Today, my grandma picked up the phone. It was a man asking to speak to me. Instead of giving me the phone she decides to hang up on him, thinking it was some guy trying to "get with me." It turned out to be the call I've been waiting all week for... a call from a huge company about a job offer. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got a call and was offered a position with a company that I really wanted to work for. I just had to wait a week to confirm that everything was good to go. Ten seconds after ending the call, they called back and said that they'd called the wrong person. The offer was for someone else. FML
Today, I checked my inbox and realized I got an email from a potential employer, saying they were having trouble getting a hold of me by phone. They called while my mom was using my phone to look up directions to a place, and she answered, kindly hanging up when they asked for me. FML
Today, a telemarketer called my house phone and asked for my grandpa. We were in the middle of having his wake. FML
Today, I got a text from a number I didn’t recognize saying, "Hey, cutie." Thinking it was the guy I met in a bar during a NYE party, I flirted back. Turns out, it was my grandma learning how to use her new phone. FML
Today, after being unemployed for over four months, I got a call from a company I've wanted to work for for over 2 years. After they were about to set up an interview, they called me by a different name. After correcting them, they hung up on me. Turns out they had the wrong number. FML
Today, my phone rang while I was home alone. When I picked up, all I could hear was heavy breathing. Convinced it was one of my friends playing a joke, I said loudly, "Get off the phone, you fucker, and don't call back!" It turned out it was my grandma. She had been having a stroke. FML
Today, while checking my voicemail, I noticed I had received one from a job that I've been trying to get in for months. Too bad they called two weeks ago. FML
Today, I was to have an important phone interview for a job. I got a call and everything went perfectly, and they said I was hired. Later, I found out that one of my "friends" had gotten one of his buddies to prank call me and make sure the line was engaged when the real interviewer called. FML
Today, my grandma called me to tell me that a couple of cute boys stopped by her house to borrow something. She told them all about me, and that I would be interested in them. My love life is so pathetic, even my grandmother is trying to hook me up. FML
Today, my grandmother called. She greeted me by my mother's name. When I told her it wasn't my mother, she apologized and corrected herself, but this time she addressed me as my sister. When I told her it wasn't my sister either, she said, "Sorry, wrong number" and hung up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Had an elderly aunt living with us. She was forbidden to answer the phone. Set up the same parameters with your grandma, unless she's paying the bills.

Ouch. Probably should pick up the phone yourself when waiting for important calls...

kill your grandma, she has nothing to live for anyway, when the cops come , you just say "she wanted me to help her commit suicide, so I did and she also signed here with her signature." (film her doing it). this case would fall under Euthanasia there fore you are innocent of any charge. Good luck with the job!

Who wouldn't want to live with their grandparents? Chocolate chip cookies every day man! Well, according to Mitchell Davis anyway. My grandparents are lazier then that though... They buy cookies.

I live with my grandmother and my parents. Mine picks up the phone when she's in the house [she lives in a cottage in the back].

Can I get an award? I'm in an exclusive club called "Humans". Pretty sure that deserves some trophy or medal. XD

That's pretty mean. You should respect the elderly, not degrade them.

Except in this case the grandmother's senility screwed the OP over. It might not be a big deal. If this was the same day, just call the company and apologize.

My grandma would never do that, if there was someone on the phone for me (I'm in a lot of activities) she would just say "there's someone on the phone for you!"

A huge company is going to **** you anyway, so your grandma was kinda right.
