Yup. My coworker's wife lost a baby after announcing it to me and other management (he was excited), and it was well within the first trimester. I felt really bad for him, and the best I could do is not bring it up and just focus on work.
It's hard to place yourself into someone else's position, so if in doubt, it's usually best to stay quiet.
I cooked at a restaurant with a guy who had something similar happen a couple years before I started there. His nickname was angry johny because he was so irritable. Whenever tears in heaven by Clapton came on he would would yell at the manager to skip the song and dissappear into the walk in. He ended up quitting for other reasons but a year or two later I ran into him at a bar and he and the same lady had a healthy birth and all his anger melted away and he turned into a really rad dood. He even apologized to me about his behavior in said kitchen.
No topic is completely off limits to jokes, but some combinations of joke and audience sure as hell are.
I agree about timing, but moreso that that joke is dated AF, who makes DMV jokes anymore? If you're gonna be edgy make a relatable joke, jeez.
Real life shock to learn the empathy that online interactions lack.
More likely a coping mechanism to deal with real life shock.
*unecessery emotions that suck anyways\s
Found anon
Caring about family members?
You mean the only thing that allowed you to survive into adulthood?
How sad must it be to be so withdrawn from empathy that you can't even realize how dependent you are on it.
Women, "I miscarried last week, my husband and I have been trying for years and we really thought this was it."
Men, "You think that's bad? Have you been to the DMV?".
Reminds me of that old joke about how guys will get the flu and be like “this is the worst experience anyone has ever had happen to them OMG”
Meanwhile women and people AFAB literally have periods and may even give birth…
Poor anon. Should've said that research found miscarriages to be more common than previously believed and that this specific one likely wasn't the first and definitely not the last.
It's these little details that make all the difference...
"I know this is awful, but it'll probably happen again."
I don't know, chief. Probably not the best approach.
Comment was sarcastic and dunking on op for being socially stunted.
Look on the bright side, now you and hubby can have your DNA tested and find out how incompatible you are and that you have about a 25% chance of producing a healthy offspring. Yay, knowledge!
Well thynk you, now everybody knows I'm not working on the task at hand.
Depending on the woman, this will either help, or shatter them.
The actual odds are around 50% self abort. Mostly within the first month. 10-20% happen between 1 and 3 months. Critically, almost none of the risk is down to the mother. It just happens.
I couldn't get the fear out of my wife's mind on this. All I could do was quantify it, and lay the groundwork that it wasn't her fault if the pregnancy failed.
It's best to just drop the factoids and offer emotional support in situations like this.

Their fam is partying it up in the dmv line
Lol anon's a dumbass. I work in healthcare and miscarriages are pretty common and for most people it's pretty easy to get pregnant again, by the story she wasn't admitted to the hospital so the pregnancy couldn't be very far. So it's not that big of a deal. That said, even if it isn't a big deal if you see someone crying you don't crack jokes lol. Have some tact and empathy. All that if the story was real, which it isn't.
The problem was the joke sucked. He should have reported her for murder to the government of Alabama, as a prank.
Too many people today in situations like Anon’s. Society needs to change.
Mfw 28 and living with parents
Where I live, living with your parent's is cheaper and better economically even your whole life, after getting married, having kids, ...
I have cousins where 4 generations of familly live together in the same house with no issues.

with no issues
Hmmm
I'm glad I live in a country where family value is strong and still living parents is less taboo, because the rent is too damn high. Although people who came from individualistic countries are judging. I remember ten years ago I have a friend from France who is weirded out we don't move out even at twenty. But even if we want to, we have a housing crisis that persists to this day?
People are different, happy to hear that you have good relationship with your parents - that's not the case for everyone. Also there people who value their privacy and personal freedom more than the convenience of living in a big family.
If you are my neighbor, there are definitely issues. That house isn't designed for 17 people. I have no idea where y'all sleep.
As long as you aren't being a NEET. but this is a 4chan user so it's kind of implied

Well, they're on 4chan...
That's rookie numbers where i live
