Today, I got a call from a creditor asking for a Sarah. I told them that I'm not Sarah, nor do I know one. They then asked if she was my wife. Annoyed, I said, "Alright, when did I get a wife? I don't even remember having a girlfriend." They sniggered and hung up. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got a call from the guy I have been seeing. I wasn't him. It was his wife wondering why I have her husband's number. FML
Today, someone asked my wife if I was her father. FML
Today, I got a call from my boyfriend's wife. He's still saying he is not married. FML
Today, a woman screamed at me for five minutes, demanding to know how long I'd been having an affair with her husband. I explained for the second time that she'd dialed a wrong number. FML
Today, I had a woman accuse me of trying to steal her husband over the phone, just because I called and asked for him. I'm an interviewer. FML
Today, I got a call from an ex, demanding to know why my Facebook relationship status was set as married. I got married a few months ago, and I quietly explained this to her. My wife overheard and now thinks I've been cheating all along. FML
Today, I was waiting for my friend outside a restaurant when a man walked up and said, “You must be Sarah.” I said no to get rid of him. He apologized and walked away. Two minutes later, my friend arrived and asked why I was talking to her dad. FML
Today, a customer asked me if I was my husband's sister. A little flabbergasted, I replied, "No, I'm his wife." He went on to say, "Ah! But surely, you're related? Cousins?" FML
Today, when I woke up I checked my phone for messages, only to hear a woman screaming that I have been sleeping with her husband and that she is sending her 'people' after me. I have never met said husband. I panicked for hours, only to receive a call telling me she had dialed the wrong number. FML
Today, my phone rang with an unknown number. I answered in my professional “customer service” voice: “Hello, this is Sarah, how may I help you?” It was my mom, who immediately said, “Why are you talking like a robot? Did you get fired again?” I was on speakerphone at the grocery store checkout. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I haven't had a girlfriend yet and people say it's oh so wonderful, but all I see are people cheating on one another. (in real life too) I'm just waiting for the right girl, thats all, and I'm obviously not going to find them at my school.

See, what I do when I get calls like that is say, "Hold on, let me go get her," and then never come back to the phone.

#13 wrote this comment exactly two minutes after you wrote yours, AmethystRain, not to mention that your comment was in a thread as a reply to someone else's, so it's perfectly possible they never saw it. AND, my brother does this same thing to telemarketers. You aren't the only one who's thought of doing it.

What reply?

I rest my case. Littlemissalex, look at the replies under comment #1. You'll see what she was referring to.

Ha. You managed to humiliate yourself to a stranger on the phone (:

Those damn telemarketers, that is why I never pick up their calls.

Better way: Tell them you'll be letting your lawyer know they called, and that if they call again you'll sue for the maximum. Messing with them may make them think that you really do know. Believe me, I've had a runaround with a few agencies because somebody fraudulently used my phone number on a credit application. They don't (even if they're legally obligated to) take your word for it.

I don't have one, you don't need a girlfriend to be happy. Trust me, its better to enjoy your time alone rather than getting upset over it. I'm sure you'll find someone, I wish I could say the same though :). Also, if they call back you should pretend to be crazy or something.

Next time just hang up. You don't have to explain anything to them.

They probably thought you were about to ask them out!

You people are so mean. They're only doing their job. No need to be rude to them. Just politely say wrong number.
bloodshedblack 5
so that makes you a telemarketer right?
sourgirl101 29
No, I don't need to do that job to know how difficult it must be or to show someone respect. Like I said, they are only doing their job. Why would I purposely be nasty to them? Most likely they're taking that job because other jobs are limited. I don't get my rocks off by making others feel like dirt.

Maybe you deal with nice telemarketers, but all of the one's I get are complete assholes and simply don't understand when I tell them they have the wrong number. If you're going to be a dumbshit, I am going to get upset.

I hear you, an eye for an eye. I won't stand there to get disrespected either. But "sorry wrong number" and hanging up should do. I was speaking about the people leaving them on hold, screaming in the phone and blasting music. Why? it's not necessary. (:
