Today, I got talking to a pretty girl on the subway. Just as she was about to get off, I handed her my phone so that she could give me her number. She ran out with it. FML

Today, I was hanging out with my best friend. I have been getting explicit texts and phone calls so I just joking said to my friend, "I think someone wrote my number on a bathroom stall." At which point he said, "Sorry, I didn't think people really called those numbers." FML

Consider yourself warned

By Anonymous - 26/02/2022 16:00

Today, I was warned by a friend that unless I make more effort with my boyfriend, he'll be snapped up by someone else, and proved it by showing me text screenshots of at least three women I know who are all hoping to pounce on him when I eventually fuck it up so badly he dumps me. FML

Today, my friend told me that she gave my number to a guy I've liked for a while. I asked why and she just said "He's just going to have to tell you himself." I got hopeful and really nervous. A few hours later he calls. Turns out, he's called to try and get a date with my gay friend. FML

Feels bad man

By toobad - 02/06/2009 05:41 - United States

Today, I went to a bar with some buddies, and after trying to pick up a few girls, one of my friends got a number. When I heard the number, I said, "Sorry man, that's definitely the rejection hotline number." So many girls have given me that number, I've memorized it. FML

Today, I asked a cute guy for his number but instead he gave it to my gay friend. When my friend later called him, it turned out that he'd given him his number just to get rid of me and wasn't expecting him to call. FML

Today, my best friend jokingly blocked my number until I apply for a job. She is also supposed to be picking me up from the airport, so now I have no way to contact her to tell her what time. FML

My number was once written in a bathroom stall at a rest stop by a friend... I pity you. I know your pain.

Even though your best friend was doing it out of good, you really need to talk to her and tell her to put a stop to it. you might want to block every unknown number that calls or possibly get an entirely new number. FYL

who knows what those people will do with your number. best be getting a new one. what service provider do you have? with Verizon it appears you can change your number for free if you do it yourself online. but some companies charge regardless. AT&T support page says it charges a flat rate of $36. if your provider charged I strongly advise you talk to your friend about donating to a cause - the bests friends against creeper calls and unsolicited dick pics cause. if she denies she did anything wrong. for her next birthday in lieu of a gift just give a thank you card saying thanks for their donation. better late than never. or you can be the bigger (wo)man and just pay the fee and let it go. Maybe wait and see if any really bothers you first? however I'd personally be VERY uncomfortable with my number out there like that.. I'd change my cell # ASAP... but that's just me perhaps..

Sorry OP but your so called friend is a load that should have been swallowed People like that shouldn't be called friends

Change your number and have a serious talk with your friend about this. If she didn't give them her number too, then she shouldn't have given them yours. It's a crazy world...

Before the harassment train leaves the station I suggest you make your friend put a stop to this practice immediately.

what's the matter with all these "sympathizing friends" who think single people need urgent help? SMH

You do know it's a game two can play, right? I would ask you not to confirm your name when unknown people call on you. You could use an app like TrueCaller to screen out unknown or private numbers or calls from people you don't know. Tell your friend you have someone in your sights and you're just steeling your nerves before you make your move. Also tell her you are tempted to give her number out to random people too.
