If this person accidentally gets injured, did they "have it coming"?

Not neccarsilarily, what if they were blind or deaf or something.

Yes

I don't know that they 'deserved' it, but they had it coming

They didn't deserve it..but..they had it coming.

If they are warned of danger and took the chance anyway, then I'd say they kind of asked for it but I don't know about deserving it.

Its tempting to say yes, but no.

, Yes, they deserved it, they should be killed. (Your home life must be a like a zoo)

It is a good thing that you are adorable!!!

Would you honestly say that a young child, or someone who had a mental or physical disability (blind, deaf, developmentally disabled, etc.) would "have it coming"?

I should have provided a better explanation. Like: You know the person, so you know they aren't disabled.

I still don't think anyone would "have it coming".

I would think that a person creating a physical obstacle to someone else getting things done is putting them in a position to either stop working or risk accidentally hurting them. If you have stuff to do, and someone won't get out of your way after asking them to move I would think they can only expect to be bumped, especially if you are moving large, awkward things around, and they are right up in the middle of what you are doing.

I don't know about 'deserve', but they sure had it coming to them. When my kid does this and gets knocked into, I say, "No whining, you were told. Now please move!"

Looked up the definition of 'deserve' on Dictionary.com.... and I have to say, it pretty much fits this scenario.

For once, I have to agree with Linda on her last post.

"Deserve" is the wrong word. They were partly culpable in their own accident, but I don't think that means they "deserved" to be injured.

What if the y were old and senile or deaf or something.

Well I was just assuming that they weren't

Okay, hey don't you live in Australia too?

Deserve, no. This sounds like a child who did not understand that the warnings they were getting were from the voice of experience. Depending on the age of (assumed) child, s/he should have been given something else to do or the moving of boxes should have been done while someone else was caring for him away from the danger zone.

I put 'I don't know' I guess it depends, If it is a child walking around in the room, and you injure them, I would think it is your fault as a parent to protect them.. If you really need them out of the room, and they aren't listening...walk their little asses to their room. If it is an adult getting in your way, and they get injured, I would probably say, that's what you get, I told you to move fudgeer.

Other: who cares? This must be another LindaH survey, which means the injured person is either your husband or one of your children. Does it really matter whose fault it was or whether someone got what they deserved? If they're not happy with what happened, tell them to leave the room when you tell them to next time, and otherwise, kiss the boo-boo and tell them to either lend a hand or get the hell out of the way until you're done.

deserve it? no but they should realize after all of that that they were highly likely to be injured!

I can think of few, if any, situations where people "deserve" to be injured, but I suspect this person could hardly blame the movers if they were warned and disregarded the warnings.

No one deserves to be injured but they deserve a good "I told you so!" if they do!

Regarding the word 'deserves': I think it's a matter of semantics, like "That's what you get" vs "That's what happens"

Yep. You too huh?

They didn't deserve to get injured but they certainly shouldn't be surprised when it happens and it is their own fault.

i am usually vengeful, but i don't hold grudges long. Though, it might depend on who they are.

I live around Brisbane you?

I'm in Melbourne. I used to live in Brisbane though, I love it up there

What's it like in Melbourne I hear it's very cold.

Melbourne's great, lots to do, but yeah very cold!

It sounds like the opposite of where I live, if you've ever heard of Laidley.

That kinda depends.

It is a good thing that you are adorable...............chol????

I don't really know much about chol at all, just that whoever it is made a survey I liked.

If they have the following, mental or physical disability (blind, deaf, developmentally disabled, etc.) Then of course not!

But, if they're perfectly healthy & are just there annoying the crap out of you while your trying to accomplish something......

Calmly put your stuff down walk over to them & SCREAM in their ear, "Move it before I run your ass over!" THEN if they don't move they had it coming

This has "Linda" written all over it.

I don't think anyone deserves to get injured.

No, but it's their own fault.

If it were my brother, yes. Anyone else, maybe.
