Momo isn't an idiot. She knows May. May just came and was ranting about it directly to Momo, still sounding angry and resentful seemingly a decent amount of time after it happened (as she had to finish up her shift, come over to the library, etc), do you really think she thinks that May was anything less than bite your head off with Winslow?
derris_kharlan:
Nothing Winslow did was deserving of the reaction he got. May is the one who should apologize not Winslow. He was not flaunting his good fortune, simply enjoying it. There was no malice behind his actions, no effort to cause harm, not one single ounce of ill intent. He is not using the benefits he has to harm or insult others, he is not abusing his fortunate/privileged situation in any way. He also offered to do whatever work was needed to pay for it himself. He made an effort to ensure that HE was the one paying for the new chassis. Further, I don't doubt he has done tasks for Hannelore over the years that he probably would have gotten compensated for anyway. Someone needs to stand up for Winslow and remind May that whatever unfortunate circumstances might have contributed to her current situation that were beyond her control (if any) aren't the fault of Winslow (nor any of her other aquiantances) and mistreating them because of her anger/rage is unfair.

This is an important point that has been completely overlooked in the discussion. Of course, May doesn't know that, but she has no reason (given Momo's situation for comparison) to ignore the possibility.

This! May says Winslow should think before he acts, but does she do so herself?

It's certainly an important point. She just assumes he was handed it to him on a silver platter, on a whim. It may be true he didn't reflect, perhaps, on the consequences of his newfound independence, but at the heart of the decision was a very physical problem he needs to resolve. As noted in the relevant thread: how long had he been laying there, before asking help?
Case:
--- Quote from: Cornelius on 17 Aug 2017, 04:58 ---Equally seriously, I'm wondering what Pintsize's reaction will be. Something like this?
--- End quote ---
"So, why do you stop?"
"I think I lost an iron, boss"
