I ducked out in the middle of a funeral today to 1. avoid the rosary, and 2. to go grab a dozen tamales and sonic drink. Both places are within 5 mins of the funeral home. 

Came back, waited for them to wrap up then attended the graveside services. 

damn those tamales are good. I was 2.5 hrs from home and this was my chance to buy some great tamales. place closes at 2. i got there 1:30

If you don't go to your friend's funerals, then they won't go to yours.

You are definitely the asshole.  But you also made the right call.

How close a relative?  Barring immediate or near-immediate family, chances are good that no one noticed you missing. Hence, NTA.

This will lead to a new art movement inspired by Surly stories. Surlyism.

someone's dead and you slip out for tamales?  you're a real piece of work, you know that?  un-fucking-believable.

You're the real asshole here. I didn't need to be brought back into this thread. Start a debate with @futuremanabout the future of tamale kind. 

It'll be super productive.

Jackass!

I came here because I thought there were ABIA delays.  

Evidently...not.

Eat hearty, my friend.

In my honest opinion, you don’t really seem to have cared about attending to actually pay your respects, but rather out of a sense of obligation, or just to make sure that you were seen to have been there.  In either case, it would probably have been more honest to just not have gone at all.

I am craving some tamales now though.

No one loved tamales more than Jesus Christ himself -- it's in the Bible.  So you just did what Jesus would have done.
