Ignorance should be punishable...

Who will save me from low doorposts? ... by death.
Today I retrieved my grandfathers ashes from the crematorium. Not the best of days, it was raining like crazy and the thunder I heard when I was inside the main building sounded like someone dropped a big friggin' bomb.
So I've got his ashes and his memorial and I get home. And ofcourse, there's a note on the door from the neighbor. So I ring her doorbell, she opens the door, sees my face and asks me why I'm angry. No, I'm not angry, I'm just extremely sad. So, she tries to comfort me by saying "Well, he did become 86, right?" "No." "85?" "No, 83." "Oh." Se paused. "Well, at least you had him in your life for 83 years."
Seriously? Seriously. "Well, at least you had him in your life for 83 years." I'M 35 YEARS OLD YOU BITCH! How on earth is it possible for someone to say I had my grandfather in my life for 83 years. And she had the heart to say "Well he could have died in his fifties." "Yeah, like my father!"
At that point I just turned around and walked away. I feel ashamed for the fact I'm living next door to a dumb cow. And that is an insult to the cows, I know that. And she wonders why people don't like her.
Her ignorance causes me more grief than I already have. Uncool.

My neighbor really has the IQ of a nerf football.
