Today, I was walking along the beach at night with my family. A huge wave came up and knocked me over. When we got to the van, I realized that the keys that had been in my pocket were now in the ocean. Our cell phones, shoes, and money were in the van. We had to walk three miles to our hotel. FML

OP here! Just to clarify: Waves knock people off their feet easily. We weren't lazy, we just didn't want to walk barefoot through a place covered with broken beer bottles and vomit. We couldn't break the window because the van had an alarm system, plus it was a nice van and we didn't want to harm it - especially if we were perfectly capable of walking to the hotel and dealing with it the next day.

At least you didn't drown or something because all those things are replaceable, you are not.

Ever hear of smashing the window? You might not be able to drive it but you would have all your stuff

That's what I was thinking, and use your cell phone to call for help.

And what if it was a rental car?

I would rather walk three miles for free than to smash my window AND pay for replacement keys

Life is a beach.

Bust a window, get a phone, google how to Hotwire whatever model van it is, and fix it later. Problem solved. No need to let it ruin a vaca or make anyone exert that much effort.

You have angered lord Poseidon. You must appease his anger by a sacrificial offering of your closet friends intestines.

Closet friends? I think you need help if you're keeping friends in your closet.. Taking their intestines might warrant mental help too.

When you're on a beach and below the high tide line never Ever EVER! turn your back on the ocean.

lazy americans cant even walk 3miles.. my biggest problem would be to have lost the keys and beeing wet. And spend money to have the car opened.

The problem wasn't walking three miles... It was the fact that we were barefoot in a party vacation town. There was glass and beer bottles everywhere, as well as vomit. It was gross, and probably quite hazardous to our health.

Also, just because OP was on vacation in the US doesn't automatically mean they're American. And why the **** would your biggest problem about going to the beach be that you got wet??
