Today, I met a really cute guy at work. He asked for my number, and I wrote it down on a piece of paper. After looking at the paper, he crumpled it up, yelled "Do you think I'm stupid? I know the rejection hotline when I see it", and walked away. It was my real phone number. FML

Today, a cute guy came up to me and asked for my phone number. I was super excited and began to write it down when he said, "It doesn't have to be your real number, I'm not gonna call anyway." I still gave him my real number. FML

Today, while in class, a cute boy came up and asked me for my number. I giggled and wrote my phone number on a piece of paper and told him to call me sometime. He gave me a weird look and walked away. He was asking which number math problem I needed help with. FML

Today, I finally worked up the courage to ask a cute guy for his number. Once he had given me his, he asked for mine. My initial happiness was deflated when he said, "OK, now I can just block every message from you," and walked away. FML

Today, I wrote my phone number on a Post-it note and gave it to a cute girl at work. She immediately threw it away. In front of me. FML

Today, I went to a club with a couple of my friends. I met a really cute guy and we were getting along pretty well. We eventually exchanged numbers. Later on I decided to call him and set up a date. The number he gave me was the Rejection Hotline number. FML

Today, a cute girl I know in passing approached me very nervously and blushing like mad. She gave me a note with a number on it, said to call her, then ran away. When I called the number later, it was one of those rejection hotlines. What the hell? FML

Today, I spoke to my crush for the first time, and after a while he asked for my number. Ecstatic, I took the first piece of paper I saw out of my purse. I wrote it down and gave it to him, but he handed it back and said, "You might need this." It was an appointment card for my therapist. FML

Today, I worked up the courage to give a guy my number. I wrote it down on a piece of paper, tore it in half and gave it to him. Later, I noticed I'd given him the wrong, blank half. 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

Today, I asked a very cute fireman for his number, "just in case I needed him to come to my rescue." He told me, "Yeah, sure!" and scribbled it down. After he walked away, I read his note, which read: "911". FML

You should've picked up the work phone, dialed the number you wrote down and showed him your cell phone as it rang. lol

I'm split on this one. If he really thought it was the rejection hotline, then he's a dumb jackass. However, I find it hard to believe he really thought it was the rejection hotline. If he truly yelled it out loud, especially in a crowd, then I think he might just have been screwing with you to get a laugh. If I saw that happening in a public place, I probably would have laughed, and then commented about what a bitch you were. Maybe he has ulterior motives for his behavior? So if he thought it was the rejection hotline, he's a dumbass. If he was just goofing, it's kinda funny. It makes him a jerk, but a funny one!

someone has a serious lack of confidence, sheet even if i thought it was the rejection hotline i would have called just to see which rejection it was.

maybe he was just playing with you. he probably didn't want your number anyways and just pretended that your number was the rejection hotline LOL.

Today, I asked a cute girl for her phone number. I looked at the paper and thought it was the rejection hotline and I yelled at her and walked away. Turns out it wasn't. FML.
