Today, my car keys are in my house and my house keys are in my car, and I'm in neither. FML

Same thing different taste
Today, I locked my keys in my car. I had a spare key in my wallet, that I also left in the car. FML
Mass effect
Today, my auto-repairman told me my heavy mass of keys was bad for the ignition switch and suggested I separate my house and car keys. I began to carry my car keys and lock the house keys in my glovebox. My car was stolen. I now have car keys but no car and a house with no house key. FML
Today, I locked myself out of my car. While walking home to retrieve the spare, I realized I locked my house keys inside the house this morning. Now I must decide whether to break into my house or 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 went through my purse to see where my keys were. I found my house keys, but not my car keys, so I freaked out. When I remembered that I was driving, I felt stupid. FML
Today, I locked my keys in my car. My spare keys are 45 minutes away in my dorm room. My dorm room keys are attached to my car keys locked in my car. Security said they would let me in as long as I had my school ID. It's on my keychain. FML
Today, I dropped my keys in the sewer. The spare ones are inside my locked car. 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, I couldn't get to work because I couldn't find my car keys. It turns out, my mother took them and put them "somewhere safe." She can't remember where they are. FML
Today, I locked my keys in my car. Good thing I went to Lowe's to make spares, which are also now locked in the car. FML

How does one **** up that badly?

I guess all you can do is try to get in whichever one that will cause the least amount of damage to break into:/

#34: desperate for comment views? I feel let down. It wasn't a very moving comment. Overall comment rating 2/10.

This is what spare keys are for! Invest in a 'hide-a-key' for under your car and for on your deck somewhere. Maybe inside a planter? Comes in handy lots.

How does that even happen?

54, it took the same amount of energy to use the incorrect "y" in spelling "shit" as it would have to correctly spell it. Why?

The problem being that then you are relying on security through obscurity.

I think I'm the only one who thinks OP was drunk, mixed up the house keys for car keys and proceeded to lock the front door as he went to the car, and upon realizing he had the wrong keys, proceeded to press the car lock down when he got out and left them on the seat... I can understand that. On my first deployment I had a bag full of uniforms that I was going to take and a bag full of civilian clothes to be mailed for when I got situated at the new site, which would have been 3 weeks later. Guess which bag I forgot...
BlueRainDude 11
Yea I was thinking the same thing. How do you even manage this...? Did OP walk out of his house with his car keys and then proceed to unlock the car and throw the house keys inside before relocking it for whatever reason before deciding to chuck his car keys up in the air so that they'd fall perfectly into the chimney and into the house? Finally he must have suddenly realized... wow what the hell did I just do? "Wait... I needed those keys. Hahah silly me, better post an fml about this absurdly unlikely situation."

Very carefully

The only way I can see this happening is if OP gave his housemate a ride home and they entered with the housemate's keys, leaving OP's keys inside the car. Ambient's theory could also work I guess, if OP's house door autolocks and he had left his car unlocked.
Ambient25 24
House door autolocks? You can lock a door without the key dude...
uzkebasi 7
That's what I'm saying... It automatically locks.
illegalbeagle69 23
Or... you turn the lock from the inside and shut the door.

I don't live in America, I'm French like OP, and I haven't seen a door lock like that here- but how the house door locks is irrelevant. My point is that for Ambient's theory to work, OP's car would have had to be unlocked for him to get in and leave his house keys on the seat. I find it more likely that he locked his car and entered the house with someone, rather than leaving his car unlocked, getting drunk and deciding to drunk drive, mixing up his keys, and manually locking the car door behind him when getting out.

Simple, With car keys in hand OP locks the house keys in the car he then goes in side for whatever reason and puts his car keys down while in there, then on his way out he manually locks the door and closes it, thus locking him self out of both house and car. This is why I have a spare car key cut and kept in my wallet (one that opens the door but wont start the car)

Actually, I live in America and I also have yet to see a lock that can be locked from the inside. I would need a key to lock it from the outside. Thus making this situation, almost impossible.

It takes real skill to pull that off, OP.
Arrow44 10
Haha but the way this is worded is just perfect
Soniye 14
It also takes skill to pick your lock ;D
Robbieisadowg 16
It also takes leaving keys in the wrong places.

How is that even possible?
ElementaryEdGuy 18
I do not understand either. For that to happen, wouldn't ONE of them have to have been unlocked? I mean, how would you get your car keys into the house without your house keys? How would you have gotten your house keys into your car without it being unlocked which you would need a key for?
SmuggletheBudgie 15
You are in your house you lock the car from your house without realising that the keys are in there you put your car keys down and pop out to get tge mail the door slams shut from the wind. There
NoMore_CoolNames 14
So OP's house is unlocked... Unless they locked the bottom lock before leaving.
_streets_ 19
Hmmm which one would cause less damage to break into..hopefully your house had a window open that you could crawl through or something.
sybyabraham 17
Concentrate, OP. The keys will come to you.
sassypenguinxox 15
Time to call roadside assistance

And that's when OP realizes he left his phone at work
brackaman 18
I agree. The keys to success are staying calm and thinking rationally. Oh who am I kidding? OP probably locked the keys to success in the trunk or something.

Call the keysmith or the dealership, and until then just hang with a friend or family. Hope you had nowhere important to be!
