Today, I had a hour long conversation with someone I apparently was friends with a few years ago. I couldn't remember who he was for the life of me, so I just played along. Finally, I told him I didn't remember him. He had the wrong number. I had a long conversation with a wrong number. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, a girl called me, asking for one of her friends. She wouldn't believe me when I told her she had the wrong number, and I spent a few minutes convincing her she did. After a while she said, "What the fuck?" and hung up. That was the longest conversation I had with a girl in months. FML
Today, I realized how lonely I am when someone called my number by mistake and I talked with them for 5 minutes. I don’t know who she was, but I'm so lonely I was happy to have someone engage in a conversation, even if it was about her calling the wrong number. 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, 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, I realized that I accidentally said my phone number wrong when I was giving it to a really smart, cute guy with all the same interests as me that I met at a bar last night. I'd had a few drinks and had gotten the middle three digits mixed up. FML
Today, I had misplaced my cell phone. I decided the best course of action would be to dial the number from my house phone and wait for it to ring to locate it. Somebody answered when I called. It wasn't the wrong number and I had a brief conversation with the man that stole my phone. FML
Today, a woman screamed at me for five minutes, demanding to know how long I'd been having an affair with her husband. I explained for the second time that she'd dialed a wrong number. FML
Today, I was texting a guy that one of my friends told me about. She gave me his number and told me about how he was deaf. Three hours into great conversation I forgot and asked him what his favorite music was. FML
Today, I was talking to a guy I really liked, hoping that he would ask me out. Eventually he asked for my number. I was so excited that I couldn't remember it. FML
Today, the person I've been sharing my most intimate feelings with finally got bored and let me know I've been texting the wrong number for weeks. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Maybe it's serendipity? Maybe you just made a new friend? Or maybe you just wasted an hour of your life. Meh

I've called someone and they had the same name as the person I was actually trying to call. We talked for a while before I realised I had the wrong number.

I did the same thing once, except it was via MSN and we both 'knew' each other - it lasted for weeks and wasn't until I started mentioning the names of other people did he, and then I, realize that I'm not the Alex he knew, and he's not the Jason I knew.

I think I'd be more pissed if I was the other person.. "Today, I looked up one of my good buddies from high school and called him up. We spent an hour talking until the asshole told me it was a wrong number. Fml."

Hey, if you're a girl, this is totally a good thing. Get married and have kids. Even if you aren't, doesn't seem like much of an FML. You two must have had some chemistry to talk for AN HOUR.

exactly. someone called me and the same thing happened, but they found out I wasn't who they were trying to call in like 5 minutes. I wouldn't have been able to keep the conversation going for a whole hour.

Uh, #8... You should probably keep that to yourself. That's a bit creepy.

I think that's nice but still if you're gonna get mad to the point of writing an FML about how you wasted an hour, you should've been straight with them in the first place.
