Today, I got a call from a police department saying that if I didn't move my car from a store's parking lot within the next 15 minutes, they were going to tow it and charge me for the fee. I was at work and the reason I parked it there is because it started smoking and almost caught fire. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my boss reported to the police that a suspicious car has been parked outside the store late at night. I walked outside and my car was gone. He had my car towed. FML
Today, I walked to work. I later discovered that my husband had parked my car in a no-parking area. My job is towing cars. I had to tow my own car. FML
Today, after a broken smoke detector in my home caused the fire department to come, I got an angry visit from my neighbor who was upset because she had parked in front of a fire hydrant and got a ticket. She demands that I pay it, "or else." FML
Today, I went to lunch with a friend in her car. I told her to park in a lot that had signs warning that we'd be towed, saying, "They never tow anyone from here. In fact, if you get towed, I'll pay for it." When we returned, her car was gone. I had to pay $145 in cash to get it back. FML
Today, my truck got towed after being parked for ten minutes, even though wasn't in a no parking area. Now I have to pay 500 dollars to get it out of impound. FML
Today, while borrowing my girlfriend's dad's truck, I had to pay $120 to prevent it from being towed. I was parked right in front of my apartment unloading heavy furniture into my garage for not even 20 minutes while the apartment manager, who called the tow truck, watched us from his balcony. FML
Today, the fire alarm went off at my apartment. I rushed out but forgot to grab a coat, so I hopped in my car and fired it up, figuring I'd wait it out. A fireman knocked on my window and loudly asked me to get out, then wrote me a citation for "improper fire alarm protocols." That's a thing? FML
Today, I parked my car, went to pay for my spot, and returned to my car only to find a parking violation ticket tucked under the windshield wipers. This all happened in less than a minute. FML
Today, my car was towed. After taking a cab all the way to the lot for $45 and paying the $250 fee to get my car back, my car broke down in the impound lot and needed to be towed to the nearest shop, where it took another $200 to fix, and $50 for the towing. I still have a 3-hour drive home. FML
Today, I started my first day of work at my new job. They had a section in the parking lot for employees only, so I parked there. Apparently, my boss didn't recognize my car, and had it towed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

ummmmm....cause they can pull up the registered owner based on the license plate number?? doesn't surprise me that you couldn't figure that out since you can't be bothered to properly use the word "to" (not "too") OR properly punctuate a query.

I find it funny that all the retarded car-related FMLs are written by women.

YDI If it's undriveable, call a tow truck and get it to a shop. You don't just get to leave it wherever you feel like.

Thats so irresponsible to just leave your car anywhere because theres something wrong with it...and i guarentee that their boss would have let them go fix the problem it its not like they need some huge amount of time to take care of it.

Are you sure it "almost caught fire" or are you one of those people that knows nothing about cars so every smoke/mist/gas escape from under your hood is a sign of fire? It's hot under the hood naturally. If something leaks or splashes from any where you're going to have "smoke"... I'm sorry because it's not necessarily the case here but I hate how people over dramatize everything.. "My car almost caught fire that's why I parked it there" *oven left on for 10 minutes* "Almost burned the house down"

Also, 86, you're a moron. "Heat and gasoline don't mix" you know it's always hot under the hood of a car right?

Car smoking= usually means out of coolant or the radiator has just hit it's time(for the people who obviously could not comprehend this FML, radiator is old or broken). It's the ******* twentieth century, you can get the car's owner by it's license plates...and therefore get her contact information. If you're a cop all this information gets pulled up. >.
