Today, on my lunch break, I ran to the gas station, and threw some trash away on my way in. On my way out, I realized my keys were missing. Thinking I threw them away, and fearing that I'd be late returning to work, I tore through the disgusting trash only to find my keys on the seat of my car. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I went through my purse to see where my keys were. I found my house keys, but not my car keys, so I freaked out. When I remembered that I was driving, I felt stupid. 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, I lost my keys while at the supermarket. I franticly back-tracked through the store, asking everyone I saw along the way. They eventually showed up, right where I left them... in my unattended car, the engine still running. There was an announcement made over the PA system. FML
Today, I was at the gym. At the end of my workout, I realised I lost the bundle of keys I had in my pocket that contained the key to my locker with all my stuff. I panic and start looking for them. After an hour of desperate searching, I find them thrown in the bottom of the public toilet. Thanks. FML
Today, I was running late for an important job interview because I couldn't find my keys. I place the keys on my kitchen counter every day to prevent exactly this type of situation. After few minutes and missing my interview, I finally found my keys, in my hand. FML
Today, I spent five minutes sitting in my car, panicking and tearing my purse apart because I couldn't find my keys. I then found them. They were in the ignition, and the car was running. 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 dropped my keys in the sewer. The spare ones are inside my locked car. FML
Today, I spent an hour frantically searching for my car keys, turning the entire apartment upside down. After giving up and calling a locksmith, I found the keys… in the fridge. Because apparently I put my leftover pizza on top of them. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm going to hazard a guess and say "run to the gas station" is only an expression.

Should have checked the obvious places first... but apparently covert is overt for you.

When I first got my driving license, I realised that night after putting the shopping away that I'd lost it before it got to my wallet.. It wasn't in bf's car, it wasn't around the house, PANIC, searched through the bin in case in went out with the bags (shared house - disgusting)... I ended up having to order a new one. I found it a month ago, in the freezer, apparently I put it away with the shopping. Go figure. I wish I'd never had to search the bin. Fyl op.

Maybe your boss will smell you and guess you were rooting through the trash for food, and give you a raise out of pity. It's easier than asking him directly.

this is why I keep a lanyard on my keys and put them in my back pocket or my bag when I get out of the car. it helps.

I've definitely thrown my keys out before, so I feel your pain.. It's like locking your keys in the car, almost everybody accidentally does it at some point. Though, I would have definitely checked every possible other place first for sure.
