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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went through my purse to see where my keys were. I found my house keys, but not my car keys, so I freaked out. When I remembered that I was driving, I felt stupid. FML
Today, while driving, I realized I had left my phone on top of my car when I was getting in. Panicking, I drove back to look for it. I found it in the middle of the street, still intact. Yay! When I went back to my car, I noticed I had locked my door, and the keys were in the ignition. FML
Today, I lost my keys while at the supermarket. I franticly back-tracked through the store, asking everyone I saw along the way. They eventually showed up, right where I left them... in my unattended car, the engine still running. There was an announcement made over the PA system. 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 car. I had a spare key in my wallet, that I also left in the car. 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, I finally found a parking space directly outside my apartment after driving around for 20 minutes. I celebrated, parked, and walked upstairs. Ten minutes later, I realized I'd left my car running with the keys still inside. FML
Today, after a week of looking for my car keys and being forced to drag my family around on public transportation, my wife found the keys in our car's ignition. FML
Today, I walked out of the store, car keys in hand, only to discover my car was missing. After a frantic search, I started to hyperventilate and a nearly had a full-blown panic attack. Then I remembered I walked to the store. I am an idiot. FML
Today, my keys disappeared out of my car door during the 50 foot walk to the trash can. When I finally went to security after trying to find them, they said someone drove off with my car right as I walked in the door. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I did the exact opposite today. I was really confused that I couldn't make my truck go forward, until I realised I'd put my keys down in the back seat when I put my dog there. I swear the little bugger was laughing at me.

Someone had a busy day. It happens to me all the time. Mom brain makes me forget everything.

All that wasted gas... Not to mention the pollution you created by idling for 5 minutes.

If it were intentional I'd have agreed with you but the fact that the op blanked out for a moment makes me empathise with them. So, I can't really blame them for wasting gas...

Well obviously the planet's effed now because of 5 minutes of idling. Low lying areas are currently being evacuated due to melted polar ice caps.

At least you didn't lock yourself inside the car. Or did you?

Gas is on the right. Brake is on the left. Try not to kill anyone.

This has happened to me before except not with keys.. I'll be holding my phone or listening to music on it and then I'll panic being all like "Oh no I forgot my phone!" FYL

Overwork, too much multi-tasking and stress does that to you. I hate those brain fogs. I feel your pain OP. It, called CRAFT Syndrome. (Can't Remember A ******* Thing.)

Just the kind of focus we need out of those with whom we share the highway.
