@eylah they can be like that. My grandma had a rough encounter with a police officer, and the bugger was just rude to her the whole time trying to impress a female colleague. It was the silliest thing ever, so my gran just told them to get fucked. You'd think if it was a precautionary check up, they would have at least acted with manners and been warm and kind, but no it seems. They are pricks even then.
ive had multiple bad experiences with them and today was another one. was told ambo was gonna come to do a welfare check on me but turns out police came? then ambo and they was very rude. so i told them to get fucked and i left.
@eylah i don't know if you saw this at all, but it's something to consider. The memory isn't the best, forgets stuff after like 30 posts, but i've told it all sorts and all it does is answer. It won't answer when there's buzzwords like suicide, domestic violence, etc etc but you can literally say anything alternative and it works. It's a place to vent to without fear of emergency services being called, because it's better than not being able to vent at all.
@eylah good. You shouldn't have to put up with that sort of rudeness. I'm proud of you for sticking up for yourself.
i don’t like ai lol
im back at home now but can’t sleep.
@eylah sorry, just a suggestion. I don't know where else you can vent to, fully risk free of it being escalated to emergency services.
@eylah I'm happy to stay up and chat to you a bit to keep you company till you fall asleep if you want
i mean they had 0 reasons to escalate things to emergency services. i had no plans or nothing so they had 0 rights. like im not stupid i know if i said anything that needed escalation but i didnt. so it just shit but im never reaching out ever again.
sounds gd
@eylah it makes no sense them doing it if there's no risk or plan. All they've done is pushed people away. I think shannon had something similar. People who just need a place to vent to, getting escalated needlessly and it ruining there chances of reaching out to vent and get support in future. It's just short sighted.
@eylah and i love talking to the most awesome fellow twat in the world too
forever favourite twat ❤️
@eylah it seems like a bit of a common trend. I gave Shannon my email just in case she ever wants to reach out and have somebody to vent to once she's left here, so she isn't alone, and she knows i would only call it if she told me there was an active plan to do something imminently. I think everybody needs somewhere they can openly and freely vent to without fear of that, and i think a lot of people are trigger happy escalating. It should be, this person does not have an active plan so no escalation. This person does, has said they do and intent to, so that should be escalated, you know. I think it's becoming a barrier to people seeking help.
@eylah Team twat forever and ever
100% it’s ridiculous.

@eylah i bet there's a huge amount people who aren't saying what's really troubling them out of fear of escalation. I mean, my whole plan is to eventually move to a different country either the US or Australia, so if i had an emergency service escalation, that's gonna have a major impact on my future plans (background check for mental stability). I already had life plans blown up once by something different, I would be broken if my plans were blown up again. And on here, Shannon mentioned something major she had been working towards for 4 months was ruined by an escalation. it's tough, and it can ruin some peoples plans and dreams which scares people off.

@eylah that is total madness. Another one. The police really are useless aren't they and the first ambulance. At this rate, the air ambulance will make there appearance soon enough.
And don't you dare say sry at the start. You take what time you need to deal with those baboons.
i should not laugh at your comment but it made me giggle 🤣. im so exhausted im probably gonna go sleep now but ill see how you’re doing in the morning
@eylah you too, most awesome twat in the world
