A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I locked my keys in the car while the car was running because I got out to get the parking ticket attached to my windshield. FML

Today, I locked my keys in my car. Good thing I went to Lowe's to make spares, which are also now locked in the car. FML

Today, after locking my keys in the car and waiting three hours for my mom to bring me my spare, I reached into my bag only to find my keys. FML

Today, I locked my keys in my truck. The good news is that I have a spare set in my house. The bad news is that my house key is on the same keyring as my locked-in truck key. 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 shut my finger in the car door. The door locked. Then I dropped the keys on the ground and couldn't reach them. FML

Today, I locked my keys in my car. My spare keys are 45 minutes away in my dorm room. My dorm room keys are attached to my car keys locked in my car. Security said they would let me in as long as I had my school ID. It's on my keychain. 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 locked my keys in my car. After looking for the spare key for hours, we called our insurance company, who then sent a "locksmith" with a wedge and a bar to open my car. All he did was break the driver and passenger doorhandles. My stuff is still inside. FML

"Hey, I just locked my keys in my car. And my backup key in my car. Can I borrow your phone?" "You want me to just call triple A?" "Huh, oh, no; I just need to post an FML."

This is why I have a hide-a-key on my car and an alarm that only shuts off with the fob.

Time for the good ol' metal hanger trick? Or is there no clothing store nearby?

Sadly, most stores these days have crappy plastic hangers. This is why I always keep a metal hanger in my boot(trunk) ...which can only be opened with the key... Wait

How would he even buy the clothes?

Wouldn't need to buy clothes, just "borrow" one of their metal hangers.

I did this exact thing a month ago, and I work so far in the boonies, there were no tow trucks available to unlock it. I had to stay an extra 3 hours until someone could bring me the extra set of keys.

I've done this before. More times than I'd like to admit. Now I carry a coat hanger easily accessible.

But what about second spare?

Where'd you leave your spare brain? I think you need it.

I've done the same thing, along with leaving my phone in the car too. A police cruiser pulled up when they saw me jimmying the door with a coat hanger, I thought that they'd be nice and use their slim Jim to open the door. Nope, they just told me to drop the hanger, put my hands up, and step away from the car. Then they asked for my ID and to show proof that it was my car. When I pointed out that my wallet was also in the car they called a lock Smith and waited for him to show up (they said that they couldn't use theirs). They stopped treating me like a criminal after he opened the car and looked through my wallet.

That sounds fair? If you were lying they would have broken into a car belonging to someone else. Better for them to be cautious when they find someone breaking into a car.

I would've had to been the world's dumbest criminal considering that I was the one who flagged them down for help. I had just worked back to back double shifts waiting tables and was dead on my feet.

a lot of criminals are pretty dumb, to be fair. lol. I'm sure it sucked for you but I can see their side.
