Today, in a rush to get out of my house to go to a doctor's appointment, I closed the door behind me without having my house or car keys on me. Sadly, it took me less than a minute to break into my own house. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I accidentally locked my car and house keys along with my phone in my car. Then I had to break into my own house looking for the spare. Someone called the police and I had to explain that I lived there. I forgot to grab the spare when I went to talk to the police officers I locked the door behind me. FML
Today, while driving home, I realized I forgot my house key. Luckily, when I arrived home, someone had already broken into my house. Guess I didn't need the key. FML
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, I spent forty minutes trying to break into my own house after being locked out. After finally getting in through a small unlocked window, I discovered my keys in my pants pocket. FML
Today, after locking myself out of my house, I let myself into my car to wait on someone with a spare key. It took me 15 minutes to realise the house and car key share the same ring. 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, as I stepped out the door and heard it lock behind me, I realized I had forgotten both my keys and my baby inside. There's no other way in. 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 shut my finger in the car door. The door locked. Then I dropped the keys on the ground and couldn't reach them. FML
Today, I was about to go out and get some groceries, but the moment I slammed the door I realized my keys were still inside. My inner caveman instincts told me to immediately break down the door, so now I have to get a doorknob replacement instead of food. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well now you know to get stuff to protect your home better...at least it didn't take a stranger breaking in to teach you.

I can reach my lock through my doggy door lol.

defeats the purpose of having a lock

Maybe not. If he has a doggy door, maybe that same dog is also a trained attack dog? I've heard that owning a dog is one of the best security systems to keep thieves away.

Take that up with my parents lol and I'm 6'4" so I have really long arms. Most people don't.

C'mon OP look on the bright side!

I don't see much of a bright side in this situation.

I did that before when I was younger, but was middle if the night and didnt want to wake anyone up. So I broke in by removing a window fan. never felt safe again knowing it took me 20s

Totally feel you OP for the part locking yourself out
Enslaved 38
Curious. How did the OP do it? If it's something like a brick to a glass window, I think everyone could have done that in less than a minute too. I think this situation is better than the OP not being able to get into their house at all and being stranded outside for hours. Or hurting them self trying to kick in the door etc.... Silver lining.

Probably climbed through a window. I did that once, and thankfully there was no one outside to see me do it.

But if you left the keys inside, so why did you have to break in? Or if you had your house keys you could've used that?
Khaleesi_26 30
OP left all the keys in the house. There was know other way to get inside besides breaking in. Or calling a locksmith but they can take up to days to get there.

I had to help my folks one time, took me a plastic credit card and about 30 seconds and I was in. They were very surprised.

All the time for me. I've got it down to about ten seconds too.
