Today, after getting home from the supermarket, I went to unlock the door so my dad could carry the groceries in. No matter how hard or how many different ways I tried, the lock wouldn't shift. My dad eventually grabbed the keys, twisted once, and after the door unlocked, called me an idiot. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 spent 30 minutes trying to unlock my garage door. After shouting several profanities, my roommate walked up to me, turned the key the other way, and unlocked it. FML
Today, my doorknob broke. While trying to impress my dad and show that I can fix things for girls, I somehow managed to lock myself in my room, with the doorknob on the other side of the door. When my dad finally heard my screams, he let me out. He had to take the whole door off. FML
Today, I wanted nothing more than to go home and get into bed. While I was unlocking my front door, the flimsy key snapped off inside the lock. A locksmith was called out, who did nothing but sadistically guffaw at my misfortune and crack sarcastic jokes as he undid the lock. 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 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
Today, I went to Wal-Mart with my mom. She kept telling me to put my keys away so I wouldn't lose them. After a few times, I got annoyed and yelled at her. When we got back to her house, I realized I'd lost my keys. FML
Today, I couldn't open my car door from the inside. I rang my father-in-law in a panic and he opened it from the outside for me. Then he asked why I just didn't roll down the window and do it myself. FML
Today, I was in a store using the only bathroom there. After I was done, I realized I couldn't open the door. Panicked it locked me in, I banged on the door, and screamed for help. The security and a whole group of people gathered, only to find that I was pulling the door instead of pushing it. 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

I hate those moments where I swear I'm doing something right, and someone comes along and does exactly what I was doing and succeeds after just 1 try. Them feels OP. I know them.

Don't worry, you're not the only one . The struggle is definitely real when it comes to the simplest of things like locks for a door haha

It's like when your trying to open a stuck jar and no matter how hard you twist the lid or how many ways you try, it's just won't come off, then someone else comes along and opens it first go. :S You probably just loosened up whatever was jammed and would have got it next go.

YES EXACTLY xD I hate it and then the person looks at you like you're an idiot and there's no way to defend yourself except to say "I loosened it...." With a dumbfounded look on your face.

I knew parents have magical powers. Remember how your mom always finds stuff you can't seem to find anywhere?

Sometimes parents have their own tricks to get a door open and it becomes a habit and they just don't notice. That's how my house key is anyway. I'm the only one that can use mine because there's a huge bend in it, and I have some kind of trick I can't explain. And each of my parents can only use their own key as well. Maybe you need a new door knob. I'm pretty sure that's what our problem is.

I live for the moments when I am on the other side of the fence, and seem to have powers that make others look like mentally challenged toddlers. However, I am gracious about it and save my sarcasm for when the tables turn. Then, at least I have a come back when I fail miserably at something else in front of the same person.
