The Big Question

Grieving Relative Lashes Out: Justified or Out of Line?

After a long day at work, our protagonist was confronted by the grieving relative of their late elderly neighbor. The stranger accused them of not looking out for their neighbor and called them self-involved. Unable to hold back, our protagonist snapped back, pointing out that they’re new to the neighborhood and never even met the deceased. They also questioned why it took the family three months to find their relative. Was our protagonist justified in their response, or should they have been more understanding of the grieving relative’s emotions? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
