My neighbor is crying

[applesauce]

Why the hell did they tell him over the phone?   

Uh, because his family lives in Nevada.

One time one of my best friends was over and there were like 10 of is hanging out in our living room and he got a phone call and left and then like 5 minutes later he was crying in the bathroom and everyone could hear him and it went onfor like 45 minutes and it was so awful.

Turned out his mom had died.

that's awful

Why the hell did they tell him over the phone?   

I had this discussion with my grandmother the other day. If I was out with friends or something, I would prefer being told over the phone that someone has died, than I would being told something happened but not what till I got home, or just not being told till I got there.

[YPrrrr]

I'd rather be told over the phone so I can grieve by myself and not have to hug other crying people

[FAMY2]

I'd rather one person told me face to face then left me alone. The phone just seems so cold.
