My friends mother died and I wrote in the memoriam book "too bad, so sad" and now everybody's mad at me...why?

I've heard people say/write "too bad, so sad" countless times, what's wrong with that? Now my friend doesn't want to talk to me anymore and neither do a bunch of other friends. F#<k them! What did I do that was so wrong?

Update:

You never know what to say at one of those moments, who dictates what's right or wrong to say in a situation like that? Everybody says the same old crap like "oh, soooo sorry for your loss." I mean talk about insincere when they're just parroting what everybody else is saying. Or "you're in my thoughts and prayers." What kind of generic sentiment is that? That sentiment means NOTHING! People that say that aren't really going to pray about it and they know it, it's empty! And I say "too bad, so sad" and I get castrated on the cross?!?

    There is no way this question is a real question. Did you draw a little tiny violin next to it?

    Just on the slim chance you are serious, of course they are mad. "Too bad so sad" is an expression used to show you don't care and is used with extreme sarcasm.

    Still...I smelleth troll

    Like Feivel said, I highly doubt this is real, but in case it is... you an @ss hole! How could you say something so extremely insensitive? The fact that you don't see anything wrong with it just prooves that you're and ignorant jack@ss.

    First of all, you just said 'F#<k them' about a friend whos MOTHER just died. You are a terrible friend, they deserve way better than you. Oh, and too bad, too sad sounds uncaring, cold, and sarcastic that's why their mad.

    It might have come across as insensitive because 'too bad' is usually used in a sarcastic way. For example, 'aww you got a detention? Too bad, hahaha'

    It may seem like a phrase that can't be taken too seriously
