Today, I walked to work. I later discovered that my husband had parked my car in a no-parking area. My job is towing cars. I had to tow my own car. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I started my first day of work at my new job. They had a section in the parking lot for employees only, so I parked there. Apparently, my boss didn't recognize my car, and had it towed. FML
Today, I came outside to leave for work. To my shock and horror my car was gone. My asshole neighbor, who has parked in my spot multiple times decided to let her noisy guests park in my parking spot, so I parked in hers. She had my car towed. FML
Today, my boss reported to the police that a suspicious car has been parked outside the store late at night. I walked outside and my car was gone. He had my car towed. FML
Today, I drove my car to work as I had some errands to do after, even though I only live a few blocks away. After driving round to find a car park for ages, the closest car park available was outside my house. I ended up walking to work instead. FML
Today, I walked ten miles to pick up my car from the towing station. Turns out there was enough change for the parking meter in the glovebox after all. FML
Today, we have a double driveway, but after my wife left, someone parked in my wife’s spot, presumably to avoid the public car park fee a few streets away. I called a tow company and very specifically asked them to tow the intruding red car, but they towed my black work truck instead. FML
Today, I dropped off a box for my sister at her job. In a rush, I unknowingly parked in a reserved spot. When I got back to my car, I saw that my car was being towed. After successfully flirting myself out of an expensive towing bill, I backed into the pole behind me, leaving a noticeable dent. FML
Today, I went to pick up my car from where I parked it last night. I walked over to my parking spot only to find a vegetable stand there in its place. Apparently, that's the location of the Saturday Market and they had my car towed. FML
Today, my wife's water broke so I drove her to the hospital. After 16 hours without labor, I went home to get a little sleep. Four hours later I got the call and ran outside to find that my car was towed from my parking space. FML
Today, I paid $125 to get my car back after it was towed. Yesterday, I bought the car. When I got it to my apartment, the office wasn't open, so I couldn't get a parking decal. The same office that towed my car while they were still closed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

And then kick him hard in the ass for making you have to tow it in the first place.

Or call him and come back a little later. Maybe you just "missed" it. Unless you have routes, then that would suck. How embarrassing.

Or OP should have just called him and got him to move it. Screw paying 200 dollars to get it back

Am I the only one thinking he probably did this on purpose for ***** and giggles?

53, I was actually thinking that. What a stupid prank that would be. It probably isn't cheap getting a car out of the impound.

Tow-ception.

perhaps call your husband and ask him to move it? or is that just too logical a solution.

Well, a job's a job. Sucks it had to be that way.

Tow it to your house and make your husband pay you to do it!
feelingold 18
Pay? Ermmm you're not familiar with the whole "what's mine is yours" marriage concept I suppose...
magicgod 3
cool

23 - And I guess you're not familiar with the fact that any job done requires compensation. Regardless, OP would have to pay for a towing fee as well as a fee to have it removed from the impound lot. So yes, it seems extremely fair that OP's husband needs to pay said amounts for his own stupidity.

what 23 means is they most likely have a joint account and the payment will affect ops money too.

A lot of people do not love that way. Called a pre-nup
CaptFuzzyNippl_2 16
At least you know where your car is.uh...OP does that mean you have to pay a fine?Make him pay for it!
timelessone 16
You later shoved your toe into his ass. right?
Jemm_fml 29
only if he didn't like it
timelessone 16
Tow and toe, I thought that was gold. I guess not.

I heard that if you leap into your car before the tow guy can tow it, they can't tow your car because of safety and liability issues... Don't know how that would work with you being the one towing your car though... Maybe clone yourself and make you're clone leap into your car and be like, "Aw shucks! I can't tow the car now! Get out of there you wild hooligan!"
gracehi 33
*your clone. Sorry. I had a dyslexic moment.

I heard if you leap in Dukes of Hazzard style they actually pay you.

Once they have it hooked up, they're not going to unhook it until you pay some money

OP never specified WHERE the car was towed to, she just expresses her discontent towards having to be in that situation. For all we know she towed it straight to her driveway.
