Hello? Is it me you're looking for?

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I called a wrong number. Calling back the right person, I began a long story about how I'd just called the wrong number. It was the wrong number lady again. FML

Why don't you check again, and how can you make such a long story out of it? Hmm... "Jerry Lee? hi! what's up!" "Oh, you got the wrong number" "Sorry.." "Jerry Lee? heyy!" "You g-" "You would like, so not believe it, I like totally called a person who I thought was you, but wasn't you, it was like, totally the wrong number. Funny how sometimes we can type in the wrong numbers and get to different people huh?? isn't it AMAZING how these days you can just click a machine and be in contact with someone miles away?!" Tsk tsk tsk. I hate people who jump from one subject to another. Shame on you! Of course, this is probably not what happened. I still wonder how you can make a long story out of calling the wrong number, though.

OP isn't stupid just absent minded:p That's kinda cute that she let you tell a "long story" before informing you that you'd called the wrong number again xD

Just think how long the story will be once you finally get the number right !! lol

I thought I perceived what we were trying to accomplish here.

What do you mean "long story"? How long does it take to tell someone "Hey I just tried you a minute ago and got the wrong number"

There's a difference between spelling skills and typing skills...10 you suck.

#10 All he did was forget the G in intelligence? That's not as bad as some peoples spelling on here.

Ok fine you got me ^.^ yay for me only being 15 and still not knowing proper English. =D

Sorry Amanda_Cait but on your about thing I notice it says "I'm kindof a big deal." and we have spelling issues...

Today, some idiot called me and claimed it was wrong number...She then called me again the remind me she called the wrong number. FML

do you not check the numbers? compare them idiot!

I wouldn't be calling anyone an idiot... I just read your 'about you' on your profile... try proof reading, spelling checking and making sure your not missing words... also... you hate to brag! lmao

spell* lol but hey.. I never said I was smart.. just hate ppl calling others idiots!

Aussie, take your own advice. It's "you're" that you should have used, not "your". Hypocrites piss me off.

lol I never said I was smart! I just don't call anyone stupid... and I know the difference.. I just ****** up... and I'm lazy!

and one 'your' I used was correct... so you're not entirely right in correcting me... hypocrites piss me off lmao

people that correct people piss me off...

rallets 22

^ agreed. its the internet, chill out just give it a rest dude

Aussie, I didn't say you weren't smart, but you definitely imply that by using poor grammar in correcting someone else's. I'm entirely correct in correcting you. Just because you do something correctly once and incorrectly another doesn't make you any less wrong. Claiming you're lazy, however, is nothing more than a pathetic excuse. It's two extra keystrokes to use "you're" rather than "your". Drummerpro, I don't give a flying **** if you like Grammar Nazis or not. Rallets, you know exactly what I think of you. Sod off.

Being on the internet gives you no excuse to make yourself look grammatically incompetent.

1. ' 2. r 3. e o_O your move, bro. and i dont know what you think of me lol but i could care less, lmfao "sod off"

We haven't had a Grammar Nazi versus Morons epic battle in a while. This may be fun. Oh I'm sorry, would you prefer "**** off"? I'm apparently not from your neck of the woods.

It's two... the "r" is already in both words... -.-

haha wow the comments are more funnier than the actual FML.. ;)

so you're hunting grammer nazi's. I'm pretty sure you'll find plenty here.

#50 thank you very much ! Though i contribute nothing in conversation here lol.

rallets 22

but im not a grammær nazi, lol you just like to feel better about yourself. i know man, you gotta be tough somewhere :D fight on keyboard warrior good call JenL :D and please dont **** me off, not into that ;D "my neck of the woods" who are you, al roper? is that his name, anywho ehh

15 is outside. Close the door before you leave .

Oh god please save me from grammer nazi's. *prays*

rallets 22

^ im not a grammar nazi but i can see that one coming

lol that was a big typo error ! tense error !!

rallets 22

CTRL + ALT + DEL we need to get outta here!! ESC!! ESC!!!!!! ESC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol I didn't specifically correct anything... I never have, never will I did not like that she called them an idiot... simply said she should look at herself before calling anyone else stupid.. so get it bloody right! lmao just get out your bloody pitchforks already! haha cyber bullying!

Keyboard warrior...that's cute. I like it. I don't correct people as much as I used to, nor do I do it to feel better about myself. I don't do it to make people feel bad about themselves, either. Whether you choose to believe it or not, I do it to try to teach people something. No, I'm not an English teacher, but clearly people who use the incorrect "your" or who say "would of" have gone astray somewhere, and no one has bothered to correct them.

oh..haha :) I'm a little slow sometimes..lol..

rallets 22

^ maybe cause its not that big a deal? the only thing i dislike is the wrong "your" too but i dont go and throw a fit about it, i still understand what their (teehee) trying to say. yea i can see the grammar nazis are starting to die down so this site can be cool again :P and im glad you think its cute :D

lol as for the lazy comment... I'm from Australia... it's our thing to be laid back and not give a ****... but you sir (DOC) you have done my head in... you are a wanker!

i always learned australia is the place to get laid not laid back

she has a terrible 'about me'. She claims that she is a nice person but she tries to flame on people and fails.

this entire conversation is hilarious! :D

Thanks, Aussie. I've been called a lot of things here, but that's my first time being called a wanker. As for your "laid back Australian" claim, I understand that you folks can be pretty chill. I don't care if you make a mistake - everyone does. But take ownership of it and don't use laziness as an excuse. I'd love to hear some other Australians weigh in here. Zebidee, where are you?

so was it you that OP was supposed to call?

SilenceIsSilver 0

Oh I will call you. I'll call you every night.

Damn it children. Private message each other before the rest of us become sick from over exposure to you adolescent hormones.

I never knew we could pm ! i'm kinda new here with a "account"

lol idk what to say either...ive been to Canada before..

If you're using the app you won't be able to. I'm always on my phone, so I don't know if anyone has ever messaged me.

lol I didn't kno that either!...just send me a message! :)

I'm on phone and I don't see such an option either !

Than I suppose that you children will have to tone it down a little. You're making me queazy.

did you lie about your age on your profile?

Nope. I try very hard to avoid lying. That is my physical age. Mentally I'm 37.

so can you stop assuming us to be mentally 10?

Sterling, I believe that he was talking to me.

Jesus Howard Christmas, I can't wait until this entire thread gets napalmed by a mod. This isn't a dating site, people. Use PMs for personal chats.

and someone keeps deleting my comments :(

sterling it was allan. we are sorry allan :)

yeah sorry Allan.. :) we didn't mean to offend anybody.

playboyintown I sent you a message but you have to use the computer to see it...sorry if that offended anyone I'm just telling him because he is new to the site

Doc, what is your pic supposed to be?

is that what you like to do on your Saturday nights?

is what's in ur pic what YOU like to do on Saturday nights waswashere? lol

162- I do something like that on Saturday nights. Except I wear a batman mask, with a belt around my neck. I think you see where I'm going with this :)

haha once I called the wrong number cause I meant to call my sister and accidentally called the contact below her which was an older lady. and I thought it was one of her friends messing around saying I had the wrong number. oops. so sorry op. fyl.

Exactly! I don't see how this is an FML at all. Maybe a little embarassing, but not '**** my life' worthy.
