Funerals, weddings, classrooms and plays are all places where the social contract demands silence. But sometimes something happens. Sometimes the speaker says something unexpected. Maybe you're just ready to party. To be fair, people say absurd things in complete seriousness all the time, and we can't expect things to always go as planned.

You know you've got a humorous mastermind on your hands when he's playing a prank on you from beyond the grave.
This woman asked the people of Reddit whether or not she was in the wrong for telling a stranger that her outfit for the funeral was inappropriate. It sounds like they were alone when she had her outfit called out. So, any embarrassment felt was probably diminished by that factor. Even then, it can be pretty brutal to have someone call out what you're wearing as inappropriate.
Interring or spreading a loved ones remains is a deeply emotional, and sometimes logistically awkward moment. Mitch Feltscheer discovered this firsthand when his dad had to deal with an extra windy day by the sea. These moments happen from time to time, like this guy who wasn't sure what to do with a brick of his dad's ashes.
Yes, you done messed up big time with this one. As far as "Am I The Asshole?" threads go, this one was just glaringly obvious. You're going to bail on your boyfriend in arguably one of the toughest times of his life for a vacation with the family; and then have the audacity to ask whether or not you're an asshole for doing so? You are quite lost. Quite lost, indeed.
That being said, if you're looking for some more juicy "Am I The Asshole" drama we recommend you check out a recent post about a bald bridesmaid asking the internet if she was a jerk for not wearing a wig to a particularly unruly bridezilla's wedding.
Are you ready to laugh until you cry? This funeral fail started out innocent enough, with a "you got this" and descended quickly into an absolute mess. This TIFU story is one of the most cringeworthy stories we've encountered, and I really feel sorry for the guy. At least he won't make that mistake again.
Sometimes a well-timed inappropriate thing said at a funeral can actually improve the mood and make the experience more meaningful. Other times it's family members almost coming to blows over who gets their grandpa's estate. Pretty wide swing of the pendulum, for sure. For crazy wedding stories, check this out.
If he asks you to wear a black dress, you'd best clarify what that entails. From there, I'm honestly at a loss for words over how that shituation got any worse. Clearly this poor guy was so blinded by grief, he failed to connect the dots on just how ridiculous his +1 scenario was.
So apparently if you don't keep an urn sealed well enough, the human remains inside turn into a formidable brick of your loved one. Luckily, we live in 2018 so you can go to the internet for answers. And especially luckily, people have more to offer than just a simple solution. They also have terrifically dark one-liners.
