Today, I called customer service for my phone. We talked for a while and the man was very nice to me. Too nice. Right before hanging up, he said, “Have a good day ma’am!” He was flirting the whole time and I didn’t realize it, and he didn’t that I’m a guy. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was on the phone to a guy I really like from work. We'd been talking for about 2 minutes, when he said he was getting another call, and put me on hold. I was so excited to be on the phone with him, it took me a whole 15 minutes to realise he had actually just hung up on me. FML
Today, I was stopped by a customer who told me that I looked like a nice woman. I thanked him for the compliment and pointed out that I was a man. With an obviously male name on my name tag. And visible facial hair. FML
Today, I was flirting with a guy and we ended up having a deep conversation through text. We were talking all our problems, and saying really sweet things to each other. I THOUGHT he was going to say something else really sweet and cute. He linked me to Suicide Hotline instead. FML
Today, a cute guy asked for my phone number and I gladly gave it to him. I was feeling really good about myself for getting hit on by the star football player. That was until he called 8 times and left 5 messages. In 2 hours. FML
Today, I was working at my job as a cashier, checking out an elderly woman's groceries. She was very nice, and we chatted for a couple minutes. Once she had paid, she leaned close to me and said, very politely, "I'm so so sorry that I mistook you for a girl at first, young man." I AM a girl. FML
Today, I was working at the mall as the girl that stands around giving out samples of the foods. This guy came up to me and we were flirting for at least 30 minutes. With the tray in one hand, I gave him my cell to put his number in it. He ran away with my phone. 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, while working at my call center, I took a phone call. The guy on the other line just yelled "FUCK YOU!" twice at the top of his lungs before hanging up on me. But of course, the phone agent is always at fault. FML
Today, I was talking to a nice guy on a dating app and we exchanged numbers. Later, I got a call. It was his wife asking me to stop talking to her husband. FML
Today, while I was working customer support, a lady hung up on me mid-sentence, and I trailed off, saying, "…aaannnddd you hung up on me like a bitch." Turned out she was still on the line and had just accidentally hit mute. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Take it as a compliment. I'm straight but if a gay person was finding me attractive or if a guy on the phone found me attractive by accident, I'd be happy cause it makes me feel less ugly. I know it's awkward but it feels good to know being loved is possible 😂

My voice didn’t change much when I was a teen (guy) and it was not uncommon for a stranger on the phone to assume I was my mom. I bought an inexpensive tape recorder and the first time I listen to my own voice as a teen I was horrified! My first reaction was that I should never talk again! But then after a while I got used to my own voice and came to accept it. I never developed that idealized “Johnny Cash” sort of voice, but nobody seems to confuse my voice now with a female one. If your voice genuinely bothers you, try frequently singing along with a musician who’s voice you admire. I think that eventually helps. It’s not an attempt to become a great singer but an attempt to train the sound of your voice.

the ending part is confusing

The OP is saying he didn’t realize the guy was flirting with him and that that the guy flirting with him didn’t realize that OP was a guy either

Yeah that's all good, but the man thought this guy was a ma'am. Which makes it awkward, not "oh wrong sexuality" xD

What kind of customer service doesn't ask any information to confirm the customer identity before any further questions? That's weird.

"First name?" "Alex." "What's the problem, Alex?" "Computer doesn't work." Must be a woman!
