Today, I got back from vacation and realised I still had the motel key. The key-ring has the address on it, so you can post it back to them. I drove to the postbox and posted the key. I then discovered that the motel key won't start my car. FML

Today, I locked my keys in my car. I had a spare key in my wallet, that I also left in the car. FML

Today, on the way to work, I pulled over at a postbox to post a letter. I walked up to the box with the letter in one hand, car key in the other. Guess which one I posted. FML

Today, I rented a car that has a smart key. The proximity of the key determines if the doors will unlock. I went to a meeting and returned to the car with the trunk popped open and all my luggage gone. The rental company decided to store a spare key in the glovebox for safe keeping. FML

Today, I found a note on the front door of my flat saying, "You left your keys in your garage door so I put them in your letter box". Guess where my letter box key is. FML

Today, after locking myself out of my house, I let myself into my car to wait on someone with a spare key. It took me 15 minutes to realise the house and car key share the same ring. FML

Today, the little bell in my car that lets you know your keys are still in your ignition went out. How did I find out? I locked myself out of both my house and my car. FML

Today, I locked my keys in my truck. The good news is that I have a spare set in my house. The bad news is that my house key is on the same keyring as my locked-in truck key. FML

Today, I locked my keys in the car while the car was running because I got out to get the parking ticket attached to my windshield. FML

Today, I returned home to find the key to my mailbox missing. I called the post office and was informed that a new key will cost me $15. I have no money, and my paycheck is in the mailbox. FML

Today, I was looking for my condo keys, thinking I had left them in my mailbox on the first floor the night before. Leaving to check, I realized I'd forgot to take them out of my door when I had come in, leaving them in the keyhole. FML

Why are you on FML? You should be outside, by the postbox.

the address of the motel is attached to the ROOM key and not your CAR key so your CAR KEY will never pull up anywhere but the local lost&found especially small hotels/motels/bed&breakfasts do NOT have keycard systems

guys, calm down! every single one of these FML's was preventable, there stupid mistakes made by the writer or someone the writer knew - thats what makes them funny! there is no point in posting on these things telling them how to act next time, they didn't post up here to be lectured

Ok. Seriously. If you haven't ever been to New Zealand, don't comment on the use of keys instead of key cards. I've never ever been to a motel, not overseas, that doesn't use keys. Anyway. Bummer, dude.

That totally sucks for you. Hope you got the keys back!! Or called AA and got them to break into the car for you... (AA in NZ is the Automobile Association, not to be confused with Alcoholics Anon, just in case any foreigners are wondering :p) And yes, NZ motels do often use keys.
