First time poster, but I have got to vent about a former (human) friend and this seemed like the best place.
Short story: former HS friend had cancer 4 times - as a kid, as a teen, as a young adult (now is 31). People had fundraisers, he got two different kidneys, etc. Had recurrences, beat them all. So you know, a feel good story. Well, we're still FB "friends" and all his posts are just really excessive food and/or booze pics. Food like copious amounts of pasta, cheese, meat, etc. - you know the kinds. Drinks to excess (with a donor kidney, no less). Saw a recent pic and, wouldn't you know it - he's fat now. He also constantly posts how happy he is to be alive and how much he owes the people who supported him, donated to him (including the two who gave him the KIDNEYS), etc. But it pisses me off because, well, he's gotten SO MANY chances and this s how he chooses to use his life now - shoveling in the food and booze and growing in girth? So many people don't get a 2nd chance - he's on his 4th and does this? I'm at the point where I kind of can't stand to see posts from him because I want to just blast him for wasting what should be a precious gift and instead becoming a glutton. Two people gave this genius organs from their own bodies so what, he can smother them under a wall of fat? How many cancer patients don't get this kind of care? I suppressed these thoughts for so long for fear of them making me a "bad person" for thinking he's an example of care being wasted, but I'm reaching the point of not caring anymore and wanting to say something.
Anyway, thanks for letting me vent and say my piece here, because lord knows I can't say it any place else.

This fat seems like a terrible person. If he isn't close to you or your other friends, just a Facebook contact, then shame it publicly. You'll be deleted but maybe, just maybe, it'll work.

I second this. He deserves to hear your perspective and he's a retarded douche who is absolutely wasting a HUGE gift. I'm sure his donors are looking at him like "fuck, what was I thinking??"

The thing that infuriates me more than that waste of oxygen pissing away not one but two donated kidneys is that YOU would be the asshole for calling him out on his bullshit.

Yeah, I wish my best friend had that kind of luck with her cancer. surprise, fats are gonna be selfish till the very end. Maybe when it comes back the final time, and it's concretely linked to his obesity, he'll realize what he's done.
Or eat another cheeseburger, they're not the smartest pigs on the market.

This is true - part of why I dislike him so much is because I did lose a friend in 2015 to leukemia - she was a wonderful (thin) lovely person who fought like hell to live and it just didn't happen for her - she didn't get that chance. My sister had a cancer scare of her own earlier this year when she needed a tumor removed from her brain (turned out to be benign, but there was a short period when we didn't know). There are so many people who don't get another chance - or certainly not a 3rd or 4th. I think that's why I legit feel such anger towards him and think I might have to say something.

Totally unfair to his donors. Selfish pig who deserves public shaming for being blatantly so disrespectful to everyone who has helped him to stay alive.

At the very least, block his posts. What an ungrateful swine.

I have a fatass uncle that drank and ate himself into diabetes, was in denial about it until it wrecked his kidneys and he needed a transplant.
He got the transplant but does the same exact bullshit. On top of him being an all-around terrible human being, I get really pissed thinking about how that kidney could've gone to someone who deserved it.

That's how I feel. With this guy, his first donor was his mother when he was younger. That kidney failed after a few years for reasons I don't know. They then did ads looking for another donor, since I guess nobody else in his family matched. Like, they featured him on our local news and everything. And a STRANGER donated the next one. It was a guy who had served in the military and wanted to "continue a life of service" as he put it, and he was just moved by this kid with cancer and wanted to help and he gave him a kidney. It was really amazing - but that increases my anger now, because this saintly guy did this and the recipient just wants to eat and drink his life away and waste the gift. Dude should have held onto it for somebody who would appreciate his sacrifice.

Sounds like now that he's cured of cancer he wants another crutch to lean on to still get attention, pity, and free favors.
Exactly what a lot of piggies do since they have no other qualities to make anyone love or even like them.

My sister is my hero. She gave me a kidney (left Australia and her babies to come to Vancouver to give it to me) 5 years ago and I took THE BEST care of it I could. I followed all the directions, despite it being difficult. I took my meds on the dot, I ate specifically what and when I was supposed to, didn't drink, didn't do drugs, I took everything so seriously, despite it being so hard on my body I just wanted to give up.
It pisses me off that it failed after two years due to the rare type of Kidney Disease that I have, but two years was actually pretty good despite it. My friend, who has the same condition as me (only other person I've met with it), had her kidney last two days.
Your ex-friend does NOT deserve the gift of life.

The odds of him getting cancer again is almost 100% after you have it once your odds double every time, so hes already had it 4 times he's fucked. It will catch up to him no doubt
