  1. Jules ♂ ♪ © says:

    Sexy!

    • MRN ♂ says:

      DON’T say it!

      • Nope! It’s legit! I looked it up on Peter’s website. HA!
        .
        *squeeze*

        • fluffy says:

          Peter’s website is all pixels.

        • Jules ♂ ♪ © says:

          I can just |magine a guy telling his friends; “yeah I was hitting on Gaye Males last night.”

          • Someone Nicer than Jenny says:

            I went out for drinks last night with Gaye Males.

          • Elsa_Mama says:

            That reminds me of when i was watch the PBR (bull riding — yes i like to watch bull riding) and one of the bulls was named “My Wife” …..

            • Elsa_Mama says:

              Announcer … “and here comes My Wife, I wonder if she will get ridden tonight!” ummm, hmmm …

              • Brewski says:

                Hi Elsa!
                How did the marrow transplant go?

                • Elsa_Mama says:

                  He is not getting it. He had another relapse and they cannot do a transplant when there is active Leukemia. There is actually no traditional treatment that can be used for him now. He is not strong enough for any more chemo and his Leukemia is resistant to radiation. He was discharged from the hospital into Hospice.
                  BUT – he is now undergoing a new antibiotic treatment. This treatment is not tested or approved. I only know about it becasue my law firm wrote the patent application for the doctor that developed it. It has only been used on one other person. It helped with the Leukemia, but that person (64 years old) dies of a viral infection.
                  The antibiotic is commonly available — it is used for drug resistant TB. If it is going to work we will know in the next week.
                  I have been on the suckiest rollercoaster the past 10 days – but being an optimistic person — and understanding the science — I am very hopeful.

                  My brave boy told me yesterday – either way is OK, whether he gets to stay here or goes to heaven – both will be good, in different ways.

                  He is at his Dad’s — long story — 14 year old boys want their Dad and this arrangement causes less drama… but I see him lots and lots. So, sorry for the serious post, but pray pray pray for the success of a new Leukemia treatment. If it works it will save more than just Matt’s life!

          • remi says:

            either way, he’s gay.

    • MRN ♂ says:

      Actual name – clickie for her pic!

      • KatzVonD- vegan extraordinaire is depressed. says:

        Damn! I thought this “L” was hers.
        *tosses L on pile with other lost letters*

      • fluffy says:

        She looks nothing like Gaye Males.

      • Clint Oris says:

        She looks like a pleasant Soccer mom. Maybe she should consider a nickname.

      • Elsa_Mama says:

        she prolly says her last name is pronounced Mal-es with a short “a” … not that anyone looking at her signs would know that… Name change time for sure! Must be a married name — do you really think her parents named her that?

        • Avis says:

          I really think parents would do that to a child. Cruel, or incredibly imbecilic parents, but parents nonetheless.

        • Starfish says:

          You would think that parents wouldn’t be that cruel or oblivious, but I used to work at an online pharmacy that had a database of 300,000 names and you wouldn’t believe how many Richard Heads and Michael Hunts there are. I found just about every “joke” name in the book and they were all legit.

          • Ms B ♥ says:

            One of my best friends in high school dated a real jerk with the last name of head. We started calling him Richard (not really his first name) just to let him know what we thought of him. Unfortunately another friend later married the Dick and is now unable to afford the necessary divorce.

            • Starfish says:

              That sucks for your friend. If we fail to learn from other people’s mistakes, we are forced to learn from our own (I totally stole that from somewhere).

              • ZombieApocalypse says:

                That’s deep – this coming from someone who lives six feet underground!

                • Brewski says:

                  Hey Zombie, now that we’re both famous, we’ll have to work on the whole a**hole celebrity thing. Personally, I’m going to practice throwing my cell phone at waiters and hotel clerks. How about you?

        • chez says:

          Better question, what would it take for her to marry into that name?

  2. grannycatflap says:

    I’d like to bank his coldwell

  3. Jules ♂ ♪ © says:

    This is not really the quality of fail we are use too. There are plenty of good fails on the voting page. Why this one was chosen I don’t know. Unless it is a green grass fail.

  4. Blue2thFairy says:

    That’s Gaye, I know him.

  5. mmmmm, have seen distinctly worse…..and funnier.

  6. The Moomin says:

    It’s a tribute to the BMW win. The big huge sign towers ove the teeny little sign.

  7. Ms B ♥ says:

    Some parents are so mean!

  8. archie says:

    “Hello, Peter Benninger Realty? I’d like to talk to Gaye Males…”

  9. KatzVonD- vegan extraordinaire ♀ says:

    Junior high must have been a real joy for her, poor girl. :sad:

  10. Whaaaatttt says:

    Not there is anything wrong with that…

  11. Jon says:

    Legendary porn star Harry Reems is now a Century 21 broker in some small town in Utah. If I ever happened to see a “For Sale” sign with his name on it, I would NOT be able to resist the urgeto steal it.

  12. k says:

    hey! is this from kitchener ontario? im from the area and it looks familiar!!

    • Kev says:

      You’re right, it is.
      My wife and I just bought a house and we’ve been laughing at her name for a couple months now.

      Yep, we’ve seen Gaye Males popping up all over town.

    • SamuraiSmurfette says:

      Yup. For sure. She’s been a realtor here for ages.

  13. Steve says:

    I’ve actually seen this person before! :O

    When we were looking for a house, we looked at one that she was selling! The name still makes me laugh after three years…:P

  14. Marjorie says:

    I once knew a rather elderly woman named Gaye Barr. Barr was her married name, so it was a complete accident, and to be honest I’m not sure she even realized it was funny!

  15. Brewski says:

    *Brewski flies by in fail-copter*
    *drops squeezes to all failpeeps*
    *flies back to work*
    She looks proud to be Gaye.

  16. Duroc says:

    Promiscous fail

  17. Someone Nicer than Jenny says:

    This wasn’t happening 20 years ago…

  18. Fiat Knox says:

    I’d call that a win for Gaye.

    Even more fun to see her off in the evening after a long day’s work with a cheerful “Bye, males!”

  19. mazda-mechanic says:

    uh maybe its said different then how it looks

  20. Judy is going to see Jeff Dunham this evening! says:

    GRRRR!!!
    Is anyone else having problems with being redirected to other sites while on failblog? It’s starting to drive me crazy!!!

  21. Aja says:

    Broker in the rear?

  22. jeepers says:

    yeah, it’s for real. Gaye is a realtor in Kitchener, Ontario

    http://www.coldwellbankerpbr.com/agents.aspx?agentid=AD58-000899

  23. Vladimir says:

    I am not seeing the funny fail on this one??? Id it becuase Peter is reality??? or that coldwell banker is some funny name in this country, like the cockney riming slangs, coldwell banker is a wanker???

  24. Bob says:

    Doesn’t this broker have a middle name?? Or is the “rememberability” (no pun intended) of this name an advantage in this line of work?

  25. KatzVonD- vegan extraordinaire ♀ says:

    Okay, real life name fails: :grin:

    I actually knew a Mike Hunt

    I had a teacher named Mr. Bates who taught drama and told us to call him Master

    And there used to be a mortage company ad on local radio with a man named Harry Glands.

  26. Frimmy says:

    Hah! I used to live in the same city with that agent…I totally got used to her name and never thought anything about it until now.

  27. dfgdfghdfg says:

    This is f*ckin shoped!!!!!!

  28. Emma says:

    I’m too lazy to look through the posts to see if this was mentioned before, but this poor realitor was mentioned somewhere in the TV Tropes page of unfortunate names.
    http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/TroperTales/UnfortunateNames
    They’re all pretty failtastic.

  29. slatfatf says:

    lol lol lol

    banker lol, sounds like wanker, lol. i dont get it.

  30. Tracy says:

    So whats wrong with brokering Gaye Males? ^0^~

  31. Andrea says:

    This is infact real, from the Kitchener Ontario Canada area. I’ve lived here for over a decade and my father always pointed out “Gaye Males” in the real estate booklets hanging around and laughed, it’s been a local joke for ages :)

    • T says:

      Hah! Good to see someone else from the region on the big wide internets. Gaye Males has been a joke in our household for years and years. It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling to see her name on the failblog.

    • Nicole says:

      Hey awesome! I live in Kitchener-Waterloo too

  32. Foxwolf says:

    i know a relitore by the name of mary jane stoner..

  33. mxman says:

    That realtor could be one of many of the regulars on here

  34. kittea says:

    Gaye Males isnt part of Coldwell Banker anymore

  35. Mia says:

    aww, i think they should have blocked out their number. i work as a receptionist for a realtor firm. receptionists are the last people to blame for funny names but that’s who’ll get calls.

  36. Jim says:

    I bet his/her SO is “Les Beans”.

  37. Andrew says:

    Gaye Males was our real estate agent. Seriously. She’s a very good agent with an unfortunate name. Then again I’ll never forget it, which makes it easy to refer her when the subject of real estate agents comes up.

  38. SarahKalia says:

    I know a guy. His name is “DICK COCK”… no seriously…
    o___O

  39. Sarah says:

    OMG!!! That’s my town!!! We make fun of her signs all the time!! LOL!!

  40. Jenny Frell says:

    I have one of these signs on my street, no joke. 0_0 I was gonna take a picture, lol.
