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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

So, is spontaneously washing other people's cars a thing now?

That's sweet, but maybe ask first next time? Even if it wasn't open she may have been just about to go out, or already organised someone else to do it, ir whatever else.

Don't touch someone else's property without permission, even if it's to do a good deed.

This why you check the car thoroughly first, I put both oft sucks but you sort of deserved it, however the person who didn't was the lady the car belonged to.

How do you not notice the sun roof was open? YDI.

I would say it's a plus you didn't take it to an actual car wash...that might have been more of an issue...

I can see you just thought about how much wetter the car would be going through the car-wash without really thinking about the whole picture. If they had taken the car to the car-wash they would have to get permission and the keys, and would have likely noticed the open sunroof from inside the car. It would then be a kind gesture and no longer an FML.

I'm assuming the car was an SUV and you weren't tall enough to notice or the car was too tall...

Did you ask the neighbour? It was a nice thought but some people are very particular about letting others touch their car, and some might be offended someone had decided to wash it without asking.

Look before you leap. It's great your heart was in the right place, but next time just ask her or at least check to make sure no window or anything is down before you go doing that.

it's great you were being nice and all, but you really should have noticed this before you started. ydi
