Today, I locked myself out of the house I was house-sitting. An hour later, and my fifth attempt at climbing the fence, I figured I'd try the door one more time. Turns out I was turning the handle the wrong way and the door wasn't locked in the first place. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was locked out of my house. After hours of trying to break the door, I found out I accidentally left a window open. The door, however, still needs to be replaced. FML
Today, I got locked out of my house. After trying unsuccessfully to jimmy the lock, I managed to climb in through the kitchen window. I soon found out I had an effect on the door after all; it won't open at all any more, even with the right key. 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, 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 was in my backyard. When I wanted to come back in the house, I tried to open the sliding door. I knew that my brother locked me out so I banged on the door very hard, causing the glass to break. It turns out that the door wasn't locked. FML
Today, I managed to lock myself out of my house again. My only option was crawling through the dog door. I managed it once before, but I must've put on weight because this time I got stuck halfway. My neighbour came over to “see if everything was OK.” He then helped push me through. FML
Today, I was fed up with things being taken from my room so I installed a key-locking handle on my door. I installed everything but the door knobs, and because I was worried that I would put the two of them on backwards, I closed the door to check. I'm now locked in my room. 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've managed to lock myself in my own bedroom. It won't open no matter what I do. FML
Today, I locked myself out of my own shop. And I'm a locksmith. FML

When one way didn't work you didn't naturally try a different way?

That's why you have to violently try to turn the knob. Like you need to get in. And you hope that it will open.

18 - Posting an insulting comment, without proofreading for grammatical errors, is just ironic. Better luck next time.

41 - Not only that, the comment just didn't make sense in any way, shape or form.

Just curious, was this just a blond moment or does it happen all the time?

I'm a little ashamed the he was unable to scale a fence. If doors are to troublesome at least be skilled in other forms of entry.

Yeah, that sounds like a happy end to the story. Oh, and chill out a bit.

They were supposed to be highly intelligent and capable of communication on some level. Says Jurassic Park.

50- In Jurassic Park, they actually did open a (swinging) door to hunt down the kids, so technically, the viloceraptors were able to open a door when OP couldn't.

54- which was the joke. Something the average FML reader doesn't understand apparently, seeing all the thumbs down my comment received. Jesus, Even at 23 I'm old around here.

You shouldn't be house sitting if you don't know how to use a door...
supportcommand 17
Ok. So how tall is this fence that you failed 5 times at climbing ? And then not know to turn the knob the other direction. Don't tell the homeowners how stupid you are if you ever want to house sit for them again.

it's not about how high it is. some fences have very few places to hold on, making them nearly impossible to climb.
