her family had written their initials on the bottom of her possessions to claim them after her death?

My friend's family did this to her grandma (who I truly believe Lucille was based off of) and did not realize it was weird to claim items (lightly with a pencil!) until seeing it parodied on Arrested Development. Her aunts even fought over broaches.

She said it didn't seem weird because of how awful her grandmother is.

Is this a normal thing? Do other people do this?

listen, this thread isn't about the quality of arrested development

i know gbs hates it, gbs hate consumes any and all media of any relevance, including itself

this is about my friend living the life of arrested development, a show that was cancelled for being un-relatable to most americans

was a good show, and i was pretty obnoxious in my fanhood. went to film school in summer of '06 and met all these important people and when it came to Q&A all i ever asked was "how can they cancel it when it was renewed for a few more seasons??? it doesn't make any sense!!!!!!" and these producers and directors just said, "uh, i don't know, anyway, about filmmaking..."
