I say it IS rude and he is not overreacting. What say you?
Hugely rude. I'd be livid.
Not that I wouldn't have just sent the check this time but I'd be really wary of doing anything nice in the future that could be warped. Grrrr.
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I hope you get a treatable diagnosis soon, smonster. Would you like me to pick up anything for you? Orange juice or whatever? Just give me a call if you need anything.
Scrappy, yes, that was rude. I'd be pretty pissed off.

“Not dead yet!”
I'm with the insanely rude, totally not overreacting camp.
Also? The Alaskan cruise we went on this summer was in honor of my in-law's fiftieth wedding anniversary as well.

Oh, wait, was the cruise already paid for? If so, I definitely would not have sent a check.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, I'm assuming you're not out any additional money. If you are, then that's totally different.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Not flu, thank god. Most likely "just" an adenovirus, but I'm probably going to be out all week. I'm getting a note. I do have a low fever, too.
Calli, thank you so much. HT is on my way home, so I'll just pop in and grab a couple of things. Children's liquid Tylenol, Popsicles, and something for dinner.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
No, not out any additional money, thank god. I don't think it's the right behavior on their part, but they are who they are, so what can ya do except be gobsmacked.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You could be a pissy little bitch. Well, maybe you couldn't. I might, though.

Pretty much this. Well, I mean, you could do other things but most of them mean you end up with very ugly familial relationships... So you decide what's important and just get through the rest.
