Lo! The ultimate cheeky fucker has been found

[learieonthewildmoor]

A friend of mine died suddenly a few weeks ago. He had separated from his wife last year and had made a will.
He had been invited to a wedding next year. The mother of the bride texted his ex-wife asking that money from his estate be used to buy a gift for the couple.

Everyone who knew and loved him is still reeling from his death. But the important thing for this woman is her daughter still gets a gift from him. How in the name of all that is good and holy would you ask that?
My friend, God love him, was a tight bastard and would have been buying the cheapest thing on the registry; which makes it even worse somehow.

@NooNakedJacuzziness yes yes yes

Wow! I can’t believe people like this actually exist. I honestly don’t know how I would respond to that!

Absolutely this!!

wow that is low!! I don't know what I would do.

Ps - sorry for your loss OP, didn't mean to be flippant!

My favourite comment on the thread! 😂

Send an urn full of ashes/sand/whatever.

As presumably the ex-wife wasn't invited she could reply "Who dis?" . Agree that the mother of bride's behaviour is appalling

I think I’d forward the message to the bride to be and let her sort it. I’m sure she’d be absolutely horrified at what her mothers been up to.

I feel bad laughing at this, under the circumstances. But, I am really laughing at this.

No way!

Dear CF, as he considerately died before the wedding, please use the money saved by him not attending to buy the couple a gift. Thank you for your condolences, as you can imagine, we are still grieving.

Sorry about the loss of your friend OP.

I'd get a small photo of the deceased, put it in the cheapest frame I could find and send them that, with a note reading "I thought this was the best possible gift for Mr & Mrs Grabby - something to remember him by..."

Definitely this. And when she replies "are you joking, he's dead", you just reply, yes he is.

I think I'd just reply with a load of laughing emojis.

After all - this has to be the worlds unfunniest joke?

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend OP.

That's utterly appalling.

How about a companion cremation urn with a gift tag saying "Even death will not part you" or maybe "until next time we meet". There are some nice examples here on Etsy
Companion Urns

I think you've found the ultimate CF story OP I've never heard the like.

Send a book on manners and etiquette x

Something beginning with f and o I think.
Absolutely unbelievable and I bet the cf doesn’t see how crass she is.

I'm having trouble believing this, but I'd be tempted to reply that I (ex-wife) inherited everything and I wasn't invited. May dear "John" rest in peace. All the best, Mary.

I sure as hell would let the Bride know what her Mother had done.

How do you know out of interest?

I wouldn’t. Just stirring drama at what is a very meaningful celebration. In any event, she will no doubt be fully aware of how utterly insensitive and thoughtless her mother is.

Me too

Oh definitely the best CF story recently
