Taylor, don't let the jerks get you down.
The bottom line is, you did nothing wrong; you have often gone "beyond the call of duty". There are people who are self-centered and rude, and you will never be able to please them, no matter what you do. People who think "it's all about ME" come in all sizes and colors, hearing AND Deaf. Some people say they want advice but really are seeking attention for their drama, or a sneaky way to bash someone else, or want a pity party. They don't really want useful advice that can solve their problem; they want sympathy, attention, revenge, whatever, but they don't want serious advice. Sometimes they want a scapegoat for their own goof-ups. People who serve the public (waiters, terps, store clerks, nurses, and yes, COPS) are convenient scapegoats for the problems of the world.
So please don't take their insults personally. The rest of us love and appreciate you.
As for the jerks--kick 'em to the curb!
