Why Are People So Thoughtless [2]

[cupid04]

Reading another thread on here prompted me to write this. when I was 12 I lost my mother. She has a lovely tree and a commemoration plaque at the
crematorium. I go there birthdays, anniversaries, mothering Sunday and christmas. When I've polished plaque and laid my flowers there's this little
quiet room you can go to. I like to go there and read the messages and poems
people have left there for their loved ones. I sometimes sit and pen a few down because I like collecting poetry. On one particular occasion when I went in the
quiet room there was already two middle aged ladies in there nattering away and bitching about friends and relatives. I wanted to be there to collect my thoughts and think of my mum but these two old biddies were oblivious to the fact it was a room to be quiet and contemplate. I would have liked to have told them where to go but I didn't, just gave mr. C an earful when I got back in the car.

you could have said something, i think i would have, if only to make them think about why you were there.

They must have known what the room was there for. I would have been tempted to cough loudly and then say something.

That right take it out on Mr c poorsod.

sorry to hear that!

can you get the management to pop up a sign emphasizing that it is indeed a 'quiet' room, and that anyone else can yack anywhere ... ?

Perhaps it was their way to let out their own sorrow and frustration with life, not a usual one, I admit, but there is no accounting for people.
