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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at work, my phone rang. My intern answered it and told me it was a coworker who'd just left. I picked up and said "What's up bitch? What are you going to complain about now?!" It was actually my boss. FML
Today, I called one of my old coworkers to see how she was doing. My boyfriend answered the phone. FML
Today, sleeping in a little late, I was woken up by my phone. Still tired, I quickly checked the display to realize it was my girlfriend calling. I pick up the phone saying, "Hey baby girl!" She seemed pretty startled, so I double-checked and realized it was my new boss, who has the name as my girlfriend. FML
Today, I called my boyfriend's job to ask him a question. His co-worker answered the phone, and when I asked for my boyfriend, he assumed I was someone else. Who exactly would that someone else be? FML
Today, I accidentally said, "Bye, love you," to a co-worker as I clocked out. Before I made it home, I had six missed calls and a long text from my co-worker professing her love to me. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's work to surprise him. When I got there, I called him on his phone to tell him to turn around. I saw him look at his phone. His co-worker next to him asked who that was. He replied, "Just this fat chick I know." FML
Today, my boss phoned me and asked me why I wasn't at work. I was in the staff room. I'd said hello to her as I came in the door. FML
Today, while sitting on the toilet, my phone pocket dialed my boss's cell. He was in the next stall. He answered. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. My boss called me into her office and congratulated me, and spent almost half an hour asking me what our wedding plans were, where we might honeymoon, if we wanted kids, etc. She then followed this by suddenly remembering she had called me into the office to sack me. FML
Today, I was rushing to leave work and get home because I really had to use the bathroom. My phone rang and I thought it was my husband, so I answered by saying, "I really have to poop." Yep, not my husband. It was one of my employees, who has the same name. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I agree, of all the things you could say to a stranger picking up he phone, love is pretty easy to play off as something you call everyone

True. In some parts of Britain, everyone is 'love'. Make your boss feel bad for not being as cultured as you. :)

After 2 years of working with him, I'm not even sure if our boss knows any of the girls names, he calls us all love

Hopefully your boss was cool with it...maybe disguise it as an inside joke that you have with someone else.

I don't think your boss would be so uptight not to find that amusing or funny. You didn't do anything malicious either so make a quick explanation and the rest will be history/inside joke between you two

That's super funny. Hopefully your boss has a good sense of humour. I've accidentally called my bosses 'mom' or 'dad' on occasion. They just laughed, and I still call them that sometimes to make them smile.

I remember one time in second grade I accidentally called my teacher mom as we were really close, and I thought my life was over. She just laughed it off.
