Today, I got back from vacation and realised I still had the motel key. The key-ring has the address on it, so you can post it back to them. I drove to the postbox and posted the key. I then discovered that the motel key won't start my car. FML
the address of the motel is attached to the ROOM key and not your CAR key
so your CAR KEY will never pull up anywhere but the local lost&found
especially small hotels/motels/bed&breakfasts do NOT have keycard systems

guys, calm down!
every single one of these FML's was preventable,
there stupid mistakes made by the writer or someone the writer knew - thats what makes them funny!
there is no point in posting on these things telling them how to act next time, they didn't post up here to be lectured
Ok. Seriously. If you haven't ever been to New Zealand, don't comment on the use of keys instead of key cards. I've never ever been to a motel, not overseas, that doesn't use keys.
Anyway. Bummer, dude.
That totally sucks for you.
Hope you got the keys back!! Or called AA and got them to break into the car for you... (AA in NZ is the Automobile Association, not to be confused with Alcoholics Anon, just in case any foreigners are wondering :p)
And yes, NZ motels do often use keys.

Why are you on FML? You should be outside, by the postbox.
