This is awkward

One of my friend's schoolmates died and everyone is crying while I'm editing pictures and laughing.

EDIT: Oh, it's in the news.

Yeah he was going too fast. Some lessons are learned the hard way. It's unfortunate his was learned through death, but there's nothing wrong with not being sad about someone you didn't know. You should still try to show some sympathy for his friends though and not burst into laughter (at least not in front of them).

@fradddd Not sure what all of the hip young kids are into now, but I met a lot of people outside of my high school by going to punk shows at the local youth center. That's what I mean by a hangout.

@acuppa: I go to the adult service at my church, everyone at my work goes to my high school or I knew them before...local hangouts?
Whatever. I'll never get it.

Extracurriculars. Church, work, local hangouts, etc.

The guy should know that stretch is filled with pot holes. I mean son that's dangerous. I don't feel bad, but I do not feel glad either. Lives were lost, but maybe lives were save because it they hit someone going 90 it isn't just going to just be just them that would be on the news.

after looking at those yoloswag trash pictures, I can assure you that nothing of value was lost and you shouldn't feel bad about it

@xVolcomStone I wasn't laughing about their deaths, mostly about the speed they went.

You should definitely have more respect for life than that.

I don't see how that could be funny at all. I get that you don't know them and you wouldn't be sad, it's just tough to believe you could actually find something about it funny.

No, not related at all. I don't even know this person but it feels awkward since the people around me do.
