AIBU to mention this?

[123goandrun]

Had a comment from a colleague about someone singing on the street “that he was my dad.” Father passed away last year. AIBU?

The collegue said your dad was singing in the street, but your dad died last year?

Its not clear what happened exactly.

What?

Yes, exactly that. Someone in the middle asked who was singing in the street and colleague said “it’s her dad”

Cross post. I’d just let that go, it obviously wasn’t serious or meant to upset you

Are you being unreasonable about what? What are you asking exactly?

Is it National Butt-Hurt over nothing day or what today?

Yes, exactly that. Someone in the middle asked who was singing in the street and colleague said “it’s her dad”

Not much clearer. Someone in the middle of what or where?

I mentioned about it the next day. Perhaps should have let it go. Just felt like there was no need to mention my dad in this all.

That was a bit harsh OP, apologies and sorry about your dad.

In all honestly though, it sounds like an off the cuff (albeit not funny) remark than wouldn’t have been intended to offend.

In the words of Elsa….

I'd let it go too, your dad's death will, understandably, be at the forefront of your mind, but others will have forgotten.

It was a weird remark to make though.

Maybe I’ve been having a hard day, but I’ve read this three times now and it still doesn’t make sense to me!

That's... confusing

I'd ask what he meant. Literally his father? Reminds him of his father?

I just didn’t find it funny. And the conversations before hand weren’t involving my father at all. So for someone who works with me to comment out of the blue thought was insensitive.
