Today's unpopular opinion came from an individual who did not appreciate being called in the middle of the night to be notified about a death. 

"Hi Stacey

My unpopular opinion is very simple. 

Do not call me in the middle of the night and tell me that someone is dead. They’ll still be dead in the morning at least let me get a decent’s night’s rest and deal with it in the morning." - Anonymous 

We wanted to hear from KZN if you felt the same way. Should the family wait to call people in the morning, or is it necessary to communicate the news in the middle of the night? Comments varied and you had a lot to say about this topic!
