Today, my girlfriend decided it would be cute to leave a love letter in my car while I was at work. She left my lights on. I got a dead battery. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I woke up to find that I left my headlights on last night. I found out by the headlights of my car smashed and a post-it note on my windshield saying "you accidentally left your headlights on... I took care of that for you". FML
Today, I left my lights on in my car, which I only realized at lunchtime, so I made sure to turn the lights off, and tried to start it. The battery was dead, so I called my dad to jump start it before I got back from my game. I later came back from the game and the lights were on. He'd left the lights on after jump starting it. FML
Today, I thought it would be romantic to take my girlfriend to the beach. It was raining so we left our shoes and phones in the car so we wouldn't be bothered. Apparently, I left my keys in the car too. The car was locked. FML
Today, my car ran out of battery. I'm writing this from the middle of the road. FML
Today, somebody stopped by the front desk at the hotel I work at to report a vehicle had its headlights on. I wrote down the info, including the plate. Hours later, after my shift was over, I finally realized that it was MY vehicle. The battery was dead. FML
Today, I got into my car and it wouldn't start. I noticed I had left the lights on and assumed the battery was dead. Then, I couldn't get my key out of the ignition. So, I called AAA only to have the guy put my car in park and start the engine. FML
Today, my girlfriend left me. When she moved out, she even took the light bulbs with her. FML
Today, I found a note on my car windshield that said, “Sorry about what happened.” I immediately assumed someone had hit it. After panicking for 2 minutes, I realized the note had been left by my friend, who had borrowed my car and accidentally left the radio playing overnight, draining the battery. FML
Today, after working the midnight shift at my job, I thought it would be nice to leave a sweet love note along with my boyfriend's favourite candy in his car. Upon finding it, he immediately broke up with me for "breaking into" his car. FML
Today, my phone died while I was on the phone with my girlfriend. When I finally got a charger, I saw a text message from her. I'm now single. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Not the brightest bulb in the shed, but the idea was nice enough to give your relationship a jump-start, no?

Just don't hit her for her mistake! You'll definitely be charged with battery.

yo be happy you have a girl that cares about you enough to write you a love letter in the first place.

Better it be a love letter than a break up notice.

This reminds me of something I'd do. Except, I have yet to make such a mistake, now I'm aware that I should be careful with the car lights. She really cares about you, OP, cherish the letter & kindly let her know so she doesn't make the same mistake again. I've done tiny mistakes myself & it helps to know what I did to avoid problems in the relationship & for I can help correct them if possible. Communication really is key. ^_^ Be grateful you have someone that loves you by avoiding getting mad at her at times like this.

I hate it when you do something nice for someone and then it ends up ruining someone's day...

The real question is...how did she get into YOUR car -.-

69- She probably has a spare key. You know, in case he locks his keys in his car or loses them.

When I used to leave stuff in my boyfriends car I would just hint at him to leave it unlocked.

She probably left them on thinking that you would go out to your car.
