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, my relatively new car locked down, with my keys inside of it, while it was still running. In a panic because it was getting dark and I was already low on fuel, I called a locksmith. He showed up and told me he needed to see some ID before unlocking the car. My ID was in the car. FML
Today, I dropped my keys in the sewer. The spare ones are inside my locked car. FML
Today, as I was closing my car door, I realized I had left the keys in the ignition. Not wanting to lock myself out, I reached to stop the door from closing. Not only did I scream when the door slammed on my hand, but in my furious pain, I leaned on the door, locking my keys inside. 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

I'm impressed you managed to get the car to LET you lock yourself out... Either it's an antique, or you are truly talented... Nearly every car these days will prevent you from locking the door when it is open and the key is in the ignition.

Dullest FML ever. You should win an award for that. Still, FYL. That was probably pretty embarrassing.

Why did I just read this fml as some kind of weird sexual innuendo?

FYL. Those parking enforcement officers are complete and total scum; a stain on society. Think about it! Their job is to screw people every day! Yes sometimes those tickets are legit however in my personal experience it is usually some really picky often bent interpretation of a rule but you have to pay anyway. I'm sorry; this sucks. And if there are any parking enforcement officers reading this; SCREW YOU GUYS! Go get a better job or better yet just remove yourselves from society. man. There i'm done ranting.
