Today, I was walking home from school and my stupid brother who comes earlier then me locked the storm door. I ended up trying every other door for 3 hours in below freezing temperature. I was numb everywhere. I rang the bell and my brother opened it. He was home the whole time. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, as usual, I went to pick up my brother and sister from school in the rain. When we got to my truck, I realized I had locked us out. We had to walk home in the rain, only to find the spare house key had not been put back in its spot since the last time it was used. FML
Today, I was in my backyard. When I wanted to come back in the house, I tried to open the sliding door. I knew that my brother locked me out so I banged on the door very hard, causing the glass to break. It turns out that the door wasn't locked. FML
Today, I was home alone and it started to rain. It hadn't rained in days so I went out on my balcony and ran around. I felt great until I realized that my door had been swung shut because of the wind, and it had no handle. I had to wait outside in the rain for two hours. FML
Today, I locked myself out of my dorm room. I walked across campus, shoe-less and in nothing but my bathrobe, to find someone who could let me back in. Turns out I hadn't even shut the door properly and so it never actually locked. I can still hear the guy laughing at me. FML
Today, I stepped outdoors for a minute. The wind blew the door shut, locking me outside. I've spent the last two hours pounding frantically on the windows, trying to wake my 4 year old son who is inside. I can see him sleeping soundly on the couch. FML
Today, I was locked out of my house. After hours of trying to break the door, I found out I accidentally left a window open. The door, however, still needs to be replaced. FML
Today, I was taking a nap when my dad texted me, asking me to go check the mail. So I went outside, then the wind blew the front door shut, and it automatically locked. I didn’t have my key. FML
Today, my neighbour called to say a crazy drunk man was breaking into my house. Thankfully, the police were already there, questioning me about “attempted unlawful entry” into my own house. My keys had been taken from a friend so I wouldn’t drive. It's 1°C and I still haven’t gotten inside. FML
Today, I tried to make a dramatic exit after arguing with my sibling. I slammed the front door behind me, only to realize my hoodie string was stuck in it. I had to awkwardly knock and ask to be let back in. FML
Today, I snuck out of the house for a night on the town. When I got back, I found all the doors and windows bolted shut. My sister's laughing face at my bedroom window suggests I'll be spending the rest of the night outside. FML

If your brother goes home earlier than you, would it it be logical that he would be there to open the door? And how do you lock a door with no lock? And if it was that cold and you really couldn't figure out how to get inside, why not go to a neighbor's house or a store close by to call your brother and wait?

But that would make sense and then OP would have no material for an FML. OP ydi for not using your brain.

Why didn’t you ring the bell in the first ten minutes or so? How did he lock in with no lock? How many ******* doors do you have that it takes three hours to try them all? You probably have frostbite of the brain.

So who's the stupid one in this story?

Am I the only one who finds it funny how OP calls his brother stupid, then promptly mixes up 'then' and 'than' and tells us a story about the person coming home earlier being home?

In french a lot of people write "sa" (possessive "her") instead of "ça" (it). In english I can see that a lot of people write "then" instead of "than". You don't help us understand you, you know? Well, whatever. Couldn't you just knock or ring from the beginning? 🤔

Where were you expecting your brother to be if he's usually home before you? And doorbells were literally invented so people inside the house could be alerted that someone outside wanted to come in, so if your door with no lock was locked (I'm assuming by magic), why not ring the doorbell first instead of trying every other door for three hours on what I can only surmise is a massive mansion? That, or whoever put so many doors on your house has a door fetish.

You waited 3 hours to ring the doorbell?

Obviously he was home if the storm door was locked and can only be locked from the inside. Why don't you have keys to other doors? There is so much wrong with your FML that I feel you have issues living life in general, and you probably won't make it to adulthood.

Your brother "comes earlier than you"? I feel like being locked out in the cold may be the least of your problems.
