Disrespectful A-HOLES: a rant

neebelung · 02-28-2008, 07:26 PM

Ok, so as some of you know, Neon's gramma passed away on Monday. Today was her funeral.

We leave the service, and the procession winds for many miles through this very beautiful area running parallel to the river... tree canopy of old oaks with spanish moss, dappled sunlight, the azaleas are all in bloom - overall, a very fitting day for her (as she was a great lover of the outdoors). It was a very tranquil day.

HOWEVER.......

As the procession wound down this one narrow road, and traffic in the opposite lane halts, there's these two young guys in an older Lincoln Town Car. They're about 18, thinkin they're ballahs, and the driver STICKS HIS ARM OUT THE WINDOW AND WAVES at the procession, as if it's a parade. He's got this huge grin on his face the whole time, too, lookin at his buddy like he's cool or something. WHAT THE FUCK?

So then the procession gets out onto a main road -- we've got motorcycle police escorts, and we're doing about 35 mph in the right lane, when some fucktard in his worktruck CUTS OFF the car in front of me, in order to make a right at the next intersection... WHO DOES THAT?????? Show some respect you asshole!!!!!!!!!!

Its bad enough when people are disrespectful on a regular day. Disrespecting a funeral is pathetic.

Actually the funeral wasn't serious at all; the pastor was awesome - he was very much about anecdotes, and relating scripture to real life rather than just reading stuff that's 'tradtional,' but there's a difference between non-serious and downright disrespectful, IMO.

There was a procession we rode with the Patriot Guard Riders on --- HUUUUUGE long procession (on bikes, obviously) where EVERYONE stood on street corners, sat on the hoods of their cars with their flags waving, and they waved, cheered and saluted as if it were a parade, but that was different -- that was people showing respect for the fallen soldier and patriotism, and in a completely different way than this little asshole today was doing.

(and for the record, I'm all for cremation myself... once I'm done with this body, there's no need for it to take up space on earth, IMO)
