Today, my car key clicker wouldn't let me in. After a few frustrating minutes, I realized that, besides electronic capabilities, it's also an actual key that fits in a hole to unlock my door. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after numerous attempts, my car door still wouldn't unlock. After going ballistic on the lock, the key broke off inside. I then realized it wasn't my car. FML
Today, I tried to unlock my house's front door by hitting the unlock button on my car keys. It took me some time to realize my mistake. FML
Today, I locked my keys in my car. I had a spare key in my wallet, that I also left in the car. 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, the little bell in my car that lets you know your keys are still in your ignition went out. How did I find out? I locked myself out of both my house and my car. 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 locked my keys in my car. After looking for the spare key for hours, we called our insurance company, who then sent a "locksmith" with a wedge and a bar to open my car. All he did was break the driver and passenger doorhandles. My stuff is still inside. FML
Today, I broke my key unlocking my dorm room. When I pushed the door open in frustration, the door opened with no problem. Turns out it was unlocked. FML
Today, I locked my keys in the car while the car was running because I got out to get the parking ticket attached to my windshield. FML
Today, I locked my keys in my car. Good thing I went to Lowe's to make spares, which are also now locked in the car. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well if I open my car that way, the alarm goes off and I can't start the car. It only accepts electronic unlock

That's one of the stupidest ideas I've ever heard.

... is it sad that that has happened to me once...? >.>

There was a story I saw on the news that featured a woman who had locked herself in the car. They played the recording of the conversation she had with the 911 operator. It was hysterical because she sounded so panicked, yet completely sober.

Wow this is happening to so many people! I was catching up on my FML reading, and, I swear I saw a comment on an FML about this same thing... Someone commented under #1 talking about a lady whose clicker died and called someone to break into it... I wonder if it's the same person...rotf I'm looking at it right now on my iPod. That was under the fml about the Canadian who double-tapped on the picture in a picture album to try to zoom in forgetting it was not digital... but that was back in early feb. (double checked, the 10th of Feb. Not the same exact thing, but close. why are so many people forgetting about physical keys, and getting locked out of their cars because of dead batteries?)

Haha, I think I saw that news story! And #60, I saw that comment too. It would be so funny if the same person posted the fml. It doesn't have to really happen on the same day you posted it...

I can't open my car with my key either. Unless i didn't enable my security system when i locked it the last time. My car beeper thing died on me once after work and I tried to use just the key. The alarm went off and I tried to start the engine anyway, but it wouldn't start. Luckily I work close to a Target, so I walked to it and bought a new battery. I keep an extra battery in my purse now for whenever this happens again. I might not be so lucky to be near a store.

This is not sad or a stupid mistake. It is totally understandable that if you use the same action every day for a preticular reaction to occur, that it would take a few minutes for anyone to switch gears and realize something like, the clicker you've been using every day as a clicker is also a key. Thumbs up if you've done this before, show a little support for OP.

Car key clickers killed the car key hole spot.
nuhuh 1
Unfortunately when it comes to my car I am...old thing's alarm goes off if I use the key before clicking the unlock button. Lock and set alarm is in one click, otherwise I risk leaving the keys in the car by locking from the inside. Also can't start it if alarm is engaged.

More stupid? Isn't that stupider!? Lawl Oh wait..
TSN619 7
Actually it's more stupid. Stupider isn't a word. It's like when people say worser.

#47 they realized that.... Hence the "oh wait" part

Not really. It could be just a ditzy person. Not proof at all that technology is making anyone dumber.

Is it really so hard?
Pentium_4 27
i know. but i may be biased, never owned a vehicle with fancy buttons to unlock my doors!
bettyc4 26
It's not like the old hanger technique , the key is MADE for the hole

That's what she said........

Haha my mum did that once and she got pissed at me because I just stood there laughing and I didn't tell her she actually had a key she could insert Into the car

#56 Well, we are human after all, but you have to try it one more time harder, better, faster, stronger!

7, great comment! (: I love that song! The first time I heard it, it was so suck in my mind that I continued to hear it days after, even when my radio was off. :P

The amount of effort put into this comment astounds me, but... I think it was worth it!

This is just as bad as all the elderly who refuse to use modern technology.
TheJashinist 8
Well, it is the elderly people's choice if they want to be modernised.
anencephalic 14
I didn't think that this would be necessary, but I trust all of you understand that I'm speaking about the elderly who refuse to use modern technology, not all senior citizens.

It's sad how people rely on technology nowadays.
Pelreskovich 11
We're following the path of every science fiction hypothesis of robot takeover out there. Oh the misery!
b0ngs 7
Wow...thats pretty sad. We should rely less on technology and actually do things the right way
cosmosis 12
"work smarter, not harder". Relying less on technology is not the answer but more so understanding that its not always the solution! Stupidity is the problem in today's world.
narrowords 18
19, nicely put. Also, 13--what is doing things "the right way"? Using a key to unlock your car is not really making a big statement against technology. Walking or riding a bicycle might be.
