There's dumb, and then there's this guy

[Mighty Girl]

We recently lost my uncle to cancer, and it was his wish to be cremated. He was sick for quite a while, and spent his last couple of months in hospice (heavily doped up, thank goodness), so while I am grieving, I'm really glad he's not in pain anymore. As a sidenote, he was a pretty big guy. Well over 6 feet tall and stocky.

So, obviously when they had the visitation/memorial service, there was no body to be "viewed". His son made a really nice chest and put his dad's ashes in there with several of his favorite things. It was really heartwarming.

In walks some guy, I have no idea who he was, was later told he was a former co-worker. He took one look at the chest and said, "How the hell did they fit him in there?"

Mind you the box was about 3 feet long and 2 feet wide.

I'm so glad I was sitting down or I probably would have hurt myself.

Honestly why do they let some people out of the house...

Wanna find out? Come right this way.....

What an inconsiderate little sh*t says something like that at a funeral. :|

MightyGirl, some people are just dumb. I recently ended a friendship with an idiot. His idocy is only part of the reason I ended the friendship. (The other reasons were he was selfish and too defensive of things he knew nothing about, but that's another post.) A few weeks ago I was having dizzy spells so I went to the doctor and she discovered my ears were so full of wax that it had backed up to my inner ear. She cleaned 'em out and viola, I was fine.
So I was telling Idiot about this procedure (I had been having stomach problems).

Me: I had to get my ears cleaned out today because I've been having dizzy spells.
Idiot: Uh-huh.
Me: It was interesting; I had so much wax backed up that I was amazed at how well I could hear afterward!
Idiot: Huh? Your ears made your stomach hurt?
Me: (:burnup: AAAAGGGGHHH!!! Don't you EVER listen?) . . . No. I just told you; I've been dizzy.
Idiot: Oh.
Me: Yeah. Anyway, they squirted water into my ears and the wax came out. It feels amazing now!
Idiot: Wait . . . so they squirted it in one ear and it came out the other?


:eek: :flame: I am so so glad this friendship has since ended. Ignorance and an opinion don't mix.

Some people. :no:

Mighty Girl, I'm sorry for your loss.

Well, we FINALLY have the answer to the age old question, "Is stupidity painful?" Yes. Yes, it is. Unfortunately, it's only painful to the smart people.

:wtf:

My dad would kid with me like this. I would say one thing and he would act as though I am talking about something else. I used to annoy the hell out of me, now I wish he were here doing it. He lives in PA and I'm stuck down here in the idiot belt.

Also sorry to hear about your loss.

I went to funeral once who a guy who was fairly high up in a company. All the executives showed up to pay their respects, so there were a lot of guys in expensive suits hanging around.

One of those guys hunkered down in front of everyone and knocked on the bottom on the casket. "Damn," he said, "that's real wood."

WTF?

[kerrisan]

My dad would kid with me like this.

Mine would do silly stuff like that too! Unfortunately, this guy says alot of stupid things straight-faced.

Me: (talking about a certain movie) I didn't like it; it had no character development.
Idiot: I know; those kids acted like they were in college and they were really in high school!


:cry:

Kerrisan it sounds like your ex-friend could do with having the wax flushed out of his ears, too.

Nah, the wax is in his brain.

[Rahmota]

Kerrisan: You exfriend makes my brain hurt and I'm just getting third hand stupidity from him.

Mighty: Hmm I guess I should be glad that I've never encountered anything like that at a funeral. Though you could have replied that your uncle studied Yoga and wanted to be buried in Bastardituskissiesmyarsies position.:angel:

My dumb earwax story: I had a blockage in my left ear a while back, when I was still working in the store. I'm right handed, so I usually answered the phone on my left side so my right hand is free to use the computer mouse or write (I also have slightly better hearing in my left ear. Well, normally). So for 2 days I could hardly hear anything out of my left ear...so of course I still kept answering the phone on that side! Hello? WHAT?! oh. :doh:
