Today, I got a parking ticket. I put the ticket in my bag and accidentally left the bag in my friends car. When I returned, the car window was smashed, my bag was gone. I had to call the police department and ask them to send me a new ticket, on top of the $1000 or so I'd already lost. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to city hall to pay for a parking ticket. After returning to my truck, I found a parking ticket on my window. FML
Today, I gave my friend a ride to town so she wouldn't have to pay the $10 to park. While waiting to pick her up, I grabbed a bite to eat. Upon returning to my car, I found a $55 parking ticket on my windshield. FML
Today, I parked my car, went to pay for my spot, and returned to my car only to find a parking violation ticket tucked under the windshield wipers. This all happened in less than a minute. FML
Today, after I arrived at work, somebody crashed into my parked car and left a big dent. The impact pushed my car up onto the curb and I got a parking ticket. FML
Today, I went to my car to discover a note on the windshield from the city telling me that they had hit my car. On top of that note was a parking ticket, also from the city. FML
Today, I got a speeding ticket. I wrote a check, and on the way to deposit my fine, I got another one. I put both fines in a box down town, and I turned around to see a cop putting a parking ticket under my wind-shield wiper. FML
Today, I went to the post office. As I entered the building, my car alarm went off. Thinking I'd accidentally pressed the alarm on my keys, I shut it off without looking. When I returned to my car, the passenger window was demolished and my purse with all my money was gone. FML
Today, while I was walking to my car, I was mugged. Not only did they take my phone, wallet and watch, the extra few minutes taken in my journey meant that when I got to my car, I was given a parking ticket. FML
Today, I got a parking ticket in the mail. I don't have a car. FML
Today, I went to contest a parking ticket in court. I came out 3 hours later, all charges clear, to a new parking ticket on my windshield, for the same amount I just got cleared. FML

Oops, so that was your bag! Sorry, but I liked the color of the bag!

Agree with 22- 14, that's absurd. I seriously doubt OP had $1000 in cash... if bag means backpack, it could have been his laptop and phone, or something. That sucks though. I usually try to hide my bag, but if you forgot about it, that sucks.

#27: ...to get things without paying? And #5 just because they have a car doesn't mean they drive it all the time. If the op and a friend were going to the same place would they have to drive seperately?

Wow this is a true FML. I'm sorry to hear that.

#3: Who said the $1000 was in cash? A phone plus a nice outfit plus an ipod plus maybe one or two other things is already over $1000. Perfectly reasonable to have that much stuff in a bag, although mildly YDI (and I do mean mildly, because frankly nobody ever deserves to have their car window smashed and car looted) for leaving it on the seat.
