I Lost The Plot With Dwp On The Phone

[gordie1]

Hi there I was on the phone to DWP to this really officious woman and I lost the plot and I called her a F*** b. She then said "calls are recorded and you will be having contact" at that point I put the phone down. Now I am all worried the law will come. However I had 2 other calls with them later which was fine and really nice people after that surely if she was that bothered she would have blocked me from calling. It is now 1030pm and this was at 12 surely I would have heard something by now. I am all paranoid do you think I have anything to worry about or am I being paranoid??

You poor man gordie1 you are getting mixed responses here,a lesson learned I think,I don't condone abuse but I think you have learned a harsh lesson in the way you feel and feel genuine remorse about it. Take care and sleep well.

I agree with Murraymints - racial abuse is a completely different issue.

Please do not worry yourself over something you have said in the heat of the moment, and something that you are clearly remorseful for. I wouldn't ring and apologise either, IMO it's best left as it is.

So, you've done it once before, you recognise you have an issue (hence the calm friend. Yet you've done it again? Something tells me you don't learn by ur mistakes.

[mrs.chappie]

Oops, sorry Vakayu, seems I've said pretty much the same as you have. Your post wasn't there when I started typing mine.

If my CH packed up at night I would accept the fact, have an early night and try to get it sorted in the morning.

The letter was a warning and the end of the matter Gordie.
As long as you don't do it again everything will be fine.
I'm glad you have someone who can call for you. It's a good idea to have some practical support like that to stop you making things worse for yourself.
I'm glad you're sorry. You should be be but please don't beat yourself up about it. Learn from it but don't punish yourself.
We're all only human after all.

Good luck with the counselling Gordie.

The guy in question never did do the community service as his health deteriorated, and he is now in a worse state than ever. I'm not in contact with him now, so I can't get the exact times involved. But I do believe he received notification of their intention to prosecute fairly soon after the event.
In his case he did lay on the racial abuse ...
all the same you can't give abuse out just because you don't get what you want.

It is not worth getting angry I have high blood pressure a stomach ulcer and atrial fibrillation if that is not telling me I need to deal with my anger I dont know what is I am going to bed now and I know assumption is the mother of all mistakes but I am assuming I would have heard from the police by now it would not take that long. But I am going to change

[gordie1]

thanks sherradk

Goodnight gordie1 and sleep well,tomorrow is another day!

alavahalf, what gordie said was not racially motivated. What your friend said was. Depending on "media sensitivity" at the time your friend could have had a harsh sentence. It's not the same as Gordie's case.
Gordie said Stupid bitch. This was a general insult. Please don't stoke a fire where dry grass lies :)

Go to bed gordie.....nothing is going to happen..trust me and my many years experience as the one at the other end of the phone....get some sleep....
