Today, I had my car valeted at my hotel. The manager came out, took my keys, and said the car would be waiting for me in an hour. I was then forced to watch from the lobby as the "manager" sped off downtown. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I decided to splurge and get valet parking at a fancy restaurant. I got out of the car and gave the man my keys and watched as he slowly backed my car into another car. FML
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, my manager asked me to escort a VIP and make a fuss over her. Two hours I waited, calling my manager every 10 minutes to check in. He eventually told me he got the date wrong, she’s not coming until Thursday. He then docked my pay for the two hours I was “stood around doing nothing.” FML
Today, I went to get my car washed at one of those places where you can watch through the glass. I watched in horror, face pressed against the glass, as my car went through with the window down. FML
Today, I found my company car wrecked in a ditch. Apparently, leaving it parked on an icy hill all night was a bad idea. I have to pick up my manager from the airport. FML
Today, I dropped my car keys down the elevator shaft at my dorm. I had parked my car at a parking meter, and now had no way to get change out of my car. It took six hours for someone to get my keys, and I now have a $75 parking ticket. FML
Today, I couldn't find my car in a mall parking lot. After 30 minutes of searching, I reported it stolen to the mall security. It turns out that I'd parked it on the opposite side of the mall. Security escorted me to my car, all while giving me pitiful looks. FML
Today, I had a job interview at a restauraunt opening up. One manager hypothetically asked me why I should be hired. I said I was more efficient than most. I left to find I'd locked my keys in the car. It took all the managers to help me get my keys out. FML
Today, I took my car to a car wash, and when I got it back, one of the rearview mirrors was missing. Someone knocked it off and the management refuses to cooperate on who was the thief. FML
Today, I found out the day manager has been illegally entering my apartment when I’m not home. My car was in the shop, so when he saw my parking spot empty, he came right on in. I was just getting out of the shower and was standing stark naked. He didn’t even try to explain. Just smirked. FML

This is why I don't trust valet parking.

Well, did he bring it back an hour later? If so, he didn't lie and you gave him the keys, so he didn't do anything wrong... amirite?

Or did OP find out that the hotel doesn't actually have valet parking.

16- It would still be considered Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle, which in my state at least, is a Class A Misdemeanor, punishable by up to two years in prison, a $15,000 fine, and a term of probation not to exceed 36 months. So yes, he could get his ass grilled for taking OP's car. Source: Texas Penal Codes & Statutes, rev. Nov. 2010

No, you are probably not right. From the tone of the post, it implies that his car was stolen by someone posing as the manager. I guess you would have lost your car too in the same situation.

29 the op isn't from the us.... So there for it might not be the same charges...

That's why I said in my state. Every state and/or country has different laws and different penalties for said laws. You're absolutely right.

Seriously? Even the holiday inn has valet in Boston it's not that big of a deal.

I don't really understand why someone would put so much trust in a complete stranger with something like that...next time park yourself...

Good point. I don't know any Brits who use that term.

Somebody's jealous. Just because a person has money doesnt mean that everything's going great in their life

Totally agree. People without money say it doesn't make you happy. People with money don't always agree.
