Today, I learned it's not a good idea to answer your phone with "F*** off!" just because you're having a bad day. It could just be your pastor on the other end. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, the phone kept ringing but there was only silence on the other line. The third time I yelled, "What the fuck is your F*ing problem asshole!? Get a life shithead!" and hung up. Then the pastor's wife called and explained that she mistakingly set her phone on mute. FML
Today, my boss yelled at me, telling me that I can't answer the phone anymore. Not because I do a bad job, but because a co-worker whined about it being her job. People call her and complain about how rude she is and then ask to talk to me. FML
Today, while at my job at a Christian summer camp, I overheard one of the kids swearing. I politely said, "Please, only speak as Jesus would." He paused for a moment and replied, "Go to hell." FML
Today, my boss rang me for the 5th time on my day off. Frustrated I pushed 'ignore' and yelled a string of obscenities at my phone. Turns out I pushed 'talk'. 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 answered a call at work from a very irate gentleman. After being shouted and sworn at profusely, I ended the call in a slightly less than civil manner. Turns out that guy is one of our company's biggest clients. FML
Today, my boss called me, furious about how I "never answer my phone", especially when important clients are trying to reach me, and how unprofessional I am. I make very sure to never miss any calls, my boss just keeps giving out the wrong number to people. FML
Today, at work, I was helping a customer over the phone. Another customer came and asked me a question. I let them know I'd be with them shortly. They then said "I really think you should hang up. The customer is always first." FML
Today, I blurted out “Love you, bye!” at the end of a professional phone call. There was a long pause before he replied, “Uh… thank you for your help?” My coworkers heard everything. I'm now scared of my work phone ringing. FML
Today, my mom didn’t answer the phone when I called. My husband promptly said, with a straight face, “Would you answer you?” FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

to everyone asking why a pastor would call someone, a few examples: (I'm sure there are more) -leading up to my wedding, I talked to the pastor who performed the ceremony on the phone several times, making plans for pre-marital counseling, and the rehearsal, etc. (pastors tend to do counseling for other things too, so I'm sure they'd call about that) -when I moved and starting going to a new church, the pastor called after I signed in as a guest to see how my experience was and if I had any questions, and to invite me back OP- YDI for saying that to any unknown caller.

religious people, hypocrites for 2000 years plus!

because clearly, the fact this "religious" person (the fact she's swearing into the phone without knowing who it is suggests she's not really) is a hypocrite means all of them are? Sure. I guess I might just go round saying "Muslims, terrorists for 1500 years plus!"

YDI. Not for screaming obscenities into the phone, but for having not just a pastor, but a pastor that calls you for some bizarre reason.

what, are pastors not allowed to use phones? Are they not allowed to talk to other people? Geez. How about you look at how a church operates sometime - it's a bunch of people who generally get along pretty well. I don't know everybody at my church, but it's definitely not weird for one of the church leaders, even the main minister, to call me.
