Today, I ran out of cash. The nearest ATM to my house is over a half hour away by foot. After walking all the way there under the blistering heat of the sun, I realized I'd left my card back at home. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I canceled my ATM card, because it had been lost. Then I found it. Then I found out I can't reactivate it, because I asked for a replacement card. I'm from CA, and I'm in Mexico with only 20 bucks. FML
Today, I had to drive down to my parents' house. On they way down, I needed to fill up on gas but unfortunately I'd forgotten my wallet at home with all of my cash and credit cards. I then had to call triple A and explain to them in all seriousness how I ran out of gas at the gas station. FML
Today, I walked all the way across campus to eat the first meal I've had all day. After waiting for my food in a congested line for 30 minutes, I got to the register to pay. Turns out my wallet was a twenty minute walk away, back in my apartment. FML
Today, I went to the store to buy some groceries. Several hours later I realize that I can't find my wallet. After looking all over my house and then the store parking lot, I had my credit cards cancelled. On the drive home, I feel something under me. It was my wallet. FML
Today, I had to take two buses home from a friend's house. After waiting in the cold for the second bus for 40 minutes, it finally came and I realized that I'd left my wallet on the first bus. It took me 2 hours to walk home and I was locked out because my house key is attached to my wallet. FML
Today, I went to an ATM to see how much money I had in my account. I put the card in. It never gave it back. FML
Today, as soon as I put my card into an ATM, the words "Out of Order" popped up and it would not return my card. Since I was at the bank, I got a free replacement. Trying to draw money again the second machine did the same thing and a third card costs more than what I have in my account. FML
Today, I walked to the grocery store despite being out of shape since it was typically only a 30 minute walk and gas prices are bad. The hourly temperature on my weather app was wrong as usual so by the time I got to the store, I was sweating buckets. By the time I got back home, I was so overheated I nearly threw up. FML
Today, I went to a coffee shop with the change I got back after buying a ball. After having waited in line for around twenty minutes, I was told that only credit cards were allowed. I'd left my wallet in my car because I thought I didn't need it. FML
Today, I went to the drugstore on my bike. The chain came off, the pedal punctured the top of my foot and I was bleeding a lot. To add insult to injury, the ATM inside was broken. I got gauze instead of the cash I came for. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Next time make sure you have everything you need before you leave the house.

"Blistering heat", here are words I have never said since I moved to Ireland ;-)

A 1/2 hour? I mean we are talking 30 mins? So you wasted an hour of your life? That's all? Is this really a fml? Sounds more like you're a whiny bitch.

since it's January here on northern Ontario Canada, I would gladly trade you frostbite in 5 minutes here

Stop complaining. It 's so goddamn cold here I'd take your blistering heat anytime

Well, you don't have to walk for 30+ minutes straight to get where you need to go, do you? As a side note, even if you do, you'll warm up a little bit by moving that much. OP will only get hotter.

I presume you don't have a car?

Nothing like a tan anyway eh? Also, burning a few extra calories never hurts.

Sucks man, had that problem before although it was heavy rain and not blistering sun. Managed to convince a taxi driver to take me to the ATM and that I would have the money in my account to pay him there

Plot twist: OP walks all the way home to get his card and has left his house keys inside.

Why does this sound like something I, myself would do.?.
