Technicality

By Dartfrogger - This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff - United States - Salt Lake City

Today, I announced to my friends that my grandmother is dying. My best friend pulled out his phone and casually announced, "Technically, everyone is dying." FML

Technically he's right, but it's still rude for him to say that.

Yikes, it might be time to reevaluate your friendship.

@#2 Right? Who does that? For the next few days every time he comes to you with something important... just pull out your phone and casually respond with "technically,______." Sorry about your grandmother OP.

@#19 More people than I think we care to admit. People are horrible sometimes.

Many people can't deal with serious situations in a subtle manner. No need to ditch them as a friend just because they can't handle a tense conversation.

Well, I mean, technically he's right. But if he were being considerate, he wouldn't have pointed it out. Sorry about your grandmother, OP. :

I agree, it was the wrong time to point out that "technicality". I am sorry for the unfortunate news OP.

I think you should have a talk with him about this. Don't let it get between you.

Should probably just stop talking to him altogether, what a prick.

Yeah but technicalities don't excuse asshole-ish behavior...

Everybody is dying. But your "best friend" may die suddenly and sooner. Am I right?

They should not be considered your best friend. A best friend is someone who actually cares, or in my case was more like a sister than a friend. I would be careful around this one if I were you.
