Today, my car keys decided to play hide and seek. Good news: I found them under my bed. Bad news: it was after my job interview was scheduled to start. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a job interview but couldn't find my car keys. I had searched the entire apartment and had missed the interview. Turns out they were in my pocket the entire time. FML
Today, I was running late for an important job interview because I couldn't find my keys. I place the keys on my kitchen counter every day to prevent exactly this type of situation. After few minutes and missing my interview, I finally found my keys, in my hand. FML
Today, I couldn't get to work because I couldn't find my car keys. It turns out, my mother took them and put them "somewhere safe." She can't remember where they are. FML
Today, I locked my keys in my car. I had a spare key in my wallet, that I also left in the car. FML
Today, my keys disappeared out of my car door during the 50 foot walk to the trash can. When I finally went to security after trying to find them, they said someone drove off with my car right as I walked in the door. FML
Today, after locking my keys in the car and waiting three hours for my mom to bring me my spare, I reached into my bag only to find my keys. FML
Today, after a week of looking for my car keys and being forced to drag my family around on public transportation, my wife found the keys in our car's ignition. FML
Today, I lost my keys while at the supermarket. I franticly back-tracked through the store, asking everyone I saw along the way. They eventually showed up, right where I left them... in my unattended car, the engine still running. There was an announcement made over the PA system. FML
Today, my toddler thought it would be funny to hide my car keys. After searching for hours, I found them in his toy box. FML
Today, I went through my purse to see where my keys were. I found my house keys, but not my car keys, so I freaked out. When I remembered that I was driving, I felt stupid. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Always keep your car keys in the same spot or else things like these happen!

I don't think telling the person interviewing you that you lost a game of hide and seek with your keys is a smart thing to do.

Use your persistence in looking for the keys as a reason to hire you; it shows you never give up!

Always keep a spare set of car keys hung up in your house.

Yeah thy works great... Unless you have a key like mine with a computer chip that costs $80 just for a spare. Since OP is looking for a job, I doubt he has that much cash

Right, blame it on the car keys because everyone knows keys are sentient.

Welshite - Careful about using difficult words like "sentient" around here. People will think you made it up, much like that imaginary country "Paraguay".

Should've took a cab

That wouldn't have been very professional of OP.

Your car keys decided to play hide and seek? Last time I checked-- they're inanimate objects and can't move. If you weren't up early enough and get your things ready well in advance knowing you have an important job interview-- YDI. Obviously you must not have taken it seriously enough to be prepared and be ready. Hopefully people who are more serious about the job will get the position now. If anything-- you should've atleast called the company to inform them you'd be a little late possibly.

Hey pal, why don't you get off your period. He/she was obviously being sarcastic. This is a website where you laugh; not where you throw a hissy fit over someone losing their keys. Now if you would kindly shut the hell up.

The hide-and-seek part was sarcasm good god and maybe OP did get up early and was leaving at the right time but couldn't find the keys.

DocBastard 40
HAHAH...wait, what? This doesn't seem to make any damned sense at all. Oh, and you should have said "Shouldn't have", genius.
MichellinMan 20
Where did you get that? Seriously, out of anything that was written there, you got that.

You see, we have a key bowl to prevent this exact situation.

Ok, Car keys do not play hide and seek, people to lazy about where you keep your keys is the real issue here. I would not give you the job just because of that.
retrorewind 13
you've never misplaced your keys before? If OP is anything like me, I have a busy life. at times, i may feel overloaded on everything coming my way. a

sry, my phone took a dump while i was in the middle of my other comment. point is, lazy or not, life happens and some are fuller than others on some days.

Smart people don't lose their keys, morons do, because they don't have a set place for them. When I come home the first thing I do, no matter what is put my keys and my wallet in their proper place. And OP obviously DIDN'T have too much going on, he's unemployed!

Why, playing hide and seek of course!
