But surely you’ve used a mobile phone to write an sms at one point? It’s not that the phone number uses letters as such, it’s just that the letters are on the same button as the number and it’s easier to remember R-YOU-WET than 7968938.
No exuse, I’m British and I understood perfectly fine. And from the number in the bottom right corner, able to spot that 1 for longdistance/nongeographic then 888-RYO-UWET is a perfectly valid combination too.
Is this seriously the first phone number you’ve seen that includes letters instead of numbers? Heck, my own phone number is a word – the last 4 digits spell “FROG” ….
i get the fail think about it emergency flood
hmmm water everywhere already soo how can u calll them if ur dam phones dont work and how they gonna get there drive a water car sooooooooooo then the number fails cuase of its format 1 3 1 3 3 is the format when it should be 1 3 3 4 so over anylisis fail win watever
More like the red number is the company’s number, whereas the blue number was photoshopped into the picture by a thirteen-year-old trying to make a sex joke.
Isn’t it also a fail in the sense that they’re asking ‘are you wet?’ when that is the reason that someone would call them in the first place? Thus it should be some variation of ‘I am wet,’ ergo my call to you, instead.
Yes, ma’am. We received an emergency call that some pipes needed to be cleared. We’ve got the smooth shafts and clean balls to be able to handle that situation.
hes turning left… a lot of cars use the bottom brake lights as their turning signals as well. thats why theres that thin break light on the top of some cars, so you can tell the difference.
It’s not a phone FAIL, it’s a marketing WIN. It’s a phone number. People aren’t going to forget the number or what it’s for, so its a WIN. Sure, folks will snicker, but so what?
A phone fail might be 1-800 BE-SMERT for a university admissions office.
1. put your finger on your nose 2. hold your breath for 5 seconds 3. say the name of your love 4. that person will ask you out on the next Friday 5. you will have the best day tomorrow 6. if you don’t copy and paste to 2 other sites comment taker you will have bad luck and die in 2 days
all i have to say is if you ever have a flood and you need to get ahold of a restoration company i’m pretty sure you will never forget the number
1-888-r-u-wet
yes i am
lepracon
DIRTY girl, you are so bad!
And I have to say… I am the 3º and 4º so I win YEAH I WIN. I told you, one day I will be the master of he universe!

Masters of the universe don’t need friends.

“No, you will not. *goes to trunk, retrieves a weed cutter*”
will u really cut my weed 4 me?
This was a failed fail. The only thing I can get is taking wet in a sexual term, and thats just dumb.
dumb?
Just remember – get some maintenance before getting wet. It’s just polite, no?
At a minimum, one should consider some form of protection.
You are a troll and you use trolly warts for protection. Please only troll’s respond to this.
No.
For the love of God, GO AWAY.
O_O your username is really long…
Glad it wasn’t just me. This one is quite a stretch.
Guess you’re not turned on by it then. What if they also played soft music?
That would moisten my lips
sexxxxxaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!!!! all day baby!!!!
are you serious?!
the fail is that ‘r you wet’ is NOT a number. so you can’t call it.
this comment is a fail.
Are YOU serious?
Have you ever seen a phone?
Have you ever noticed all the letters on the buttons along with the numbers?
1888RYOUWET = 18887968938
Failed comment fail.
He isn’t american.
no i’m not.
ive honestly never seen a phone number in my life with letters.
thats some crazy phones you have over there.
But surely you’ve used a mobile phone to write an sms at one point? It’s not that the phone number uses letters as such, it’s just that the letters are on the same button as the number and it’s easier to remember R-YOU-WET than 7968938.
Even most home phones have them to input information with, and I know all payphones do, so they must not have ever used a phone period.
what the hell is a phone?
No exuse, I’m British and I understood perfectly fine. And from the number in the bottom right corner, able to spot that 1 for longdistance/nongeographic then 888-RYO-UWET is a perfectly valid combination too.
Failed fail, and win phone number.
so not being american automatically lands you to the conclusion i’m british then, huh?
well i am, but still.
now i think about it though:
0800 reverse
what? i made no conclusions about anyones nationality, other than that they presumably weren’t from the USA.
welcome to the internets.
Good lord.
Is this seriously the first phone number you’ve seen that includes letters instead of numbers? Heck, my own phone number is a word – the last 4 digits spell “FROG” ….
durrr…
LOL! UR Funny!
I agree. What fails worse is all this inane chatter from what can only be 7th graders…
HA! its 6th!
There is another number in the bottom right corner that does not match
*smacks forehead*
I can has customised toll-free / premium-rate / non-geographic number redirect?
first
i get the fail think about it emergency flood

G – Rated response
He’s turning into a oneway street!
Actually, he just has a breaklight out.
But that situation would have been much funnier.
Duh really? Lighten-up, sunshine! I’m just trying to workout what the workbench inside is for.
The van is a Savana…ironic?
Come on! Anybody? *crickets*
Did they wet their pants or something?
It depends
If they did, it might put a damper on things.
They do chimney work too?
i hope so
Do they float this van to your residence when you are under water?
No, they’re just asking if you’re wet.
3rd post and i am wet
4th toast and i am fat
soz not 3rd
And who cares if you’re 3rd anyway?
Apparently everything can become a fail now. What happened?? Where’s the funny stuff I used to look forward to??
It’s a fail world after all, It’s a fail world after all, it’s a fail fail world
It’s because the big phone number on the truck doesn’t match the red one in the corner. Or at least, that’s what I’m assuming is the fail.
The red number is the company’s number, whereas the blue number is the number for that specific service. Does that make sense? :/
the number for that service should normally just be an extension of the company’s number, no?
anyway this is a lame one.
More like the red number is the company’s number, whereas the blue number was photoshopped into the picture by a thirteen-year-old trying to make a sex joke.
Yes, and the same clever kid hacked into their Web site and put the phone number there too! (clickie)
emergency work number, and normal business number. try thinking about it for once people.
You’re not Funny enough to be boi.
Many companies have a local number and a toll free number. That cannot be a valid fail.
*facepalm.jpg*
crap, i fail too, that was meant to stitch into the thread further up
I wonder if that company gets the occasional prank call.
Or if people actually call thinking it offers those ‘unsavory’ services.
Discreet sex Van
Other possibilities include:
Discreet antiperspirant Van
Discreet diaper changing Van
Discreet ‘I showered but my towels were stolen!!’ …Van
Discreet “Oh crap, there’s no toilet paper!” van?
Discreet “I jizzed my pants!” van
i- ate-ate-ate -r-u- wet ?
ahem!

14th post! That’s just one over 13!
Isn’t it also a fail in the sense that they’re asking ‘are you wet?’ when that is the reason that someone would call them in the first place? Thus it should be some variation of ‘I am wet,’ ergo my call to you, instead.
…OVERANALYSIS!!
I need a 24 hour flood emergency, how much do you charge?
Is that an audition for the movie trailer?
bleh. same comment, minus the trailer part.
I need a 27 hour flood emergency yesterday! How fast can you get then?
The weatherman gave a flood warning so I am giving you 24 hours notice of my emergency
what number corresponds to the question mark?
It is a fail because he is in the left lane with his left blinker on trying to turn left on to a one way street going right.
good observation skills, mun
and his right breaklight looks broke.
(hm, that would somehow undermine your theory.. Anyway it’s clearly a fail)
Nice work, there.
Maybe they’re trying to run a porn business. You know, stereotypical like. “THANK GOD YOU TWO PLUMBERS SHOWED UP, I’M JUST SOOOOO WET!”
Yes, ma’am. We received an emergency call that some pipes needed to be cleared. We’ve got the smooth shafts and clean balls to be able to handle that situation.
Opps, my pants just fell off. Whatever shall I do?
Well these curtains look like they need hanging. How about you take care of that and I’m just going to prop up on this kitchen table.

Oh, btw- check this out!!! (clickie) It’s me!
You should add me on there.

Did she died?
Who died?
lets hope you die…
What is the weird whitish liquid oozing out from under the door on the right side? Was someone a bit wet in there?
Good question…
Which one? There were 2 questions in the original post.
Ah yes! Good point MRN. I guess I was referring to the first one.
i- ate-ate-ate -r-u- wet
ahem!
Such a cunning linguist you are.
WAORWORW!
Wettinz!
Pretty sure that’s a win!!
That’s what I was thinking. More win than fail. Heck, they may even have intended it to sound that way for attention.
Had a friend in college whose number was 597-TITS. Now THAT was win.
one break light WIN!
hes turning left… a lot of cars use the bottom brake lights as their turning signals as well. thats why theres that thin break light on the top of some cars, so you can tell the difference.
Not a lot of cars, only some U.S cars. Other nations must have an orange indicator.
i swear it WAS my little shitten brother we call him ” ten shit day”
It’s not a phone FAIL, it’s a marketing WIN. It’s a phone number. People aren’t going to forget the number or what it’s for, so its a WIN. Sure, folks will snicker, but so what?
A phone fail might be 1-800 BE-SMERT for a university admissions office.
agreed – that’s a clever marketing ploy.
hehe that’s a local company, i can’t wait to see it in person
Isn’t it a failure on the part of FailBlog that the license plate is blotted out but there are 2 phone numbers to find the people with?
Shouldn’t that be a 900 number?
comment win!
I guess this ain’t the real McCoy.
Do the McCoy’s take their drinks dry?
No, this is the real McCoy. The Hatfield’s phone number is 1-888-R-U-LOOSE.
i’m wet from the ad right next to the pic
OH!!!
…Chili’s fire-grilled quesadillas?
….SOMETIMES!
it’s a real bit*h to break a brake light – really expensive to fix.
Am I wet? No. Do you provide moisture?
Oh, and NO LEFT TURN SIGN.
No, I’m not. *jumps into lake* Now I am!
Would call that a win
I’d say, “I quit~” but no one I know is on here.
Who are these people?
*waves to SB*
Yo.
Hullo, Skwerlly! I saw a squirrel today, at Kensington Palace. Was it you?
NOPE!
I’M A SKWERL DON’T YA KNOW?
Of course. And that animal didn’t have a hat or suit, so it probably wasn’t you.
I saw one of those somewhere, it may have just been my imagination however.
haha why, yes, as a matter of fact, i am!
You’re not the first to say that, you know.
i thought the fail was the fact that there was way too many digits
If you’re overwhelmed by the number of digits, try octal, or even go all the way to binary.
I know a guy that works for that company. He also has a hat and jacket with the same thing on it.
wow thats so funny!
Hot girls doing 69 for 25 minutes straight!!

FB! A little moderation, here?
Please?
They censor B17cH and Fuc|<, But no INTERCOURSE positions?
nice use of 1337 to find a loophole in the censoring system!
Yes, very clever!
ha, that’s the Warren/Sterling Heights area code.
OMG! The Warren/Sterling Heights area code? ROTFLMAO!!
Y’know what’s even funnier? The 734 area code! Then you can say Ypsilanti!
Yeah, and my area code. If I tried hard enough, I could probably figure out where this picture was taken. But 586 covers a pretty big area.
59 and mound, near the theatre?
That’s what I thought, too–facing the racquetball (?) club, maybe?
Shouldn’t that be a 900 number?
That’s already been said.
Shouldn’t that be a 900 number
That’s already been said twice.
1. put your finger on your nose 2. hold your breath for 5 seconds 3. say the name of your love 4. that person will ask you out on the next Friday 5. you will have the best day tomorrow 6. if you don’t copy and paste to 2 other sites comment taker you will have bad luck and die in 2 days

That photo makes me wet. And I’m a dude.
/Changes shorts.
Only 12 hours before the miscellaneous spammers got wind of this thread.
Incidentally I fully advocate the use of trolling with Skype and/or phone recorders against anyone who posts a phone number in comments on FAILblog.
OHHHH, I get it, the tail light’s out!
Marketing WINNNN !!!!!!!!!!!
It’s…. actually kinda good.
S, I M
Am I the only one noticing the truck is going to turn into a one-way street?
no, and not the only one getting it wrong by failing to notice it’s actually a broken tail lamp (look at the centre roofline) either
maybe this is a taillight fail only!
I bet this is a win!
Isn’t this a win? No one who sees this picture is ever going to forget that phone number.
all i have to say is if you ever have a flood and you need to get ahold of a restoration company i’m pretty sure you will never forget the number
1-888-r-u-wet
this isn’t a fail or a win. its a plumbing company therefore r-u-wet wouldn’t be fail or win unless your immature or are very sexual.
“wet enough to fail”
hahahahaha yes i am
