Yesterday and today, multiple friends of mine had some bad news.
Friend #1 just heard her sister in law has terminal brain cancer. So i had been listening to her and consoling her all afternoon yesterday.
Friend #2 just heard her ivf proces isn't going as well as they hoped, making chances of pregnancy slim. So offcourse, I've been trying to be there for her as well.
Friend #3 just called today. He just lost his father, so offcourse, I álso wanted to be there for him. But instead of saying "Sorry for your loss. How terrible!", i actually said "Sorry for your loss. How annoying!".
ANNOYING??? I ACTUALLY SAID ANNOYING???? O MY GOD I DID NOT MEAN THAT. I didnt even think it! I backtracked, said i didnt mean it, said i meant to say terrible.
He took it well. He just continued his story and i listened without making any more dumb mistakes. But 2 hours later, i am still CRINGING at myself.
"Oh geez so annoying that your dad just died on you." Like, c'mon. Just strike me down right now, thanks.
Tl;dr: i mispoke, and called someone's passing 'annoying' like a frikkin' sociopath.
