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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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?

Asking for 2x4's is easier. I'm sure there's a DYI on making small coffins

As someone who has worked retail, people will hand you a dirty diaper and ask you to toss it out for them, let their kids run wild and insult you, and the only people who seem to be "polite" and creepy ass old men who are hitting on you and making overtly lewd sexual comments. Lord knows what OP has had to deal with,

After reading all the comments, I think that i'm more amazed by the number of people asking where the OP works (it's right there in the OP's user name) than the FML. smh

You just don't know what kinds of things people are into..maybe it is better we don't know..where do you work? It would suck if the answer was a maternity store

I just now saw the name..is the customer an assassin by any chance? On the plus side, the store can have this opportunity to cater to a new clientele
