Today, I was running late for an important job interview because I couldn't find my keys. I place the keys on my kitchen counter every day to prevent exactly this type of situation. After few minutes and missing my interview, I finally found my keys, in my hand. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a job interview but couldn't find my car keys. I had searched the entire apartment and had missed the interview. Turns out they were in my pocket the entire time. FML
Today, I showed up to an important meeting 20 minutes late, claiming I couldn't find my keys. They were in my hand the whole time, and I realized it just as I reached for the doorknob. Everyone saw me pause mid-step, staring at my hand in disbelief. FML
Today, my car keys decided to play hide and seek. Good news: I found them under my bed. Bad news: it was after my job interview was scheduled to start. FML
Today, I was running late for an important meeting and couldn't find my car keys. After searching around for way too long, I finally realised where they were - in the pocket of the pants I'd worn the day before, which were now spinning around in the now-unstoppable, two-hour washing machine cycle. FML
Today, I was looking for my condo keys, thinking I had left them in my mailbox on the first floor the night before. Leaving to check, I realized I'd forgot to take them out of my door when I had come in, leaving them in the keyhole. FML
Today, on my lunch break, I ran to the gas station, and threw some trash away on my way in. On my way out, I realized my keys were missing. Thinking I threw them away, and fearing that I'd be late returning to work, I tore through the disgusting trash only to find my keys on the seat of my car. FML
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, I couldn't get to work because I couldn't find my car keys. It turns out, my mother took them and put them "somewhere safe." She can't remember where they are. FML
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
Today, I started a new job. I lost my work keys and had everyone running all over the building looking for them. We found them, hanging in the last lock I had used. They now all think I'm a nut. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Now call them to explain and ask where your phone went.

We all miss a important job interview because we could not find the keys fOr "a few minutes?" seriously what the **** if it took you a "few" minutes to find them why were you late?

Reminds me of when My mother was running around wondering where her glasses were, they were on her head all the time, Well i had a good laugh xD

If it was only a few minutes, I'm sure you could have made it to the interview and just explained the situation. Either way, fyl.

Seems like the kind of thing you wouldn't inform your potential employer about.... but that might just be me.

Most People understand what havoc nerves can cause in someone's life. Everyone has those 'special moments' OP. Good luck.

If it was just a few minutes...wouldn't you just drive a little faster? Or were you a few minutes late for your bus? Get a taxi? I don't see how a few minutes made all the difference here...Sounds like you were going to be late regardless of the keys incident.

I moderated this FML, and can safely say that they edited '40 minutes' to 'a few minutes'. So it's not his/her fault - at least not for not calculating in a time margin.

Wow well there goes that job

I do the same exact thing with my glasses.

While they're on your face? I do that. Sometimes, I forget I have them on when stepping into the shower.

I have done it with my phone (search for it, while I'm actually busy using it)...

Holy crap I thought I was the only one lmfao. I do that with like almost everything! I'm starting to think I'm blonde under my original hair color. xD

The times I have got into the shower with my bra still on... Blonde moments.

Sometimes I forget I have a penis, and a few minutes later I find it again.

Bet that's a delightful surprise! Enjoy

If it was so important, then shouldn't you have gotten ready early? Not once did you notice them in your hands while digging around your house? YDI

Exactly my thoughts. If you're 10 minutes early you're on time. If you're on time you're late. If you're late you're fired.

I came here to say just that. Op deserves it if a few minutes meant they missed the interview.

I've looked for my phone before while I was calling someone. He probably didn't notice it cause he was freaking out over the fact he couldn't find his keys

That reminds me when I'm on the phone talking to someone and I can't find my phone.

That's the worst. I tend to feel my pocket to make sure it's still there throughout the day. Occasionally I'll have a sudden heart attack upon not feeling it and, after 5 seconds of groping all my other pockets, realise that I'm an idiot and have it held to my face. I once started the sentence "shit, I can't find my ph... wait." do the person I was on the phone with.

I constantly pat my pockets for my keys or lighter, which usually leads to me ejecting the contents just to make sure it was my keys.

Don't worry op. You have no fault. We all do this some point
MURIKKA 11
Pwnman, I'm glad you think this. Many people no realize OP not have fault. Is very upsetting.

Why are you guys thumbing MURRIKA down for making a joke of 9's bad grammar? You guys must think he's seriously that dumb or something.
MissEmma_fml 22
We got the joke. There's just no need to take the piss out of him. You understood what he meant, didn't you?
DarkHelmet 10
Are you effin serious!?!? Your looking for keys that were in your damn hand. W O W

A lot of people forget things in their hands. It's not very uncommon.

Hey, don't beat yourself up. Lots of people do that! Most elders share the same situation.
