I’m so sorry. That’s really hard. I hope you’re okay.
~~Guys, this happens from time to time and there's nothing you can do about it. Sometimes, life changing events can happen in a flicker of an eye, and it might make you feel powerless, but choose instead to be humbled by it. We are not gods.~~
Edit: I did not read OP's post text. I thought this was about computer stickers... sorry, everyone.
What the fuck? Why the fuck did you choose to stick your very unwelcome nose into a conversation between two other people who are commiserating and comforting each other over their losses of beloved pets, to say this stupid-ass shit?
Just don’t say anything. Grief isn’t something that can be reasoned away with this nonsense. Just stop.
Oh no... jesus. It's only now that I read the original poster's text to their post.
I thought the first poster was making a humorous comment about the loss of their sticker, and the other one chirped in with an equally sombre note about the loss of their sticker.
I thought this was about the round stickers you sometimes get with computers. I'm such an idiot. My condolences.
Mourning the loss of a pet is normal and healthy.
I can appreciate that you understand that you made a very stupid mistake. I hope this is a learning experience for you to read the entire context before making an off the cuff remark like that. You shouldn't be apologizing to everyone, you should apologize to the two people you who's grief you belittled accidentally. You shocked us, you may of hurt them.
you're right
Holy shit dude fuck off
