Come again?

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, at work I asked a cute, albeit slightly large customer, her name. Being hard of hearing, I thought she said "Porky" and asked her about it. Turns out she'd said Courtney. FML

Why wouldn't you just say "sorry, I didn't catch that. Can you repeat your name"? I guess you don't go far with the ladies

Being hard of hearing you should have said EXCUSE ME? The fact that you thought porky was ok says a lot about YOU.

Well, not really. My mom is almost completely deaf and she'll hear random things like that too. She'll often ask "Did you say...." and say some really random stuff that makes no sense whatsoever which could have been the case here. Or he could have asked "Why do they call you Porky? Did you watch Porky Pig a lot as a kid or cook the best pork chops?" Doesn't mean he was rude and said "So, they call you porky since you're fat, right?"

I see what you're saying, despite my comment I think op is actually a stand up guy. Hopefully he sees her again or was able to explain. :)

I think y'all are missing the point to his comment. He means for him to think porky was okay and to not make sure, expesialy sense he's hard of hearing, was saying something about his character, not that he's hard of hearing is what says something about his character

"What's that? You say your name is Porky?" The second time you ask their name, you become a deaf idiot to them.

are you the vegan person that had your mouth wathering from the smell of meat? If you are, find help or start eating meat again. Your cravings are getting out of hand.

Stacia is right. Those dentists are a kinky bunch -- squeeze bottom for best results. Everytime I try that, I get slapped in the face! Not the best result:(

Wow, way to put your foot in your mouth. Come on dude, do you REALLY think "Porky" is a nickname that women want to use? If you're hard of hearing and you couldn't quite hear what someone said, then ask to repeat their name instead of sounding such a dumbass. YDI

It's pretty hard to hit on a fat chick and not be in her book of pointless sex options. You somehow managed to do just that. Try going to McDonalds and buy her a Oreo McFlurry, 14 McDoubles and a 50 piece chicken nugget, she'll forget all about it and put you back on the list.
