Today, my wife and I were having a fight, when she grabbed my car keys and threw them over into the neighbors overgrown junk yard. My car is a restored '59 Belvedere and the keys can't be replaced. I've been looking for hours and I still can't find them. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after a week of looking for my car keys and being forced to drag my family around on public transportation, my wife found the keys in our car's ignition. FML
Today, I couldn't get to work because I couldn't find my car keys. It turns out, my mother took them and put them "somewhere safe." She can't remember where they are. FML
Today, after being without my car keys for two days, I finally got a locksmith to unlock my car on the off chance I'd left my keys in there. $170 later, the car was open, but I didn't find my keys. Frustrated, I threw the paperwork in the garbage... where I spotted my keys. FML
Today, my auto-repairman told me my heavy mass of keys was bad for the ignition switch and suggested I separate my house and car keys. I began to carry my car keys and lock the house keys in my glovebox. My car was stolen. I now have car keys but no car and a house with no house key. 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, after locking my keys in the car and waiting three hours for my mom to bring me my spare, I reached into my bag only to find my keys. FML
Today, I reached into my pocket and found my mom's car keys. I'm a four hour drive away, and she obviously can't come to pick them up. FML
Today, my keys disappeared out of my car door during the 50 foot walk to the trash can. When I finally went to security after trying to find them, they said someone drove off with my car right as I walked in the door. FML
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 locked my keys in my car. I had a spare key in my wallet, that I also left 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!

If a guy threw his wife's stuff over, the FML community would be telling her to leave him(which is good advice). However, since it's a woman who threw her husband's stuff, it must be ok. Nice double standard. Anyone who resorts to throwing/breaking possessions is not worth staying with, man or woman. Adults use words, not physicality.

Show me these comments that support your claim then. Otherwise, I'll assume you have a severe case of confirmation bias. Also, I like how you used such a strong argument by randomly calling me a misogynist....oh wait that's just ad hominem.

The Justice League uses physicality, and they're the best adults ever.

Why don't you find an FML where an identical situation happened except that the genders were reversed, and bring the comments to support your claim? Or perhaps stop stirring the shit pot? I don't think anyone brought up a gender issue here.

Where emotions are involved tempers flare. He should forgive her because if she had meant to be spiteful she would have keyed his car. Clearly she expected him to find the keys and just be annoyed for a little while.

Any key can be replaced. Or get an original ignition from the Internet
AngrySailor 17
97 the "original ignition from the Internet" ISN'T THE ORIGINAL IGNITION FROM THE CAR! This FML is crushing to anyone who knows anything about vintage cars. FYL OP

powerhunger... Your name really suits you by the way... I don't think anyone here thinks what the woman did is ok, so I've no idea where you're getting that from? You only have to look at the amount of "I agree, your life sucks" compared to YDI to see that.

The only thing more dangerous than a woman scorned is a man who has someone mess with his vehicle!

Sorry OP, but at least your wife has taught you not to mess with her
NeatNit 33
I wonder what the fight was about, though I doubt OP will share (too private). Use a metal detector, and be glad she didn't key the car and throw the keys down the drain.

A metal detector in a huge junkyard? VERY smart idea.

"Whoopee! I've found them! Oh wait.. Just a bean tin :("

A metal detector...in a junk yard....seriously?

It's a start

1) Try posting the actual comments and explaining how they prove your point rather than just listing them. It would make way for an actual discussion.? 2) 14 comments are the general consensus? 3) I'll call out a logical fallacy when one exists 4) Speaking of logical fallacies, you're allowed to generalize against men("I've seen your type before") but when I make a comment about women it's sexism? Thanks for proving my initial point.
CoffeeChickBlows 13
Obvious Powerhungry troll is obvious.

76, 1) Explain how they are condemning the woman then 2) Translation: there are only 14 comments but I can't let him know that, so I'll just call him lazy 3) So what you said before wasn't ad hominem? Right. 4) I like to stir shit? You're judging this from a sample size of 2 comments? You seem to have a tendency to judge things based on small sample sizes. Your last sentence basically says: I can't form a decent argument so I'll just repeat what I said earlier without explaining it. 79, yep, when you irrationally disagree with someone but can't form a counter argument, call them a troll. That always works.
How_you_doin 10
shit! you have totally lost me!! your starting to eat your own crap...just accept defeat and go home powerhunger...go hoooommmmeeeee!!!
HKCgrimmjow 15
To be fair here guys, power hungry, you have a point, I've seen it before, women often scold men for things they don't like, then when men find something they don't like, they cannot blame women for it. Unfortunately you should retract your earlier statement of confirmation bias as this is what your doing. As for youaremyprey , calm down, no need to fight, he's fresh blood! Welcome him to the community. We all make mistakes.

Try using a metal detector? Good luck finding them, OP.
reaxion 25
Junk yard probably means it is full of old vehicles, so a metal detector would be all but useless.
jnanderson 16
Or go out there with a magnet. Won't beep at everything, but will pick up smaller things
annie_nk 23
What were fighting about that made her do such a horrible thing?!
mif_fml 27
He gives too much attention to the car instead of her.
Iceman225 11
Typical woman's thinking.
svalaedgren 18
She's probably going to regret that.
XxcaitanatorXx 12
your wife is a bitch
Merylwen 24
You can't say that when you don't even know what they were fighting about. Plus she probably didn't think the keys would be so hard to retrieve.
license2chill 5
13, how about contain the fight and not going physical, i know it's hard to control the anger at the heat of moment, but breaking/tossing shit doesn't help the case at all, it only makes it worse
Risho96 10
She probably wasn't thinking.
XxcaitanatorXx 12
Ya I guess
Iceman225 11
^^^^Dude, Youre like 5, you're not supposed to know those kind of words.
zero4life123 7
Hey op if you can't find your keys most of those cars can be start with a screw driver or some other tool that can fit in there.
cornedbeef2016 5
You don't shove a screw driver into a classic. Just no.
beastiness 14
Ya you can its called punching the ignition and it ruins it, my recommendation would be to see about a new ignition if he can't find em
NoMore_CoolNames 14
102-No, it's a classic. You don't subject it to that kind of treatment
TheDrifter 24
It's not a matter of can, it's about shouldn't. Ever. Mismatched or reproduction ignition and locks puts a rather sizable dent in the value of a classic. Especially if OP was trying to keep it all original. An all original, numbers matching car is worth twice to ten times what an aftermarket restoration is.
zero4life123 7
Good lord. With any cars made before 1972 had a real basic turn switch in the ignition anything the same thick ness or width would be fine and wouldn't harm the car at all, probably using the key would do more damage. I own 3 different classics (68 mustang 69 charger, 69 camaro. I can use my charger key to turn on my mustang, and same way around. Don't question me on classic cars.
beastiness 14
I wasn't saying do it I said it would ruin the car and yes after factory ignition would wreck the value but at least it would be drivable

I'm always against a man hitting a woman unless in self defense but I could almost understand you doing so with her...
deathy94 14
So op should hit her because she threw he's keys? Seems legit. Besides we don't know why they were fighting, for all we know he could have deserved this.
awkward611 26
I'm not saying he should but I could almost understand if he did I mean whatever he did how immature do you have to be to do that you don't mess with a car like that...
acerredrum 23
I couldn't almost understand it. This may be a difficult concept to grasp since we've only been taught it since we were two but, "Don't hit." Unless someone hit you first there is no reason to lay your hands on them.
Wowxoxo 17
What's more important, your wife and her safety or your vintage car? Don't hit her. Talk to her; maybe you'd make her feel guilty and she'd help you look for the keys OP
Chellybelly92 14
I you are going to hit someone over materialistic things you are just as immature.
Prolux_fml 23
89- materialistic things? A classic '59 belvedere isn't just a little tinker toy that you can play with. Now I'm not saying OP should go all UFC on his wife, but a classic like that isn't just a "materialistic thing".
skrillexFTW47 5
Why don't couples just fight it out with words? Why do humans always incorporate throwing, breaking and smashing things? It blows my mind.
dawnimus 21
Instinct, pretty much. Throwing/breaking things can be a demonstration of our strength and fitness, both of which were used to ascertain dominance in societies long before reasoning and conversation came into existence.
jjmiller1001 17
it's more fun that way
CoGhostRider 31
Words can be more hurtful that's why. You can replace a blender but you can't take back a single word.
ironik69 31
Not to mention, when one persons vocabulary is significantly larger than the others. The other person won't understand and that just makes things worse.
