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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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, 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
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 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 locked my keys in my car. I had a spare key in my wallet, that I also left in the car. 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, my car keys decided to play hide and seek. Good news: I found them under my bed. Bad news: it was after my job interview was scheduled to start. FML
Today, my toddler thought it would be funny to hide my car keys. After searching for hours, I found them in his toy box. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Didn't you consider checking in your car to begin with? Sorry for the week long nuisance OP, but YDI.

At least your car wasn't stolen.

Live and learn and make a spare copy before you misplace them again.

Unless their car is like mine and a duplicate costs $250.00. Sometimes making a spare isn't an option.

It's not that easy! A "spare" for my car is also $250.00!

why didn't your car's come with 2 sets?

If you can afford the car, you should be able to afford a key... Unless your car is worth more than your home!

If you go to a dealer it's £200+. I went to Tesco key cutter and got one for £17. It doesn't have the remote or anything, but it works just fine.

The problem is keys like mine with a radio transmitter in it. You can cut a key with the exact same grooves and it will only open the doors, not start the engine.

I'm imaging you moving furniture around, emptying out desk drawers, and even checking the fridge.

After of searching everywhere else? You didn't consider going back to the car to check? Lazy...

There's nothing more uncomfortable than trying to act natural after you do something that stupid. Trust me, I'm speaking from experience.

You're just lucky your car wasn't stolen

Oh, it almost was. But the thief, just like OP, couldn't find the keys sitting right in front of him, and didn't know how to hot wire a car. So he gave up too.

That's exactly why I stick to my Nimbus 2000. No keys necessary.

Nimbus is too mainstream. I'm getting a firebolt.

**** y'all's brooms, I trained me a Hungarian Horntail! I MAKE my parking spaces.

It's still too mainstream - I use the one I clean my room with.

Sorry but,YDI OP. You always have to check where you least expect it to be. I would have looked everywhere.

Do you also misplace your glasses when you were wearing them the whole time?
