Today, I was getting ready to load my groceries in my car when my remote wouldn't work and neither would my key to unlock it. A cute young guy came over, not to help but to ask me what the hell I was doing to his car. My car, that looked exactly like his, was on the other side of the lot. FML

Today, I got into my car in the parking lot, or at least I thought I did. I sat down, buckled up, and only noticed something was off when a guy walked over from the shopping trolley carousel, opened the passenger door and said, “Can I help you?” Same car model, wrong car. FML

Today, a guy's car broke down in my street, so I helped him push it into my driveway, checked his car out, and gave it a jump start. He thanked me, then as he went to pull out, he instead smashed straight into my car. FML

Today, I stopped by the gas station. As I was filling up I noticed a cute guy at the pump next to me. When I was done, I gave him a wink before opening my car door. It was locked. I had to call my Dad to bring my spare keys. The guy was laughing the whole time as I waited for my Dad to show up. FML

Today, I couldn't see my car in a crowded car park. I pressed unlock on my keys and saw the lights flash. As I walked over I also saw someone run from my car with an armful of my stuff. FML

Today, I helped this guy get into his truck after he'd locked his keys in it, and he said thank you and went on his way. Ten minutes later, a woman came out of the grocery store and freaked out, saying someone stole her truck. I helped a guy steal a truck. FML

Today, my relatively new car locked down, with my keys inside of it, while it was still running. In a panic because it was getting dark and I was already low on fuel, I called a locksmith. He showed up and told me he needed to see some ID before unlocking the car. My ID was in the car. FML

Today, I was walking to my car when I saw a large man walking behind me. I hurried to open my car as he was approaching quickly, but the door wasn't unlocking and I panicked. I then realized that it wasn't even my car. As I walked away from it, he walked up and unlocked the door. FML

Today, I walked out of the grocery store, loaded my bags into my car, then sat in the driver’s seat. I tried to start the engine, but the key wouldn’t turn. That’s when I noticed the child’s seat in the back, which I don’t have. I was in the wrong car, and the owner was standing outside, laughing at me. FML

Today, I locked my keys in my car at a gas station. A man stopped to help me with a wire hanger. After about 20 min in the freezing weather, he was getting close to unlocking it when I looked over at the passenger door to see that it was unlocked. All the doors were unlocked but the driver's side. 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

This happens all the time. I actually got into (unlocked) car once. It took me fiddling with the ignition before I realized it wasn't my car. Luckily the alarm didn't go off or the owner didn't show up.

Atleast you didnt get into a minivan identical to your moms in middle school only to look over and see a complete stranger staring at you with a strange look. Yup.

That's why I always check the license plate. Also, agree with #28.

And in the mean time, your car was unlocked and robbed... Those remotes work on surprisingly long distances. Have you tried to put it to your head? It makes it work on even longer ranges. :-D

Amplified by the power of the mind. It truly is amusing to see.

Why does everyone always mention that the random person in their story is cute/hot/attractive? Were you expecting him to approach you at "your" car and offer to take you to the coffee shop for some oral sex?

Haha, aw man. When in doubt, check the license plate, but hey, that's just me.

Haha, I've definitely done this. I was talking with my friend, not paying attention, the driver's door unlocked (so I thought) and I stood next to the car pressing my remote a few times wondering why it wouldn't open the other doors. Then I looked in the back seat, realized it wasn't my car, and my friend and I walked two rows over to my car, laughing. Very much a blonde moment, though in my defense I had only had the car a few weeks by this point, lol.

YDI for not remembering where you parked dumbass. Unless the cars are right next to each other, this shouldn't be a problem. And being on the other side of the lot, you're a dumbass, dumbass.

Someone with an identical car parked three spots away from mine one time. Fortunately, I figured it out when the lights wouldn't flash. However, a whole parking lot? You can't be bright.
