Today, my boss delivered some flowers and a sympathy card signed by everyone in the office to my cubicle. The card said, "Sorry your mom died". My mom isn't dead. I don't know where they got the idea from and no one believes me. They said that denial is part of grieving. FML

Bring her into the office to meet your coworkers. That'll scare the shit out of them.

I say go with it, milk this for all it is worth, see what else you can squeeze out of these people, paid time off work?

You'd pretend your mother is dead just for some paid time off? That's low

If all these people are that stupid including her boss to believe everybody else but her without any proof including an Obituary. They deserve to be taken advantage of.

#19 So what happens when OP's mother actually dies and they are penalised for taking bereavement leave twice?

"They deserve to be taken advantage of"
Nobody deserves to be taken advantage of, especially those people who are showing that they care.

It would be really really hard not to do this if there was a hot coworker who was about to give me sympathy sex. MA THE MEATLOAF!

It could be a prank. You could send them video evidence of you and your mom.

Wait a year or so and then bring her to work with you and say that you finally managed to bring her back.

Or just have her wear white make up and have OP look completely oblivious to the fact she is there.

If someone is spreading rumours about you, this one is very low.

It sounds more like a prank to me seeing that nobody believes OP when they say she's not dead. If someone told me their parent wasn't dead I would believe them and not say its denial. Although, using a death in the family as a prank is low. I could be wrong though, and I guess there is a possibility the entire office is just idiots for not believing OP.

Create a big ritual-type of performance before she walks in to scare them even more

If she does, she'll be the coolest mom ever. Get back at the prankster OP.

I was gonna say have her snap a picture of herself next to something with the current date and time on it, but that idea is even better.
Heck when she visits have her take the sympathy and flowers with her. Have her be like "these are mine now"

Going the wrong way about what? If anything, they seem to be just misinformed but are showing genuine sympathy. They're going about things the right way, but are misinformed on what's happening

in my opinion, if i try to tell someone my mom isnt dead, i expect them to believe me, not tell me "its all part of the grieving stage, youre just in denial"

could be a prank? they're all in on it? i agree it isn't a very good one. but they've done a good job of freaking you out!

Agreed. The fact that no one believes OP when they say their mom is alive and that the coworkers are all saying Op's in denial makes it sound like a prank to me.
