Today, it was my first day as a mailman. One of the houses got a bunch of cards, and the owner coincidentally opened the door as I arrived. So I said to the owner that someone in the house must really be popular. He replied, "She died this Tuesday." FML

Today, at my job at a pet store, my boss told me to go outside and hand out flyers. I saw a man sitting on a bench and walked up, saying, "Hi! Do you have a pet?" He teared up and said, "I just put her down this morning." FML

Today, I was expecting a package from a few days ago, but it still hadn't arrived. As I was going to work, I found it at my grandma's house. Why didn't my grandma tell me, you ask? She died last year. My package was mistakenly delivered to A DEAD PERSON. FML

Today, on the first occasion I've seen my boss since her brief leave, I brought up how I got to hear all our customers' heartwarming plans for their moms on Mother's Day. Her mother just died. That's why she was on leave. FML

Today, I called a guy who had requested a free marketing consultation for his funeral home through the internet a couple of days ago. When I got through, the receptionist seemed a little taken back by me wanting to talk to him. He had died and was buried yesterday. FML

Today, at work, our team started a new sales strategy of selling flowers to men by asking them to buy one for their lovely ladies. The first guy I ask ends up crying and telling me his wife passed away a week ago. The woman with him was actually his sister. FML

Ugh... I hate people like that. You are just trying to be friendly... they should just smile and nod. What is saying 'she died' going to do, except for make you feel bad! I used to get this occasionally when I made company calls. I am sorry but I had no way of knowing they died! It would be absurd of me to assume every one may have died since the last time they dealt with the company. They could at least be polite about it! Sorry OP!

I don't see what's bad about that... ok so she died, but she was obviously still "popular" because many people are sending condolences. that's a great thing, better than nobody sending something when you die. if it SOUNDED bad you could easily repeat it and make it sound respectful, "oh I'm so sorry... it looks like there were a lot of people that they mattered to..." and walk away!
