Today, I woke up to find that I left my headlights on last night. I found out by the headlights of my car smashed and a post-it note on my windshield saying "you accidentally left your headlights on... I took care of that for you". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found a note on my car windshield that said, “Sorry about what happened.” I immediately assumed someone had hit it. After panicking for 2 minutes, I realized the note had been left by my friend, who had borrowed my car and accidentally left the radio playing overnight, draining the battery. FML
Today, my girlfriend decided it would be cute to leave a love letter in my car while I was at work. She left my lights on. I got a dead battery. FML
Today, I accidentally hit someone's car while in the supermarket car park. I left a note, went shopping, and when I came back my windows were shattered, my tires were slashed, and "FUCK YOU" was written on my windshield. FML
Today, I found my car with its front end smashed in. The offender was nowhere to be seen, but had left a helpful note that stated, "Sorry about your car but you can go fuck yourself because you will never find me. Muwahahaha!" FML
Today, somebody stopped by the front desk at the hotel I work at to report a vehicle had its headlights on. I wrote down the info, including the plate. Hours later, after my shift was over, I finally realized that it was MY vehicle. The battery was dead. FML
Today, while parking my car, I accidentally bumped into the car in front of me, making a small, barely noticeable dent. I felt bad, wrote an apology note, and stuck it on his windshield. An hour later, he replied by keying the entire right side of my car. FML
Today, the driver's side window of my car was busted, and inside was a note that said, "Sorry, thought this was my car." FML
Today, I went to my car to discover a note on the windshield from the city telling me that they had hit my car. On top of that note was a parking ticket, also from the city. FML
Today, I hit a parked car which was sticking out in the road and practically unavoidable. I left a note on the windshield saying, "You deserved to get hit - you park like an asshole." Later I realized that the paper I tore to write on was the back of my bank statement, name and address included. FML
Today, as I left the supermarket, I found someone had hit my car in the parking lot. There was a note tucked under the wipers. Insurance details? Nope. It just said "Sorry dude. I fucked up. Good luck with the car." Great. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How thoughtful and creative of the guy smashing your headlights to return to his place, grab a pen and a post-it note, concisely and wittily explain his motives, then return to your vehicle to put it on the windshield. You'd think someone thoughtful enough to think of your reaction would try to find out where you lived to tell you, or to just put a few dirty rags over the lights, since he obviously knows the expensive inconvenience he's putting you through. But then you wouldn't have an situation worthy to submit to FML, would you? Looks like it worked out for everyone involved.

Get off the computer and call the cops on whoever's house your lights were shining into.

Someone stole my stereo twice, so I finally stuck a peice of cardboard in the hole with "Already Stolen" on it. A few days later I found my window smashed in and " Had to check" written on it. Sucked.

Omg where the hell do you live? After a while I would put a tiger in my car at night. Best way to scare off potential thieves. I'm sorry but it's pretty funny that someone wrote back "had to check".

Lot of surprisingly clever thieves with pens at the ready these days, it would seem. And here I was thinking most people who break into your car are agitated idiot crackheads who just want to take your shit and run.

Wow enough4, can you be any more sarcastic on this FML? We get it, you don't think these stories are likely.

lol, at least this isn't one of those situations where people damage someone's property thinking it is someone else's.

You are a dumbass then. If you DON'T turn off the lights while the car is BEEPING at you saying "Hey dumbass don't forget to turn the lights off" then you deserve to have your lights punched out as well.
