Today, I went out with my friend and her boyfriend. Not knowing him very well, I accidentally called him by her ex’s name. He took that as a sign she was still seeing the ex and dumped her on the spot. She’s now not speaking to me for ruining her life. I’m just bad with names. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went on a blind date set up by a friend. Everything was going great until I accidentally called my date by my ex’s name. Twice. My date promptly excused herself to the restroom and never came back. FML
Today, I accidentally called my friend by the wrong name. She's no longer speaking to me, because she thinks I have absolutely zero respect for her, and don’t care about her at all. In reality, she just looks exactly like the person whose name I called her by. FML
Today, my boyfriend of a couple of weeks mixed up my name with his ex-wife's name. After he said it, he looked at me and said, "You knew it was going to happen." FML
Today, after convincing my now ex-girlfriend that I wasn’t cheating on her with a girl from work the other day, I accidentally called her by her name. They both start with “M”. Hello, single life. FML
Today, my boyfriend referred me to me as "just a friend" to his ex. They swapped phone numbers. FML
Today, my boyfriend was introducing me to some business partners. As he was going along telling me their names, when he introduced me, he called me by my best friend's name. FML
Today, I found out that the girl my boyfriend says is "just a good old friend" is actually an "ex that got away." FML
Today, I ran into my ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend at a grocery store. We haven't seen each other since we broke up a few months ago, and when he introduced me, he called me by the wrong name. We dated for three years. FML
Today, I messed up again. Every time I like a girl, something goes wrong, either because of me or my friend. She was supposed to hang out with us, but she brought a friend who’s my friend’s ex, and he wouldn’t go with her. I had to choose, and I chose my friend over an uncertain relationship. FML
Today, my fiancée’s siblings kept calling me by her ex-boyfriend’s name. FML

You did her favour, if he is that insecure that isn't great for a relationship.

I suck at names. I have accepted this. So I don’t call people by their names. Ever

You deserved that one. Accidents with names just should not happen. Don’t say the name if you aren’t sure.

Sorry man, not buying it. My mom does the same and I'm not going to sit here and say accidents don't happen. Look around the site.

How can anyone say a thing like 'accidents should not happen'? They do. That is why they are called accidents.

Right, because not once have you never called anyone or anything by the incorrect name. Think back, a book title, a game name, a movie, a character, a pet, a family member, a friend, you’ve gotten them all 100%? You sure? Photographic memory maybe? Phonetic memory? How about you take your perfect never made an accident ass and go **** yourself with a painful stick. Cause you’re just ******* rude and definitely hypocritical and this is in no way a satirical comment on the situation, so don’t even try using that as a defense.

My dad dated this total PSYCHO. My dad chose my name when I was born, and called me by that name for 23 years until he first started dating her. I am now 32 and they have broken up for the third time. For almost 10years he has called me by her name, and I ******* hate the bitch as does the rest of the family, so being called by that name seriously makes my blood boil. Her name is Michelle, mine is Ricarla, so they are not even close, we don’t even look Similar etc. Dad knows how I feel about being called by her name and yet he genuinely has issues with names, and there are plenty of other people out there with similar issues.

Me, too. This is why everyone is "Bud," "Dude," "Chief" or "You."

lmao bruv, I'm sorry, but if the dude doesn't feel secure enough in his relationship, he didn't deserve it. if he really was something special... at least you ruined someone's life 😂

Don't feel bad OP, I also am terrible with names. I have literally blanked on a person's name for weeks. I can't stand it but I can't fix my brains refusal to cooperate on remembering names.
