Today, while at my cosmetics job, an elderly lady came up to me asking for a product. I told her we had a smaller size and a larger size for a better deal. She told me she wanted the smaller size because she'd "probably be dead" before she finished that one. I laughed. She was serious. FML

Actually, finding humor in death is a coping mechanism. It's a way we desensitize ourselves from it. It is seen a lot in military members.

In fact, I laughed pretty heartily when I killed that...wait a minute, I shouldn't have said that...carry on! *whistles innocently*

How awkward would it have been if she died right there.

It would have made it that much hilarious. Well to me at least, but then again i am morbid as hell.

That's sad. Wonder if she is just saying cause she's old or if she's sick.

That's the kind of old woman that I want to be. Creating awkward situations wherever I go :)

Why do you think YOUR life sucks? SHE'S the one with a shelf life shorter than cosmetics. I am positive that you will be saying dumb shit LONG after she's gone. YDI

Getting old and dying is a natural part of life. Do you feel bad for every elderly person because they have a "short shelf life?" If anything the old lady is lucky she has lived so long and had a full life; OP could die tomorrow in an accident or something. Or that whole 2012 end of the world thing thats supposed to happen in December. If an old person said something like that to me, I'd probably take it as a joke too.
