But who cares right? Men are supposed to be Rambo and Dirty Harry and never express empathy right?
I will never apologize for my sensitivity or for the fact he had the same to spend time he didn't have to to give me, but did, gave me my sanity while getting home.
He did save me. He didn't jump into a flood and drag me out of a tree, no. But he did give me emotional support, and that did get me through it.
So are you arguing he shouldn't have done that? Are you STUPIDLY arguing it is wrong for a fellow human being to care about the emotional welfare of a fellow human being?
What I find funny about all my detractors in this thread is that I posted this in the humor section. Which means you don't have a fucking sense of humor.
And he didn't get you through a hurricane...the damn thing was over. You just couldn't find your way home...I suppose it's a good thing someone was able to get you home. You really shouldn't be running around loose.
The flooding eroded countless roads and flooded 60 miles of the main highway 40, my main route I escaped to get to the hotel. News reports during the storm and days after constantly had the routes changing. The flooding was bad and prevented, NOT JUST ME, but thousands of others trying to get back to countless locations. It is stupid to think once a hurricane ends the problems end once the storm leaves.
I didn't have the cell phone technology GawdZilla or laptop technology either. He simply agreed to sit by the phone while I went home to update him as to my road conditions compared to what he could find on his devices. That gave me the confidence to get home. And at the time, I had no clue as to what I was going to come home to. Many parts of the east coast of my state were flattened. I was lucky.
River inlets don't subside in a minute after a hurricane and North Carolina is full of rivers inland. It is stupid of you to think that hurricanes only affect beach communities. Hundreds of miles inland in Durham NC, we had flooding and tornado warnings. The land between my hotel and my home, was greatly damaged and routes back to where I lived changed in the days after due to residual flooding. Gawdzilla simply recognized my anxiety and fear and comforted me in that process getting back home.
