Today, I asked out this girl at work who I've had a crush on for a while. She looked oddly familiar, aside from the fact that we worked together. It was almost like we'd met outside of work. Two hours and one Snapchat story later, I realized I'd asked out my best friend's girlfriend. FML

Today, a guy who I was low-key crushing on asked me out. I excitedly told my best friend, as I do when I have big news. She informed me that the same guy asked her out 15 minutes ago. He'd originally been into her and only came to me because she rejected him. FML
Today, the girl I like asked me to take over her shift at the place we both work at. Being nice, I readily took over. Later, I found out she went on a date with my best friend. He knows I like her. FML
Today, I wanted to ask out this cute girl I used to work with. Before I could, she said she likes my only friend there, and asked if could I set them up. Trying to be nice guy and good friend, I did. Then she made her complete lack of interest in me obvious. But hey, at least the gay guy she hung out with thought I was cute. FML
Today, I realized the extent of my crush on one of my employees when I found myself cropping our picture out of the staff photo to see what we would look like as a couple. FML
Today, I finally worked up enough courage to ask out the guy I've had a crush on for months. I texted him, and he thought I was Maddy from work, not Maddie his neighbor. Now he and the Maddy from his work are dating. FML
Today, after what I thought was several weeks of flirting with a coworker, I asked her out on a date. She asked if it could be a double date, and I said yes. I brought a friend, she brought her husband. FML
Today, I was going to ask out a girl I work with, only to find out that not only is she in a relationship, she’s also a lesbian. FML
Today, I asked my crush out, after a year of liking her. What did she do? She laughed, took a screenshot of it, and sent it to her friend. FML
Today, I finally got enough courage to ask out this girl that I've liked for a year. While we were out at lunch, she ran into her ex that she had just broken up with. They then had a long conversation about their relationship, and ended up getting back together. She was my ride home. FML
Today, I noticed my crush of almost 3 years was talking to me a lot more at school. He seemed genuinely comfortable around me, even playing with my rings during class. I thought maybe I had a chance. Nope. A mutual friend just told me he likes another girl. A girl who coincidentally looks just like me but skinnier. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm guessing and hoping she said no?

Wow that is awkward... Though, understandable if you've either never met her or only met her a few times (or have absolutely trash facial recognition like I do). Best to just fess up now, before things get blown out of proportion.

I don't think your best friend is going to buy that story. I bird-dogged your girlfriend because...I FORGOT...she was your girlfriend. Steve Martin gave us the solution to everything!

How do you get them having sex from OP asking her out? "Man that was a great lunch. Oh look, it's time to have sex on the table." I'm no expert on these 'spontaneous sex lunches' but I don't believe that's how that works.

Bird-dog doesn't necessarily mean sex.

17, a bird dog, in this case, refers to someone who has stolen another person's girlfriend/boyfriend.

Honestly, if my best friend started dating someone I work with (or if their SO got a job where I work), I think I'd know about it pretty quickly. How were you not aware that your best friend was dating someone you work with?

That's what I'm saying! And it's a little odd that OP and the coworker haven't talked enough to figure that out. If I think I know a coworker from a past experience I always ask.

Sure they are/were your 'Best' friend? Seems like you should've known

How can you not remember how your best friends girlfriend look and sound when you have met them in other settings before?

I'm just wondering how toy didn't know your "best friend's" girl friend.

Unless they haven't been dating for very long, how do you not recognize your best friend's girlfriend; especially when you work with her?
