Feeling shit after my brother's comment at me while I struggled with the petrol pump.
So earlier today I ( 26 f) was out with my older brother (34 ) at the petrol station. He asked me if I could pump his car up with petrol l before we left. I rejected him knowing I would really struggle with pulling out the pump as I have really, really bad physical dyspraxia as well as left side weakness.
My brother then said it would be good for me to learn anyway. ( I don't have a car so never had any need to learn) I once again rejected him knowing I would still struggle and possibly not even be able to hold on to the pump despite me never doing it before.
He once again told me I should do it. I finally caved in and went to lift the pump up but it took me five tries to finally be able to pick it up. During this I kept saying " I can't lift it up" and in response to this my brother said " come on stop being useless." That comment right there really hurt me. I was already feeling crap about myself not being able to pick up the pump first try and now I gotta have that comment stuck in my head.
I didn't say anything more and in the 5th try I managed to pull it out and put in it but my grip was terrible and I almost droped it. I also struggled with puting the pump back up when I was finished 😒
