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

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.

Well, your grandpa's a jerk, but that really is pretty sad if your old man's old man is stronger than you.

It's the thought that counts.

Thinking about being nice and trying to be nice is not the same thing as effectively being nice. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

He's likely known to load the buckets in the truck before filing for so long it never occurred to him to tell OP. I'll bet the look on his face was priceless when he saw op struggling.

WORK SMART... NOT HARD. lol

I totally agree. If he was struggling he should have found an easier solution.

He's got a point, work smart can save a lot of hard work! He shouldn't have sent you packing though.

A farm is a business, not an amusement park for city slickers to play out "Green Acres" fantasies. You may suck at farm work, but I'll bet your grandpa blows at WoW, Snapchat and GTA!
