Today, I parked my car in the company lot and walked down the street to a mandatory company training. While I was at the training, everyone back at the office decided to leave early and locked the company lot. My car is now stuck there for the night and I'm walking home. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I walked to work. I later discovered that my husband had parked my car in a no-parking area. My job is towing cars. I had to tow my own car. FML
Today, I got locked out of a building that I work in (I work night shifts). I locked my phone, wallet, and car keys in the building. I had no way of contacting my boss or getting a ride. I had to walk home at night, almost got hit by a car full of dudes yelling slurs, and had a woman scream at me from the passenger seat of a car. FML
Today, I found my company car wrecked in a ditch. Apparently, leaving it parked on an icy hill all night was a bad idea. I have to pick up my manager from the airport. FML
Today, my boss reported to the police that a suspicious car has been parked outside the store late at night. I walked outside and my car was gone. He had my car towed. FML
Today, I started my first day of work at my new job. They had a section in the parking lot for employees only, so I parked there. Apparently, my boss didn't recognize my car, and had it towed. FML
Today, my car died after I got off work at 1am. All of my coworkers had already left and nobody could come out to jump my car. I had to walk the 3 miles home in a torrential downpour. FML
Today, moments after leaving early, my boss emails me asking if I'm in the office. After an illegal U-turn, running a stop sign, parking in a visitor spot, and sneaking back to my desk, I find out she was locked out of the building but had since found her keys and let herself back in. FML
Today, I discovered that I had lost my phone. I drove to the campus to try and find it, and parked in a gated lot where you pay when you leave. All the buildings were closed, so I had to go home. That's when I realized that I didn't have my wallet to get my car out. And no phone to call a ride. FML
Today, my car was stolen from the parking garage, the same one I work at as a security guard. FML
Today, I was sitting in my car waiting my shift to start. I must've fallen asleep because I woke up to a call from my boss firing me. I was in the parking lot. FML

If they leave early and notice some cars, they shouldn't lock the lot. Especially if they sent you away to something mandatory.

You definitely should have called the cops. I'm pretty sure your company technically stole your car. Also **** them for sending you to training on a day when everyone else got off early. That's some bullshit. Sorry OP

Hope your home isn't too far away, but ya I don't think they should've locked up the place if your car was still in there

That system seems like an odd way to do things, it seems like it could lead to issues, such as this one. All the company parking lots I know are always essentially locked, but they give every employee either a garage door opener, a pass code, or a key, so they can come and go as they please. I'd be pretty angry with my work place, they should have seen that a car was still there. I'd phone whoever locks the lot to come and unlock it, they inconvenienced you, you can inconvenience them.

Exactly this. I would've called the boss and told him to get back and unlock the lot!

Couldn't you call someone to pick you up? I hate walking alone, let alone at night.

Everybody? Or do you mean, everybody else?

Well at least your car was secure for the evening.
