    When I had to ring the Chinese place for a group of people. Drunk people.

    Ringing my brother to tell him our mother had died suddenly

    He was 8000 km away

    Ringing my best mates missus at the time to tell her he'd hung himself because of her.

    presumably you did not phrase it quite like that.

    wtf is this, this board is supposed to be a light-hearted place. It could very easily be thought you were making light of or flippant about this situation.

    Also it's bad to make every single person who reads a thread to go a link. All you have to do is click on "insert image" and it'll show up automatically.

    Please shut this down.

    Anyone who thinks about it for ten seconds knows what the worst phone calls are; and its not something for After Hours.

    The situation called for it, unfortunately

    Similar - calling my brother to tell him our father had died, he was also about 8,000 km away, on holiday.

    Likewise. I think many of us have had a very similar situation.


    What the OP is trying to say, though, eludes me.

    Ringing my brother from the cop shop in Glasgow to inform him our other brother had died, was traumatic but a relief as well, pre internet and whatsapp days where I had to trace his number through the police phone directory.

    Mod note: Yeah, no.

    I don't think this is going to end up tickling anybody's funny bone and there's enough depressing threads here already, thanks.
