I had an old friend tell another friend "you're lucky you don't have parents," after being told to do something he didn't want to do by his own parents.
My friend always joked about his parents being dead, and we'd often do it too in good spirit (he'd laugh really hard and bounce off of it), but this kid was 100% serious, and he could tell. It really got to him, because he felt that being told to take out the trash, or whatever, was more painful than having his parents die.

We stopped talking to him not long after that.
Really makes you think about how you should appreciate what you do have, doesn't it?
