Have you ever had someone tell you a horrifying story, but delivered it in a casual, blase way?

I don’t know why I remembered this, but eons ago, when I was a new mom, one of my friends told me she’d read an article about a father who lost his temper with his baby. He was trying to feed the baby a bottle, but the baby wouldn’t stop crying. So…he crammed the bottle down the baby’s throat.
Then my friend mimicked someone holding a baby and said, “Pop!” and mimicked “popping” the bottle down the baby’s throat.
I just wanted to throw up, and her casual, almost joking manner really upset me.

I had another friend, uber religious, around the same time, and she was rabidly anti-abortion. She was always going to rallies and marches and stuff. She had a pin, like the ones you get your picture on at the fair, and then pin it to your shirt. The picture on her pin was of a fetus, probably 7 months along, all bloody and ripped to shreds. I was horrified, and asked how she could even stand to look at it, much less wave it around. It just seemed…I don’t know what the word is. One the one hand she’s condemning abortion, on the other she is waving that picture around and it didn’t seem to bother her at all.

Have you ever had experiences like these?
