'You're useless sometimes': 72-year-old lady snaps at helpful neighbor for not fixing her TV fast enough to watch a full episode of Jeapordy, neighbor refuses to lend a hand ever again

Are you tech-savvy? You might not really feel like you are, but to older people, you might just be considered a tech wizard. My grandparents are just pushing 70 at the moment, and yet even they act like I am some type of genius for showing them how to take a screenshot with an iPhone. They don't need my help that much, though, because they've mastered the art of Googling querries and finding helpful videos on YouTube.

In our story today, a woman's elderly neighbor has not quite gotten the hang of her smart TV. Honestly, I don't blame her; I've only used them at hotels while abroad, and they're all different and a little confusing. Our protagonist helps her when she has the time, but when the 72-year-old snaps at her for making her miss an episode of Jeapordy because she didn't respond to her beck and call fast enough, she bows out from her charitable duties.

Well, if they think that Nancy needs someone to rely on, why won't they step up? Why does the responsibility lie on our protagonist? Are these mouthy neighbors incapable of using a smart TV, too?

Even if her neighbor is experiencing cognitive decline, our protagonist doesn't need to put herself in a place where she is being demeaned.
