Dead baby pics, yea or nay?

ohbusiness posts in customers_suck about being upset about developing some pictures of a stillborn baby. Instantly, people begin wanking about the customer's insensitivity to the OP and the OP's insensitivity towards the customer, again and again and again. There are also some inevitable personal anecdotes.The award for special achievement in

Ehhh...I didn't see any insensitivity towards the customer. She didn't say "hey, could you have warned someone?" or anything like that.

She kept the rant to CS.

I was all good up until this: but i really wish people wouldn't photograph shit like dead babies.

Sorry, but really, what are parents supposed to do? I lost a baby. I took pictures. They are all I have left. I can understand being upset at seeing the pics, especially if she wasn't prepared to do so. But that last sentence just seemed very insensitive.

I fail to see how it is a customers_suck to take pictures of your deceased child and bring them to be developed.

I feel for the girl, because it's probably pretty disturbing to just come across those photographs. I think if she'd phrased her dismay a bit better, the wank probably would never have started. A phrase like "I wish people wouldn't photograph shit like dead babies" doesn't generally endear you to people.

well with no life experience frame of reference i can imagine it has the possibility to evoke something closer to the sick voyeurism of rotten.com than of family photos. moving from one to the other takes a serious amount of growing up, and i don't know that it's fair to expect everyone to get there when we'd like them to.

i know some adults that still aren't.

One of the things you learn when you're a grown up is that not every single thing in the world is about you. No one cares how you feel, sometimes, or about what you think, because you have no meaningful part in what's happening. This is where the OP is at. She was squicked at having to look at pictures of the saddest thing that ever happened to someone else? Too bad. It's not about about her. She should be grateful that it wasn't her, and move on.
