Going to have to go with "no".

Ydi you should have known at some point you'd need to change your car battery and this would be a problem. You should have replaced your cars remote ASAP and took responsibility.

YDI for not maintaining your remote.

he probably drives a Mitsubishi. I have one and the security system is wack on it. I haven't had a stereo in it for 3 months because it's locked.

I agree with 15. You shouldn't go 6 months without having your car's security system activated. OP is just lucky his car hasn't been stolen.

You know, sometimes people don't have the money to get everything fixed like most of you "perfect" assholes. Shit happens and sometimes shit falls at the wrong time and you can't recover overnight.

63: woah there. Wasn't trying to insult anyone. If you can't afford a replacement remote lock for your car in SIX MONTHS, something isn't right.

You know, they might be paying off a funeral, along with insurance, bills, and everything else, you don't know. I think its hilarious I get on here and happen to find all the Stepford Wives. Everyone "perfect" and giving the "perfect I do this" advice when most of the people on here are hypocrites. "YDI for not fixing the remote." I guarandamntee you have something in/around your house you have "forgotten" or didn't have the money to repair it. EVERYONE does, period. And I know you didn't mean to offend me and its not personal but damn..

I never said OP deserved it, and I never declared that I am perfect.

74 - when agreeing with 15's comment, we're gonna assume your agreeing with his ydi too. On top of that, the wording of your comment appears like you believe OP does deserve it. When 73 say's perfect, she doesnt mean it literally. Shes just saying that while some people may have the money and time to fix things immediately, not everyone is given that choice because of other financial problems. TL;DR? Not everyone ***** money out their ass.

84: if you can't afford a remote lock for six months, you probably shouldn't own a car, because the chances you can afford to even maintain it properly are slim. And yeah, my wording was kinda poor, my bad. inb4 "how should OP get around then," because, public transportation.

Thank you sonuskos (84). Exactly. I just don't like how people act like they do everything correctly and are assholes on here being "perfect". And nnnope (90) How old are you because I'm questioning how many responsibilities you actually have. Its kind of like saying that just because you can't buy your child a new pair of shoes you don't deserve to have that child or just because you can't fix the window on your car that broke because it'll cost 1000$ you dont deserve it. That's just plain retarded. I still can't afford to get my truck painted and primed (a job I'm doing myself and I've had my truck for a year) because I have shit called: electric, gas, water, and sewer bills, insurance, food, and shit my father and I need payments.

91: I also never said what anyone does or doesn't deserve. I'm 21 and I own (and am able to maintain) my own car. I don't know why you interpreted "why let 6 months to by?" as "I'm better than everyone else because this hasn't happened to me." I'm in no way trying to demean or offend anybody, and I'm not trying to assume that the OP's situation is fortunate or unfortunate. My agreement with 15 was based on a neutral standpoint, though I still do not feel OP deserved what happened. Like you said, shit happens.

*why let 6 months GO by. Ugh.

I love when my comments get thumbed down just because they're in the same thread as other thumbed-down comments. Sigh.

Comments that people actually agree with are getting thumbed up -__-

That shit ain't cheap. My dad had to fix the security system on his car, ran him almost 800 dollars.

It isn't the system that needs replacing. It's the remote for it

@116 you get thumbed down cause you're an idiot

people get thumbed down because when you reply to a comment, you should reply to the poster, not ******* thread jack.

Seeing as how it was after market, and on a car that is seventeen years old, I don't think that not being able to afford to fix a jank anti-theft system should put me in the category of "probably shouldn't own a car. I keep up with the maintenance and mechanical needs of my car just fine, thank you.

Let's see you throw out the money for that on an old car. Remotes aren't cheap, especially for systems that are no longer produced, and haven't been for quite some time now.

nothing helps the idiots shut up better than the original poster clearing up the things they based their entire opinion on as completely false! :D

Just about all alarms have a manual override for exactly this reason

How much does a remote even cost? Because i'm looking at a site that says 20$...

Well in that case, you should've expected bad shit to happen with a 17 year old car. You should be glad that thing hasn't gave out on you while driving (unless you overhauled it or something).

just for the record, I know this. I work all the time, mostly during Mitsubishi office hours. Some people do have common sense. shocking,I know.

You didn't read the FML did you..

rush to get first comment gets a lot of people. this is definitely not the worst mess up I have seen though.

I wonder why he doesn't go to the dealer for a new remote. That's what I did. It's a simple task. Go in. Just gave them insurance and license to prove its my car. Boom. Done. New remote.

Not if it's a Ford dealership

Well I've never owned a ford. I'm going by how it works at MB. I would assume if you break or lose a remote all dealers would be helpful to replace it though.

There should be a bypass button, usually under the dash. you press it, while you put your key in the ignition and turn. Alarm is bypassed

it seems that whenever a car alarm goes off, nobody thinks, oh dome is trying to break into a car, its always more along the lines of SOMEBODY TURN THAT SHIT OFF NOW!!!!

Yeah, and they're a complete waste of money ever since those "human rights" commies made it illegal for car alarms to be equipped with flame throwers.

Then do why James Bond had on his car in tomorrow never dies. Door handles that electrocute you with 110V of electricity.

because hes ******* james bond. he doesn't even need a reason to **** a married women, just feels like it and boom! shes naked!

thank you for stating the obvious

You're welcome

On occasion they can simply lose their program as too. But you deserve it. Maintain your vehicle better.

I do maintain my vehicle, thank you.

If OP is as frustrated as he sounds, don't think it would help very much

Oh sorry, I should have thought of that! Shit, you're right. In that case she should have given him a fuel inspection, fiddled with his lug nuts, and then given him some rearview action.

Little boy get a life ! The way you talk you must be a 12 year old boy that lives in dream land!

Damn #45 why so serious? Lets put a smile on that face. Na but really why are you being a grumpy gills?

What? Little? I'm 19. Kindly remove your head from your ass. You sound like a condescending asshole that lives in dream world. Do me a favour and please think before opening that mouth of yours that has obviously little to no connection to whatever is proclaiming itself as a brain in there.

Yeah #51 she acts like she is so old and mature. She is only 23 years old.

I'm sorry. It was entertaining at first but I can't let this go on any longer. People, pleonasm is referring to a recent FML in which someone's girlfriend left a love note in his car, but she left the lights on so that his battery died. Again I apologize, but I simply could not let the idiocy continue.

You ruined all my fun, gracehi! Anyway, yea, I'm at some of the people who realy didn't get this...

Lol I didn't mean to put the comment to bash you, just stating a possibility. But at the same time, a car inspection would help

Well a love letter would probably bring OPs morale up right about now.

#81 - The joke still went way over your head... Read #53's comment.

Yeah thats why I never buy the most expensive comfy furniture for my living room. Cuz as soon as I get real comfortable I instantly lose control of my bowels.
