Today, I got into my car and it wouldn't start. I noticed I had left the lights on and assumed the battery was dead. Then, I couldn't get my key out of the ignition. So, I called AAA only to have the guy put my car in park and start the engine. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I went out to my car to run some errands. It wouldn't start. I called AAA, only to find out my battery wasn't dead, it was stolen. FML
Today, I pulled into a parking lot, for the car to simply shut off because I ran out of gas. Then I couldn't get the key out of the ignition, so I called my dad, who walked all the way to where I was, only to find out that the car was still in drive. FML
Today, I left my lights on in my car, which I only realized at lunchtime, so I made sure to turn the lights off, and tried to start it. The battery was dead, so I called my dad to jump start it before I got back from my game. I later came back from the game and the lights were on. He'd left the lights on after jump starting it. FML
Today, I went to Auto Zone because my car was having trouble starting, and I thought it was the battery. The guy checked it with their reader, and confirmed it was dying. Right after he put the battery in, my starter died. I had to get my car towed to the shop. FML
Today, after a snowstorm, I went to start my car early in the morning for work. The door was frozen solid, so I had to jimmy it open with a screwdriver. Then, as I started to drive off, my foot slipped off the clutch and the car stalled out. The battery was too weak to start it again. FML
Today, while on the job I accidentally locked my keys and all of my equipment in the car. I work for the AAA. FML
Today, after having my car back for a few months after a $2,000 repair, I got in, only for it to not start. Don't worry. It's not the battery. It's the engine, which was fine yesterday. FML
Today, I picked up my car from the repair shop, drove two miles, and ran out of gas. I then walked to get gas, put a gallon of gas in the car, and tried to start it. The battery was too weak to start the car, and died on the spot. 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 car. After spending 20 minutes on the phone with AAA, and then waiting a half hour, the guy showed up, he stuck his hand in the driver's side window and asked, "You couldn't just reach in?" I forgot I left the window open. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Umm wow. Petty much. People aren't stupid because of that, they probably had things on your mind to where they forgot... Rude ass people these days.

Was that second comment really necessary? It seems like you're just trying to rub it in. "ppl" and "r" doesn't show that she doesn't know how to spell, its just text language, "your" on the other hand is a show of poor grammar when you're trying to say "you're".

thnx 30 I was just joking y is everyone on FML so mean
MissHayleyJames 7
Because it's really annoying. How hard is it to type those 2 extra letters in "your"?
Krirn 21
I'm sorry 44, but if you think people on FML are too mean, it might not be the place for you. At least not yet.

Constructive criticism.
MargieDrury 1
Learn that or shush up. I'm not mean but I have no tolerance for anything.

Margie, don't complain about other peoples spelling mistakes when you clearly can't spell yourself. This is the second time I've had to correct you in this FML. *You're.
Krirn 21
Just because one says "no ****", it doesn't make their act any less "****" then it was. So saying "constructive criticism" doesn't justify you lashing out at somebody.

smart move by calling AAA.

I've done that. I didn't call AAA though, I eventually figured it out.

For a second there I thought this was an April Fool's FML. But nope, just another derpy OP.

But you can't get out of park without turning the ignition and the key gets stuck if not in park. So how did it all begin?

Left it in neutral?

I'm sure these AAA guys get stuff like this (and worse!) all the time. Don't worry, if he didn't call you a dumbass to your face, I'm sure he did to his colleagues. They're probably all having a good laugh at your expense right now. There, don't you feel better?

No worries, OP. This actually happened to me today and I was freaking out to my dad thinking the battery had died. Quite embarrassing but at least it's a mistake we'll never make again!

You can't even figure out an automatic? Please, for your health and everyone else on the road. DON'T drive.
