Today, I decided to splurge and get valet parking at a fancy restaurant. I got out of the car and gave the man my keys and watched as he slowly backed my car into another car. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had my car valeted at my hotel. The manager came out, took my keys, and said the car would be waiting for me in an hour. I was then forced to watch from the lobby as the "manager" sped off downtown. FML
Today, I went out with my girlfriend to a restaurant. After parking up next to a badly parked Audi, I commented, “Typical shit parking by an Audi driver.” Unbeknownst to me, the owner was walking to his car at the exact same moment. FML
Today, I went to a fancy restaurant. I was coming right from work and brought a change of clothes with me. I parked in an empty corner of the parking lot to change. As I was pulling my pants up, I noticed that I was facing an apartment complex where an old guy was watching me from his balcony. FML
Today, I tried to impress my date by confidently parallel parking on a busy street. I hit the curb twice, stalled the car, and somehow set off my alarm. Then I locked the keys inside while it screamed. We stood there in silence while people watched. FML
Today, I was trying to do a nice thing and let my friend's mom borrow my car. I went to move my mom's car that was parked behind me so that I could get my car out, and then proceeded to back into my dad's new company car. FML
Today, I went on a date. We met in the parking lot of a restaurant. As I approached his car he took one look at me, said "Nope", and drove off. FML
Today, leaving the restaurant I work in, the car next to mine was very crookedly parked. I had a hard time backing out. It turned out the whole restaurant was watching me, and they all started to clap as I drove away. FML
Today, at a restaurant, I noticed a really hot girl leaving with her friend. A few minutes later they came back, laughing uncontrollably, and announced that some moron forgot to put on their parking brake and the car was rolling into the full parking lot. It was my car. They watched me chase it. FML
Today, I thought I'd finally mastered the art of parallel parking. Feeling proud of myself, I got out of the car to admire my handiwork, only to realise I'd parked halfway onto the sidewalk and completely blocked the entrance to a cafe. I had to sheepishly move my car while enduring the glares of annoyed pedestrians. FML
Today, I backed my car into a parked car in a parking lot. Not only did I back into a parked car, but it was the ONLY parked car there. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Hopefully the valet pays for the damages.

I took my car to the dealer for an oil change once. When I went to pick up the car they were all "hush-hush" about it and finally the manager came out and told me the mechanic backed a truck into my car and tore the front end off. They paid the whole thing and gave me a crappy rental. But that front panel was the nicest thing on the car for years.

Step 1: get name of horrible valet person Step 2: get car keys back Step 3: demand a refund Step 4: find manager/owner if at all possible (basically anyone who's in charge) Step 4 1/2: take lots of pictures of damage and horrible valet's name tag... Etc. Step 5: demand a free meal for you and the other car's owner Step 6: enjoy meal Step 7: threaten to sue establishment/ horrible valet person/ both Step 8: sue Step 9: bathe in money You deserve it :D B)

You remind me of one of the crazy Walmart shoppers who sues for slipping on a small puddle of water while the employee was walking back with the caution sign. Not every instance of accidents call for a lawsuit.

A few years back, my parents went to a restaurant and used valet parking, which they usually do in crowded parking lots. The valet, being a college kid just trying to make some extra cash, clearly should have been working a job with less responsibility; he left my dad's Infiniti unattended with the keys in the ignition and the door swung wide open. Needless to say, somebody merely got in and drove off. Additionally, he was so worried about getting in trouble, he panicked and didn't even call the police after it happened until my parents came back from their meal. This, my friends, is why I will never use a valet.

This is why I never use valet. A friend of mine (real rich ************. I'm talking like owns his own jet kind of rich) took his dad's Bentley to the valet once at I think the Borgata in Atlantic City. The valet took the car for a joyride and ended up totaling it. On the bright side, now they get free suites every time they go to AC (not that they couldn't afford it to begin with)

I probably wouldve had a stress induced heart attack watching that happen. FYL for sure
