Can I sue him or something?

I’ve talked about my 80 yr old “maid” here before.

He’s a retired nurse, he’s bright and entertaining, unabashedly gay, and talkative.

My main concern is not doing anything to hurt him, physically.

I’m currently fighting some kind of digestive bug, and don’t want to pass it on to anyone, especially him.

He was supposed to come today, but I’m still iffy. He came and knocked urgently on my window. I opened it and he said, “You still look sick, but I have to talk to you.”

You will think, phone? Text? Email? All answers are “No.” Tony has never figured out the cell phone and besides, we both have some degree of hearing loss. Tony does not, will not, text.

He said, “Tomorrow, at 2? You’re not going to believe it. It’s terrible! It’s horrible!”

I said, “What HAPPENED?”

He said, “No, I’m going to make you wait till tomorrow,” and ran off. On the snowy, icy parking lot.

I yelled, “Don’t RUN ON THE ICE!”

He gave a backward dismissive wave and ran on.

I watched till he made it to his door.

Now I have to wait 24 hours to learn what horrible, terrible thing happened.

This must be legally actionable.

I certainly can understand your concern, because I have older who make me worry about is this going to be the last time I will see him. It’s sad because I wish that I could more for him. It’s really hard because we’re hours and miles apart.

Oh my.....this would make me die of anxiety!
When my son was at uni, he had a habit of texting, "i've had bad news, tell you later" or " something awful has happened" then not ring me for 2 days!! It was seldom as bad as i imagined it would be.....but i'd be hyperventilating for hours!!!
@RubySoo Well, thus far with 4 hours to go, I haven’t actually died. Mad with curiosity? Definitely.
It is socially actionable.

Unless you can develop palpitations or a fear a bad news from this, I think you're out of luck.
@Mamapolo2016 But you've got that BELIEVABILITY which is gold.
@SomeMichGuy Maybe I can spend that when the dollar tanks.

He made it safely.
But it sounds like you won't get any sleep thinking about it.
@Teslin I got pills for sleeping. And now it’s only 16 hrs.
Teslin · M
@Mamapolo2016 Sleep well
@Teslin Thank you. You too.

That wasn't very nice of him
@Cigarguy You know how it is. You work with people concerning their shortcomings so they’ll work with yours.

It better be good, though!
Cigarguy · 41-45, M
@Mamapolo2016 I hope it's worth the wait
@Cigarguy I will report.

😒 i doubt it
@YoMomma I wouldn’t anyway…but geez, Louise.

Dam why did you tell us. Now I want to know… can I sue you? And him?
@TheeRoyalBee Misery loves company. When I find out if I can sue him, I’ll let you know. In the meantime you should be keeping a record of pain and suffering.
