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

OP here! Thanks for the support and all. The cardmember was actually really understanding about it. I immediately apologized, but he was really cool. Could have been a bad situation furshur. I'm glad he wasn't a grumpy old man!

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

You have no right to even joke about a customers private life, very poor professional practice. YDI BIG TIME

YDI. I also work in a call center for car dealerships. Your job is to be professional. Joking around is okay with some customers, but you shouldn't be the first to start it. Watch what you say next time.
