Today, I was racing my friends to the car for shotgun in the parking lot at night. I opened the passenger door of the car to find an old lady staring at me. It was the wrong car. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was waiting for a friend to pick me up. It was after dark and I was nervous, so when he pulled up I immediately jumped in the car. The young girl in the driver's seat started freaking out, screaming and punching me in the face repeatedly. I'd accidentally gotten in the wrong car. FML
Today, at a restaurant, I noticed a really hot girl leaving with her friend. A few minutes later they came back, laughing uncontrollably, and announced that some moron forgot to put on their parking brake and the car was rolling into the full parking lot. It was my car. They watched me chase it. FML
Today, I was forced to look on in utter horror as an old lady backed out of her parking space, kept going well past the turning point, and slammed straight into my car, putting a dent in the front and shattering the headlights. FML
Today, an old lady asked me the way to the shopping mall. The shopping mall was not too far away, but I could see that the lady could barely walk so I offered to drive her there. She smacked my car's door into a pole while getting in my car. She didn't even notice that she'd done something wrong. FML
Today, I got into my car in the parking lot, or at least I thought I did. I sat down, buckled up, and only noticed something was off when a guy walked over from the shopping trolley carousel, opened the passenger door and said, “Can I help you?” Same car model, wrong car. FML
Today, I was trying to do a nice thing and let my friend's mom borrow my car. I went to move my mom's car that was parked behind me so that I could get my car out, and then proceeded to back into my dad's new company car. FML
Today, a couple of friends and I were driving around town and saw a lady who had accidentally backed her car up onto a concrete wall. Laughing, we all turned to look as we passed and I drove straight into a parked police car that had stopped to help her. FML
Today, I got in my sister's car outside the movie theater and started talking about the movie. When I realized she wasn't saying anything, I looked up to see my ex-boyfriend sitting in the drivers seat. I got in the wrong car. FML
Today, I got to drive my mom's car. I'd recently watched the new Fast and Furious movie, I thought it'd be fun to drift around a few corners. I ended up smashing straight into someone's front yard. FML
Today, I was driving back home after hanging out with some friends. I drove pass a woman standing next to a broken down car. I felt bad, so went back and offered her a ride home. Turns out it wasn't her car and she was a hooker. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Good thing the only shotgun she had was the seat. Otherwise, you might be picking birdshot out of your ass for weeks, if not pushing up daisies.

Well, did you have a staring contest?

How could you possibly have messed up that bad...

If the car he meant to go to was the same make and color, it could easily look identical. I am sure that mistake has been made plenty of times in the past, not just by OP.

One time my boyfriend and I went to the movies with my grandparents. After it was over, me and him went out to wait for them in their car. I didn't have the keys but I had the code to the keypad on the door. It didn't work and I tried to open all the doors in annoyance. A few minutes later, my grandparents came out and headed to an identical car in the next row. :| I felt so dumb! (Just showing how it's possible to mistake vehicles)

I actually got into a similar car and sat down before realizing it wasn't my car. Funny thing is, my key opened the door.

I've done it before. Once, after orchestra practice I walked outside and saw my mothers car. I walked up, and jiggled the handle, but it wouldn't open, so I thought she locked me out, I violently shook it to mess with her. Then I looked inside, and saw two strangers staring at me. I walked away as quickly as possible.

I'm sure she would let you sit on her lap.
nycwrestler 17
I'm sure she wouldn't.
Wishez 12
There is a more than average chance she would sooner call the cops.
CrissyyyS2 22
Pretty sure 3 was being sarcastic.
sens3sfailing 25
Obviously, it just wasn't funny. Not all sarcasm, even when realized, gets thumbed up
iiAntheA17 7
Yes. I just wrote what I thought was funny. A simple opinion. It's okay that people didn't think it was funny.
sens3sfailing 25
Exactly 42. Even Perdix and docbastard get buried because not everything is as funny to everyone else as it was in our heads. There is no shame in being buried, and there is no shame in liking a buried comment. There really isn't a big point to state someone's sarcasm. If you noticed it, chances are almost everyone else did too. And if you are the only one, its either an extremely obscure reference, something went over your head, or you just read to deep into something.

Idiot....

No, it was an honest mistake, and it seems like he's still a kid.

Looks like OP will be riding in the backseat

Jesus, people! Lighten up! I'm sure you've probably made ONE stupid mistake in your life too.

Where I live, this might've ended very badly.

This reminds me of borderlands 2 when claptrap says "how would you like a face full of buckshot!"
chris_a7x 11
It would be understandable if she had the same car... Otherwise you're just stupid.
pradip 26
And all your friends followed you and screamed. You win! You win! Hugging and cheering you.
lambda_fml 40
I think atleast one of them would have noticed that OP was in the wrong car.

epic fail
iop330 22
Yes, fails tend to wash up quite frequently on FML

Is having the front passenger seat really that important? At least the old lady didn't beat the crap out of you.
retyi43 14
no, it's not really that important. it's just a fun game to play

Just to qdd with her purse.

For highschoolers it's a big deal. Car must be within sight to call shotty.. if there are four passengers to a small car along with the driver, the last person to call out their spot must ride bitch. That's the middle seat.

To make the story funnier you should've just stared at her for a few seconds and look around her car like nothing happened. :|
