Today, whilst heading out the door to go to work, my lanyard got caught on the doorknob inside, and I watched my keys swing back inside as the door closed behind me. It was locked. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I tried to act nonchalant in front of my neighbors, and swing my lanyard around with my keys on it. It flew off my finger and into their yard. FML
Today, as I stepped out the door and heard it lock behind me, I realized I had forgotten both my keys and my baby inside. There's no other way in. 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, as I was closing my car door, I realized I had left the keys in the ignition. Not wanting to lock myself out, I reached to stop the door from closing. Not only did I scream when the door slammed on my hand, but in my furious pain, I leaned on the door, locking my keys inside. 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, I was looking for my condo keys, thinking I had left them in my mailbox on the first floor the night before. Leaving to check, I realized I'd forgot to take them out of my door when I had come in, leaving them in the keyhole. 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, in a rush to get out of my house to go to a doctor's appointment, I closed the door behind me without having my house or car keys on me. Sadly, it took me less than a minute to break into my own house. FML
Today, I lost my keys. My roommate locked me out, then yelled at me when I made her come home to let me in. I tore my room apart searching for them, and even went out to search my locker room. When I got home, I glanced at my wall only to find my keys hanging on the hook I set up specifically for them. FML
Today, I was about to go out and get some groceries, but the moment I slammed the door I realized my keys were still inside. My inner caveman instincts told me to immediately break down the door, so now I have to get a doorknob replacement instead of food. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

There's these US_$40 combination-button "door-key safes" (aka "lock boxes") that real estate agents lock around door-knobs that allow one to access a house key (or anything else) within it for showing houses without having to keep a separate, large, loaded-up key-ring. I keep spare apt, garage, & car door keys in mine.

Something you wear around your neck got caught on your doorknob? Either the strap is way too big, or you're really, really short.

I have a lanyard on my keys and I don’t wear it around my neck. I prefer to hold that instead of the metal keys.

I have a lanyard that I loop around my belt loop and put in my pocket. the worst that happens is the strap gets caught and I have to unlock the door to leave. They could have had it in their hand and or swung back. I've gotten pockets caught on doorknobs before many times too, so that's not a stretch.

Always lock your door from the outside. I've learned that the hard way.
