Today, I went to visit my husband's grave. I was unable to mourn in peace because some teenagers were smoking pot and talking about a government conspiracy "to change the way gravity works" on the next grave over. FML

Today, I went to the cemetery to visit a friend. As I was looking for his burial plot, I fell into a dug out grave and had to call my partner to come help me get out. FML
Today, I had to sneak a ladder into a cemetery at midnight because my husband got drunk with his buddies, decided to visit his mother's grave, and in the dark he fell into a fresh grave and couldn’t climb out. Not many women can say they’ve seen their husbands climb out of the grave I suppose. FML
Today, my son and I attended the funeral of a family friend. It went as well as any funeral could, up until the point that my apparently drunk son tried to grope the widow. I came an inch away from causing my son to need his own funeral. FML
Today, at the funeral home where I work, I asked my boss if it was time to "bring out the stiff". I didn't realize the guy's family was not only in the building, but within earshot as well. FML
Today, someone took a shit on my father’s gravestone. FML
Today, I attended my husband's funeral and my son carried out the eulogy, which basically turned into a character assassination, ending with "and I hope Hell is hot enough for you, old man." Almost our entire family agreed with every word he said. FML
Today, it's my husband's funeral. My adult children never made it secret that they didn't like him, but I'd hoped they'd come to support me. Their replies when I asked them went from, "You know I hated him", to "No, I have work", to "I'm not going anywhere near that fanatic's church." FML
Today, I found out that my grandmother desecrated my grandfather's grave. 14 years after his death, she dug up his body and had him cremated so that she could sell his plot back to the cemetery for money. I was the one who found out so I had to tell the rest of the family. FML
Today, my family attended the funeral of an old family friend's baby, who died in childbirth. Afterwards, my husband went around snickering and quietly telling dead baby jokes to the other attendees. FML
Today, I attended the wrong funeral. I spent twenty minutes trying to hide and walk away without being too conspicuous. FML

The grave was probably the teenagers dead hopes and dreams. Sorry for your loss.

They may have been mourning too, I mean I do think they should have left when you came over. However, I recently had a friend of mine pass and I know that on the 11th of every month the group of people that he would usually smoke with will gather at his grave site and pass around a joint. They're polite enough to wait until there's no one around or leave if they see someone visiting a grave near by, but my point is that a lot of teenagers will do this at a friends grave and not everyone is a responsible enough stoner to know to leave and carry on their high elsewhere if someone else is right by them.

I don't think discussing government conspiracies are typical of people who go to a cemetery to mourn. Regardless, even in the instance of your personal story, smoking at a cemetery is kind of disrespectful. I don't have anything against weed or the people who smoke it, but that is not the appopriate place to do it. I mean, would you think of it in the same "well, that's not so bad" way if a bunch of people got super drunk at a grave site? Probably not.

22- Wether they were mourning or not isn't even a question. The topic of the senate passing a bill decreeing that gravity change direction sounds like a completely normal thing to discuss while paying respects to a friend who has passed.

you don't know thos ple maybe thy talked about strange gov con all the time with thr 6 ft under friend. other ple live on this planet too. lastly however she should just be happy she even has a place where she can go to visit her hubs and do that, he could have been lost at sea or eaten by cannibals...

27 - being super drunk is completly diff from being high, I really don't think anyone should care about a few ple being happy, tired, and probly a bit hungry, thr making the best out of a shit situation...not stumbling all over themselves while speaking loudly in some language that is hardly recognizable.

drunk and high are NOT the same thing at all. drunks are usually ignorant, loud, and annoying. stoners just chill, without making too much of a scene

I really have no witty comment to say here, but you should have told them off. At least they weren't trying to dig it up.

I would've gone off. Those types of teenagers are the reasons I hate my generation. I'm really sorry about your husband though.

Why didn't you phone the police? Just tell them there are some teenagers causing a disturbance?
unknown_user5566 26
Maybe OP did report them, but the bottom line is that she could not mourn in peace, because of some asshole kids. Reporting them doesn't fix the original problem necessarily.
