Today, at my new job at a funeral home, my boss threatened to fire me if I didn't "lighten the hell up" while dealing with our grieving clients. FML

They already have to see a dead person in a coffin, they shouldn't have to see one behind the counter too, or whatever your new job is.

Your doing the right thing by being stern and serious. My dad is a mortician and he has the personality of a dead person.

Why yes.... Because grieving people want to see a cheery person with the personality of a cheesy theme restaurant server working at a funeral... FYL OP!

Try singing a few show tunes next times. Maybe start with "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life?"

I can actually see his boss's point. No offense, but yah. People die, but people live on after it as well. You were probably worsening the situation for the grieving family.

People who push the YDI button for no reason are "assholes".

If a mortician has to tell you to lighten up... yeah, you need to.

It's the kind of job that numbs you eventually so your boss may have a different take on how to deal with clients. Don't act as though it was a family member/close friend of your own but bear in mind you're interacting with people who probably don't deal with death on a daily basis.

I'm going into Mortuary Science as well... and I have to say this FML scares me now.
