Today, I had a hour long conversation with someone I apparently was friends with a few years ago. I couldn't remember who he was for the life of me, so I just played along. Finally, I told him I didn't remember him. He had the wrong number. I had a long conversation with a wrong number. FML

Today, a girl called me, asking for one of her friends. She wouldn't believe me when I told her she had the wrong number, and I spent a few minutes convincing her she did. After a while she said, "What the fuck?" and hung up. That was the longest conversation I had with a girl in months. FML

Lonely, so lonely

Today, I realized how lonely I am when someone called my number by mistake and I talked with them for 5 minutes. I don’t know who she was, but I'm so lonely I was happy to have someone engage in a conversation, even if it was about her calling the wrong number. FML

Today, I took a call. Wrong number. A few seconds later, they called back and I told her that she had the wrong number. She said she just hit redial and didn't understand how she got me again. I tried to explain how redial works. She called me a moron and hung up. Then my phone rang again. FML

Today, after being unemployed for over four months, I got a call from a company I've wanted to work for for over 2 years. After they were about to set up an interview, they called me by a different name. After correcting them, they hung up on me. Turns out they had the wrong number. FML

Booze confused

Today, I realized that I accidentally said my phone number wrong when I was giving it to a really smart, cute guy with all the same interests as me that I met at a bar last night. I'd had a few drinks and had gotten the middle three digits mixed up. FML

Today, I had misplaced my cell phone. I decided the best course of action would be to dial the number from my house phone and wait for it to ring to locate it. Somebody answered when I called. It wasn't the wrong number and I had a brief conversation with the man that stole my phone. FML

Today, a woman screamed at me for five minutes, demanding to know how long I'd been having an affair with her husband. I explained for the second time that she'd dialed a wrong number. FML

Today, I was texting a guy that one of my friends told me about. She gave me his number and told me about how he was deaf. Three hours into great conversation I forgot and asked him what his favorite music was. FML

Today, I was talking to a guy I really liked, hoping that he would ask me out. Eventually he asked for my number. I was so excited that I couldn't remember it. FML

Maybe it's serendipity? Maybe you just made a new friend? Or maybe you just wasted an hour of your life. Meh

Oh please, for all who say YDI, are you dissing the author because she tried to be polite? I am a very social person, so people I "don't know" approach me often, and I also have the same awkward conversation. To the author, how is this a FML? You made a new friend, and, even if you didn't, you were polite about it all the way.

A woman I know is now best friends with someone who called her as a wrong number. If it was an enjoyable conversation, then you could have just said you didn't remember him, but would like to meet for coffee sometime or something.

I wouldn't say this is an FML at all. If anything you have an amusing anecdote at least. At best you have a new friend. If this person was annoyed or offended who cares, it's not somebody you'll be likely to see or hear from again. I've had a similar thing happen when a stranger texted me by mistake. The conversation went on longer than it would have as I happened to have the same first name as the guy she was trying to get hold of. It was a confusing but funny conversation.
