Today, I decided to surprise my boyfriend by taking his new car to the automatic car wash. As soon as the water started, I realized that I forgot to close the sunroof. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I took my car to the automatic wash for the first time in years. I didn’t realize you’re supposed to remember to close the sunroof. I now own a freshly-cleaned car interior, soaked seats, and one very wet, traumatized dog. FML
Today, I noticed that someone smeared "wash me" into the grime of my car. I decided to take it to get a wash. I pulled up, put my vehicle in neutral, and kicked back as it slowly started to move. You never realize how long it takes a sun roof to close until water is dumping on your head. FML
Today, I was washing my car, and I decided to be kind and to wash my elderly neighbor's car. As it turns out, her sunroof was open. FML
Today, I took my car into a car wash. I guess it was a bad idea to do it with my dog in the car, because he freaked out, started scrambling around, and ended up pissing on everything, me included. FML
Today, on my way home from work, I went to the car wash. When the spray jets hit the car, my dog jumped out of his crate, into the front seat, and onto a button lowering both back windows. I got both an exterior and interior wash. FML
Today, it was the hottest day of the year so I opened my sun roof. The hottest day of the year was followed by the biggest storm of the year. I forgot to close my sun roof and my car is now flooded. FML
Today, in order to save money, instead of going to the car wash, I decided to wash my car at home. While sponging the roof, I slipped on the soapy driveway and ended up sliding under the car, getting soaked and covered in suds. My neighbor saw the whole thing and couldn't stop laughing. FML
Today, I discovered I'd left my coffee on top of my car when it fell through the sun roof whilst I was driving, showering me. FML
Today, I discovered that the seal on my driver's door is defective. I made this discovery when I got rained on while I was getting my car washed. FML
Today, I finally got my new car delivered to my home. After clicking some pics, I was walking around it, just admiring it, and tripped. Both sets of keys fell down the storm water drain. It rained heavily last night and this morning, so the water inside is still flowing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

How do you not realize that beforehand? That's a nice gesture and all, but you should've been more careful in double-checking.

At least you were trying to do something nice. Good luck explaining it to him! F his L.

heck of a way to test the relationship. Hopefully you two last and it eventually becomes a funny story you can share. Eventually something would have happened to take the new off a car. Someone dings it, a piece of gravel cracks the glass or chips the paint. It's inevitable. Once you get that initial horror over with you can relax because it's now just a great car, instead of a perfect car to be hyper vigilant about. It could have been worse someone could have crashed into you, totaled the car and killed you in the process. He just has a damp car instead. Spray bottle of water and paper towels to rinse any soap residue off surfaces then Shop vac and a box of desiccant and it should be good. Next time give him a gift card for a car wash or detailing. ;)

It doesn't say anywhere that OP didn't have permission to borrow it. To further shame her and declare her actions worse because of your assumptions isn't fair to the OP. It is just as possible he let her borrow it to run errands for the day and to thank him she tried to get the car cleaned before she returned it. We don't know so we can't accuse her of made up offenses. Poor girl is getting piled on bad enough as it is for her good intentions gone wrong.

Usually it's the thought that counts, but that's not the case this time

automatic car washes ruin cars. don't ever use it on a car you care for and especially not a brand new car...

Why do people act like they don't make mistakes? Like for all of you ganging up on OP like are you so perfect that you haven't made some mistake in your life like calm down. Granted it was a bit empty-minded it was a simple mistake, and I'm pretty sure OP feels bad enough about it. Depending on the automatic car wash, isn't there somebody who controls it? Maybe OP got it to stop in time. Who knows?

they are ganging up because, unless someone asks you directly, you dont just do something to their car, no matter how good the intention. A mans car is basically sacred to most men who like cars. dont touch it, dont drive it, dont even look at it wrong. and in addition its likely the persons only mode of transport, which means freedom and transport too and from work. being without your car is a really shitty situation if you live anywhere with poor public transport, and the benefit of a clean car does not offset the cost if they crash or otherwise wreck the car (see OP). Dont mess with stuff that is not yours without asking. this goes double for concert tshirts, dont be cute and make them into a quilt for him/her without asking, yes its cute, but you just wrecked all their memories by not asking first.

A sunroof is just a window in your roof. A moon roof is the kind that opens

Actually sometimes they both open. A moon roof is a glass panel that lets light in even when closed

Just don't be surprised when he breaks up with you. F his L for dating you in the first place. Poor car.
