Today, while at my job as a hairdresser, I was giving an elderly client a perm and I thought she'd fallen asleep. She'd died. FML

Today, at the hairdresser's, I fell asleep while my hair was being washed. My barber had to shake me awake. FML

Today, I was cleaning one of my elderly patient's teeth. After finishing and reminding her to floss, I realised she had died. Supposedly she was dead for a good 20 minutes. 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, at work, I served a customer who looked so much like my grandma that I thought it actually was her. Then I remembered she died 6 months ago. I had to serve customers with a smile on my face while choking back tears for the rest of the day. FML

Today, I took the bus to work. A sweet old lady got on after and sat next to me. Halfway there, she fell asleep, her head on my shoulder. I gently tried to wake her up before my stop. She wasn't sleeping. I let a dead woman lie on me for 30 minutes. FML

Today, I work at a hospice center. At 3AM, a call just went out to a man's family to come because he was dying. I didn't realize that this man was my old friend's grandpa. When I saw her, I smiled really big and said, "Hey! Great to see you!" Her grandpa was ACTIVELY DYING. Stupid stupid stupid. FML

Today, I was volunteering at a nursing home calling bingo numbers. One woman stood up and started making noises, so I assumed she had won and started clapping. She then fell on the floor and died of a heart attack. I essentially applauded her death. FML

Today, a woman came into my life and took all I had left in the world. The woman was my hair stylist. She took my hair and the last of my money. FML

Today, at my job as a hotel housekeeper, I accidentally entered the room of someone who hadn't left yet. To my horror, the man inside was having a massive heart attack. I just found out he passed away, despite immediate medical intervention. FML

Today, I was listening to a client's heartbeat with a stethoscope, when I noticed one of my hairs had fallen on her chest. I tried to brush it off, but it didn't move, so I went to pick it up with my fingers. That's when I found it it wasn't my hair, it was hers... and it was still attached. FML

What a time for her to cut out! Sorry op but its the natural cycle of things, I bet she wasn't planning on kicking it in your chair! If you were personal friends with her and her family, my condolences.

That's terrible...I hope it was peaceful for her. What if she knew she was going to die? Anyways, I hope your doing okay with it, I'd be scarred for life.

I couldn't even image how you felt. Just applying that perm solution like normal and she drops dead. Do you call an ambulance or wash out the nasty smelling solution and continue the service....totally effed. FYL! I don't know how I would handle that.

That could be a good advertisement for a heavenly haircut...

I'm sorry OP but at least she died around people instead of possibly being home alone. RIP stylish grandma, Jesus would be jealous of the perm.

Omg I'm a hairdresser and we get a lot of elderly people coming in, I'm afraid of that happening to me but on the bright side now her hair will be done for the funeral.
