[General fantasy] Why are the undead such assholes?

You look at the undead, and they're all monsters. They kill people, and eat people, and haunt people, and so forth. Someone says there's undead coming, and you know you need to get a weapon and fight.  


But why?  


Taking the spontaneous undead rather then mindless zombies, they're just people- *dead* people, sure, but still just people. They generally keep the memories and personality of their living selves, at least roughly, and seem to identify as the same person. So where are all the nice dead people?   
Where are all the kindly grandmothers come back from the grave to make sure people are wrapped up warm for the winter? Where's the mummified bodies who are happy to have company in their ancient tombs? Where's your pal Steve who, sure, is a desiccated corpse now but, you know. It's still Steve. He was your best man at your wedding, so let's have him over for dinner and not point out his eyes are rotting?   


What is about dying and coming back that makes people such *utter pricks*?

Let me put it this way. "Billionaire socialite couple slain in mugging gone wrong" is a front page headline. "Rich doctor and wife take son for fun night out at the movies, absolutely nothing bad happens" is going to be reserved for the bottom left hand corner of the gossip pages.

Similarly, "Legion of the undead descends upon humanity like a plague" is probably going to lead the news, depending on what the Kardashians are up to. "Yet another revenant rises from the grave, goes for a beer with buddies, is mildly upset about the Bruins but doesn't, like, make a thing of it or eat anybody's brains over it"... that's not even worth reporting on.
