The first one would be a source of mild amusement.

You would be amused if a relative - or even a friend, assuming you
still have any - were banned from driving?

How long have you been estranged from your family?

One can just imagine a certain sort of person being unsympathetic in
such circumstances, but being *amused* by it?

Really?

If the incompetence continued to the full set, they would not ask
for sympathy and they wouldn't get any if they did.

Have you ever asked yourself whether you have your sense of life's
priorities in the right order?


It's not as though they've got cancer.


Cancer.
You have just dropped as low as a human can get with that comment.
****.


A colleague once had his car written off so he was without one for a few
weeks. He commented that some people had spoken to him as though it was
a bereavemment.

In a statement such as "it's not like..." what other conditions would be
more acceptable to you?

Presumably whereas you would only find a relative's driving
disqualification mildly amusing, you would find their cancer diagnosis
hilarious.

You're the expert. Without doubt, without Mr Pounder's intervention you
would have written a three paragraph reply.

You and Mason are the only people I have ever encountered who have
either (a) expressed pleasure and amusement at a relative's or friend's
misfortune in getting a licence endorsement or disqualification or (b)
stated that they would be pleased and amused were it to happen.

You each have the same screw loose.

All the loose screws are amongst those that don't know the meaning of
misfortune or the difference between amusement and pleasure.
