Today, I woke up to find that I left my headlights on last night. I found out by the headlights of my car smashed and a post-it note on my windshield saying "you accidentally left your headlights on... I took care of that for you". FML
I agree, your life sucks (16715) - you totally deserved it (2901)

That sucks. They couldn't knock on your door? Instead they bust your lights.

How thoughtful and creative of the guy smashing your headlights to return to his place, grab a pen and a post-it note, concisely and wittily explain his motives, then return to your vehicle to put it on the windshield.
You'd think someone thoughtful enough to think of your reaction would try to find out where you lived to tell you, or to just put a few dirty rags over the lights, since he obviously knows the expensive inconvenience he's putting you through.
But then you wouldn't have an situation worthy to submit to FML, would you? Looks like it worked out for everyone involved.
Agreed agreed lol!
You have to admit, this guy was pretty hilarious. Maybe he truly felt it was the best way (in his twisted mind) to take care of it. It's kind of cute in a way. But of course I would be pissed off. And then I would laugh about it. My car is insured.

Hmmm I guess I was a little too sarcastic, then. Given that I was trying to say that I think this a fake/unlikely/extremely exaggerated FML.
I have a 2007 model car and it does not beep if I leave my lights on. On the other hand, it does automatically turn them off when I shut off the car.

Lol that's not even a new thing. I don't know why they don't make all cars with lights that turns off when you turn the key off!

just leave them on again and wait for him to come back, they always come back.

Yeah, what can i say? the lights were keeping me up, i had to sort it out.

I suspect if you were to follow the path of your light beams to the window they were shining on, you could thank him in person for saving you from a dead battery. You could even take the note and the broken lights and insert them up his rectum.

Get off the computer and call the cops on whoever's house your lights were shining into.

Someone stole my stereo twice, so I finally stuck a peice of cardboard in the hole with "Already Stolen" on it. A few days later I found my window smashed in and " Had to check" written on it. Sucked.

Omg where the hell do you live? After a while I would put a tiger in my car at night. Best way to scare off potential thieves. I'm sorry but it's pretty funny that someone wrote back "had to check".

Ok, now that's just funny. I want to be that person's friend.

Lot of surprisingly clever thieves with pens at the ready these days, it would seem. And here I was thinking most people who break into your car are agitated idiot crackheads who just want to take your shit and run.
Wow enough4, can you be any more sarcastic on this FML? We get it, you don't think these stories are likely.
how do you not know that your headlights are on? you have to be a complete dumbass not to notice it.
lol, at least this isn't one of those situations where people damage someone's property thinking it is someone else's.

Next time you'll remember to turn them off, stupid. YDI
#24 - On 11/14/2009 at 11:38am by lostfaithinpppl
wow, people need to chill out, sometimes you just forget to turn off the headlights. my car beeps at me if i leave them on if the door is open and the keys are out of the ignition, and i still left 'em on by accident once
shit happens

You are a dumbass then. If you DON'T turn off the lights while the car is BEEPING at you saying "Hey dumbass don't forget to turn the lights off" then you deserve to have your lights punched out as well.

that is fucking hilarious, eventhough it sucks for you ;) If life gives you lemons, ask for salt and tequila

Oh that sucks. Luckily my car lights turn themselves off after a bit. Good thing though because I hear the light housing for my car costs $300 each. Ouch!
Whatever window your headlights were facing into is the perpetrator. You should return the favor at some point in time, and then set up a video camera to record your car/path/door area so if they return again, you'll have evidence against the assh**e.
to be honest, if someone had left their headlights on, keeping me awake then i'd have done the same.
maybe if i was feeling nice I'd just have removed the bulbs.
How do you forget to turn off your headlights at night?? They are kind of bright when it's dark...
