Today, I had a phone interview with my potential new boss. I was getting excited about the prospects of landing a great job. I had nailed every question the man asked me and right after he told me he'll call me tomorrow if he wants me to come in I sweetly said, "Talk to you tomorrow! Love you!" FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to a job interview. At the end of it, after I had got the job, my new manager said, “See you soon.” I then accidentally replied, “You too, love you.” FML
Today, I handed my resume in to a cafe that was hiring. I returned home and noticed a voicemail, it was one from the boss for a trial. I eagerly returned the call, showing my enthusiasm. Without thinking, I ended with "ok love you. *GASP* ah, BYE" and quickly hung up. FML
Today, I went for a lunch interview for my dream job. The interview was great and at the end, I tried to seal the deal by complimenting my future boss. I said, "You're really hardworking. Do you always work on a Saturday?" He looked at me, smiled and then wrote something down. Today's Friday. FML
Today, I was talking to my boss when I let slip, "Love you, bye," at the end of a phone call out of habit. We both paused, and then he hung up without saying a word. FML
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
Today, I had a phone call from a company I was applying to. It was going really well, until the call ended. Now since I'm so used to calling my girlfriend, I ended the call with, "Love you, bye." And if things couldn't get any worse, I started swearing to myself. The recruitment officer heard me. I forgot to hang up. FML
Today, I went to a job interview super early and giddy with enthusiasm. While waiting in the lobby, I struck up a friendly conversation with a bloke who was also waiting around in a suit. I jokingly told him, “Good luck mate, but I’m getting this job.” Turns out he was the hiring manager. FML
Today, I had an important job interview. The interviewer really seemed to like me. Instead of hiring me, he asked me out on a date. FML
Today, I was talking to my fiancé on the phone. I said, "Alright, see you in 10 minutes babe." My boss must have thought I was talking to him because he said, "Alright (my name), see you later." FML
Today, I finally got an interview with my dream company. Everything went perfectly until the interviewer asked if I had any questions. I tried to say, "What do you enjoy most about working here?" Instead, I somehow asked, "Why do you still work here?" FML

Haha, that really makes sense though, since it is mostly a reflex to say 'Love you' at the end of a phone conversation. But perhaps it'll get you brownie points? "No, no, I want to hire that one guy. He said he loves me."

Just play it off like it didn't happen. If he brings it up, or you for some odd reason feel the need to rectify the matter, just say that is was a brainfart. Instinctually, since you are almost never on the phone with people older than you with the exception of your parents, your brain triggered the ILY signal. He'll understand.

That's like something I'd do, I'm sure he'll understand it was by habit/mistake.

I know how you feel. My entire life I've been taught to tell people "I love you" once were done with a conversation via the telephone or leaving the house or something. I have these monthly Oral Exams with my teachers (over the phone -- virtual school) and I always catch myself right before I say "bye," but last week I told my history teacher "I love you." D:

I hate it when I do that xD I've done that waaaay too many times to count, considering the #1 person I talk to on the phone is my wife (at least 2-3 times a day) saying "I wuuvvv you" before I hang up the phone has become an unconscious reflex for me Needless to say, I have told me boss, co-workers, and cashiers at stores (while talking to my wife on the phone) that I love them >< OP - I LOVE YOU ; P

Today, I was reading FML's at 2:19 am. I tried not to wake my parents up, and I read this FML that made me laugh so hard I cried. When I stopped laughing, I saw my dad standing in the doorway with a belt in his hand. FML.
