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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I asked an elderly customer at my work if she needed help with her groceries. She responded, "I normally would, but I'm afraid you'll eat all the groceries." FML
Today, I was cashiering at a grocery store when an elderly woman came through my line buying prune juice. She then whispered to me that last time she bought it, she "blew up her toilet". FML
Today, at work, I cashed out a sweet old lady. As I handed her the bag, she looked at me kindly and said, "Don’t worry sweetie. It'll get better," to which I responded, "What will get better?" She smiled at me and said, "Your face." FML
Today, a customer at work was having hiccups, so I suggested she should try to hold her breath for a while. Ten minutes later, she's talking to my manager about how I wanted her to "kill herself because of her severe medical condition." FML
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
Today, I was taking a customer's order when she said she'd better go for a salad, because she was getting fat. She was actually very slim, so I told her she wasn't fat at all. She took one look at me and snorted, "Yeah, not compared to you, that's for sure." FML
Today, at work, an elderly lady came up to the cash register with a flyer in her hand, and asked if we had a certain item. I told her we did not have any left, and we would be getting more next week and if she wanted, I could give her a rain check. She hit me in the face with her purse. FML
Today, a woman at the crowded mall stopped me and told me loudly that if I bought her product it would get rid of my acne. FML
Today, I got in line at the grocery store. The woman in front of me looked right at me, turned to her friend, and said "That reminds me, I forgot to get acne cream." FML
Today, at a supermarket entrance, a seemingly drunk old lady said, "Sir?" as I passed by. I just ignored her and walked in. When I walked out with my groceries fifteen minutes later, several people were standing around her, calling for an ambulance. She'd passed out on the ground. FML

Death is not a laughing matter

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*

20 - Your picture makes me want to think you said that facetiously.

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.
