I wish that one of the reaction emojis were disgust or dismay,
because that was my gut reaction to the OP.

OP, I feel for your friend. After helping my Dad deal with my
Mom's things when she died and now dealing with my Dad's things,
I can't believe the audacity of your friend's visitors.
My Mom was known for her aprons; in fact, one of her friends
wrote a poem with each letter of APRON standing for something.
I inherited the entire collection. I knew a few of her friends
would like to have one. No one asked but when I offered, they
jumped at it. I offered some of the nicer ones that hadn't been
worn much but every one of them wanted one of her more well worn
ones. I kept a couple of my favourites and allowed them to
choose one from the rest. Had any of them asked before she
passed, I'm pretty sure I'd have made sure they didn't get one!

I don’t know that there has been any increase in covetousness:
after all, the twin tropes of greedy relatives eyeing up the
silverware and buttering up the rich aunt in hopes of a legacy,
and of unseemly altercations at the wake over who gets the best
dinner service, are venerable staples of literature and
folklore. What there has been a decrease in, is the old
presumption that if one can’t suppress one’s baser feelings one
should at least try to conceal them. There are people these days
who genuinely feel that there’s something insincere or downright
unhealthy about not saying what’s on their mind, no matter how
hurtful or offensive it will clearly be.

My husband keeps saying that there doesn't seem to be any sense
of shame.
There are areas where I'm glad we're losing that (when people's
nudes get leaked, for example), but other places where I wish we
had more of it.

But the perpetrators of revenge p*rn and the like would
definitely be the better for feeling more shame. There was a
case about a dozen years ago now of a young man who had got off
with a young woman who worked in the same merchant bank (I
think; something of that kind, anyway) and was surprised and
thrilled at her enthusiasm and inventiveness. On waking next
morning he promptly messaged his best friend and told him all in
lurid detail. BF then forwarded the story to his entire friend
group, saying 'I feel honour-bound to share this', and of course
by the time the unfortunate young woman arrived at work the
entire City knew all about her bedroom exploits. More than a
decade later I still can't get my head around what the word
honour-bound could possibly have been doing in that sentence.

Just recently, I read something on Reddit. LW had a massive
crush on a woman who worked in his local bar. He kept flirting
with her, and finally one night, she agreed to go out with him.
And to his delight, they even ended up in bed together. He was
in heaven! The next night, he goes into the bar. He waves
eagerly at her, and she smiles and waves back. So excited, he
turns to the man next to him at the bar and spills his guts as
to what happened. I mean, he had already told all of his friends
what had happened (best sex he ever had!), but he was about to
burst. So he described in detail to this man what had happened.
A few minutes later, he notices the man down at the far end of
the bar, talking to his crush. The 2 of them are looking at the
man's phone, and then she looks up at the LW and glares at him.
Turns out, the man is an extremely old friend of the crush, and
he recorded on his phone what the LW was saying, every explicit
detail and the fact that he had already told everyone he knew
and was now branching out to strangers.
Crush will no longer speak to LW. She refuses to wait on him
(the other wait staff will still serve him, but he is feeling an
icy cold chill in the air). She will cross the street to avoid
him. LW was distraught. How could that awful man tell her? LW
didn't know the man was a friend of hers! He thought he could
safely expose her private life to a stranger. How can he make
her forgive him?
As you may guess, the comments ripped him to shreds.

Wow, what the LW did was beyond despicable! It's too bad his
"crush" didn't rip him a couple of new ones! >:(

Boy, it's been a while. I think it was the niceguys section of
reddit, but I am not even sure about that.
