Chris posted that message on the profiles of one of his Facebook friends (the discussion he commented on was about time zones and Mad Men and has nothing to do with what he said).

I feel like an awful bastard for laughing at this status, but judging from the way he phrased the thing as the "Loud Noise", Chris makes it seem like they either killed Bob with an impromptu surprise birthday party or an exceptionally loud fart.

Also, Chris, bullshit you had more freedom. Bob was stopping your dumb ass from plunging into poverty. Kinda like what you're doing now that he's dead.

It's funny, with how much he loved Animal Crossing you'd think he'd have even the vaguest concept of money management. Even when I was a kid I was like "oh, so I actually don't spend all my money and instead save it so I can pay off my debt, now it all makes sense." It's like the one thing he didn't learn from video games.

You could stuff Chris with all the information in the world and he'd still be unable to put it into use.
 
If all it took was a Loud Noise to kill Bob, Chris had been actively contributing to his death for decades. Not counting the years spent screaming at invisible enemies into his PSEye, by his own admission his only means of communication in his first seven years of life was screeching & throwing tantrums.
You killed Bob, Chris! It's all your fault!

The really sad thing is that Bob once had a massive heart attack in the middle of Golden Corral. But of course he doesn't remember one of the things that actually did help kill Bob, or he's too dumb to make the correlation that excessive fast food intake = bad.

If I had to guess, Barb is blaming the hospital for killing Bob, as old hillbillies are wont to do, and Chris, being Chris, only picked up on the tiniest and most out-of-context part of her complaints and his autism translated it into the staff murdering Bob with sound.

Simplest explanation is Barb tells Chris that whatever he's doing to annoy her is what killed bob
"Your father died because of a sudden loud noise.....keep it down so you don't kill me"

This. . .actually makes a lot of sense. There's no doubt that Chris suddenly blaming the hospital for his father's "untimely" death six years after the fact is all Barb. But the complaints about "losing his freedom" usually come after Barb nagging or annoying him more than usual (see below), so I think @MMX is on to something there.

"I had more freedom when he was alive." That's a terrible thing to say! Chris, no! That's a horribly selfish thing to say! I'm sorry that just disgusts me.

The sad part is that this isn't even the first time he has said this.
Chris said:
Good grief! I started playing resident evil revelations on PlayStation three in front of my mother and she had to be grossed out about it even when I'm scanning. [...]And she goes on to complain to me about how it would affect my mind.
My mother has really been getting on my nerves! I really need my girlfriend so that I can get away from here now and then; and I cannot even go downtown now because it wastes so much gas and gas is so costly! [...]
I have had more freedom when my father was alive and I end up losing it when he passed away because now I got to serve my mother and protect her and everything!

What's the word for something being both hilarious and tragic at the same time?

I keep reaching for it, but the only thing I find is Christian Weston Chandler. And that's too many fucking syllables. *sigh*

The word you are looking for is "tragicomic."

How does that work? :lol: Is she going to huff and puff and blow his new place down?

Take him to court on identity theft and putting her in debt? I doubt he's just using his cards for his games and big titty porn.

Alternative interpretation is she means to throw out his shit or harbor him from stepping foot on the property if he tries to leave. More likely scenario.

Either way, Chris is exceptional enough to latch onto anything he's told or hears, and interprets it into something entirely complex or horrible, like a shot Sherlock. He doesn't hear Barb making hollow threats, he takes it as his mommy dearest kicking him to the curb and disowning him for saying he's had enough.

Stockholm syndrome, I guess?
 
Anybody who's ever been to a hospital knows it isn't a place to rest and get better. It's a stressful environment where people are taking your blood pressure every hour on the hour and walking in and out of the room at all hours. The loud noise was probably Barb arguing that if they just let him sleep he would be fine. If they just let him sleep he would have died faster.
 
You know, Chris complains a lot about "stress." It takes a much darker turn given that he thinks that a "stressful surprise" is what killed Bob. I imagine Chris thinks he's like a bottle of nitroglycerin, and he'll just drop dead at the slightest shock, and so the only answer is to stay in his room and play vidya.
 
I get almost every post here is reacting to this in similar ways but this is so bizarre, that an incredulous and confused reaction is the only one that's really justified.

Chris was clearly lashing out here because he's stressed about money and it's easy to say something stupid when you're stressed but it's laughable he thinks somehow Bob could have lasted another six years when his body was ravaged by cancer and heart issues.

For him to say Bob, who was on death's door, only died because I don't know, a nurse in the corridor outside laughed loudly about a joke or something is just insanity. If he wants to blame anybody he should blame him and his mother for allowing him to live his last months in agony and discomfort.
 
The staff put more effort into helping Bob than Chris did in his entire life, so he should shut his trap.

It's always sad to lose a loved one. That being said, this isn't mourning. It's just living in the past.

Yes, Chris is not thinking about Bob as a person, but he is thinking about Bob as the accommodator of shenanigans. I bet Bob's first family (including his children) knew who he was a human being more than Chris. . If Chris was ever on family feud, and the topic was Bob, Chris would probably become extremely angry and claim they were making up lies about Bob, who loved Burger King, Jazz, and taking care of Chris and Barb.

If only Bob knew of the ending that awaited him when a drunken Barb "chased him down a hall."

He would have just entered denial sooner:

I interpreted that last statement as a reference to actual freedom of some sort. Remember, just a bit more than a month later, the events of 28 October 2011 happened. At this point, especially after the macing incident, Chris was probably more paranoid of people, especially the cops.

My point stands, he doesn't want his father back so he can spend time with him or make anything right about how he treated him before he passed. He wants him back so he can have his own selfish freedom back and drop all of his responsibility off on his father once more instead of being an adult. However, I have to remember this is Chris we're talking about.

This is the same sort of thing that suddenly made him believe Megan was the troll queen years after she was gone. He runs so many scapegoats into the ground that the old ones' failure to make his life better can get tiring to him after a while, but he needs to blame something outside of himself so he just rewrites history and comes up with another.

Sounds amazingly like a certain Pmurt lately. It's nice Chris finally has a role model.
