Today, I locked my keys in my car. Good thing I went to Lowe's to make spares, which are also now locked in the car. FML

Today, I locked my keys in my car. After looking for the spare key for hours, we called our insurance company, who then sent a "locksmith" with a wedge and a bar to open my car. All he did was break the driver and passenger doorhandles. My stuff is still inside. FML
Today, I locked myself out of my car. While walking home to retrieve the spare, I realized I locked my house keys inside the house this morning. Now I must decide whether to break into my house or car. FML

Today, I locked my keys in my car. My spare keys are 45 minutes away in my dorm room. My dorm room keys are attached to my car keys locked in my car. Security said they would let me in as long as I had my school ID. It's on my keychain. FML
Today, after locking myself out of my house, I let myself into my car to wait on someone with a spare key. It took me 15 minutes to realise the house and car key share the same ring. FML
Today, I accidentally locked my car and house keys along with my phone in my car. Then I had to break into my own house looking for the spare. Someone called the police and I had to explain that I lived there. I forgot to grab the spare when I went to talk to the police officers I locked the door behind me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

After you eventually get in, zip tie one of the spares someplace no one will see, so this wont happen again. I zip tie spares to the frame under the truck. Works every time.

There must be some record for locking a certain amount of keys to a vehicle inside of it. You should look that up and apply to Guinness. On a related note have you ever brought up Home Depot in a Lowes? They look at you like you're the antichrist. I swear. It felt like I just showed up to a bar mitzvah in a SS uniform.

#12, I know how you feel! I was at a Denny's and inquired about the "Rooty Tooty Fresh and Fruity" and they informed me with disgust and disdain that it was an IHOP dish. You've got to see if from the store's point of view. I worked in a small town with only two theaters and since I worked at one, the other was necessarily Hell on Earth. If a movie was you wanted to see was showing at the enemy cinema, you just had to miss it. It was very awkward when we merged!

No, #12, we don't. If anything, the customers make it a joke and we always love to undercut Home Depot's prices to secure our business. Competition is always healthy! Plus, those that swear they'll never come back because THEY are trying to pull a fraudulent stunt are often back the next day. We just giggle to ourselves, and thank them for their business.

I would tell you to invest in a personal locksmith... but I'm worried that you might lock him in the car too.

Maybe it's time to invest in a car with one of those touchpad key codes on the driver side door OP.

They don't even make cars like that anymore because they are easier to break Into. That was for 95-00 models.. So that wouldn't really be an investment

You can get new Bentleys with fingerprint recognition on the door handles, and you can buy a similar upgrade for most any car, costs about 3 grand, but worth it if you wanna French the door handles.

I wasn't aware , Sorry. My godfather has a 2002 Ford Explorer and my aunt has a 2011 Ford Expedition and they both have the passcode pads on their driver side doors. I just assumed. But thank you for taking the time to clear that up !

I am a proud employee at Lowes! How many deaths have Home Depot been responsible for due to retarded employees? Eighty. Lowes? Zero. We watch ours, and the customers' backs.

Next stop for you, OP, is a neurologist if you can remember the way there.....

It's not really a big deal. If you call the local police they can unlock it with the tool they have specifically for this. I see this happen all the time, OP. You aren't any less intelligent than these bozos. Word of caution, though, only certain car keys can be copied at Lowe's.

It all depends on which officer you encounter. My friend locked her key in her call and saw a police driving by and asked for help. He refused saying that many police stopped helping because it opens up a liability if there's damage done to the car.

I recommend either AAA or your auto insurance's roadside assistance service, if you have it on your policy. It was great when I had my prior car and it broke down in the next town.
