When I criticized how they announced the death, they said I was the rude one.
: My husband’s close relative died. We found out by chance because an announcement appeared on our social media feeds. We did not receive a private message, a text or a phone call.We don’t use social media very often; if we hadn’t seen the announcement, we wouldn’t have known.
They responded that I was rude and selfish. They said that they, the bereaved party who organized the funeral and wake, were entitled to manage it in a way that made their grief easier to bear. Then they blocked me on social media, which is fine with me. But yes, a personal call would have been preferable — which Miss Manners would certainly not have said about a text, and likely not about an email.I admit to messing up my financial life, and therefore it will be at least three or four years before I am eligible to even apply for credit. This is my responsibility to bear; I blame no one else.
