Moving home and Miscellaneous: The key to happiness

The key to happiness

By Luke - 25/07/2010 22:47 - United Kingdom

Today, I was helping a friend move. Before we arrived, he put his key on my key ring to keep it safe. When we got there, he promptly shoved my front door key into the lock and snapped it clean off. Not only can we not get into his house, but now I can't get back into mine. FML

Today, I wanted nothing more than to go home and get into bed. While I was unlocking my front door, the flimsy key snapped off inside the lock. A locksmith was called out, who did nothing but sadistically guffaw at my misfortune and crack sarcastic jokes as he undid the lock. FML

Today, I got locked out of my house. After trying unsuccessfully to jimmy the lock, I managed to climb in through the kitchen window. I soon found out I had an effect on the door after all; it won't open at all any more, even with the right key. FML

Today, I lost my keys. My roommate locked me out, then yelled at me when I made her come home to let me in. I tore my room apart searching for them, and even went out to search my locker room. When I got home, I glanced at my wall only to find my keys hanging on the hook I set up specifically for them. FML

Today, after locking myself out of my house, I let myself into my car to wait on someone with a spare key. It took me 15 minutes to realise the house and car key share the same ring. FML

Today, I changed the locks on my apartment so my crazy ex girlfriend couldn't get in. I went to her house to return her house key. I accidentally gave her the key to my new locks, and can't find her old house key. Now I need her to come let me in to my own house. FML

Today, whilst heading out the door to go to work, my lanyard got caught on the doorknob inside, and I watched my keys swing back inside as the door closed behind me. It was locked. FML

Stranded

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I locked my keys in my car. After looking for the spare key for hours, we called our insurance company, who then sent a "locksmith" with a wedge and a bar to open my car. All he did was break the driver and passenger doorhandles. My stuff is still inside. FML

Today, I was arrested for breaking into a house. This is what happens when I lose my key. FML

Today, I broke my key unlocking my dorm room. When I pushed the door open in frustration, the door opened with no problem. Turns out it was unlocked. FML

Today, the handle on our front door broke, leaving us unable to open it. We got a guy to come to sort it out, but all he succeeded in doing was completely wrecking the door. He says he can come back next week. We have no other way out of the house. FML

good luck getting back into your house :D and your friend is a moron for breaking the key- you have to put a full amount of force to break it. I'd kill him if he did that to MY house key :p

well if you guys dont get why he "applied so mucb force" to physicaly snap the key its because when you insert a wrong key it doesnt fully turn so chances are your friend(the retard) thought his lock was being retarded and tried turning it really hard thus ur key being snapped but w.e call the cops they can actually help or call them and ask for like a locksmith number or some shit theyll help and btw FYL

I've snapped a key in half in a door lock before..And I was only 10. He doesn't have to be the hulk. That really sucks, OP.

[sigh] If the key is broken off in the lock you now have a door that can be unlocked with a flathead screwdriver. To remove the key, take the handle apart, pop the cylinder out and push the key out with something thin...like a dental pick or something. OR just replace the lock, they're not expensive. Knowing that there are this many stupid people on this planet is depressing.
