Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I'll try keep it short but theres a colleague where I work who's in his mid-50's, he had a stroke a few years back and lost a lot of the feeling down his left side. As a result he's on a crutch and his left hand is basically useless. 

Anyway, he's a tough bugger - a stubborn one and an "old school" kinda guy. When I met him I didn't like him but I quickly learnt what kind of character he is and I've learnt how to get along without letting him get to me. Mostly he just comes in quietly, stays in his corner of his office and gets his work done. 

Since his stroke obviously his mobility is very limited so when I come to make my morning coffee I always make him a tea and we have some short banter. Generally I ignore the millennials around him complaining that the LUMENS in the fluorescent lights are too bright or some other issue that life is unfair to them. You can't breathe without one of them calling HASHTAG ME TOO or barking on about gender wage gap, being vegan or not recycling properly. 

Anyway, today I go in with my guy's tea and he's not there... just a couple of young female colleagues. I ask "where is old school guy?" and they say "where's the racist, sexist you mean?" - so I said "ah well i'm gonna drink this tea I made for him since he's not here" and they pipe up by saying "yea you're his bitch aren't you?" - so I said "no, the guy has limited mobility so I make him a tea every morning" and as I was walking out they said "yea he's not that limited".

I'll bet you he could make a tea if he really tried, but it would take him around half an hour and he'd probably burn himself. I don't align myself with his racist / sexist undertones (I know when push comes to shove he has a good heart and behind his ego he would want the best for everyone), but the guy can't do everything himself. Am I the asshole for making him feel welcome and trying to make his day a little less shitty?
