Today, I worked such a long shift at Panera that when my boyfriend called later, I answered, "It's a fresh day at Panera Bread in [town], this is [name] speaking. How may I help you?" He thought it was hilarious. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I called my boyfriend during his lunch break. He started to place his order at a fast food joint, and trying to be funny, I started moaning sexily after each part of his order. I eventually realised I was on speaker when I heard snickering in the background. FML
Today, my co-worker handed me the phone and said it was my boyfriend calling, so I answered "Hello, Love!" It was my boss. FML
Today, I called one of my old coworkers to see how she was doing. My boyfriend answered the phone. FML
Today, I called my boyfriend. He answered with, "Hey, I'll call you back when this goes to commercial." FML
Today, I called my boyfriend's job to ask him a question. His co-worker answered the phone, and when I asked for my boyfriend, he assumed I was someone else. Who exactly would that someone else be? FML
Today, at my new job, I was answering the phone and said "Hello Cafe Thirty, how may I help you?" The man on the other line said "Don't you mean Old Town Cafe?" Cafe Thirty was my old job. I now work at Old Town Cafe. The man on the other line was my boss. FML
Today, my boyfriend called me over for dinner. When I walked in the door, he asked why I was here; apparently he dialed the wrong girlfriend. FML
Today, I was rushing to leave work and get home because I really had to use the bathroom. My phone rang and I thought it was my husband, so I answered by saying, "I really have to poop." Yep, not my husband. It was one of my employees, who has the same name. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's work to surprise him. When I got there, I called him on his phone to tell him to turn around. I saw him look at his phone. His co-worker next to him asked who that was. He replied, "Just this fat chick I know." FML
Today, at work, a customer called in and asked me to read off every item on our menu, along with their ingredients. I work at Jamba Juice so that's a lot of reading. After about 10 minutes of this, I found out it was actually my stupid co-worker calling from the back phone. FML

Happens to me all the time. I work in a restaurant and we have to walk around this corner between the front and the kitchen. So we yell "corner" every time we walk through it to avoid bumping into someone. I caught myself saying it out loud in a crowded grocery store.

If he thought it was so hilarious (well, it is, sorry) maybe your boyfriend should give you a back and shoulder massage to make up for it after such a long shift :)

I've done that too, except I worked at AutoZone. I worked there for so many years even 1 year after I left I kept doing it.

I have done this. I once caught myself giving the name of a place I had not worked for in years. Sometimes your brain takes over and you just have to go along for the ride.

Eh sometimes? Do I dare ask what body part is in charge usually?

You probably don't want to know.

Ugh...I know how you feel. After a while I just started answering phone calls with "NO THIS IS PATRICK." Even after years of being fired from the Krusty Krab.

I work at toysrus and have actually said to customers "welcome to Walmart, how may I help you today" with a dead serious look on my face not realizing what I said. lol

One time my friend called me after my work shift and I instinctively said "Thank you for holding, is this pickup or delivery?" It happens to the best of us OP
