Today, at work, I misheard a customer telling me a story. To be polite, I did a slight laugh and nodded my head. She actually told me her mum had died. FML

People mumble and often the background noise drowns them out. On top of that, half of the time you don't really want to hear what they're saying anyway and try keep interaction as short as possible, so you smile and nod. I know you've all been there.

OP was probably just too dedicated in doing their job correctly that she blocked out the customers talking to her.

45- What if OP is a customer service representative and her job is to listen to the customer? That's the only one I could think of on the spot and to be honest I am not really that into this conversation enough to think of a better one.
I do understand though, sometimes I think I must be loosing my hearing because I seriously can not understand someone if I can not see their lips moving.

Believe me when you talk a shitload of customers you just begin to smile and nod and say "yeah I know what you mean."
Not surprised this happened eventually.

When your mom dies I'll laugh in your face then come back and tell me how it felt. Douche

Are you saying he's a douche, or that it'll feel like a douche.

84- "I'm joking" oh please, that's an evasive maneuver to get people to stop complaining. That's like how people say "it was sarcasm".

Yes! I'm sure if OP had more time they'd add: "But then she joined in my laughter and said it was OK because actually, they didn't like their mom."

To be polite, never smile, nod or laugh. Make sure you know what they're saying... What if you agreed to an unwanted threesome or that you want to see Edward and Jacob happily married?!
