Today, after all of the business cards for the car dealership that I work for were printed, the phone number was wrong, and the lady got so pissed about getting so many calls that she told them that they had won a free car. I had to tell dozens of ecstatic customers that they hadn't. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I'm a car salesman. I got told to cold call a list of previous customers, but I recognised the names as I phoned them all last week; I told the manager this. He slammed his fist on my desk and told me to stop lying and do as I was told. I got told to "fuck off" 27 times. FML
Today, at work, I was calling customers to tell them that they had prescriptions waiting to be picked up. It was a long list and every time I reached an answering machine I left our number so they could call us back. When I was finished, the pharmacist told me I been giving out our fax number. FML
Today, after having my car's oil changed, I asked the girl at the front desk for her number and she gave it to me, so I was excited all day. That night I texted her and she asked who it was and I told her my name, then she told me she gave her number out to a lot of customers, so she didn’t remember me. FML
Today, after being unemployed for over four months, I got a call from a company I've wanted to work for for over 2 years. After they were about to set up an interview, they called me by a different name. After correcting them, they hung up on me. Turns out they had the wrong number. FML
Today, while at work as a telemarketer, I called a customer on his home phone. Once I was connected, an automated voice said, "To speak with a customer, please press 1." Confused, I pressed one. I then heard loud laughter followed by, "Oh my god! What a dumbass!" before they hung up. FML
Today, I've gotten the most calls of my life. Turns out the idiot who changed the sign on my local Pizza Hut put up the wrong phone number. My phone number. I've already received 16 calls. FML
Today, at work, I had a customer accuse me of taking the giftcard I had issued her for her return, after spending 15 minutes trying to fix her screwed up transaction. She began to yell, and follow me around the store. Security had to intervene and I had to be locked in an office until she left. FML
Today, I took a call. Wrong number. A few seconds later, they called back and I told her that she had the wrong number. She said she just hit redial and didn't understand how she got me again. I tried to explain how redial works. She called me a moron and hung up. Then my phone rang again. FML
Today, the company I applied for called up congratulating me in getting the job. I was ecstatic. Quickly enough I texted a few mates that I'd got the job. Twenty minutes later they called again, saying the trainee had accidentally called the wrong applicant. FML
Today, I noticed that all 200 remaining business cards out of the 500 that I had made have the wrong phone number on them. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I mean I'd be pretty pissed too if I was the lady... At least she didn't take it further than that

F the woman's life. Imagine getting hundred "wrong number" calls a day - and you can't just ignore them because otherwise you'd miss the two important/personal calls you are expecting.

You should get about a thousand toy cars from the dollar store and give them to anyone that comes in for a "free car". Problem solved! Next time check the number before you print the cards!

That sucks for both you and the woman - it doesn't sound really like you did the cards wrong, but have to deal with the issue that pops up - and the woman, I hope your dealership is planning to apologize in some way, like a dinner certificate to a restaurant or gift card to compensate for her inconvenience.

You didn't verify the phone number before giving out the cards? That is all on you.

When you noticed the number being wrong didn't you take note that when it's given out should be its incorrect and then write the correct number on the back or something?
