Today, a customer came into our store and asked if we sold "child-sized coffins". This isn't even the weirdest question I've been asked. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was working at my job at a bank. A couple was waiting in the lobby, and not being busy, I asked what they needed. They told me that they were applying for a loan, so I asked if it was for something exciting. It was to pay for their 12-year-old son's burial expenses. FML
Today, during my uncle's funeral, my four year old loudly asked, "Where's all the dead people?" FML
Today, while I was working at a children's toy store, a woman walked in, looked around a bit, then asked if we sold dildos. FML
Today, while waiting on a customer at a restaurant, I accidentally asked a midget if she'd like a children's menu. FML
Today, at the funeral home where I work, I asked my boss if it was time to "bring out the stiff". I didn't realize the guy's family was not only in the building, but within earshot as well. FML
Today, a customer brought her kids into the store where I work. I like to make people laugh, so being my usual joking self I kidded, "Why aren't those kids in school?" She didn't laugh when she said that their house burned down the night before and the kids had no clothes to wear to school. FML
Today, working in retail, I noticed a customer looking for an item, so I walked up to them and asked, "Is there something I can help you find?" He replied, "Did I ask for your fucking help?" FML
Today, a customer yelled at me because we didn't have any laptops in stock. I work at a clothing store. FML
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
Today, I heard that one of our customers had passed away. Saddened, I told everyone who came into our shop about his death. Understandably, some customers got very upset and one even fainted. Suddenly, the "dead" man walked into the shop. Turns out I got the name wrong. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

OP works at office depot homes. that's their username. office depot does not sell coffins/caskets, and there is no reason why they would.

Given where you work, it bothers me that they maybe looking for one made of cardboard.

Was his eye twitching while holding a knife? If so call 911.

Definitely, eyes holding sharp things in them is an ominous sign.

Some people can be so creepy it's ridiculous. If you get weirder questions though, I think it'd be funny to play along!

Well sadly kids do die too... but if your store doesn't do coffins, yeah, that's pretty creepy...

Cara9898 7

Only thing I can come up with is if they needed a coffin for a play like dracula.

Yeah but this wouldn't be a weird question if she worked at a funeral home. The OPs name is I work at office depot. Most people know they don't cell coffins there.

Why is this a strange question...their child may have passed away...
blcusername 27
Well OP clearly works at Office Depot, and I've never been to one where they sell child size coffins.
