“Last Rites”

manners

I was out of town because my grandmother was dying. As the priest was giving her the Last Rites, he told me over the phone that it was unfair to him that I had been spending so much time with my family and no time with him over the previous four days. He also wanted to know when the funeral was scheduled to be, so he’d know when I’d be coming back home. She was still alive.

Aftermath: I hung up on him after calling him selfish, and broke up with him very shortly thereafter.
