People Suck!
Anyone who has read my blog knows how I feel about douchebaggery. Douchebags should be smited without mercy. Unfortunately I have another tale of douchebaggery.
Death either brings out the best in people or the greedy, asshattery worse. My husband’s best friend from school has been in town while his mother has been dying. This is been very hard on him. His mom’s husband has been being a mega jackass. He’s been extremely concerned about the hospital bills he’ll be “stuck” with and has been verbal about it to the family and friends.
Since his mom has died, Brad’s friend has been cut out of any decisions about the arrangements for his mother’s funeral by his stepdad. Because of his (the stepdad’s) greedy/tightassery, the visitation is “by invitation only” (pretty much no one is invited) and there is going to be a short graveside service. The only way he could have gotten off any cheaper is if he ran down to Walmart and got a box of Hefty bags.
Even though holding my tongue will be like being punched in the taint, I will do it. I’m doing it for the rest of the family. They’ve been through enough suffering. They’ve lost a daughter, sister, mother, aunt, grandmother and friend. May she rest in peace.

You stated this is your friend’s mother’s HUSBAND… Husband, as in for better for worse, even when you are dying, especially when you are dying. Well, hopefully, he will be left with scads of bills…. Obviously, a man who speaks POCKNIS… you can read about it at my blog, but essentially, if it doesn’t have anything to do with his penis or his pocketbook, he cannot hear you. So, he followed his penis into marriage and is now bitching about his pocketbook. GOOD! I pray it costs him a mint. Stupid Douchebag!
And my condolences to your friend.. my mother died last year so I know what he is going through.

As I was reading this my heart jumped into my throat – I believe that your husband’s friend is my cousin and the woman who passed is my aunt. She and my father’s brother divorced a while back and we were not in contact but I was notified of her situation through another aunt and my cousin and kept up to date. I am truly saddened to hear what I had heard and hoped was not true is unfortunately too true. I can only hope she was happy in her last years with this man considering what a jackass he sounds like he is. I hope he and I never meet face to face – I am not sure I could bite my tongue.
