Did I miss the memo where anytime someone dies, their family members are expected to set up a paypal account and collect donations? I'm really disgusted by this practice. I heard that someone's husband died on the site I write for so I popped into the forums there to offer my condolences and they're asking for handouts.
I'm sorry but WTF? This is not a young couple, why didn't they have life insurance or savings. The guy has been sick for some time, he's not a 22 year old who just randomly keeled over.
I think what really bothered me is the amount of people who posted to the thread with comments like "I think everybody should be able to write a few extra articles to donate money."
Yeah, all 20,000 writers on the site should send this lady 30-40 bucks because she deserves to be filthy stinking rich... ugh... It's never enough to just say "I'm sorry for your loss" anymore you have to ignore the outstretched hand and expectant eyes and the catty remarks from other people who think you should "just give her some money, she's sad!" Fuck that noise.
