There was once this guy in the neighborhood, I'll call him Cloyce just to give him a name, who was never satisfied. If he appeared to be struggling and you offered a hand he'd snap, "I'll ask for help when I need it!" Yet if you didn't try to help he'd remark with a sneer, "Can't you see I need help?"
Me Pops finally barked at Cloyce, "Now look, buddy, you can't have it both ways. Either accept or decline help gracefully if offered, or ask for it when you need it. Otherwise shut up!"
I don't know what affect it had on Cloyce overall, but he never bothered the old man again.
