My husband and I were in a serious car accident. We have totaled our car (mine, actually. I paid for it, and it is in my name, but we both use it as it has excellent safety features). A drunk driver hit us on the highway, we started to roll and ended up in front of a big truck (I think in the USA it’s called a semi-automatic truck). We were hurt, but nowhere near the injuries you would expect from seeing the wreck. So MIL sent a FB Marketplace ad in the family group chat, stating that she heard we are in need of a new car, and the one in the ad is a good price. All good, except… it is a rust bucket. One headlight is missing. 90% of the car is covered in rust. The paint is mismatched (3 colors. One for a door, one for the bonnet, and one for the rest of the car). The windshield is broken, and there is no bumper. The closest I can get to giving a visual is similar to Mater in Cars (just not as cute as Mater). My husband just made a face and didn’t answer her, neither did I. I am seriously annoyed with her making a bad joke about it. Did I lose my sense of humor in the accident, or is that just really no-no behavior on her part?

A bad joke isn’t JN in my opinion.
How are you guys doing physically?
As a one-off offense you would be overreacting a little. If it’s part of years of annoying jokes and stupid comments, totally justified.
