I think Gary's hearing has caused him to invade personal space (not his fault he's just getting close to hear better), but it makes the others uncomfortable, it's not helped by him talking in riddles half the time (Gary is one of my favourites, and it amuses me when he does this, i love seeing the HM's faces doing the wtf expression,lol.)

I think the others haven't cottoned on to looking at him straight on so that he can lip read (a lot of people with hearing problems do this), they instead look to the floor whilst talking or talk whilst looking around, or talk whilst walking off.

I feel sorry for Gary as it's becoming increasingly obvious to himself that he's disliked, and that must be horrid for him to experience.

Hi Ruby, I think it is the others we have to feel sorry for, they are just jumped up wannabees who have to have a scapegoat. There is usually one or two in each series, this time it is Gary. After all he has reached the big 70. What some of them should remember is this, we are all on a learning curb and age does not have any boundaries. They think they are young, attractive and adorable little things but they have so much to learn. Some are at that stage whereby they wouldnt even want to admire an "old twisted fool" in their eyes. They are so wrong it is so so sad.

I doubt very much whether he cares if they like him, he is not vindictive and he realises that they to are on that learning curb, they have a long long way to go. He understands the emotions and the whys and wherefores, why did they do that. Can I ease their pain? I do not think he is the least bit concerned about himself. He has a far better insight than any of them will have at this moment in time. There may come a time when they will look back and see what despicable creatures some of them were, I doubt it though as they will make excuses to themselves and then go on to the next car crash. They will soon be forgotten and possibly end up in an OAP home with a Mama Dee looking after them and bullying them into submission.
