Today, I tried to surprise my parents by coming home from college for Spring Break. I arrived to find a dark house, with all the doors bolted shut. After calling them, I found out that they have gone on a vacation to Hawaii for a week. I am now locked out of my own house, with no where to stay. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom and dad went off somewhere for some alone time together. My mom had apparently turned her phone off and my dad left his at home. In that span of time, my brother had accidentally locked himself out of his house, and my sister was also trying to get a hold of them, and now are asking me where they're at. FML
Today, since my parents always told me that I was welcome to come home whenever I want or need, I decided to stop by. They'd changed the locks and wouldn't let me in. FML
Today, after I spent a weekend at my boyfriend’s house, I came home to find the locks changed. My parents decided to change them because they “don’t need me slutting around under their roof.” My boyfriend lives 4 hours away and I have nothing but an overnight bag. FML
Today, I snuck out of the house for a night on the town. When I got back, I found all the doors and windows bolted shut. My sister's laughing face at my bedroom window suggests I'll be spending the rest of the night outside. FML
Today, my mother knocked on the door of my room at 7am. I am currently over 300 miles from home, on a vacation to get away from my overbearing family. I told none of them where I was going. FML
Today, I was awakened by knocking on my door, only to find my parents standing there. Turns out, they booked two one-way tickets to visit me from another country. Their plan? I should scrap my upcoming 2-week vacation to hang out because they invested in this trip. Oh, and they didn't book a hotel. I'm 31. FML
Today, I got back to my apartment from being away for the past week on Spring break. I found the locks on my apartment changed and all my things on the curb, many of them broken or stolen. I ran to the leasing office to see what had happened. Turns out it was an accounting error on their part. FML
Today, I flew my wife, myself and three kids to pay a surprise visit to my parents who were going to be alone for Christmas. When we arrived, we found out they decided to go on vacation. We have nowhere to go. FML
Today, I overheard my parents planning on how to get me to move out of the house. It's my house. They only came to visit and forgot to leave. FML
Today, I got home from college. Since I haven't seen my parents in almost a year, I sorta expected them to come meet me/pick me up at the airport. Nope. What did I get instead? A text from my dad saying, "I hope you have a key." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

ok the op could go to school out of state, their parents could have moved after they went to college, there are many reasons they could not have the key and not know anyone

Or maybe OP went to a library, or maybe this happened months ago and OP just worded it this way to sound more dramatic, or maybe, just maybe, OP isn't as much of a dumbass as you seem to be

You don't know how to break into your own old home? (Without breaking any windows) And your parents dont trust anyone in the neighberhood with an extra set of keys incase they lost theirs?

You do seem to have somewhere to access the internet though.

@ all of those wondering how he got on the internet : I'm only guessing that he either got into an hotel somewhere or found a friend or a neighbour to go to. A lot of phones have internet or wifi access. Come to think of it, an FML iPhone/iPod app needs to be created.

Why is everyone thinking it's so strange for him not to have a key? When I moved out my parents took my key. It makes sense since I'm not living there anymore. Why would I have a key to someone else's house? Plus I wouldn't want to surprise my parents after I moved out. Chances are they walked around naked all day and did it on everything whenever they felt like it. He could have a laptop. My parents are stupid and never put a password on their wifi connection. So even if I was stuck outside I could use the internet. Ignorance is abundant here.

Also, it's none of his business what they want to do with their time. He's grown and I would imagine his parents are too. So why would they tell him they decided to go on vacation?

@#31 : I'm not sure he's angry that they went on a vacation, he just thinks his life's f'ed because he's locked outside of his house and obviously has nowhere else to go but back to college. Also, even if they have a password on their wifi connection, chances are he has it if he comes to his parents' house on holidays. Then again, he doesn't have a key, so maybe he's using the neighbours' connection :P
