Today, I went to the funeral of my friend's brother. It was the first funeral I'd gone to, and I was really nervous. When the service finished, everyone went to pay their respects to the family. After I paid mine, they said, "Thank you for coming." I instictively replied, "My pleasure." FML

I agree, your life sucks

You deserved it

That is a correct response it shows that you care enough to go

I believe the proper term may be "my condolences for your loss"

Only if you successfully retrieved his watch without anyone noticing.

Oh yeah.... I forgot sarcasm never actually translates in text.

Wasn't that funny, either way.

Sarcasm translates, you just have to look for it. With that in mind, that most certainly was not sarcasm. It was a poorly planned joke. (My 2 cents)

If someone said that to me at a family members' funeral, I would not be upset. Funerals tend to make people nervous, and a lot of the time cause them to to say things without thinking, but think its wrong even though 9/10 times, it's usually the appropriate thing to say.

Op,it's okay as long as you apologized. C'mon you were nervous so I hope they understood :)

Op didn't need to apologize. "Thank you for supporting our family in our time of need."

"It was my pleasure to do so."

There was nothing wrong with the response at all and I'm sure they thought nothing of it.

#14, take me with you! I have said some things that make me cringe when I think about them and I'd definitely like to say something different.

It's a normal response unless you're a pornstar/hooker lol

That's the appropriate thing to say. Although you could always say, "sorry for your loss" too. And personally to your friend, offer to be there for them of course.
