I am use to bureaucracy from the bureaucrats side. Ive worked in the social services field for most of my career. I have always been as understanding as possible with the people i've worked with when they get mad or frustrated at me, as the bureaucrat, with all the red tape and hoops that have to be jumped.

Im trying to be understanding, I really am! I get it that hubby's friend (who he has neither seen or talked to for a year and I had never heard her name before that) died.
