Today, I was texting a guy that one of my friends told me about. She gave me his number and told me about how he was deaf. Three hours into great conversation I forgot and asked him what his favorite music was. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I asked my crush what music he was into, misheard his answer because of background noise, so I spent 5 minutes enthusiastically talking about a band he'd never heard of, thinking we were bonding. When he finally stopped me and clarified, I laughed too loudly out of shame, then knocked over my drink. FML
Today, I was so desperate for human interaction that I asked a deaf girl in my class if she liked music. I actually signed it to her. FML
Today, I was sitting on the train when some crazy man started talking to me. I ignored him, and he tapped on my shoulder. He started blabbing and I just pointed to my ears and mouthed, "I'm deaf." He stopped talking. A minute later my phone rang and I answered it without thinking. FML
Today, I realized the guy I like is not deaf. This would normally be good news. However, for the past two weeks I assumed he was deaf after seeing him use sign language. I've been openly talking about him within earshot. FML
Today, I was texting this guy that I really liked. Things were going pretty well. I got a call from his number and excitedly answered it. It was his girlfriend asking if he was bothering me because he likes to text random people when he's drunk. 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 had a hour long conversation with someone I apparently was friends with a few years ago. I couldn't remember who he was for the life of me, so I just played along. Finally, I told him I didn't remember him. He had the wrong number. I had a long conversation with a wrong number. FML
Today, I had a video call with a couple of old friends, but the conversation sort of got boring, so I started mouthing words so they'd think the connection was bad and end the awkwardness. Then, as soon as they hung up the call, I realized I'd left my music on in the background the whole time. FML
Today, I was talking online to this guy, and everything was great. He then sent a voice message and his accent was a deal breaker. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Deaf people can still appreciate music too, they can feel the vibrations, and the difference in the bass. Hopefully asking that didn't make the conversation deadpan to were you couldn't save it. Edit:6 and 7 beat me to it. -.-

29, where does "you're" come into play?
moop256 10
Sorry goW chick but 29 had posted that long before you
GoW_Chick 15
It wasn't on here when I was commenting, but it then was there when I posted, I gave him credit when I saw his was there first, so what's the problem here? Do I need to bow down and kiss FattyLumpTard's feet to make everyone happy?
CinnamonBunny 16
No, but you do need to work on your sense of humour.
GoW_Chick 15
My sense of humor is just fine, but thanks for the advice friend. :)

It's for number 26!

Who cares who said it, 26? It's hardly a unique 'idea'.

So much rage :'(

Deaf people can still enjoy music through the beat and read lyrics. Some great musicians are deaf. They also don't have to listen to the shitty lyrics that go along with a good beat!

NO WAY! That is crazy that deaf people can hear the beat.

I agree how can a deaf person hear the beat of a song but cant read the lyrics?
cysanleigh 13
"feeling the beat" fail on my part

Uh, the deaf can still create, feel and appreciate music. Motzart anyone? The moment must've been awkward tho. For example, once I was talking to my blind best guy friend. We were debating whether or not to buy this dress for another friend. When we confirmed that she actually liked the dress I said "You SEE what I mean?" Yes, I know I know you can do a facepalm.

Beethoven wasn't born deaf.. He lost his hearing later on as he became older and ill.

Thank you 58(:, and to the person who said Rebecca black: Dude. Really? That is so unnecessary. You commented that in an earlier post. Get more originality and a better sense of humor....

What did he say back? He could just say anything trending currently and you would have never realized what you did.

Tim tebow can cure deafiness
heyred 11
He probably has "heard" that before - pun not intended, but people can forget about their disability. Move on.

Well hey it shows you were comfortable with having a conversation with him instead of feeling weird about it. It's easy to slip up when you're not talking directly to him, and who knows? He could be the type to like music. Some deaf people can pick up the vibrations.

Imagine the look on your face if he immediately responds back rap and how he listens to it all day
