A Pulse From A Friend: Granny has gone to be with Jesus tonight...
Me: If you have lost a loved one, I'm so sorry to hear this! HUG
Her: Yeah I did my grandmother... Thanks for the hug I need all of those I can get!
Me: Punctuate! I about stroked out at "Yeah I did my grandmother" Sorry for your loss, Hon.
Me: Sorry. As a guy, I'm both perverted and sometimes violent. I did my grandmother has two meanings for me...both very bad.
Me: Tell the truth...did I make ya laugh a little, or at least smile?
Her: No longer answering, and logged off! Oops!

To the person who was on the other end of this, I am SO sorry! I have been known to make jokes at inappropriate times, in an attempt to lighten the mood during a very serious situation.

Hahaha.
Sorry for her loss though.
oh, MAN! It was the girl's GRANDMA! lol menz...
Yeah, I can see where someone would take offense to that. "Open mouth, insert foot." Atleast you started off with good intentions.
She really should learn to punctuate to avoid such situations. I think that distress buys some freebies, though, so next time think before inserting foot.
*wincing*
We often find ourselves saying what we did not mean, or what came out wrong, I am praying for this person
In Christs Love

Actually, I thought the same thing reading it. And I am not a guy
@storyslut - me too. Oops, my bad.
I'm sorry she is going through such a terrible ordeal, the loss of a loved one can be difficult. But next time, think before you speak and/or type.
lawlz. Even if it was my grandma, I still would have laughed. I'm always the person making jokes at the funeral home, trying to keep other people from crying. I hope someone is nice enough to do that at my own funeral.
@Carolina17 - I hope the same, for my own. I would even say forget the funeral. Cremate me, collect some money, and have a party! Talk about your favorite memories of me, good times and bad, including how much I pissed you off because I partied too hard!
@lizheartshakespeare - @Carolina17 - @lonelywanderer2 - totally agree!
Thats why I hate it when people talk to me about serious things. In person that is, I invariably say something really stupid. Not so bad online, I have more time to compose my sentances!
Punctuation is a must.
Very sorry for her loss.
Haha! Classic case of digging your own grave... (oops, that sounds wrong too). Sorry for her loss, though.
have to admit, really BAD timing. Hope she can forgive you. I think I would have taken it the same way, no matter your intentions. Kinda insensitive... but hey, maybe when it's not so fresh, she'll be able to joke about this.
I would have thought the same thing at least. Praying for her family.
you obviously have horrible timing and/or don't know how to handle difficult situations. lol. I hope she forgives you. I can be the same way... the intentions are good, but it comes out...ALL wrong...
Ha.
(Thats all I can say. Somepeople laugh at Funerals, some people sob. Both have their place I guess)
-thend-
:( Ohhh no...
I would have probably thought it... because I did when I read it the first time... but probably not have said it.
But... I smiled a little anyway... at your attempt to recover. Oops is all I have to say.
tooooooooo soon.
*shakes head* Tsk.
Ahh, ouch.
8-O
Heh - see, I read it as, "I did, my grandmother" not as it read, "I did my grandmother." I'm glad to find someone who has a more sexually oriented brain than I...
(Note to self: refrain from the sex jokes around a death scene.) Thanks for sharing... made me chuckle!
I chuckled a bit.
