Proving Someone Wrong

Tweet

Will you do something that someone tells you that you can't do to prove them wrong? I like to prove people wrong, it gives me some kind of adrenaline rush. I remember when I was a Residential Manager of a Group Home. On this particular day I had to do transportation (picking my individuals from their Vocational Rehab sites and bringing them home)and we were moving an individual from one house to the home where I was assigned to. All the supervisors and other managers where there to help move this individuals furniture to the house I was working at. We were almost done and the time was getting closer for me to pick up the individuals. Every one else was sitting around eating and talking, I'm keeping track of the time and I was taking things out and there was a dresser. I figured since I was the only one working, maybe other people would notice and pitch in. But nobody did, so I took the drawers out of the dresser and picked the dresser up and carried it to the van. Everybody was surprised and then offered to help (after the work was done)and I said I already got it and was ready to leave. Now granted, that example no one said anything, but I proved my point. My husband thinks I'm a 90 pound weakling, and he'll tell me I can't lift/move things that he'll have to wait for someone to help him, but I get it done! I think after he broke his knee/leg he found out that don't tell me I can't do something because I'll prove them wrong!
