Today, I had my car valeted at my hotel. The manager came out, took my keys, and said the car would be waiting for me in an hour. I was then forced to watch from the lobby as the "manager" sped off downtown. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I decided to splurge and get valet parking at a fancy restaurant. I got out of the car and gave the man my keys and watched as he slowly backed my car into another car. FML
Today, my boss reported to the police that a suspicious car has been parked outside the store late at night. I walked outside and my car was gone. He had my car towed. FML
Today, I went to get my car washed at one of those places where you can watch through the glass. I watched in horror, face pressed against the glass, as my car went through with the window down. FML
Today, I found my company car wrecked in a ditch. Apparently, leaving it parked on an icy hill all night was a bad idea. I have to pick up my manager from the airport. FML
Today, I dropped my car keys down the elevator shaft at my dorm. I had parked my car at a parking meter, and now had no way to get change out of my car. It took six hours for someone to get my keys, and I now have a $75 parking ticket. FML
Today, I couldn't find my car in a mall parking lot. After 30 minutes of searching, I reported it stolen to the mall security. It turns out that I'd parked it on the opposite side of the mall. Security escorted me to my car, all while giving me pitiful looks. FML
Today, I had a job interview at a restauraunt opening up. One manager hypothetically asked me why I should be hired. I said I was more efficient than most. I left to find I'd locked my keys in the car. It took all the managers to help me get my keys out. FML
Today, I took my car to a car wash, and when I got it back, one of the rearview mirrors was missing. Someone knocked it off and the management refuses to cooperate on who was the thief. FML
Today, I found out the day manager has been illegally entering my apartment when I’m not home. My car was in the shop, so when he saw my parking spot empty, he came right on in. I was just getting out of the shower and was standing stark naked. He didn’t even try to explain. Just smirked. FML
Today, I took my SUV in to get the oil changed, and the tires rotated. They allowed me to stay there, because they said it would only take 30 minutes. So I sit there in the waiting room, and I look through the window only to see my SUV falling off the lift, from 6 feet in the air. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why would you check for i.d.

Probably sent this fml through his phone, which if I was OP, I'll be talking to the cops now.

Checked his ID? "Um yes, sir, can I see your drivers license?" *looks at license* "Seems legit." Instead of checking his ID, OP should have, I don't know, looked at his uniform. If some guy dressed in regular clothes takes your keys from you, you only deserve it. I mean even just a name badge would suffice.

15, most the time managers at hotels don't wear uniforms, just nice clothes, so if you have a tie you could pass for the manager.

Valets keep your keys.

I wish that the valet keys had more security features than not allowing them to gain access to your glovebox/trunk. They should also limit the car's speed =c! FYL.

Wtf? Was he going to fix it or track down who did it?

#3, he took OP's car. The FML was simple enough. A random man wouldn't take a car (after pretending to be the manager, mind you) to fix it.

YDI for being too lazy to park your own car.

At fancy hotels they park your car for you so he didn't have a choice stupid

Also, many hotels in cities have underground or raised parking garages where only the valets are allowed to go, since it reduces the chance of car theft.

Yea it sure does help reduce car theft... Oh wait the OP got his car stolen.

actually the fedex/kinkos near me requires valet too -.- (they have a really small parking lot so I think valet helps them tandem and fit more people in. but yea basically I don't consider faxing a document or mailing a letter "fancy".

you always need more information about the "managers"

Where was the valet parking lot. Perhaps it was down town???

managers dont usually do valet do they? and even still i would asked for someone with a name tag. better yet i wouldnt be lazy enough to ask someone to park MY car.
cherryllollo 7
when do managers of hotels with valet parking actually do the parking themselves? they don't. ydi

Exactly my thought. Op was too gullible, so deserves it.
