People who dive into grief for celebrity deaths, and post "RIP xxxxxxx" online.
1) If you want someone's soul to rest in peace, the least you can do when saying so is spell the 3 short words out.
It's eternity - no place for time-saving, cheap acronyms.
2) RIP sounds awful. Like "Yeh! You DIED! Let it RIP! *big whoop* Death rocks!"
3) The only reason for writing it is to link yourself to that person in the mind of the reader.
Insulting to those with genuine grief.
4) When I see my Fbook timeline filled with crap written "to" the deceased, like "You were such a caring person"
it makes me want to go round these peoples' houses and haunt them in reply.
'Wooooo, I've shat in your shoes and put a snake in your toilet, you insincere bell end.'
Actually I feel quite a bit better now.
