Dead Funny Valentine

Dead Funny Valentine

When Lena Mortimer, a sharp-tongued stand-up comedian who’s made a career mocking romance, inherits a decrepit Victorian mansion in a sleepy coastal town, she thinks it’ll make the perfect writing retreat — and cheap housing. What she doesn’t expect is that her new home is haunted by the ghost of her great-great-grandfather’s fiancée, a Victorian socialite who died mysteriously before her wedding. But this ghost isn’t alone. The house seems alive — lights flicker in rhythm with laughter, and Lena begins hearing heckles from invisible voices during her rehearsals. Things get worse when she discovers her new neighbor, Dr. Eli Graves, a reclusive mortician with a PhD in parapsychology, who seems to know too much about her family’s dark history. When Lena accidentally performs stand-up in front of a room full of spirits (who think she’s hilarious), she’s plunged into a supernatural love triangle: Eli, the living man she’s falling for despite her cynicism — and Julian, the sarcastic, charming ghost haunting her bedroom mirror. As romance and horror collide, Lena must uncover the century-old curse binding the spirits to the mansion before it claims her as its next victim. But the deeper she digs, the more she realizes: the curse might not be about death at all — it’s about love gone wrong… and laughter might be the only thing that can break it. A darkly funny, romantic, and chilling ride through heartbreak, hauntings, and hysterics — Dead Funny Valentine is where The Haunting of Hill House meets Notting Hill.

Retail story funny stories: Share some interesting retail stories.
In a grocery store, there was a little boy. He was following his mom around. When they got to the fruit section, the boy saw a big watermelon. He thought it was a big ball and tried to roll it down the aisle. His mom was shocked at first but then started laughing. The store clerks also had a good laugh seeing the boy's innocent act.

Retail story funny stories: What are some funny things that can happen in a retail environment?
Well, sometimes employees might accidentally mix up the prices tags. For example, a very expensive item might end up with a really low - price tag. When the customer comes to pay, the cashier is really confused. That can be quite funny.

Share some funny retail Christmas stories.
At a Christmas sale, a customer came in looking for a 'biggest Christmas tree ever'. When the salesperson showed him the largest tree they had, which was about 8 feet tall, the customer said it was too small. He then described his idea of a 'biggest tree' which was something like a 20 - foot - tall behemoth that would touch the sky. It was quite a laughable exchange.

Can you share some funny retail stories?
There was this grocery store incident. An old lady was looking for a very specific brand of tea. She asked the cashier if they had it. The cashier said no. Then the old lady started looking in the cashier's drawer thinking it might be there. The cashier was so shocked but couldn't stop laughing. And in a bookshop, a man thought he could use a bookshelf as a ladder to reach a book on a high shelf. Needless to say, he ended up knocking down several books.

Can you share some funny retail sales stories?
Sure. One time, a customer came into the store asking for a left - handed screwdriver. The salesperson was confused for a moment, then realized the customer just meant a regular screwdriver as there's no such thing as a truly left - handed screwdriver. It was quite hilarious.

Can you share some funny retail customer stories?
Sure. One time a customer came into the store looking for a 'left - handed' hammer. When I told him hammers are not left - or right - handed, he insisted that he could only use a left - handed one. Another time, a lady tried to return a pair of shoes that were clearly worn out, saying they were defective from the start, but she had actually hiked a mountain in them.

What are some memorable funny dumb customer stories in the retail industry?
At a shoe store, a customer tried on a pair of shoes and then asked if they came with 'built - in feet'. I just stared at them for a second before realizing they were joking. But it was still a really strange thing to say. If it was a serious question, it would be quite dumb.

What are the most interesting funny retail Christmas stories you know?
There was this one store where they had a special offer on Christmas sweaters. A customer came in, tried on a really ugly Christmas sweater with a huge reindeer on it, and then started doing a little dance in the fitting room, saying it made him feel like a 'Christmas disco king'. The staff couldn't stop laughing.
