Love: Today, the phone rang so I went to answer it. No one was there....

Today, the phone rang so I went to answer it. No one was there. A minute later the phone rang again and no one answered so I assumed it was a telemarketer or a prank so I started swearing uncontrollably in rage. Turns out it was my crush calling to ask me out, but she was too nervous to ask. FML

Today, I gathered the courage to ask my crush on a date. As I called her, she quickly answered and said "Can't talk right now, I'm in a movie theater." and then hung up. I'd called her home phone. FML

You freak!

Today, I called this girl I've had a crush on for 2 years to confess my love to her. However, as she picked up the phone, I got so nervous that I froze and couldn't say a word. I was standing there, breathing heavily for 20 seconds. She got so freaked out that she threatened to call the police. FML

Today, I got a call from the girl I like. I got very excited so I quickly picked up. As it turns out, she was actually prank calling me, pretending to be a "liposuction telemarketer" but forgot to press *67. FML

Today, I saw my crush standing at the bus stop. I did the "I'm talking to someone on the phone thing," trying to be cool. Halfway through the conversation my phone actually rang, I quickly answered but it was my mom on loudspeaker yelling, "Did you bring your tampons?" FML

Today, my co-worker handed me the phone and said it was my boyfriend calling, so I answered "Hello, Love!" It was my boss. FML

Today, I got a call from this girl I really like. Surprised, as I never get anything other than a text from her, I answered. All I heard were rustling sounds. She had pocket dialed me. 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

Am I the asshole?

Today, I fucked up when I answered a phone call. I wasn't sure who the number was at first, and it turned out to be my ex girlfriend who had apparently been stalking me. She asked me how my new girlfriend was, and as I answered it in front of my girlfriend, she's now depressed. FML

Classic blunder

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

Ever heard of call screening? To #1, you knew it's annoying, yet you did it anyway? We can SEE the #1, there's no need to say it.

If you have an uncontrollable temper like that, it's no wonder she was nervous to talk to you.

I wouldn't say you deserved it, your crush kind of did. Calling someone and then hanging up multiple times is creepy and annoying. I would have done the same thing if I were you.

Wow - you're a jerk, aren't you? Obviously the girl wasn't trying to be creepy, and it was HIS CRUSH, so there was nothing creepy about her calling his house multiple times. She was just nervous and couldn't work up the courage to talk. She doesn't deserve to get screamed at because of it. Jesus Christ, give her a break.

At first, I didn't see the part about you swearing so I was like, "why is that so bad?" And then when I saw it I really felt bad for u man... I hope you still can ask her out!

telemarketers are people too. they hate getting calls too. they just have to do it because it's their job and that's how they support themselves and/or their family. I hope she doesn't go out with you because you're a jerk.

I know how you feel man. I get those blank calls too. To all the people being down on him. I don't know if everywhere has this but in Canada we get no answer calls used by telemarketing agents to map when we are home
