Today, while at work at a call center, I got a call from an elderly man who needed a new credit card because he'd accidentally cut up his own card instead of his wife's. Trying to be funny, I said "Trying to keep her in line, eh?" Turns out his wife had just died. FML

It's not like you knew she had passed away. Don't beat yourself up about it.

He was keeping her in line for the crematorium.

It's best to avoid controversial jokes while working in a calling center. That joke had hints of abusive relationship written all over it.

You couldn't have known that, OP. Seriously, FYL.

You're an adult, so don't try to be funny.

Laughing makes life better...wtf kind of response was that? You're supposed to build rapport with customers. OP was doing their job.

IM SO GLAD YOU SAID THAT. It literally is my job to make my customers feel like they're talking to a friend.
