#30: Mortified Mortician
Working in a funeral home is tricky. Morticians have to remain professional yet comforting for grieving families and friends. Naturally, morticians are people too and embarrassing moments are bound to happen at such a sensitive job. This person’s family friend had a memorably bad experience while trying to comfort a family before a viewing.
This guy was doing all the usual comforting things that morticians do: offering tissues, saying reassuring things, and making sure the family looks put together. While comforting the matriarch of this particular family, he noticed a loose hair had fallen onto her cheek. Intuitively, he gently grabbed the hair and removed it, only to hear a scream coming from the woman’s mouth. He had accidentally plucked a hair that was growing out of her face! The incident seemed to blow over after she cursed him out in Italian, so we guess it turned out alright in the end.
