Today, I was entering a guy's number into my phone, and I couldn't remember his name. Embarrassed, I tried to be sneaky and asked, "Can you spell your name for me, please?" His name is Bob. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a guy from my school came into my work. I know him but I'd forgotten his name. I didn't want to be rude and ask for his name when he probably expected me to know it, so, thinking I was clever, I said, "How do you spell your name again?" His name is Rob. FML
Today, I realized that I accidentally said my phone number wrong when I was giving it to a really smart, cute guy with all the same interests as me that I met at a bar last night. I'd had a few drinks and had gotten the middle three digits mixed up. FML
Today, I was talking to a guy I really liked, hoping that he would ask me out. Eventually he asked for my number. I was so excited that I couldn't remember it. FML
Today, I was on vacation, when a very cute guy starting talking to me and asked me what my name was. Overwhelmed and stressed out, I blurted out that I didn't have one. FML
Today, I forgot my blind date's name 3 times during our conversation. FML
Today, a cute guy came up to me and asked for my phone number. I was super excited and began to write it down when he said, "It doesn't have to be your real number, I'm not gonna call anyway." I still gave him my real number. FML
Today, while not feeling well at work, I had to finish up some papers. I was so out of it, I couldn't remember how to spell my name. I had to improvise by pronouncing each syllable of my name out loud. My boss now thinks I'm a dumbass. FML
Today, I was at my friend's house celebrating his 16th birthday. I couldn't find my phone so I asked my friend's girlfriend if I could borrow her phone to see if I could hear mine ringing. I dialed my number, only to find she had my number saved in her phone as "ASS FACE #3". FML
Today, I looked through my girlfriend's phone book and saw two entries with my name. One had "(cute)" attached to it. I checked to see if it was my number. It wasn't. FML
Today, I met a cute girl at a dance club. I entered her number in my phone just before she left the club. With a proud smile, I turned the screen towards my buddy, showing off my accomplishment. Attempting to give me a friendly pat he accidentally closed my phone. I hadn't saved the number. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Op: What's your name again? Bob: Bob Op: No, your last name? Now you would have both names and not seem as stupid. Next time try doing this method. ^_^

You should have asked "now is that spelled the same way backwards?"
rahrah765765 11
Huh? Why would you ask that? 1. She wanted to know his name - by asking "is your name spelt the same way backwards" could potential give her a yes or no response - leading her to still not know what is name is. 2. In that scenario he obviously spelt his name - thus her being embarrassed as it is a simple name. So why would she then ask him "is it the same if you spelt it backwards... It's 3 letters- it not a ******* code. 3. Uoy ekam ym niarb truh. ... Even though I just went on and on... I still kinda want to know what you meant by that?

Eh, that's not too bad. I forget names a lot so I have to use that trick a lot. The only time I was worried about the person not knowing was when they said their name was ashley. Lucky for me, it was spelled really weird so they didn't catch it. XD

You could've easily recovered by saying "no I meant your last name"
