Today, I had a woman accuse me of trying to steal her husband over the phone, just because I called and asked for him. I'm an interviewer. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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 got a call from the guy I have been seeing. I wasn't him. It was his wife wondering why I have her husband's number. FML
Today, I was talking to a nice guy on a dating app and we exchanged numbers. Later, I got a call. It was his wife asking me to stop talking to her husband. FML
Today, I called the company with whom I had a job interview last week, which I thought went great, but hadn't heard back from. One of the interviewers claimed that I tried to grope her. FML
Today, I told my wife I had a huge Zoom interview and could not be disturbed under any circumstances. Nevertheless, she called her mom, got into a screaming argument the interviewer could clearly hear, then came into my office to cry on my shoulder. She doesn't understand why I'm furious with her. FML
Today, an interviewer rang me back, but not to offer me the job. It was to warn me that if my psychotic mother rang him at his home address again trying to bribe and threaten him into giving me the job, then he would call the police and press charges for harassment. FML
Today, a woman came knocking on my door. Not to sell something or to chat, no. To punch me in the mouth. Apparently, I stole her husband and I'm a homewrecker. We don't have a clue who she is. My husband and I have been married for 5 years, and were high school sweethearts. FML
Today, I was accused of being a "racist whore" at work. I'd only asked a man if he needed help finding anything, as that is part of my job. FML
Today, when I woke up I checked my phone for messages, only to hear a woman screaming that I have been sleeping with her husband and that she is sending her 'people' after me. I have never met said husband. I panicked for hours, only to receive a call telling me she had dialed the wrong number. FML
Today, I was standing in a queue when an old lady turned, looked straight at me, and asked me to hold her bag. Confused, I took a hold of it. She started screaming for help claiming I was stealing her shopping. Turns out, she was talking to her husband behind me. FML

I feel sorry for the guy. Wonder if she's like this all the time? "YOU WERE SERVED BY A FEMALE CASHIER! THAT HUSSY IS GOING TO STEAL YOU FROM ME!!!" "YOU SMILED POLITELY AT A FELLOW DOG WALKER WHO HAPPENED TO HAVE TWO X CHROMOSONES! YOU DON'T LOVE ME ANY MORE!!!" "A WOMAN CALLED AN AMBULANCE FOR YOU AFTER YOU BROKE YOUR ANKLE! YOU'RE CHEATING ON ME WITH HER, AREN'T YOU?! DON'T LIE TO ME!!!" OK, I may be exaggerating. But FY and his L, OP.

Sympathy from a fellow phone surveyor here! I haven't had that happen to me, but I have had angry moms yell at me for waking up their kids, and one guy preached at me for a half-hour in a really unhinged voice...

I worked at a call center and women acted like this all the time. "Can I speak to John?" "No one speaks to my husband, but me!" Yikes.
