Today, I left my dog in my car for 5 minutes while I ran into a store. The car was running so he was fine, the thing that wasn't so fine is that when I walked out my car wasn't there. My dog somehow moved my car into the middle of a intersection, almost causing an accident. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I left my dog in the car while I quickly ran into a store. I came out to a woman smashing at my window, screaming that it was too hot in the car for the dog and saying I was being inhumane. The car was still running and the air conditioning was on. FML
Today, I opened my car door on reaching destination and my dog escaped. I never found him. My destination was the vet's office to get him micro-chipped. FML
Today, someone let my puppy escape. I didn't know, until I arrived home and hit him with my car. FML
Today, I was driving back from school 100 miles away from my home with my fiancé and dog. While stopping for gas, we accidentally left our car keys and cell phones in the car. The dog sat on one of the keys and engaged the locks. We were locked out of the car until the tow truck arrived. FML
Today, I went to pick up my dog from the vet after she had surgery. I somehow managed to lock my keys, my purse, and my dog in the car. FML
Today, I spent five minutes sitting in my car, panicking and tearing my purse apart because I couldn't find my keys. I then found them. They were in the ignition, and the car was running. FML
Today, my dog was riding my car's passenger seat. He clambered over onto my lap, causing me to lose control of the wheel for a few seconds. As I tried to knock him off me, I lost track of my speed, and ended up being pulled over for reckless driving. FML
Today, I accidentally left the handbrake off in my car, got out, locked it, and started walking away. Then I heard a loud noise and looked over my shoulder and the car was gone. Of course, it hit the only other car parked in the street. FML
Today, I was walking my husky when she saw a cat and bolted toward it. I couldn't let go of the leash because my hand was tangled up. Forced to run along, I ran into a parked van at full sprint. I lost my dog, broke two ribs and have to pay for the dent in the van. FML
Today, I was driving home with my girlfriend. As we turned onto our block, she shrieked that our dog was running down the street and into traffic. I jumped out of the moving car and chased him for about a mile, only to give up, go home, and find out it wasn't our dog. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Take away his license until he learns to be responsible.

I'm just trying to comprehend the fact that your dog apparently moved the car while it was parked.

I would have a heart attack if something happened to my dog. Glad yours was ok!

Well if he's a big dog, I can see how he might've managed to switch gears. As long as the car wasn't parked it'd roll on its own so...runaway puppy.

You kinda deserve it, because who keeps their car on? It can be stolen or in a weird situation, your dog moves it, but FYL because it's also not your fault, you didn't know your dog would do that.

fyl commentking, how could it not be ops fault? I cant believe that you said that!

Or you didn't put it on park ?

Or it's a manual and therefor does not have a park gear.

Or it is a manual, and OP left it in neutral and didn't engage the emergency brake. That's what I'm guessing REALLY happened.

Are you stupid?

I guess you could say the dog drives you crazy

You leave your car running to keep the air conditioning on for pets during the summer.

It was 5 frigging minutes. Nothing would have happened to the dog. Especially since the AC had been on up until OP parked in front of the store, so the temperature inside the car wouldn't have been too hot.

What if there had been a long line at the check out? OP couldn't honestly predict how long they would be in the store.

well leaving the car running with the keys in unattended and out if sight is just a stupid decision in general it's an open target to car thieves.

I live out in the middle of nowhere. "everybody knows everybody" type place. First of all, no one is dumb enough around here to steal a car, because if they do, someone knows them. Second, even if they did, I park said car up front by the cameras when I leave it on for my dog. Third, **** all of you if you think it's okay to leave a dog in a car without the air conditioner on. Why don't you try sitting in a car like that yourself? Would you leave your child in the car like that? Same thing. Both are living and cannot survive in temperatures that are created when A METAL (gets very hot, for you dumb kids) BOX ON WHEELS SITS UNDER THE SUN (is already very hot).

You are the idiot. Do you assume that just because you live in the middle of nowhere that everyone else does too? Second, most of the store cameras are either fake, or are not actually set up to record. It gets too expense and so most of those stores are just hoping that people will be more cautious because of a camera in place. Third, it is not okay to leave a pet unattended in a car. If you think OP is responsible by leaving a RUNNING car with a pet inside is responsible, then you are seriously naïve. OP should have either took the pet inside with them if possible or left them at home to go to the store. A pet is a responsibility that most people are too ignorant to handle.

lol, oh okay. they're not running even though when I walk into the store a monitor that shows every cameras feed is sitting right there. mhm. not to mention, yeah. I live in the middle of nowhere. how often are people who don't live here visiting? never. no hotels. nothing to see. sorry, champ. if I'm going inside where my pet is not allowed, I'm leaving him on the car with the air conditioner on. he'll be fine considering it's really no different than leaving him alone at home, since I'm pretty sure most dogs don't figure out how to hit the brake in order to switch gears. now **** off, love.

No, you don't leave your pets in the vehicle!

I'm mostly just impressed that your dog managed to operate an e-brake.
OhWhoCares 42
This is why we use the emergency brake when the car is parked...

Was the dog a chihuahua? I read this in Bad Pets: Most Wanted.
