Today, I met a really cute guy at work. He asked for my number, and I wrote it down on a piece of paper. After looking at the paper, he crumpled it up, yelled "Do you think I'm stupid? I know the rejection hotline when I see it", and walked away. It was my real phone number. FML

Today, while in class, a cute boy came up and asked me for my number. I giggled and wrote my phone number on a piece of paper and told him to call me sometime. He gave me a weird look and walked away. He was asking which number math problem I needed help with. FML

Today, I spoke to my crush for the first time, and after a while he asked for my number. Ecstatic, I took the first piece of paper I saw out of my purse. I wrote it down and gave it to him, but he handed it back and said, "You might need this." It was an appointment card for my therapist. FML

Normally I'd say to speak up but this time I agree with all those that say you may have gotten lucky on that one. Next time you want to exchange numbers just call their cell and have them save it.

How often does he get rejected if ( he thinks) he knows the rejection hotline at one glance?

If someone was walking away, would you really call after them to explain? @ OP: that suuuucks! Like everyone else said, though: you may have just gotten lucky.

I guess this explains the strange phone calls you have been receiving.

What makes this an FML is the phrase "guy at work."

Is it just me, or does the rejection hotline seem like the most passive aggressive way to reject someone ever created?
