This is a very clever little riddle, I've heard it also stated like this:
The man who makes it, doesn't make it for himself, the man who buys is doesn't want it, the man who uses it doesn't know he's using it.
Although this is a slightly more sexist version, I suppose you could substitite 'man' for 'person'.
The ANSWER to the riddle is a COFFIN:
The maker of the coffin makes it for others, the person who buys it most likely chooses it for someone else and the person who uses it is most likely dead, so they don't know that they are using it.
Some other fun riddles might include:
Name three consecutive days that don't include Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday!
Which five letter would sound the same if you remove the last four letters from it?
