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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

Just because he is death doesn't mean he can't enjoy music.. He can feel the vibration.

Deaf people still in some cases understand music cause they feel it. You and I hear it but they feel it and the same way usually have at least a type of music to like so not a bad question... I have a deaf cousin and 2 deaf friends... I say from experience.

Perfectly understandable. I have a family member who's deaf and it's easy to forget.

Deaf people still listen to music, well they feel it. My cousins are deaf.

So, he has a cell phone and he uses it ONLY for texting? I've never heard of a deaf person with a cell phone. I guess it happens, with Smartphones in abundance.

Really? I have a 'cell phone' that I only use for texting people. And why not? I can't be the only one who dislikes phone-calls.

I know lots of deaf people and they all have cell phones. There are services called "text relays" that you can use free of charge. It basically makes a phone call for you; you text the service the number you want to call and the name. Then they call that person and they say "go ahead" so you can text what you want the relay operator to say. The relay operator then types out what the other person says and sends it to your cell phone.

I misread that as "after a two hour long conversation, I forgot to ask what his favorite music was".
