Today, I was on the phone to a guy I really like from work. We'd been talking for about 2 minutes, when he said he was getting another call, and put me on hold. I was so excited to be on the phone with him, it took me a whole 15 minutes to realise he had actually just hung up on me. FML

Today, I was video chatting my boyfriend. As we were talking, he answered a phone call. I sat there the whole time as he planned a date with some other girl over the phone. FML

Hold the line

Today, I discovered that my work's new phone system automatically takes people off hold the very second you pick up the phone. I discovered this after picking up the phone and complaining to my workmates about the annoying customer I had on the line for a full minute, all while he listened. FML

Classic switcheroo

By Anonymous - 05/01/2021 11:01

Today, I had a movie date planned with a guy. After a polite exchange, we were interrupted by a phone call from his colleague saying they had an emergency that needed his attention. He excused himself to take the call, telling me he wouldn't be long. He drove off and blocked my number the moment he stepped out. FML

Today, my boyfriend was talking to me on the land line when his cell phone rang. He told me to wait "two seconds" while he talked to a classmate. Their "two second" conversation lasted ten minutes, and now I can hear the French Open on the TV in background. He forgot he was talking to me. FML

Today, I called my phone company to get some answers about my phone bill. I was okay with being put on hold. In fact, I was on hold for so long, that the music stopped playing. When someone finally answered they told me to call back tomorrow. All my phones disconnected an hour later. FML

Today, I called the guy I've liked for a long time and told him how I felt. He didn't say anything except for "hello." After I spilled my feelings, I hear "Haha, just kidding I'm not here right now! Call me back later!" FML

Classic blunder

By Anonymous - 28/10/2022 16:00

Today, I had a phone call from a company I was applying to. It was going really well, until the call ended. Now since I'm so used to calling my girlfriend, I ended the call with, "Love you, bye." And if things couldn't get any worse, I started swearing to myself. The recruitment officer heard me. I forgot to hang up. FML

Today, I was on the toilet, when the girl I really like decided to call. I'd left my cellphone in my room and my dad answered. All he said was, "He's taking a shit. This might take a while." and hung up. FML

Slipping

Today, I called one of my coworkers to ask him where he was, because I needed him to come downstairs. After 2 minutes of yelling on the phone to come downstairs, I realized I'd called the wrong person, and was actually on the phone with my ex-boyfriend, who took me 6 months to get over. FML

Today, I was talking to my boss when I let slip, "Love you, bye," at the end of a phone call out of habit. We both paused, and then he hung up without saying a word. FML

Wouldn't you hear the disconnect tone after he hung up? Maybe he just had a really long call?

How hard up are you? Let me guess, you called him! Ladies, never call a guy first, let him call you so you don't look desperate!!

Ladies: This rule applies to alpha males (The good looking athletic guy who is confident to the point of arrogance). Nice guys (the ones you claim to prefer despite the fact that you actually keep going for the alpha) love it when you call first. Pick your taste (and be honest with yourself) and act accordingly. Granted if he's just not into you in the first place, calling won't work... ever.

This fml is fake. she would hear the disconnect tone after ten seconds. who agrees?

Not necessarily, some phones disconnect themselves when the other hang up. But there's always some kind of tone or bip or something, before completely cut off, isn't there ?

Lolfish, you seem like a nice lady, so I'll go easy on you. Don't ******* accuse the FML of being ******* fake unless you have some good goddamned proof that it's fake, like if you were the asshole on the other end who ******* hung up. Or if you're some creepy fuckface who is tapping her phone line. Or if your name is Alexander Graham ******* Bell. I'm glad we had this little talk.

You should probably figure out what happened before telling him off, because maybe there was an emergency or something. I've read a lot of FMLs about people doing stuff like that before knowing what really happened.
