Today, I spent a quarter of an hour trying to figure out why my car wouldn't unlock, then why my number plate had changed. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I tried to unlock my house's front door by hitting the unlock button on my car keys. It took me some time to realize my mistake. FML
Today, after numerous attempts, my car door still wouldn't unlock. After going ballistic on the lock, the key broke off inside. I then realized it wasn't my car. FML
Today, I spent 5 minutes trying to get into my car because the key fob wouldn't work. It wasn't my car. Same model, same colour, same parking spot, just wrong floor. The actual owner was watching me struggle from the Aldi trolley station the whole time, clearly amused. FML
Today, after locking myself out of my house, I let myself into my car to wait on someone with a spare key. It took me 15 minutes to realise the house and car key share the same ring. FML
Today, I spent 30 minutes trying to unlock my garage door. After shouting several profanities, my roommate walked up to me, turned the key the other way, and unlocked it. FML
Today, I couldn't see my car in a crowded car park. I pressed unlock on my keys and saw the lights flash. As I walked over I also saw someone run from my car with an armful of my stuff. FML
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, my car key clicker wouldn't let me in. After a few frustrating minutes, I realized that, besides electronic capabilities, it's also an actual key that fits in a hole to unlock my door. FML
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, 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

Quarter of an hour? You spent that long doing that? You would of thought after a while why it didn't make much cents.

Reminds me of a video where a guy brushes the snow off a car. When he's done after a few minutes, he pushes the button on the remote and the car next to the one he removed the snow from starts blinking :)

Just the other day, I was waiting on the side of the road for a friend to pick me up. When her car pulled up, I hopped on in and settled into the seat. When I looked over at her, I was about to comment on her new hair color when I noticed she was significantly older and had a horrified 'Don't rob or rape me' look on her face. I tried to lighten the mood by pointing up the road and saying 'Follow that car and don't spare the horses,' but when she reached for the gearshift I realized that might be construed as kidnapping. So I apologized profusely, explained that my friend drove the same car with the same parking sticker and hopped out. Fifteen minutes later I called my friend and she told me she'd asked her mother to scoop me up. If I'd been able to get this story into 300 characters, I'd have written an FML about it.

wait so was it actually her car and her mom was.driving?

Then why would she be horrified? Why wouldn't she tell you who she was when you "explained"? Why would she just drive off when you hopped out?

She was apparently expecting a woman, not me. Sometimes having a non gender-specific name works against you.

One time my grandmother actually got IN the wrong car. And another time, my mum got in a wee car accident so we drove to a nearby Kroger's to meet my dad. In my town, there's a car the same make and color as that one (which is unusual because my car is a fairly distinctive color and we live in a small town), and it happened to be in the same parking lot. My dad inspected the wrong car and declared it didn't look too bad. Don't feel bad.
