To want to launch myself across the office and knock her out?

[BigSandyBalls2015]

I'm raging 😡

A colleague died recently (he was late 40s with 3 teenagers) and a couple of people from the office went to the funeral.

One of them is just loudly telling the person next to her (very large open plan office) how the funeral went. Fair enough but I'm gob smacked at what she has said:

Wife wasn't what she expected, plainer, larger, dumpy. Quite cold and didn't really greet people properly

Sons have inherited dads receding hair, girl quite pretty ish

Odd choice of music, wouldn't have chose. It herself.

Food crap at wake, cheap

FFS I always thought she was a piece of work but this is a whole new level 😡😡

So user what were these crap sandwich fillings?

So crass, i would have to say something although-i suspect i already have

You should of said something op.

No pint ranting on here.

I don't know if the fucker that was mouthing off, in front of the op, is on here. However if I was speaking to her, I would be letting her know that she is a nasty, mean mouthed, vindictive wanker, that can be pretty sure that when she dies, people won't be judging her funeral, because no one would waste their time going to it.

Nice one Leaky

Out of order and I would tell her so. Pull her aside in a quiet moment. I had someone tell me they were shocked at the lack of emotion of a husand at the early death of his wife and that she was pleased to see him break down afterwards! Having recently lost my mum I proceeded to tell her not to judge and that she had no idea what was going on in that man's head. For me, I had cried every tear in my body in the 2 weeks before the funeral and wanted to keep as dignified as i could for my DC. She was taken aback but I felt a whole lot better.

Very disrespectful. I would certainly have been tempted to say something to her. I think you should have, and if you get the chance at all during the course of today you could still.

I would toy with the idea of emailing her to say how out of order, disrespectful and offensive she was being. Talk to your other colleagues anyway. See what they thought. Say you could not help hearing it, as she was so loud. I would bet that there will be a broad consensus on how shitty it was.

At my mum's funeral I didn't cry (but similar to MsHarry had spent the last couple of weeks in pieces) and I think it's fair to say I was a bit standoffish with people. But I'd like to think no-one judged me for that... but it seems you never know!

Anyway... well done the man who spoke to her about it. Now put her stupidity out of your mind if you can.

What kind of people do you work with, anyway? One that spouts off like this, and others who sit there and listen to it.

If it's an open plan office you don't have the option but to listen to it.

She was obviously talking directly to at least one person, unless she speaks to herself.

Of course that person, and anyone else who overheard, could have told her to block up.

If it's an open plan office you don't have the option but to listen to it.

Well, you could speak up, like that one person eventually did.

Talk about insensitive! I imagine the people listening to her feel exactly as you do, whether they were there or not. She is Out of Order.

Yanbu, just do it. Nasty cow.

Email her and suggest she right a full review of the funeral on trip advisor.

How classless can you get. I'd have words too, to be honest.

This would definitely breach the core personal behaviour rules we have at work. Might even result in a disciplinary hearing.

I think i would also say something to her, even though (presumably) the bloke already did. I would want it to be clear that he is not alone in thinking she was out of order.

I have worked for companies where it isn't possible for everyone who knew a colleague to go to their funeral, so x number of people who knew them best went to represent everyone. Please tell me this woman didn't deny one of this poor man's friends the chance to go by taking one of the 'spaces'?!

Sounds a pretty grim place to work, TBH. Open-plan office full of sentimentality police, ick.

Oh, give it up, user, you ignorant twat.

User is being a GF. This is why I never converse with anyone that cannot be bothered to get a proper name. The woman is indeed an utter cunt. Like was said, wtf judges a bloody funeral. Spiteful woman.

You can't buy bloody class can you
