If he has so much life experience as a 70 year old, how does he not know how to behave and speak to people properly? idgi.
Gary reminds me a lot of my Bampy who died a few years ago, he was a gentle person.. but he had no social awareness at all and thought he could get away with it because of his age and hearing problems, people always tried their best to deal with him, to help him with everything that he needed or wanted, but in the end he'd turn round and say the wrong things to people and upset them and never apologise because he thought he didn't do anything wrong, it's incredibly hard to deal with, so I, in all honesty can see why the housemates are getting annoyed by Gary, they have tried to help him and talk to him but he just doesn't seem to understand that his attitude is a major problem.

I cannot see that he is insufferable, he seems to listen, didnt he shower when he was told to
He just needs someone to understand and not make fun of him. To be deaf is to not be able to understand a conversation in bulk, as we know, it is a very lonely thing. He is better on a one to one basis but they seem to walk away. Remember Sam who won against Dexter, I didnt like him at all but he said that no one would talk to him, now he was a young person. He felt left out because of his disabilty. Very sad but he won.
