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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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. Good thing I went to Lowe's to make spares, which are also now locked in the car. FML
Today, I locked myself out of my car while the engine was running. I called roadside assistance, waited 40 minutes, then watched a stranger walk past, point at the unlocked passenger door, and open it for me. 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 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, my relatively new car locked down, with my keys inside of it, while it was still running. In a panic because it was getting dark and I was already low on fuel, I called a locksmith. He showed up and told me he needed to see some ID before unlocking the car. My ID was in the car. FML
Today, I dropped my keys in the sewer. The spare ones are inside my locked car. FML
Today, as I was closing my car door, I realized I had left the keys in the ignition. Not wanting to lock myself out, I reached to stop the door from closing. Not only did I scream when the door slammed on my hand, but in my furious pain, I leaned on the door, locking my keys inside. FML
Today, I spent five minutes sitting in my car, panicking and tearing my purse apart because I couldn't find my keys. I then found them. They were in the ignition, and the car was running. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'm impressed you managed to get the car to LET you lock yourself out... Either it's an antique, or you are truly talented... Nearly every car these days will prevent you from locking the door when it is open and the key is in the ignition.

This is really badly worded, I don't really understand.

Speaking of "really badly worded," really badly worded, is poor word choice.

They locked their keys in the car (while the car was on & running), to get the parking ticket that was on their windshield on the outside. Lol...still weird tho. o.O But that sucks.

this is a halfway legitimate FML. maybe there's growing hope for this site. probably not, but maybe.

Exactly what I was thinking. The car would have to be fairly old for this to be possible...though not necessarily antique. There are still people driving around in 15-20 year old cars.

Umm, no. Every car in existence let's you lock the door when the car is running and/or the door is open. You sir, are a dummy. That is all.

Who said the door was open? the doors will indeed lock if they are closed you know. I have a habit of closing car doors when i get out myself =] so you never know

Yeah you deserve it for driving a crappy ass old Honda Civic. Even my Hyundai is smart enough to keep me from getting locked out when the keys are in.

Umm...nobody said anything about a Honda Civic. The Civic, I'll have you know, is a very nice car.

that happened to me...I just by habit hit the lock button when I stand up to get out of the car. luckily, my window was far enough down that I could force my arm inside to hit unlock. my cars super old though so it very likely doesn't have ANY normal safety features
