Sounds like he didn’t make a judgement based on appearance, and neither of you knew each other as well as you should have.

That being said, it’s really nice to see an actual fuck up here, something that’s actually worth reading. Thanks for sharing and better luck with the next beau!

Did you say anything? If not, play dumb, say your friend called and told you they called, but you didn't get a call/have no idea what happened. I used to have a job on the phone all day. People call while on the toilet, and we'd hear their business, the flush, hand washing (if they weren't nasty), etc... hated it! Call them, give them an excuse, they'll tell themselves what they heard is not what they think they heard and everybody will be happy.

Two things you could do. As someone else mentioned above say it was some sort of issue with your phone because it has been acting very strange lately. Or, just tell them the truth lmao. Say you have been getting repeating spam calls and decided enough was enough and that you were sick of it so you started messing with them. Honesty, even in really awkward situations like that can go a surprisingly long way. You can laugh it off with them, show them that you can act professional and I’m sure they would appreciate that. Then it can be something you laugh over hopefully without getting some sort of nickname (I.e. thunderguts or something like that) but honestly if you want to keep pursuing a job there I think an honest explanation or if you want a good excuse about your phone acting could be a good way to keep moving forward. Never give up keep pursuing if that’s what you want to do. I think being honest would be the best course though because it’s honestly hilarious and if you can be serious at work and do funny shit like that out of work those are the best kinds of people.

She could've realized its a bad moment, try calling back and apologize, if they take the apology you'll have a little more intimate relationship with them:) Or get a new phone number, send it to your friend and act like they got the wrong number in the first place. Sounds like you need a new number, indeed.

Don't feel too bad, I was using tea tree oil shampoo after recommendation for itchy scalp and couldn't figure out what was eviscerating the skin above my eyes/eyelids. Went to a regular dermatologist who referred me to a fancy allergy dermatologist who took one look and knew exactly what the issue was. Stopped the shampoo. Never needed any fancy creams or allergy treatments after months of suffering. Felt like such an idiot. Lol
