16. I wouldn't want to be the caretaker

Sun May 5, 2013, 08:32 PM

whose job is to keep up that particular cemetery plot. You'd be amazed at what nasty things people will do to a gravesite, if they hated the person who's buried there (or the relatives who are still living). They don't necessarily stop at defacing the headstone, if there is one. Sometimes they urinate, or defecate, or masturbate on the grave. Would you want to deal with that?
