Today, I took a picture of the combination to my new lock so I would always have it on my phone if I ever forgot it. I put my phone in my gym locker, locked it with the new lock, then promptly forgot the combination. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I decided to finally use the gym membership I got a few weeks ago. After I returned to the locker room, the locker I used was opened with all my stuff, including my iTouch, cell phone, and my wallet with cash stolen. It turns out I left the sticker that tells you your combo on my new lock. FML
Today, I decided to bike to work. I normally forget the key to my lock, so I leave it out back and hope that nobody takes it, and nobody does. I finally remembered my lock key so I chained it up. After my 7 hour shift, I walk to the back only to find the lock had been cut, and my bike was gone. 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 left my phone at work. After returning to the office to retrieve it, I noticed it was not on my desk as it usually is. I went to the front office and found it on the desk, unattended. When turning on my phone, I was greeted by my new lockscreen: a crap someone took in the bathroom. FML
Today, I replaced the battery in a closet’s electronic keypad door lock, and I accidentally locked myself inside. My family was traveling, so I had to call a neighbor. He got me out, but took pictures and posted them to social media. FML
Today, I was playing with my phone and turned it on lock mode. I changed my lock code a few months ago, so that no one would be able to guess it. Turns out I can't guess it either. FML
Today, I remember that I changed my phone lock password when I was still half asleep this morning, but I don't remember what I changed it to. FML
Today, I locked myself out of my apartment. But it’s 2024, so I have a smart lock I can unlock through an app on my phone. Except I also left my phone inside. The worst part? I had to ask my neighbor to call my mom so she could unlock my apartment from her phone. 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, whilst heading out the door to go to work, my lanyard got caught on the doorknob inside, and I watched my keys swing back inside as the door closed behind me. It was locked. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Should've gotten a key lock instead. Although you probably would've just locked that in there too. Good job, OP.

People don't normally go to gyms expecting to get a mental workout; you're really making every dollar of your membership count, OP.

Sorry OP... it was all my fault, please forgive me. :(

All will be forgiven if you just open up and let the OP grab their phone. BTW, congratulations on becoming sentient and making an FML account!

Sounds like you need a better system my friend

Maybe next time email might be better because you could always access your account information on someone else's computer/ or smart phone.

#40 my photos are automatically backed up on Google Photos and I can access them on my phone, tablet and both my PCs. it's awesome, bit if I forget to delete a certain photo (if you know what i mean) from my other devices, my family can see it...

#5 why do you have to be an Asshole? OP just simply made a mistake.

That's why you write it backwards on your forehead. People won't know what it means since it is backwards but when you look in the mirror you could see what it is. The perfect plan.

There are two moments in life: then one when you can say 'at least you tried' and those when you can still say it but it doesn't change a damn thing! I feel you fall under the second category.
