Today, an old friend of mine texted me, saying we should hang out. I thought it was really sweet and was excited to see her again, until she realized that she was texting the wrong person, and canceled our plans immediately. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I made plans with an old friend that I haven't seen in years. We agreed to meet at a diner and I told him I'd be standing outside. I watched him pull up, look right at me, then do something with his phone. Seconds later, I got a text saying, "Sorry, but I'm busy today and can't make it." FML
Today, I was going to hang out with the girl I like, because she was leaving for the rest of the Summer. She had to cancel to go shopping with her grandma "all day." At 1 o'clock, she came online and told me how much fun she had with this guy I really don't like. She forgot that she lied to me. FML
Today, I pretended to not be able to go out with a friend so I could hang with my boyfriend at the movies. When I sat down I received a text that said, "Turn around." It was her. FML
Today, I got a text from an old hook up. I assumed it was a mistake, since we hadn’t spoken in years. She replied that her fiancé just dumped her after finding our old chat log. The last message was 10 years ago, and apparently she has become a prude since then, so now I’m a homewrecker. FML
Today, I texted my friend’s mom, asking if she could send over my hoodie that I left at their house. Except I didn’t text her, I texted my ex’s mom, who said, “You should probably stop texting me. She’s engaged now.” FML
Today, I texted a friend who I met some years ago. I had been asking her for months when she wanted to get together. Each time she said how she was basically too busy. Today was different, she said she was glad for the friendship but her daughter is busier now with new things, and doesn't want to get together. FML
Today, I sent a text to the girl I like, asking if she wanted to "hang out." Autocorrect changed it to "hand out," and she responded by asking what I was handing out. I panicked and replied, "My love." Now she thinks I'm a weirdo. 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
Today, an old friend that I never really liked invited me to lunch while she was in town. While driving back to her car, I couldn't find my phone, so she offered to call it. She found it under the passenger seat and also saw that when she called, her name came up as "Sabrina-IGNORE". FML
Today, I received a text from my girlfriend in which she broke up with me. I was upset, but one minute later another text from her said, "Sorry, wrong person." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well I guess you haven't seen her in a while for a reason then.

I don't think the "friend" would care too much...

Time to delete her from your contacts!

Not much of a friend, then.

Maybe in a couple weeks you could try to meet up with her? If you were excited to see her, then maybe you putting in the effort to initiate/plan might bet you some time with your old friend. If not, then don't worry; it's not worth your time fretting about it.

Why? The friend clearly wasn't actually interested in spending time with OP, and hasn't been for a significant amount of time. OP shouldn't waste their time!!
PharmacyJoe 13
It's not like Op made any effort to meet up with this friend, either. By the FML it appears that OP hasn't talked with this person in a while; so by this logic, isn't the friend in the right too for deciding not to hang with someone who shows them no interest on a regular basis?

You can write how much you value that friendship and then write "oh wrong number".

Well that's not super passive aggressive at all.

Well I guess the friend was honest,right?

Maybe it is time to let that "friendship" die. They are not worth the time.

Sorry op that sucks. Don't give that person the time of day.

Yes that does really suck! But if it had been a while and you yourself haven't contacted her either, the relationship is down to become acquaintances. It's not bad, people just move on! Try again in a week or so, and if nothing comes of it she's moved on too! Friendship is a two-way street. (I'm sorry, it is harder if you're shy or an introvert!)

Something similar happened to me :/ I learned the hard way that it's best to let these people go. It can be tempting, especially looking back at memories - but people change and it's not worth chasing after what you used to have.
