Today, I was washing my car, and I decided to be kind and to wash my elderly neighbor's car. As it turns out, her sunroof was open. 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 surprise my boyfriend by taking his new car to the automatic car wash. As soon as the water started, I realized that I forgot to close the sunroof. FML
Today, in order to save money, instead of going to the car wash, I decided to wash my car at home. While sponging the roof, I slipped on the soapy driveway and ended up sliding under the car, getting soaked and covered in suds. My neighbor saw the whole thing and couldn't stop laughing. FML
Today, I noticed that someone smeared "wash me" into the grime of my car. I decided to take it to get a wash. I pulled up, put my vehicle in neutral, and kicked back as it slowly started to move. You never realize how long it takes a sun roof to close until water is dumping on your head. FML
Today, I took my car to the automatic wash for the first time in years. I didn’t realize you’re supposed to remember to close the sunroof. I now own a freshly-cleaned car interior, soaked seats, and one very wet, traumatized dog. FML
Today, my neighbor knocked on my door to tell me I'd left my car window open. I thanked him, went outside, and discovered it wasn't my car. He had just spent five minutes checking a stranger's vehicle because it looked like mine. FML
Today, I worked a carwash as a fundraiser. Being nice, I figured I'd bring my car, get it washed, and donate some money. When it was my car's turn to be washed, everyone was conveniently busy washing other cars. My car was in front and needed to be washed and moved. I paid $10 to wash my own car. FML
Today, I was asked to crawl through a sunroof because one of my coworkers locked her keys in her car. After I got the keys, instead of opening the car door, I climbed back out through the sunroof. To laughter. FML
Today, I was leaving a cafe with some of my friends. I had to sit in the back of the car by myself. I opened the door when I saw an old woman needing help getting to her car because it was raining. I shut the door and went to help. My friends thought I had gotten in. I was left in the rain with no phone. FML
Today, from the balcony of my apartment, I watched helplessly as a teen came along and peed through my car's open window. FML
Today, I went to the mall with a couple of friends. While walking through the parking lot, we saw a very dirty car. You couldn't even see the inside of the car through the windows. I thought it would be funny to trace on the window, "Wash Me." After doing so, the driver got out of the car. FML

You're one of those people who poops without checking for toilet paper first aren't you?

It sounds more like OP poops without checking the toilet lid.

Or pours a bowl of cereal without checking to see if they had milk.

I did this when I was about 7. I poured the last of my Cinnamon Toast Crunch and discovered no milk. I poured water instead because I really wanted some cereal. It tasted awful and I ended up throwing it away. Only for my dad to bring some milk an hour later :( lesson learned to always check for milk first lol

Cereal with... water? What's next, dipping your cookies in lemonade?

At least you tried. Maybe you can dry out and clean the inside as well to make it up to your neighbor.

Wish someone would wash mine, honestly. I have no time to do it.

That's why you always ask first.

Or at the very least look for a sunroof. I mean, it shouldn't be that hard to see unless you're a midget, right?

why does this not have more likes

Yeah, it's common sense not to mess with other people's stuff without asking, even if you are doing something good.

If op is close with them and have a good relationship then they probably wouldn't need to ask.

This is why one always looks before you leap. I hope your neighbour focuses on your effort to do a good deed rather than what was done.

How did you manage to not notice that it was open.

Did you charge for the "interior detailing"?

The lesson here: Check sun roofs before washing cars.
