Today, I freaked out when I couldn't get my bathroom door open. After ten minutes of panic when thinking about how I'd be stuck there for at least 8 hours until my roommate would get home, and another five mentally going over survival skills, I realized that I had forgotten to unlock the door. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was in the bathroom at work. The lock on the stall door broke, and I couldn't open it. I was all alone and I started having a mini panic attack. After several minutes of frantically trying to fix the lock and hyperventilating, I realized I could just crawl under the door. FML
Today, I was in a store using the only bathroom there. After I was done, I realized I couldn't open the door. Panicked it locked me in, I banged on the door, and screamed for help. The security and a whole group of people gathered, only to find that I was pulling the door instead of pushing it. FML
Today, I woke up in the middle of the night and had to go to the bathroom in my dorm. After coming out of the bathroom, I realized I'd let my auto-locking door close behind me. I had to go through the whole dorm, sprint across campus in my bra and underwear, and ask someone for my spare key. FML
Today, I locked myself out of the house I was house-sitting. An hour later, and my fifth attempt at climbing the fence, I figured I'd try the door one more time. Turns out I was turning the handle the wrong way and the door wasn't locked in the first place. FML
Today, I spent minutes trying to open my apartment door before realizing I was one floor above my own. My terrified neighbor watched me struggle with my keys through their peephole the entire time, until he yelled "I'M CALLING 911!" and I realized where I was. FML
Today, I was locked out of my house. After hours of trying to break the door, I found out I accidentally left a window open. The door, however, still needs to be replaced. FML
Today, I was fed up with things being taken from my room so I installed a key-locking handle on my door. I installed everything but the door knobs, and because I was worried that I would put the two of them on backwards, I closed the door to check. I'm now locked in my room. FML
Today, I was convinced I hadn't locked up properly when leaving work, and almost had a panic attack at the train station. I went all the way back into work, to find I had in fact locked up properly. It made me nearly two hours late home. This isn't the first time I've done this. FML
Today, I locked myself out of my dorm room. I walked across campus, shoe-less and in nothing but my bathrobe, to find someone who could let me back in. Turns out I hadn't even shut the door properly and so it never actually locked. I can still hear the guy laughing at me. FML
Today, I went about pet-proofing my house because my new kitten is exploring every nook and cranny. I locked up everything dangerous. Then, while trying to put a safety lock on the pantry/cold room, I managed to lock myself inside. I had to yell for my roommate to let me out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's 'pseudo' Gary.. At least spell correctly while attempting to sound intelligent

Gary, not that I really care what you think about me, but both Jane and I are really, truly actual adults with real spouses. I have a real daughter too (see my profile pic). I think that makes us actual adults, not suto, uh, pseudo-adults.

why would you lock the door if no one is even home? or... you lock the door every time you use the bathroom! how do you forget something so simple? I mean we all have our moments but dangggg that's bad!

I know right? Why even bother locking it! Also, unlocking a door would be second nature... Anyways, pretty sure you NZers should love rugby not so much soccer :)

Some people just lock the door out of reflex and then don't realize what they've done. Still, that was pretty stupid not to at least try to unlock the door once she realized that she couldn't open it. Confusion for 15 seconds is understandable. Confusion for 15 minutes is beyond epic failure.

Haha I know right! I can imagine OP trying to remember how to light a fire with two sticks and friction, but then realizes he doesn't have sticks, or food to cook >.< Thanks =]

means down to ****, marinus. people usually text it to other people instead of Saying "wanna have sex"
ThePaperDragon 31
That's "down to f***", Marinus.
marinus_fml 20
haha thanks. I don't dee how #64 or I are "DTF"

Gees can't people compliment each other without it being about sex? Everyone's afraid to say "you look nice", or whatever because people are going to say you're a pedo or gay. Marinus has nice muscle definition on his back and may be an attractive guy and one can say that without wanting to go to bed with him.

145,183, I feel it is only right to inform you that 110 is using a stolen photo, you may see that, among many other, photos of that girl on the Internet, 110's profile claims to be from America, while that girl in the picture is from Melbourne,Australia.
