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.

Could've just said 15 minutes.... Quarter of an hour makes you sound like a douche

It took you 15 minutes to realize that wasn't your car? An intelligent person would have realized that it wasn't their car after a few seconds of trying to unlock it.

Quarter of an hour? 15 minutes. You spent 15 minutes trying to get in a car thats not yours.

Never once in my entire life have I heard someone refer 15 minutes as "a quarter of an hour"

All of you bashing the OP for saying "quarter of an hour" need to calm down. I know this FML is from the UK but where I live (Georgia) most everybody says "a guarter of an hour" or "half an hour" instead of 15 or 30 minutes. Its just something people say. sorry y'all had to think about how many minutes made up a quarter of an hour

The OP spent 15 minutes trying to unlock a car he thought was his. Only time he figured out it wasn't his car is when he saw the license plate number wasn't his. Does that make you less confused?

I find it amusing that you say a quarter of an hour instead of just 15 minutes. The former sounds a lot worse than the latter.
