I just remembered something there with all the talk of death.
Someone was murdered in my home town over a year or so ago. I won't discuss details, as I know the family and it was one of those really horrible cases where there were no winners or losers or villains or heroes. Just tragic and senseless.
Anyway, I used to be a journo as some of yiz may know. Writing for an online site at the time, got a girl to cover the case, grand. Get a friend request from her. Alright, never met her in person, but it's often easier to work with someone if you're friends with them, so I accept.
Next thing she's messaging me. "How AWFUL is that case, blah blah, I looked up the house on Google Maps and it's so near the town, are you far from it now, do you know who they are."
I felt quite repulsed by it and never replied to her. This kind of prying is so ghoulish and it nearly feels worse in Ireland because the country's so fecking small and we all know each other, give or take a couple of degrees
Some people really just need to think before they write things down.0 -

Some people get off on that kind of thing. They say how AWFUL with such a gleam of excitement.
Years ago I worked with a group of young people. We got news that a past member of the group had committed suicide. So I rang up the people who were pals with her when she was with us, most of whom had gone on to work/college so I only had home numbers for them. Ended up telling about a dozen parents sad news to pass on. Two of them asked "how did she do it?"
Gobsmacked. :eek:0 -

It doesn't mean we're all heartless, but curious.
Curiousness is OK.
I'd definitely ask how it happened but then I'd leave it at that. I wouldn't be picking it over and talking about it or gossiping.
Curiosity is OK, but I think suicide methods are in the realm of prying. They don't happen; they are done. It didn't even occur to me to ask how a family member of mine had killed himself.
Sorry, we're OT now. These aren't even the kind of things that come up on fb anyhow and ya im ok hun!

Mortified as I am for Jane, I can't help but take note of this as an excellent revenge post/frape template.

From a man who is about 45 years old.
I don't even...
Yeah, none of that makes any sense to me...
1) Did he not realise when he picked up the kettle and it wasn't warm?
2) Did he not realise when he poured the water and there was no steam?
3) Did he not notice when he was pouring the water and the cup didn't get warm?
4) Did he not notice the cup was cold "all the way" upstairs to where he took a sip?
5) hashtag75?0 -
