Today, my wallet got stolen. I had a bunch of cash, my SS card and my license in it. Now I have to replace everything, only to have to renew my license again when I turn 21 in June. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my wallet got stolen. I don't have a photo ID to get a temporary debit card, and since I don't have a debit card, I can't go to the DMV to get a new license. FML
Today, I finally went to the DMV to replace my lost license. After waiting for almost two hours, I casually rummaged through my purse. Something strange inside the lining caught my eye. It was my license. FML
Today, I left my wallet on top of my car when I filled up with gas. I drove away and didn't realize it until I got home. I went back and found it on the side of the road. Empty of my credit cards, pictures and checks. All that was left was my driver's license. FML
Today, I went to the store to buy some groceries. Several hours later I realize that I can't find my wallet. After looking all over my house and then the store parking lot, I had my credit cards cancelled. On the drive home, I feel something under me. It was my wallet. FML
Today, I went to go get a new ID because my wallet was stolen, which had my social security card in it as well. I found out that to get your ID you have to have your social security card, and to get your social security card, you need your ID. FML
Today, I went to Walmart with all my birthday money, which I had in a wallet with my permit and everything else. I was sat on a bench looking for items for my iPod Touch However… I left my wallet behind. Turns out an old couple stole it. I got my shit jacked by grandparents. FML
Today, I realized that I'm on the top of not having my drivers license/ state ID (I was submitting my taxes and needed it) I also threw away my brand new passport because I thought it was trash in my boyfriends car. FML
Today, I finally got my ass into gear and went to the DMV to renew my driver's license. I waited in line for over two hours, only to find out that I had brought my library card instead of my license. FML
Today, I finally got enough money to buy the car I wanted for a year now. It was stolen today too. I had my car for 4 hours. FML
Today, I was pulled over and fined $100 for driving without a license, as I'd accidentally left home without my wallet. I later found my wallet wedged beside my car seat, where it had been the entire time. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

to be kind and fast, carrying your social security card in your wallet is dumb. as others have stated it says right on the card NOT to carry the card at all times, and I although I am not 100% sure about it but MOST states allow people to renew their licence 60-90 days(2-3months) before their birthdays so in theory you should be able to renew your licence at the same time that you request a new copy be sure to ask the person you speak to at the DMV

First off... ALWAYS leave your ss card at home, in a safe. Second! this is why I never carry cash with me. only cards (you can cancel your card if lost/stolen) it's a harsh way of learning. but, you live and you learn!

This sounds kind of fake. Pretty much anyone with common sense wouldn't give a shit about renewing their license when someone has their SSN, id, and cards. The amount of damage someone could do with that is enough to ruin the rest of OP's life.

You just may have potentially lost your identity... you better get on top of this really fast... someone stole my brother's identity 25 years ago and he is still trying to get his life figured out... he has massive back child support bills from women he has never known... he has a lot of hospital bills and has never had to go to the hospital... he has a vehicular homicide... and going to authorities doesn't help him because his real name is only an alias in the law's eyes... my brother has lost his entire life because of this... my brother has had to go to jail because of someone else using his identity... please for your own self, get on the ball with this because it could be the ruin of your life if you don't get on this right away!!!

actually alot of people do typically real men do. so that they can always be prepared for job opportunities and other affairs. I understand your pain there tho. mine had been missing for three weeks. And I have lost four new job opportunities because of it. they paid more too...

So real men are idiots who keep an important document in a wallet that can easily be lost or stolen? Wouldn't a "real man" keep the card at home and take it out on an as needed basis to reduce the risk of it being stolen? Or is that just smart men?

You can't just throw around the phrase "real men" just because you do some dumbass shit and want to be proud of it for some reason.

you don't have to renew your license at 21 you can use your under 21 license until it expires

See, now this is why you NEVER, under any circumstance, keep your SS info in your wallet. It's just way too damn easy for someone to take it and ruin your life. Sorry to say OP, but you may have deserved it. Be more careful next time.
