selfish bugger!
when my cousin was very young, she lived next to a high rise block.
on her 7th birthday, i was helping out as she and her little friends were playing outside. it was my job to look after them whilst my aunt was arranging party games. all was going well, their happy little faces showing just how much fun they were having.
suddenly, we heard a strange sound from above. it was kind of a "wuuaarrrghhh!" sound. it was, however, a very brief sound, as it was being made by the drugged-up idiot who had just jumped out of the 13th floor window of the high rise next to us. we all saw this guy fall, we all saw him land not 10 feet away, we all heard the sound his body made as it hit the floor. i will never forget that sound. two of the girls were spattered with his blood.
imagine, trying to control and comfort 15 crying, terrified, traumatised little girls, all whilst attempting not to lose it yourself. trust me, it's hard. i managed to get them all back inside and called the police, before calling the girls' parents to come and collect them.
what does my aunt say about all this? "how selfish! doing something so stupid right in the middle of sarah's party!"
i'd like to say that this was the shock talking, but it wasn't. she truly is a fucknut.

on a slightly lighter note, i was babysitting the same cousin a few weeks later and, as my aunt was very late, i'd decided to sleep on the couch. my cousin brought in a duvet and, as i laid it on the couch, she said "that's the one mum put over the dead man."

needless to say, i left as soon as my aunt got home.

Oh dear!
Out in the street hitting the corpse with a brolly :P

Were there any "shroud of Turin" style marks on the sheet?

I agree with your aunt.
It was incredibly selfish. She's right. If someone wants to kill themselves, do it without fucking up someone else's day.

@ musuko
i don't think he actually wanted to kill himself, it was just that he'd taken enough trips to freak out a bull elephant and his belief that he could fly turned out to be unfounded.
