to think this is not right

[charleneanna]

ok my friend is a 20 year old single parent with a baby she is or was quiet happy in her flat until the other day, we were at hers and we heard some noise so we looked out of her window and the shop underneath her that had been empty for some time was open and a couple of freezers were being taken in so i said well maybe its gonna be a frozen food shop that would be brilliant but then yesterday the sign went up above the shop omg atwells after life its a bloody funeral directors now dont get me wrong they are needed but surely not a shop below a flat in a residential area my friend is now that terrified at going to bed above dead bodies that she has begged me to let her and baby spend the night at my house but my house is already overflowing sorry but this is notnright

You won't be saying that when it's on the news that zombies have eaten OP's friend Sarah. Think on.

She is NOT a troll she's NOT. She's a character. 'Sdifferent.

I would give anything to see that

I think at 20 I'd have been scared too, to be honest. But now at the grand old age of 29, it just seems ridiculous.

The dead bodies are a lot less likely to hurt you than a living person, so she has some safe neighbours at least.

Also, she didn't grow up in a haunted house, because ghosts don't exist.

charleenanna I would not be good with that too and I would look to move.
and ignore the grammer police - post how you want

IF this is real...

OP you are being NO help to your friend and all that sitting around staring goggle eyed out of the window going OMG OMG that is sooo a dead body freezer

is helping her less than reading this thread whilst watching worlds most haunted - would.

What does scared of ghosts mean?
That is like saying someone is scared of unicorns.

I know Northern. I will eat my OFRS if that happens.

I also saw a tramp who'd hung himself from another tree one morning in the same cemetery. Took me a few more years to give up smoking though.

I used to work in a call centre where - for reasons that I won't bore you all with here - we used to have to ascertain whether people were living in a building of more than two storeys. Believe it or not, many, many people failed to grasp the concept of "floors" or "storeys" so we used to have to clarify with them.

One time I was using my usual clarification technique on a flat owner:

"So there's nobody living above you?"
"No"
"And how many people living below you"
"Well....hopefully none - it's an undertakers...."

We had a nice chat about how he liked it. Nice and quiet etc.

I have never seen a dead body.

Your imaginary friend has two options:

1. Move
2. Grow the fuck up.

As others have pointed out, mortuary freezers don't look like a conventional freezer. They look like this:

Unicorns are farking scary MrsD. All those pointy horns and so bloody fey

Charlene - you and your friend are forgetting one essential fact - THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS AS GHOSTS. ffs

Alouisee, I'm shocked.

I thought everyone knew the past participle of "hang" was "hanged".

told you so

See, not even the dimmest of the dim could confuse that with a domestic freezer.

Filing cabinet for the dead, that is.

It's so shocking that this place opened so soon after the protest about a Co-op funeral shop in Portsmouth. The one that there was a thread about on here with a link to an article in the local paper.

You'd think with that so fresh in people's memories things like this wouldn't happen.

Just to clarify, that was funny bitchy not bitchy bitchy.

A sex shop - pervs hanging about
A brothel - pervs hanging about
Conservative HQ - pervs hanging about
A modelling/comic book shop - nerds hanging about*
A fish shop - smell*
A branch of Abercrombie and Fitch - annoying thin people with overly complicated hairstyles tripping over each other

You can't trust creatures with big pointy horns and a penchant for virgins. It would not do at all.

Charlene.... Cone back and describe the freezers you saw??!!!!
