November 22, 20241 yr Popular Post I ducked out in the middle of a funeral today to 1. avoid the rosary, and 2. to go grab a dozen tamales and sonic drink.

I was 2.5 hrs from home and this was my chance to buy some great tamales. place closes at 2. i got there 1:30 Edited November 22, 20241 yr by tx 3 putt

November 22, 20241 yr How close a relative? Barring immediate or near-immediate family, chances are good that no one noticed you missing. Hence, NTA.

November 22, 20241 yr I came here because I thought there were ABIA delays. Evidently...not. Eat hearty, my friend.
November 22, 20241 yr In my honest opinion, you don’t really seem to have cared about attending to actually pay your respects, but rather out of a sense of obligation, or just to make sure that you were seen to have been there. In either case, it would probably have been more honest to just not have gone at all. I am craving some tamales now though. Edited November 22, 20241 yr by NeverMarryAStripper
November 22, 20241 yr No one loved tamales more than Jesus Christ himself -- it's in the Bible. So you just did what Jesus would have done.

Don’t always stay for the full services.
November 22, 20241 yr Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and thus should partake in the saving grace of Tamales” (I am paraphrasing but it is something along those lines) I think a beer would have been better than Sonic drink but C’est la vie
November 22, 20241 yr I skipped my daughter's 9th birthday party to play golf and do cocaine at the winstar
November 22, 20241 yr Follow up question in order to determine this: a) Did the decedent love tamales? If so, you were simply paying respects the way he/she would have appreciated. b) If they did not, did you at least bring some tamales back to give out to the bereaved family? "I'm so sorry for your loss. Would you like bean and cheese, chicken or pork?"
November 22, 20241 yr I feel like you just made an appropriate twist to the old adage, "he died doing what he loved" into "he died, I did something I love" @gofuckyourself I feel like anything other than pork is a bit of a dishonor to the deceased.

November 22, 20241 yr If they asked you where you went, just tell you went to take a shit. The men will understand. The women will be jealous cause they all haven't shit for days.

November 22, 20241 yr also, assuming it was Catholic, you are not the asshole for ducking out on that

Perhaps you missed the part where he said the tamales were really good.
November 22, 20241 yr I feel like I could get brisket to draft a will for me pro burrito if it included clause about having a tamale lady and tray of allsups chimichangas at my funeral
November 22, 20241 yr Sorry, I didn't read any posts; only saw the thread title and jumped in to comment. If you are posting on Surly, and even moreso if you start a thread then the odds are........ wait for it...... you are an asshole Edited November 22, 20241 yr by Wally Fairway

November 22, 20241 yr Rosary recitation is creepy, tamales are delicious. NTA. Although, tamales from Sonic sound shady. [s/]

Although some tamaleistas make better chicken than pork. 3 putt showed up, paid his respects, and opted out of a more dogmatic portion of the services. Who cares. The thing about funerals is that the person you are attending for is, well, they're not exactly going to judge you.
