Today, even though I’m not allowed to be on my phone while on the line at work, I texted an unknown number. My manager looked at her Apple Watch. I'd texted my manager while on the job. FML

Today, my phone rang during a meeting. I quickly silenced it, and put it in my pocket. A few minutes later, my boss’s phone rang. It was me, butt-dialing him while we were sitting in the same room. He answered and asked if I had something urgent to discuss. I did not. FML
Today, I got a text from a number I didn’t recognize that said, "I miss you." Assuming it was my mom and her new phone, I replied, "Miss you too, love you!" Turns out it was my new boss, checking to see if I’d be able to work an extra shift. Even though it was her text that was badly worded, I'm now known as the person who declared her love to the boss.

Today, a random customer at work admonished my coworker for being on her phone. During our lunch break. As he walked away, my coworker muttered, "What the fuck is his problem?" I nodded in agreement. He heard her and saw me nodding. As did our boss. Time to get written up. FML
Today, my boss rang me for the 5th time on my day off. Frustrated I pushed 'ignore' and yelled a string of obscenities at my phone. Turns out I pushed 'talk'. FML

Why would you text an unkown number, much less while you're supposed to be working and not have your phone? Also how do you not know it's your manager?

She came up to me and talked to me about it. I got a text asking me to go into work but didn’t know who exactly it was as I have two jobs

She had confronted me about it and showed me her phone. She knew I was on my phone anyways and they never enforce it anyways

She confronted me after I asked who it was. Not all managers enforce the phone rule. She even showed me her phone. All is well.

Now that you have cleared that up, can you explain why you don't have your manager's number saved to your phone? Even if you technically work under multiple managers, wouldn't you have the contact info for all of them?
