Help!

Today, I was leaving my job at a huge mall. I couldn't find my car anywhere, so I panicked and flagged a security officer. I cried while he drove me around for miles in the endless parking lot. Then, suddenly, I remembered. My friend had dropped me off in the morning. FML

Today, I couldn't find my car in a mall parking lot. After 30 minutes of searching, I reported it stolen to the mall security. It turns out that I'd parked it on the opposite side of the mall. Security escorted me to my car, all while giving me pitiful looks. FML

Today, my friend and I were getting picked up by his dad after a carnival. As I put my stuff in the back of the car and shut the door to walk around to get in the other side, his dad drove off, thinking I was in the car, leaving me to walk up their hill. It was midnight and I ended up lost. FML

Today, I finished my shopping at Costco, and realized I had forgotten where I had parked. After scouring the parking lot for 20 minutes, I called the police and filed a report for a stolen vehicle. I then remembered I had bought a new car yesterday and parked it right next to the entrance. FML

Today, I was following my friend to her house in my car, because I didn't know where it was. I'd been following her for at least an hour when she pulled into a gas station. Turns out I'd been following the wrong car. I have no idea where I am. FML

Today, I woke up at 7 am to take my last final. When I got to the parking lot, I realized my car was missing. After speaking to the police for 3 hours, I called my girlfriend to let her know what happened. She then told me I had parked on the street the night before. So much for the 8 am final. FML

Today, I drove to the airport and parked in extended stay. As the plane was going down the runway, I tried to spot my car. I found it very quickly, as the car alarm was going off and all its lights were flashing. FML

Today, my car was stolen from my driveway. I reported it to the police, the insurance company, and my neighbors, and begged for help via social media. As I walked to catch a bus, I saw my car parked outside my school. I forgot I left it there last night. FML

Today, my boss reported to the police that a suspicious car has been parked outside the store late at night. I walked outside and my car was gone. He had my car towed. FML

Today, I borrowed a roommate's car to get groceries. I came out to find the car stolen. I called the cops, and the responding officer took the info and drove me home to give the roomie the bad news in person. 15 minutes later, they found the car. I'd parked it on the opposite side of the lot. FML

Today, I walked out of the store, car keys in hand, only to discover my car was missing. After a frantic search, I started to hyperventilate and a nearly had a full-blown panic attack. Then I remembered I walked to the store. I am an idiot. FML

OP, i feel for you. I'm also prone to losing my car. Now i always make a mental note of where I parked. If it's at an airport long-term parking, I send myself a text message with my exact location so I can find it when I return home from my trip.

Yes. I saw it on a t-shirt once and when it was time to make my FML name, that is what came to mind. It isn't directed at anybody in particular though, just meant to be humorous.

Ah... dude I was going to give you so many cool points for the name until you didn't know where it came from (Frank Booth... Blue Velvet). Please watch Blue Velvet now, you will be so much more happy about your FML screen name.

Totally did this same sort of thing the first time I took my husband lunch at work on base, except my car WAS there. It took me 45 minutes wandering around the various parking lots crying to find it. Then I got so lost trying to get back off base that I was driving for 3 hours before I found an MP to ask how to get out of there. My husband beat me home. To top off the day, my puppy had figured out how to turn the door knob and get out of his room. He had shredded all my family photos, my professional portfolio of all my work for school (which couldn't be duplicated because my computer had crashed, taking all my documents with it 2 months previously), and had shat in 3 places throughout the house, then rolled in 2 of the piles. AWESOME day.
