Today, I got a flat tire. The spare was also flat, so I had no other choice but to walk home. I got to my house and realized I'd left the front door key and garage clicker in my car 5 miles away. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I left home to go to work, only to find that my car had a flat tyre. No problem, I thought, I'll just change it. That's when I discovered that I'd left my spare tyre at the mechanic's last time I had a flat. 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 myself out of my car. While walking home to retrieve the spare, I realized I locked my house keys inside the house this morning. Now I must decide whether to break into my house or car. FML
Today, I woke up and went down to the park for a walk. I later realized I'd forgotten to bring the house keys with me, so I got stuck waiting until somebody opened the door for me. FML
Today, with 3 miles left of a 16-mile bike ride, I got a flat tire and had to push my bike back to my car. FML
Today, while driving home, I realized I forgot my house key. Luckily, when I arrived home, someone had already broken into my house. Guess I didn't need the key. FML
Today, I came back from a 700-mile round trip. I hit a massive pothole I couldn't avoid and blew out a tire and bent my rim. I was less than a mile from my house. 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, I got a rental car because my car needed new tires and I had a long drive ahead of me. Today, the rental car got a flat tire. FML
Today, as usual, I went to pick up my brother and sister from school in the rain. When we got to my truck, I realized I had locked us out. We had to walk home in the rain, only to find the spare house key had not been put back in its spot since the last time it was used. FML

That reminds me of an old adage: Lack of preparation on your part makes you look like an idiot. Hm...maybe that's not exactly how it goes. Hell, it's still true.

I think the old adage goes: Lack of Preparation H makes you a pain in the ass.

18 Oddly enough, that old adage reminds me of preparation H from Goldmember.

Bust out a window or 10 more miles of walking. Seem like a no-brainier to me, but I've got to consider the intellect I'm dealing with here. On a side note, try to make some friends.

Oh, CLIMB the drainPIPE! I could swear it was dig through the drainage ditch. That would explain a lot. Noor and her horrible directions. *Casuallly climbs out of ditch*

Oh? *Trips over foot* Clumsy me! I seem to have fallen back down into the ditch. Oh, look, this tunnel seems to have a light at the end. Hmm. Whips and chains. They must be for the bulldog! I'm sure I can find the owner an ask them for directions.

I think It would be actually 20 miles of walking. Once from his car to his house then back because he forgot the key then back home and then back to the car again.

Ok, so the garage door opener usually stays in the car. Got it, but the keys? Shouldn't they be in your pants pocket? Essential elements, keys, wallet, cell!?

Well OP you got 4 choices, break a window, kick the door down, climb through the chimney, or walk 5 miles there and back. Personally I would break the window, but then again I'm not you so maybe you wanna feel like a bad ass and kick your door down, either way good luck and happy trails
