[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 711137, member: 1233"] Jess works in a funeral home. She loves it. She works up front doing basic office work and handling families during visitations and occasionally standing by memorial books at funerals. Last weekend she was working and a young 20ish guy came in and just wanted to 'look around'. This isn't as unusual a request as you would think, apparently. But this guy seemed sketchy in spite of his nice shirt and dress pants. He kept looking over his shoulder. Then she caught him trying to sneak back into the prep rooms where they actually embalm people! She was the only person there and he was not happy to be asked to leave. She told him that legally she was not allowed to let him back there, and if he went into the hallway she would be forced to call the police. He had to leave the premises immediately. She was laughing about it because by the time he left he looked like he was going to pee his pants. She apparently convinced him it was a felony to go back there without permission. She is pretty sure it was a fraternity prank of some sort (probably right - it is about that time, fraternity pranks are a total PITA in this town.) and she decided to totally mess with his head so he would leave and she wouldn't have to deal with him again. She did leave a note for the person on the next shift just in case. I think most people would just make them leave. Only one of my children would mess back with them. I am so proud. Last night she had a visitation. The family of the older man had a 5 year old. He was sure the man was a vampire and was going to eat him. The man hated him. The boy set his christmas tree on fire because if it was pretty with lights, it would be prettier on fire. So the kid was positive that the man would come back as a vampire and eat him first. Jess thought this little boy was about the cutest thing ever. The boy had an older brother who kept teasing him. Jess finally pulled the boy aside and told him that the man would totally eat his brother first because his brother was not only closer to the man, but also a larger source of food. This completely made the little boy's night. And made the parents laugh like crazy. [/QUOTE]
