Today, I got a well paying job that requires me to drive around and present a product to potential customers. After going out for a victory meal with friends, I came home to find my car broken into, and my GPS stolen. I need it for the job. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I attended a focus group. Since I've been unemployed for a month now I thought the $60 would come in handy. By the time I finished someone had broken into my car, stole my GPS and MP3 player. FML
Today, during my work shift, my car got stolen and I had to walk home on the rain. While I was walking home, my stolen car drove by. FML
Today, I drove to return a PC that my former company lent me to work at home, because I quit that job so won't be working there anymore. On my way to the office, I was robbed of both my car and the computer. FML
Today, I finally got enough money to buy the car I wanted for a year now. It was stolen today too. I had my car for 4 hours. FML
Today, my car was broken into, on the same night I stayed up late researching how to install my new car alarm. FML
Today, my car was broken into. What was stolen? My steering wheel. FML
Today, I woke up to the sound of my car being stolen. FML
Today, I decided to cover a coworker's closing shift because she felt sick. My boss even gave me a $10 gift card for doing it. I felt good about it, until I walked outside and found that my car had been stolen. FML
Today, I parked in front of a grocery store and took the portable GPS system off the mount on the dashboard and put it in my pocket so no one would break into my car and steal it. When I got back, the window was smashed and someone had stolen the plastic mount. FML
Today, I got a new CD player for my car and an alarm installed for added security. After work, I saw my windows smashed, the CD player gone, the alarm wires cut, and a note that said, "Try again." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You totally deserve it!!!! How stupid can you be to leave your GPS in the car? It's only like the number one thing being stolen out of cars. Besides, they aren't 100% accurate and the stores still sell maps and localized city maps. Spoiled little brat!!!

I agree with the others. Columbus didn't use GPS. Oh no someone stole my GPS. I can't find my way home! I bet you don't even have your husband/boyfriend/girlfriend/wife's number memorized. People like you need to not reproduce so we can raise the gene pool IQ. Seriously, FYL for not using your GPS? Try living off of Top Ramen and living at a Women's shelter and see how worried you are about your GPS.

Not trying to entirely disagree with you, but didn't Columbus end up on the wrong side of the world?

Damn you're right! Maybe he should have used a Tom Tom. LOL

Columbus only ended up on the "wrong side of the world" because he didn't realise there was a frigging huge chunk of land between him and where he wanted to get. Realistically that's like having a map with half the details missing.

Oh, I know. It just seemed like a funny thing to point out, that's all. :] Columbus didn't use GPS, but look where it got him! Ha. Haha. [/lame]

If you need it because your company only gives you GPS coordinates to travel to, then YLS. :( Otherwise, better brush up on your maps until you can get a new one. :D YLS either way, actually, being robbed is awful. :/

First off, it's burglary, not robbery. Second off, YDI for leaving your valuables in plain site. FYI, if you put your shit in the glove box/center console/trunk/under your seat, your vehicle is a lot less likely to be broken into than if you were to leave it in plain site. That also goes for the suction cup mounting thingy; if you leave that up, the thieves will know you have the device somewhere in your car, so be sure to detach that as well. Third off, get a map, spend a few days a month driving around the city to familiarize yourself with your surroundings. Eventually, you'll be able hear an address and know the exact area to go. Good luck!

YDI for working in Sales. Nobody likes a salesperson, we merely tolerate them. Enjoy your meaningless life.

A GPS isn't strictly required to navigate a city; people did it for centuries before those things existed. Also, serves you right leaving valuable electronics in your car. Now you know better for next time.

>>Today, I got a well paying job that requires me to drive around and present a product to potential customers. Doesn't sound so well-paying to me. Also: Pay a new GPS? Where's the problem?

I would, but only if I really, really needed one.
