To feel inconvenienced by a tragic accident?

[OnemargarIta]

I'm currently in Italy (staying in Rome) for three nights. It's my first foreign break in a warm country and I've been so excited and saved up especially.

We booked an excursion for today consisting of a trip to Sorrento where we'd spend time exploring, visiting shops and enjoying local food - and then on to Pompeii on the route back.

We've spent the whole morning/day so far stuck in traffic on the motor way. We are so behind schedule we can now no longer go to Sorrento first because Pompeii closes at 5.30 and there won't be time. A sit down restaurant meal will now be replaced by a takeaway which will be eaten on the coach.

We've just been told the cause of the traffic jam and it's because somebody has died in a collision on the motorway.

Instead of feeling saddened about the loss of life I just feel inconvenienced and pissed off that the highlight of my trip has been ruined.

Does this make me a shitty person? It just occurred that it might 😳

Until you’re back again just like your pal @LemonCheesecake2025 who keeps leaving and keeps coming back…

It’s your choice what you do on your break. I’m not sure why you’ve told me what your job is or how hard it is and how hot it is and that you’ve used your break to reply to my post… unless you are looking for sympathy of course.

I actually don't think you care about the OP. I think you just want to argue with people. I don't know what you have been through but you seem to have a problem with other people going through stuff. Taking the piss out of people who may be triggered says a lot.

Take a look in the mirror and ask yourself why you are so upset about OP being called out for a really odd thread.

I never said I did care about the OP. The beauty of that being, she doesn’t seem like that would bother her in the slightest as she isn’t trying to parade herself as a bastion of virtue.

I haven’t taken the piss out of anyone being triggered but I do believe that each individual should take responsibility for their own feelings and sometimes that means avoiding discussions you may find upsetting rather than constantly insulting and having a go at people who feel differently to you.

My mind remains unchanged. Funnily enough, you telling me that you think I’m not a nice person hasn’t brought me round to your way of thinking.

We'll agree to disagree. I'll move on from this thread thinking you are as odd as the OP. I honestly don't care what you think about me. I mean it when I say goodbye, it's been interesting.

Yes ok, I’m sure you’ll be back soon.

Some people on here have said more goodbyes than Dame Nellie Melba. And asking someone to stop quoting you and then spending the rest of the afternoon posting on the thread is quite entitled @Justchilling07, don’t you think?

Everyone has had the chance to put their views across, I haven’t tried to tell anyone they can’t post, that’s a strange thing to say.

I’m very sorry about your sibling, I’ve also lost a sibling under tragic circumstances but I don’t expect strangers to care about my sibling, he is a nameless, faceless person to most of the world.

This post sums it up.

LemonCheesecake2025 and your mate who I don't have time to go back and quote, I think you should give it a rest now especially if, as you say, you're working on a busy A&E ward in 35 degree heat.

I don't know how, with the job you claim to have, you've found all of this time to sit on this thread lambasting me. Just hide it and go about your life.

I was on holiday for a week and went back yesterday evening..
And fair enough.
Have a nice life.
