Today, I offered to help out at my grandpa's farm, and he had me load buckets of water into his trunk. When he came by and saw me struggling to lift a bucket, he sneered, called me a moron for filling it up before putting it in the truck, and told me to just go home. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my grandpa yelled at me, telling me to stop being ugly and rude. I only asked if he could cut the watermelon. FML
Today, I saw an old man struggling with three bags, so I offered to carry them for him. He must not have heard me because when I bent down to take the bags, he thought I was stealing them and punched me in the face. FML
Today, my father verbally abused me for visiting my sick maternal grandfather, saying I lack common sense and intellect. He was angry that my cousin, who was the driver for the day, had her time wasted, despite the fact that my cousin planned to be with me the whole day. FML
Today, I had to drive all the way across town to clean my grandfather's toilet for him. FML
Today, I went grocery shopping with my grandmother. Our bagger offered to help load our groceries, to which my grandmother replied, "Oh, what a nice young colored boy." FML
Today, I offered to drive my girlfriend's grandpa to the doctor. I thus learned my girlfriend's grandfather has a colostomy bag when it burst all over the inside of my truck. FML
Today, I helped my parents move out of their old house. While I was guiding my dad down the stairs with the couch, my mom asked me to pick up the tape on the step below me. I bent over and grunted. My dad thought I said "Go" and kept moving. He knocked me down two flights of steps. FML
Today, I got mansplained for trying to help a guy secure a machine to a trailer. Not only did he bring the wrong trailer, he tried to ratchet it onto the axle. I load and unload trailers at least once a week. FML
Today, I was helping my uncle clean his house. He's a bit of a hoarder, so I suggested donating some of his pots. We got into a fight and I left. He then called my mom to claim that I stole his pots. After being yelled at he realized that they were in his dishwasher. FML
Today, in a hardware store, I had to physically restrain my senile grandpa from trying to take a crap in one of the display toilets. FML

You were just getting your weightlifting done, saving you that trip to the gym. He's just jealous of your developing muscles and your multitasking skills.

Okay yeah. Would have been smarter to put the empty buckets into the truck first. But calling your grandchild an idiot just makes me mad. What a loser your grandfather is. It's not cool to down someone who is trying to help you. Ever.

What if the person trying to help is actually making it harder by being in the way and takes a longer time to do than if you were doing it yourself.

at least that person offered to help. they gave up their time and energy to try and make your life easier, even if they did end up doing the opposite, they were thoughtful enough to offer

Then the polite thing to do would be to say "normally we would... It is much faster that way." Not call someone a moron.

He sounds like an asshole. Don't sweat it, OP. Water is heavy anyway.

That's what I tell myself when I check my weight on the scale. IT'S ALL WATER!

OP's grandpa did get me to take off my clothes quite a few times. I was going to take them off anyways, but that's besides the point.

Not everyone is right-brained, so thinking outside the box doesn't always come easily. Grandpa could have been less of a tool and given you some pointers.

My grandfather was like that, too. It's a shame when people can't be helpful instead of rude :

One day the grandfather is gonna need help. And no one will be there to help him! He'll get his day.

You offered him free help, he should be grateful for even the most ineffectual assistance.

Clearly no good deed goes unpunished. I commend you for trying to do a nice thing. Some people apparently can't appreciate that

When you live with family members like this, you get good at this sort of thing... at the expense of being able to make mistakes. I hate having a perfectionist family :(
