Rizzo Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 In the absence of a "infuriating things your grandparents do" thread I'll need to rant about this here. My grandmother phoned me yesterday asking me to research a conference camera which would allow her to have a video conference with her friend and also her physiotherapist. According to her she had a phone call from Larbert hospital yesterday and her physiotherapist suggested she get herself a conference camera so that she could be shown how to do exercises, stretches etc. The fact that a particular brand and retailer was mentioned made me think this was likely to be someone trying to get money out of her but I couldn't find anything when I searched for known conoravirus scams. Apart from anything else she was having difficulty describing what the thing was so I promised to try to find out. She then phoned me back some time later to say that her friend's son was going to try to get the thing for her in Falkirk. I knew fine that even if he did manage to buy what she was looking for that there was no way in hell she'd be able to set it up herself. Her husband is 80yo and had a heart transplant in 1999, and so, in the current climate, is being advised to shield heavily. According to my grandmother the physiotherapist didn't object when she was told that I would buy the camera and come round to set it up. She is taking this to mean that it's fine for me to do so. Naturally I've told her that won't be happening but she is adamant that it's fine as long as I'm not showing symptoms. She is now no longer speaking to me because she thinks I'm being difficult and that I grassed her up to my dad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of a scene from the Lee Marvin war film 'The Big Red One'. A group of German soldiers are posing as Americans but are found out because they have good table manners - they keep the fork in the left hand and knife in the right instead of swapping the fork over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
