Should’ve bitch slapped her. I’m sorry for your loss

I am totally confused. why would you holding out your hand make the crowd laugh?

I'm confused. I read it 4 times and I'm still confused. Sorry about your dad though. I hope you find peace in whatever it is that you believe. But yes I would've pushed away a stranger as well.

Sorry for your loss. Don't have anything to do with your aunt. Hopefully everyone at the funeral can see how horrible she was being to you.

What kind of family does this at a funeral? The misunderstanding wasn't even funny in the first place..

I'm sorry about your dad but I have no clue what you're saying there :x

Uh? Have the admins disappeared again? I don’t understand this?

What a horrible person. I hope she comes out of her job one day to find that her car has a flat tire when she's super tired and worn out and just wants to go home & drink wine.

I had no trouble understanding this post and I don’t know why anyone else did

OP here. Sorry for being confusing. We don't have much room, so I had to condense pretty drastically. Basically, an aunt with a history of mean behavior introduced me to some random elderly relative I'd never met before, at my father's funeral. Without asking, the elderly stranger tried to hug me. I held out my hand to fend her off, which some people claim is all that's needed to escape from an unwanted hug. Instead, the rando began shrieking fake hurt -- "You DON'T want a HUG?" with an exaggerated stricken expression. Grieving and already overwhelmed, I allowed her to grab me. The nasty aunt who introduced us, and who has made a hobby of ridiculing me ever since my birth, then trotted to the center of the room. While literally pointing at me and guffawing, she started yelling ridicule -- the "BloodyButUnbowed had her hand out! She thought she was gonna shake hands!" stuff, while glancing around to see who would mock the deceased's daughter with her. She may have been audible in the next county. Nobody joined her, since most people have better manners than my family, but she tried for a while. I am very happy living on the other side of the continent from these people.
