Whiskeyboi 0 #1 June 15, 2008 All necrophelia jokes aside, is it wrong for someone to try and "hook up" at a memorial service? Tonight I was asked to go home with someone at a memorial service. For the few who have met me - I'm nothing to write home about. But I double-checked with a few other attendees/witnesses tonight...just to make sure I wasn't misinterpreting something...and the offer was definitely there. Neither of us was related to the deceased...and there was no plea to "help with the grieving" involved. Is it just me, or is this a faux pas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whiskeyboi 0 #3 June 15, 2008 I wasn't uber-close to the son of the deceased, but to bring it up as you're in line...like 8 feet from the coffin? No one else thinks that's a little tacky? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grue 1 #5 June 15, 2008 Honestly, who cares? The person the ceremony is for sure doesn't mind, and if you're not bending someone over the casket, it's nobody else's business. Be discreet and I cannot fathom why any rational person would have a problem with it.cavete terrae. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kbordson 8 #6 June 15, 2008 It is a little.... tacky. Considering you went there to pay respects to the deceased and remember his time on this Earth.... but it is done. Hell, they even satired it in Wedding Crashers (but that made it look WAY tacky!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 16 #10 June 15, 2008 Maybe you just look good in black.Seriously, there's no wrong place to meet the right person. If the time is not appropriate, get a number and call them later. Like everyone else said, just be polite and discrete. Life is for the living. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskeyboi 0 #11 June 15, 2008 I wasn't necessarily saying what the outcome was or wasn't....I was just curious if it was tacky/a faux pas. Figured this crowd would be pretty honest...though I'm now envisioning a boogie funeral...hmm... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not even the deceased spouse or SO is safe from being hit on sometimes at one of those... Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
