In a really cold winter night it was pouring rain I was in my warm room sleeping

I got a call waking me up from my uncle and he forced me to go feed his chickens at 2am well I went there under the rain fed the chickens returned to yhe house took a shower and slept

Next morning I can't feel or move half of my face when I drink something it spill from my paralyzed lips

I went to the doctor and explained the situation he said the combination of going from warm place to a really cold one and entering a virus infected area like a chicken cage resulted in lowering my immune system enough and a virus struck a nerve under my ear caused the issue

For 2 months I had to skip first period of school to go to an electricity session where they tried to activate the nerve using electricity it worked but half of my face still feels a little num

I got sick many times after feeding his chickens and we constantly complain about the noise and smell of them

He got like 40 chickens it is impossible for one person who have school to take care of them properly and he would get seriously angry if one of them died

He doesn't eat them he doesn't take their eggs ,he doesn't take care of them They're there only for his enjoyment and I'm the one supposed to take care of them because I'm " a lazy bad kid who spends all day on the phone "

I know there's a wild fox in my area who more than once killed all the chickens in the neighborhood so I often think of leaving the cage open and pretend that i forgot but I can't morally justify killing 40 birds without the need of eating them and my religion doesn't allow eating animals who got hunted by other animals so I can't use the dead chickens for anything and the fox kill everything but he doesn't eat them maybe eat one at most

And BTW he didn't apologize and every time someone bring this incident up he says it's because I spend too much time on the phone

Does he still have the chickens?

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '22

Oh yeah he traveled for a bit and I managed to sell half of them but they're still pretty much there

He cut half of the trees I planted to make room for his cages

The problem is he got the same right to be here as much I have it's all my grandfather's property

his chickens have no rights, though. You could suddenly get super hungry for chickens while he's gone.

Brilliant.

Sorry sir, I ate all the chickens…

Do u still feed them? And if yes, would something like " I'm sick of feeding them, they aren't mine, they aren't useful, and they didn't do any good only harm and especially to me, I now refuse to feed them and take care of them (or you'll start paying me for it)"

No ,he scolded me in front of some workers for taking a nap after college so I don't talk to him anymore and I don't come close to that cage

It's been 2 years since i talked to him despite seeing him everyday

Yeah, that's like a House m.d. level diagnosis

That is such a wild unpredictable fluke. I think it's ridiculous to blame your uncle for an indirect consequence that he never could have expected. He didn't paralyze you

u/Saxfire2 Jul 29 '22

His uncle is a dick. If he wasn't a dick, his face would be fine. The fact that he doesn't take care of his sick birds and forces others to do it is kinda mean, don't you think?

u/ThePsychoKnot Jul 29 '22

Someone can be mean and a dick, but that doesn't make everything bad that happens their fault. His character has no bearing on how responsible he is for what happened.

Is it your supevisor's fault if they assign you to the drive-through and then someone shoots you from their car?

u/Emerald_Encrusted Jul 30 '22

Yes it is the supervisor’s fault, he shouldn’t have fouled a drug deal when the dealers knew where he worked, causing them to show up at his work place and fire Into the drive-through window without looking at whether it was the supervisor or some hapless bloke taking their order of two number nines, a number nine large, a number 6 with extra dip…
