Today, I went to get my car washed at one of those places where you can watch through the glass. I watched in horror, face pressed against the glass, as my car went through with the window down. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
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 took my car through the automated wash. I was too close to swipe my card, so the attendant reached for it and somewhere between our hands, the card fell into the grate and down a small crack 10ft into nasty water. The whole car wash was shut down to pull the massive grate up. It took about 2 hours. 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 was driving along, and went to spit out my window. My window was up. This happened in heavy traffic. People saw. FML
Today, on my way home from work, I went to the car wash. When the spray jets hit the car, my dog jumped out of his crate, into the front seat, and onto a button lowering both back windows. I got both an exterior and interior wash. FML
Today, it was nice out, so I drove with my car windows down. I was stopped trying to turn onto a busy highway, when a car turned off the highway right next to me, hit a pothole, and splashed dirty water into my window and into my open mouth. FML
Today, I got my car cleaned. As I drove home, the passenger of the van in front of me vomited out the window. The vomit sailed back and splattered all over the front of my car. A waste of £10 and a mental image that will never go away. FML
Today, the Snapchat that I was taking of my car being washed, including my commentary like, "Oooh yeah, get into it baby," was replayed loudly through my car via Bluetooth while the workers were inside and all around washing it. 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

No, more like ruined. Who knows what OP left inside as well!

#20, OP probably left a party inside, which you would be a lot of fun at.

Oops.

You didn't think to check before hand? YDI

Car washes like that usually have valets, or people who drive your car up to the car wash. I was thinking maybe the valet rolled the window down. However, if OP left it down, totally a YDI.

Why would a valet that works at a car wash open a window? That doesn't make any sense. It's their job to check everything is closed. Also, they do have a lot of those big signs all around telling you to close all your windows. So my guess is that OP is one of those people who ignore signs all the time and then yell at employees because "nobody told me". Entirely YDI until proven otherwise by a follow up.

#32, I wish I had your deduction skills! You completely knew what type of person OP is and how they'd act, off of conjecture. Truly impressive, you should be a detective.

maybe the worker was ignorant and forgot to roll it down.

That'll learn you for not doing it yourself.

What...?
lexwilder 16
What don't you understand about that? It's the same as "That will teach you."
Carebeareatu 23
It's grammatically incorrect and not the same...
sadistmonkey 19
The merits of his comment aside, "that'll learn ya" is a well known folksy expression in English regardless of whether or not it conforms to standard English grammar. Commenting on the ungrammaticality of a colloquial expression is just plain stupid.

I should have know people would lose their mind over this comment. Apologies.

That sucks. Literally!

No it swallows, lots and lots of water.

#5: That word. It does not mean what you think it means. You literally have no idea what literally means. You figuratively suck at figuring out figures of speech.
DFMLharsh 20
Literally: in a literal manner or sense; exactly. Figuratively: by or as a figure of speech; metaphorically So that doesn't literally suck, neither does your choice of comment but, oh well!

#28, it's people like you that get the dictionaries to add the extra definition. Why the hell would you want literally to mean metaphorically when you use literally to define a situation that is not exaggerated? Beats me, but, apparently, it's fine for you. What if I said "my grandma literally died laughing"? Did she die laughing or just laugh really hard? So if I said "you're freaking stupid, literally" am I using literally in the metaphorical sense or literal sense? Well, this wouldn't be a problem if literally meant in the literal sense. #imageniusforusingliterallymetaphoricallyeventhoughitstheexactopposite
