To think people should have some respect when some one dies

A "friend" on Facebook has posted a few things in the last few days that I don't agree with.

Close friend of mine died 2 weeks ago. This "friend" on Facebook hated him - no reason.
"Friend" posted on Facebook 'just because the wanker died doesn't mean I'll be polite & nice about him'

"Friend" was in a hit & run car crash which killed a cyclist. Posted on Facebook & telling people
'The daft bitch should have had lights then she'd be alive as we would have seen her'

I confront her about those two posts as I felt she should

  1. Have some respect as 2 people died
  2. At least not post it on Facebook if u feel like that
I got told I was being unreasonable

AIBU or is she

She is.

Block her.

2tiredtocare · 29/09/2013 10:44

She sounds ill

spottygoat · 29/09/2013 10:45

What a cunt! That is all

BearsBeetsBattlestarGalactica · 29/09/2013 10:46

Agree. Block her.

She sounds utterly vile.

NannyMcphee12 · 29/09/2013 10:48

I've removed her and reported her posts. Also sent a copy to the police as they are looking for the hit & run that killed the cyclist. The idiot put all details on Facebook that matched the police report

Wow Shock

Block her from facebook and from your life

Willowbear · 29/09/2013 10:49

I would block too.

That is not a person I would want to be friends with.

Birdsgottafly · 29/09/2013 10:56

It is about respecting the grieving process for those affected by that persons death and not wanting to cause further anguish to them.

If someone cannot do that, I agree, I wouldn't want to be friends with them, it shows a massive lack of empathy, so you would wonder what they are capable of towards you, tbh.

verytellytubby · 29/09/2013 16:18

Block her. She's insane.

PumpkinPie2013 · 29/09/2013 17:11

What an awful person she sounds!!

Block and report!

IfYouLoveSomebodyLetThemSleep · 29/09/2013 17:31

I agree that if you didn't like someone when they were alive then that shouldn't change when they die, but she really has no need to be discussing it like that on Facebook. Some thoughts are better left in your head.

Yanbu OP and you know that. She doesn't sound very nice at all.

BatwingsAndButterflies · 29/09/2013 19:16

She sounds awful, well done for shopping her.

ConfusedPixie · 29/09/2013 20:11

Holy shit, that's awful. Sounds like the fucker who hit a cyclist during a race, drove off and then tweeted about it. Copy any and all posts before she deletes them for back up if the police need it.

Good on you for handing the info in too.

Snargaluff · 29/09/2013 20:15

So she's killed someone and left the scene? She is in deep shit now

Teapigging · 29/09/2013 20:20

Hang on, this person hit and killed a cyclist??? And your concern is with her Facebook comments?

NannyMcphee12 · 29/09/2013 20:32

She wasn't the driver, a passenger. Which is also a big concern

OP posts:
FortyDoorsToNowhere · 29/09/2013 20:36

She is in big trouble now.

She should have reported it to the police ASAP. I don't know if it preventing to course of justice or something else, but it is a serious offence.

VivaLeThrustBadger · 29/09/2013 20:38

The "daft bitch" might be alive if they'd stopped and helped/called an ambulance. I'd tell her that and then block her and hope she goes to jail for been involved in the accident.

LaGuardia · 29/09/2013 21:08

To be fair, I hate cyclists too. Never killed one though.

MaidOfStars · 29/09/2013 23:04

She was a passenger during a car crash, where the driver (who she hates and is slagging off) died, as did a cyclist, and it was a hit and run? Or was the person she hates just another passenger? In which case, there is a driver who has killed someone (repo people) and is getting away with it.

Fuck me. The question is: am I winning at Facebook? Seriously. Seriously?

MaidOfStars · 29/09/2013 23:05

Not 'just' another passenger, and repo=two.

PacificDogwood · 29/09/2013 23:07

What? I don't think I understand.
But just in case I do, YANBU
She sounds unhinged. And like trouble.

Clobbered · 29/09/2013 23:08

Good grief. How can people be so a) vile and b) stupid?

NannyMcphee12 · 29/09/2013 23:11

The friend of mine that died wasn't to do with the hit & run

All the people in the hit & run car got away it was only the cyclist who died there
