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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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 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, I locked my keys in the house. I panicked so hard and immediately started kicking the door, desperate to get my keys. My boyfriend, who I forgot was staying over, woke up and opened the door right as I kicked it, and the door smashed into his face. 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, while driving, I realized I had left my phone on top of my car when I was getting in. Panicking, I drove back to look for it. I found it in the middle of the street, still intact. Yay! When I went back to my car, I noticed I had locked my door, and the keys were in the ignition. 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, 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
Today, I accidentally locked my car and house keys along with my phone in my car. Then I had to break into my own house looking for the spare. Someone called the police and I had to explain that I lived there. I forgot to grab the spare when I went to talk to the police officers I locked the door behind me. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That sucks... you must have a really old car or something, most modern cars won't lock the driver's door if the key is in the ignition.

who the hell forgets to take the keys out of the ignition?

I know it'd hurt, but I doubt slamming your hands in a door would be worth a scream. My mom slammed my fingers in when I was 6, wasn't enough to make me cry. But come on, the first habit you develop when driving is taking the damn keys of out the damn ignition.

lmao i've done that a million times, left my keys in the ignition. my old car was a '93 and the handle wabusted so the only way to actually lock it was the lock it from the inside, then close the door. when you don't actually need the keys to lock the car, it's easy to forget them. everyone knocking the OP probably never drove an old car.

this is one of those situations where the phrase "no pain no gain" doesn't apply. FYL

That sucks. I wish cars still had the keypad on the door. I'll miss that when I get my next one.

couldn't you just pull the handle to stop it from closing rather than trying to put your hand in the door?

Wow you must have originally shut your door really hard to slam your hand in it when you tried to stop it from closing? How exactly does that work? I've had my hand slammed in a car door twice. But both times the door was literally slammed shut. The second time it was an old el camino and actually broke my hand. (Neither of theses times was my fault, both times I was getting into the car and an older sibling slammed the door shut.) So on the part of you slamming your hand in the door I feel your pain. I'm just confused as to how you did it.
