Bikes and Miscellaneous: BIKES!

BIKES!

Today, I lost the key to my bike lock. I ended up having to cut it off, even though it was brand new. After spending 30 minutes hacking away at it, it finally came off. When I hopped onto my bike, I felt something poking my leg. My key was in my pocket the whole time. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I decided to bike to work. I normally forget the key to my lock, so I leave it out back and hope that nobody takes it, and nobody does. I finally remembered my lock key so I chained it up. After my 7 hour shift, I walk to the back only to find the lock had been cut, and my bike was gone. FML

Today, I thought I'd locked my house keys in my locker at work. Not having any replacement nearby, I decided to cut the padlock with the saw of my pocket-knife. It took 20 minutes and four cuts into my hand to destroy the padlock. It took another five seconds to find the missing key in my jacket. FML

Today, the key broke inside my lock and I ended up needing bolt cutters. Cool. FML

Today, I biked to the store to buy a new lock, since biking is my only form of transportation. I left my bike unattended for the last time, only to come back with a new chain, but no bike. FML

Locked and loaded

Today, I left work early, and discovered I was locked out of my house. I subsequently had to use a spoon I found on the ground to smash the bathroom window. I cut my leg on the glass when I climbed through. While inspecting the wound, I felt a lump in my pocket. It was my house key. FML

Today, my bike got stolen because I left my keys in the lock. On my way home, I saw my bike in front of a store, unlocked. I jumped on it, only to get punched in the face by the guy that had taken it, and got it stolen from me again. FML

Today, I spent forty minutes trying to break into my own house after being locked out. After finally getting in through a small unlocked window, I discovered my keys in my pants pocket. FML

Today, I rode my bike to the store because I only had a few things to pick up. When I walked back out after five minutes, my bike was stolen. I had gone to the store to buy a new bike lock. FML

Today, I came home from work to find the lock to my bike busted and my bike stolen. The worst part was a nicer bike was sitting right next to it without a lock. FML

iPod Classic, 7th Gen, 160 Go, the best ever

By abdominates - 23/10/2009 16:48 - Canada

Today, after a long workout I come back to my locker, to find my lock had been cut. I looked inside realizing my phone and iPod had been stolen. If that wasn't bad enough, my keys were gone. I ran out to the parking lot to find an empty spot where my car had once been parked. FML

YDI. Why was that not the first place you looked?

YDI. I agree with #1, that seems like a really obvious place to look before getting a saw and destroying the lock

Well sometimes (guy pants) they get covered by the fabric of the pants so you don't feel it. Since that was badly explained let me try again. Guys pants are baggy. The bagginess cause the fabric to fold on top of each other and doing so covering small objects like said key.

13--Then turn out said pockets before you spend half an hour cutting through metal.

#13, I've experienced that when wearing my Navy camouflage uniform. I always make sure to check my pockets thoroughly and make sure the fabric isn't all twisted up around the thing I'm looking for, before I assume I've lost something. It would be extremely inconvenient and embarrassing to report that I've lost a tool or helicopter part when I had it in my pocket the whole time. You'd think OP would likewise check his pockets more thoroughly before wasting a lot of time, energy, and money destroying a brand new bike lock.

Have you never had that situation where you're looking for the TV remote and it was in your hand the whole time? or when you lose your glasses and find them for propped on the top of your head?

You should keep track of things that are important like keys, although that sucks, you still deserved it for not knowing where you put it

YDI for not checking the most obvious place first.

Like everyone else is saying, check your pockets first. YDI, even though it sucks.

How little time did you spend looking if it was literally on you the whole time. YDI

How many others have checked the same place 2-3 times, checked everywhere else and then eventually found the item in the original place checked after giving up hope? Just me?
