Asking me at school pickup time if I think it would be ok if her husband climbed the mountain that my husband died on.

She'd make sure he got life insurance first

No no no.

What the fuck is wrong with that women.

I'm so sorry you've had to deal with that kind of twattery.

HelloPossums · 08/09/2017 19:40

Sorry OP FlowersFlowers that's not on at all for her to say.

BubbleAnimal · 08/09/2017 19:40

Did she know???!

BubbleAnimal · 08/09/2017 19:40

Was it in jest, a bad joke as in shes annoyed with her husband?

Whatever it was, it's disgusting!!

Petalflowers · 08/09/2017 19:41

Why is the husband planning to,climb the mountain? For charity? If so, maybe she wanted to,pass it by you in case you heard from someone else that he was planning on climbing it, and she didn't want to upset you.

The life insurance comment was a bit crass though.

Albertschair · 08/09/2017 19:41

No. Not ok to ask you.

I'm sorry she ever thought it would be ok.

ILoveGrammar0 · 08/09/2017 19:41

Albertschair · 08/09/2017 19:42

Let alone making a joke? about life insurance

Allthewaves · 08/09/2017 19:42

Is that it or more context (grasping at straws that she wasn't so insensitive)

flumpybear · 08/09/2017 19:44

Some people are just born stupid - sorry for your loss Flowers

Ambonsai · 08/09/2017 19:46

Yes she knows
Not for charity, just for the challenge I guess.

She did preface with "I hope it's not inappropriate"
And then went on to tell me that she came across the newspaper article about it.
All in the school playground.
I was ok, but now I'm just gobsmacked really.

Shitting hell. WHAT was she thinking.

Ambonsai · 08/09/2017 22:52

I'm just trying to imagine her having a conversation in her head thinking "oh I'll have to catch Bonsai and ask her about the mountain"!
