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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a cute guy came up to me and asked for my phone number. I was super excited and began to write it down when he said, "It doesn't have to be your real number, I'm not gonna call anyway." I still gave him my real 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 finally worked up the courage to ask a cute guy for his number. Once he had given me his, he asked for mine. My initial happiness was deflated when he said, "OK, now I can just block every message from you," and walked away. FML
Today, I wrote my phone number on a Post-it note and gave it to a cute girl at work. She immediately threw it away. In front of me. FML

Today, a cute girl I know in passing approached me very nervously and blushing like mad. She gave me a note with a number on it, said to call her, then ran away. When I called the number later, it was one of those rejection hotlines. What the hell? 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
Today, I worked up the courage to give a guy my number. I wrote it down on a piece of paper, tore it in half and gave it to him. Later, I noticed I'd given him the wrong, blank half. 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, I asked a very cute fireman for his number, "just in case I needed him to come to my rescue." He told me, "Yeah, sure!" and scribbled it down. After he walked away, I read his note, which read: "911". FML

I think you're dumb. You could have made him call the number and see if it was real or not. Good job. But he's dumb too, sooo.

You're better off. If he's convinced he can recognize the rejection hotline number (how often has the guy been rejected?) then he's got to have some issues.

From the sounds of it, you got played.

Why are all of you assuming that he recognises the number (or something close to it, at least) because he's some insecure person who got rejected a lot? The OP said he was cute -- maybe he just used it himself to reject girls :-P

He must have been rejected a lot if he can recognize the number... not the kind of guy you should be lookin for.

I see what you're saying #65, it DOESN'T make sense, but you're also not taking into account that there are just some people out there who think they're so much cooler than everyone else, and who find it funny to try and make other people look like fools. If he frequents FML, he's probably very proud of himself right now, and calling up his frat boy friends to come look at it. ...Had something like this happen to me in high school... Not that it wasn't obvious the way I was ranting :P
