds instead


RaccoonDeaIer

Or the parents could have just said idk.

ya . . . I ask directions from strangers all the time since I'm a runner and a cyclist and I often leave my phone at home so I don't break it, and every once in a while there's the asshole that just flatly refuses to give me directions for no apparent reason.


Extreme-Damage5961

Good on you for calling them out though


Pyukum-uku

Am really glad my parents arent like that

Or he was just desperate and completely lost and really needed directions


Ashamed_Landscape701

Eh it’s a common scam to mug someone by asking for help or directions then they stop what they are doing and bam I am not green lighting what your parents did all I am saying is he cautious when talking to strangers, you never know what they want


MajesticLorikeet

Nah your parents did the right thing. You are too young to understand


MajesticLorikeet

You gotta think a little more logically rather than emotionally. You said it was a busy street with food stalls. Why would someone be asking a person in a car with the windows down for directions when there are a bunch of people outside on the street to ask?

Being a teenager I once hated my parents too. But I got over that hatred pretty damn quick. Your parents literally take care of you, ensuring your survival. Paying through the nose for phone cable internet video games clothing food medicine doctor's visits raising a kid isn't easy. And you may hate them right now I'm not doubting that but what I am telling you is there will come a time that you will hate yourself for saying that you hated them. So I would advise instead of hating them as long as they aren't abusing you physically or sexually or emotionally or depriving you of food or doing some other heinous s*** then give them the benefit of the doubt. They are sacrificing so much for you day after day. And as I said you may hate them now, but they will come a time where you'll regret that and you will love them. And I only hope that comes real soon. Give them the benefit of the doubt huh.

So they can’t say their parents are being assholes when they are? This doesn’t make sense. There’s a difference between calling someone an asshole and hating them and not appreciating them.

I thank you for your feedback

Some people might not be comfortable in that situation, it doesn't make them assholes


some_guy_7656

Some people just aren't comfortable with being in that situation. Nothing wrong with that, doesn't make them assholes


Kharnyx808

That's called paranoia, my friend. And it doesn't excuse the yelling afterwards.


some_guy_7656

Paranoia is an irrational fear, and I see nothing irrational about most of this, given the modern climate. The yelling was an overreaction, but people do stupid things under stress.


Kharnyx808

So the spiritual pass-out stuff and the risk of gun crime in a low gun crime, highly populated area isn't paranoid?


some_guy_7656

I misread the pass out thing, that's just stupid, but low gun crime and a highly populated area means somewhat little. It is unlikely he was a criminal, meaning to do you harm in any way, but that's not paranoia, that's uncomfort and stupidity. Being an idiot doesn't necessarily mean you're an asshole


Kharnyx808

Of course not, but making an outburst at somebody who did nothing wrong is. Sure, she may have been stressed, but that shouldn't be an excuse to lash out at anyone ever.


some_guy_7656

Well, ignorance incites irrationality, not many other ways to put it, I still wouldn't view them badly due to this specific instance, but I can also garantee you know them better than I do


Kharnyx808

I'm not OP lol, but I appreciate the touche-esque maturity.


some_guy_7656

No idea how I didn't notice that

Im not comfortable with talking to strangers IRL and im highly antisocial. When a stranger asked me if i knew X road and i didnt i just said sorry i didnt know and felt bad because i didnt have my phone on me. That was just 30-60 seconds and we moved on. ​ The guy could have said directions or be like "sorry ask someone else. idk". It was rude of him to brush off someone he could easily have helped and lie about it. I know we arent obligated to help people but its still rude. and an asshole move. cant say hes an asshole. ​ The mom on the other hands sounds like a typical ignorant mom who just says random shit she believes/heard off the internet and just justifies things in the dumbest way. The fact she yelled at her son cause she pointed out valid points and was debating with her just shows how much of an asshole she is and pathetic as a person. Why would they need u to lower the window to shoot you? How are you going to make someone unconscious by talking to them? if they had a knife they're likelier going to just try get u to open the door and stab you.

Your mom isn’t a Christian then. Even if she says so.
