Yeah, we know. We have the ability to forsee potential problems before they occur and plan for contingencies in our lives. But thanks, person who can't meet their own basic needs. Thanks for your help. Maybe focus on helping yourself for a change before thinking about us - we're doing ok, reading this in our living rooms.

Your reply is completely uncalled for. I hope you're able to get professional help for whatever it is in your life that drove you to be this callous toward someone.

Oh, I have a great life, no complaints here. I just have no patience for attention-seekers with a victim mentality. But thanks for your concern!

It can be really hard to understand why people do what they do. But I do know from personal experience that shelter insecurity is one of those pervasive stressors that makes everything difficult.

Maybe their phone getting screwed up was the proverbial last straw. Now, instead of a calm, considered approach, they're fighting exhaustion and panic while trying to problem solve.

But no matter what their circumstances, being vile toward them is unwarranted.

Hey dude. This is probably the most vile thing I've read in a while. You should be ashamed of yourself.

All that tells me is you don't read the news. What I said isn't even in the top 10 most vile things said publicly today. So maybe that sensitivity threshold is set too high.

> You should be ashamed of yourself.

Unlike OP, I'm not claiming to solicit advice. Keep it to yourself, I'm entitled to my opinions.
