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.

I've done the same thing many times where I work. it's even worse when running a different department.

Why is this even on FML? It's not a big deal, most people who have worked a job that includes answering the phone has done this. During high school and college, I can't tell you how many times I would answer my cell or my parents' phone, "Thank you for calling T.J. Maxx (town name.) How may I help you?"

I worked two jobs at one point, and when I was at my second job (an accessory store), I would sometimes slip and greet customers, "Welcome to Walgreens!"

I know how that is. I work at Starbucks and we answer the phone, "thank you for calling Starbucks in [town] this is [name] how can I help you?" And when we go into our back room, it's a curtain so we never know if someone is right there when we go back there so we have to yell "I'm coming through!" So we don't run into anyone

That's ok... Literally an hour or so ago, I did something similar, due to being sleep deprived and basically harassed into extra hours of work. I called for a taxi and a co-worker was talking to me while I was on the phone. normally that wouldn't have been an issue, but this time I asked for a taxi to Burger King and was so exhausted that after saying "Burger King" I automatically said "What can I get for you tonight?" followed by several minutes of laughter when I realized my mistake. My co-worker asked me if I was drunk...
