      Yeah, this shower thought is awfully judgy coming from a (presumably hypothetical) killer.

      Counter counterpoint: you are the dead body and your best friend is helping to bury you.

        I have prepended an almost every time I’ve said seriously that sort of thing to someone.

      For me it’d be fine. For my actually close friends I specifically said I would help them with a body if needed, so they’re honouring my wishes by asking

      I dunno, asking a friend is the right thing to do. Demanding things is how I ended up with a body in the first place.

    A bad friend won’t help you bury a body.

    A good friend will help you bury a body.

    A best friend will help you make a body.

    If you ask a friend to help you bury a body and they agree, that person is definitely a good friend. They’re a bad person for assisting you in murder, but you can be a good friend and a bad person.

      moving a body doesn’t mean they committed murder, seems more like accessory or destruction of evidence.

    Burying a body with friends isn’t hard, or even uncommon. Getting them to never talk about it … that’s hard

    Friends help you move. Real friends help you move bodies.

    ETA- I don’t think burial is the proper disposal if you’re trying to avoid detection.

      Ehh, plant a tree sapling over it and nobody will find it. Trees will devour a carcass for it’s nutrients.

      It really depends on where you bury the body. Once you get out of developed areas, it gets very hard to track things down. Take this example; she was missing for two years, and her body was found in a tent, in a sleeping bag, just two miles off the Appalachian trail, which is one of the busiest hiking trails in the US. If someone was actually buried out there, the odds that they’d ever be found are very, very poor.

      Admittedly, carrying a body off trails through fairly dense forests ain’t gonna be easy. If you were going to do it, I’d say start by getting an old car with no GPS, get some paper maps, make sure that you leave all of your electronics at home so that there’s no electronic trail of where you’ve been (especially your cell phone!), and only use cash for gas, etc. while you’re driving to your body dump site. Assuming that the body isn’t recovered for at least a year, you’re likely in the clear.

    If anyone feels this way, it might be a sign that you need to simply find new friends, or find yourself and seek a therapist.

    You might be the problem if you are in this situation and the friend is actually okay.

    Nah, you have the right kind of friend, they don’t just help but the body, they kill the fucker for you and you never know there’s a body

      Must every use of a singular pronoun be called out? This isn’t offensive, it’s slip of the tongue. Get out your own arse and give people a break.

        I find the way of expressing it a little excessive but completely understand the sentiment and based on some recent irl experiences I completely understand such an outburst.
