am I an insensitive jerk?

well, I do have better things to do, but I'd never say it 😉

I'll probably send the family a condolance card, apologize for not being able to attend, and use work as an excuse (ie: I was on-call all weekend. who'd want my cellphone ringing in the middle of the wake? especially with my ringtone -- Love will Tear Us Apart)

I don't see me going to the funeral in this situation.
You got my vote.

if your friend (whos girlfriends father passed away) didn't ask you directly, then you should not feel obligated to go. If he did ask, then you should go unless you really dont want to and can make up an excuse.

You should go if YOU are upset about this person passing and YOU need closure or to support someone who does (say if this was YOUR girlfriend). A friend of a friend is more of a wedding invite than a funeral..

Do you have any friends (Besides him)?

If so, they are insensitive JERKS for not going to their friend's friend's girlfriend's father's funeral. dUH! 😛

Silly, goose.
