Today, I returned home to find the key to my mailbox missing. I called the post office and was informed that a new key will cost me $15. I have no money, and my paycheck is in the mailbox. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my new mailbox key finally arrived. Not at the front door as I requested, but in the mailbox. FML
Today, I bought a new mailbox to replace the old one that was stolen. Two hours after I put the new mailbox up, the old one was back and the new one was missing. FML
Today, my sister couldn't find the spare key I gave her for my apartment, so I had to pay a $50 fee to the leasing office. Not 30 minutes after paying, she found the key. In her purse. On her keychain. FML
Today, I went to the post office. As I entered the building, my car alarm went off. Thinking I'd accidentally pressed the alarm on my keys, I shut it off without looking. When I returned to my car, the passenger window was demolished and my purse with all my money was gone. FML
Today, I woke up with severe back pain and about $100 missing from my paycheck. FML
Today, I left a note on the kitchen table saying to leave the door unlocked because I lost my key. I come home to find our house ransacked and robbed. Minutes later, I found my key. In my pocket. FML
Today, I locked myself out of my apartment. I've just realized that I could have spent $30 on an Uber or Lyft to my parents' place to grab the other set of keys instead of calling a locksmith and paying $280 for him to drill a hole through my doorknob, rendering all my keys useless. FML
Today, not only did I shit myself on my way to work, I left my house keys in the bathroom after I cleaned up. It's $90 to replace them. FML
Today, I had to call a locksmith because I got locked out of my apartment. It cost a total of $350 to break in and repair the lock. Not even 3 hours later, I dropped my only key in the sewer. FML
Today, I found a note on the front door of my flat saying, "You left your keys in your garage door so I put them in your letter box". Guess where my letter box key is. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You don't have 15 bucks? I think you might have bigger problems then missing a key.

Rallets, does your comment have anything to do with the comment you posted under, or did you put it here to be an attention *****? That's a rhetorical question. We all know the answer.

Well, it's a compelling question, I'll give you that.

76- Like you're trying to do? Did he not just state something along the lines of being a attention ***** and now you're jumping on his pecker stating your pointless opinions.

Secretly there's a hobo hiding with the key in his diaper waiting for you to leave so he can steal your paycheck.

well I say break into the mailbox it is your mailbox after all! Not your fault someone stole it
impregnator 0
ye your excuse for breaking into someone elses property is because it's not your fault that your key was stolen. brilliant.
anie01 5
Nope. Mailboxes are actually federal property, as are the keys. Breaking into one would result in felony allegations-- even if it's assigned to you. It's a big ******* deal to mess with the post office or tamper with mail in any form.

Now that's an idea.

If they have a key, that means they get their mail at the post office, which means it gets sorted and placed directly into the box from inside the mailroom. They're not getting into the mailroom to grab it before it gets put in the box. It doesn't work that way. They COULD, however, go to the counter and ASK about it. If they show ID, I see no reason why the mail person wouldn't give them their mail (I don't know if they'd need ID or not...here you can just say the box number, but it's a small town).

OP could live in an apartment complex joa :O

I also have a key to my mail box, which costs $25 to replace if it goes missing. All of the homes in my neighborhood share a bank of mailboxes, so the mail carrier only has to make one stop to deliver mail to 20 homes. I was thinking this was the case for OP, and FHL because not only do you have to pay for a new key, but it takes awhile! When we bought our house, it took five days for the box to be rekeyed.

Would be hilarious if the key was mailed to you.
