This ol' truck

Today, while driving, I realized I had left my phone on top of my car when I was getting in. Panicking, I drove back to look for it. I found it in the middle of the street, still intact. Yay! When I went back to my car, I noticed I had locked my door, and the keys were in the ignition. FML

This is why you never... EVER... leave the keys in the ignition when you get out of the car.

Who the **** puts their phone on top of their car when they're getting in? Don't most people have it in their pocket or in their bag?

thats not even a good one... locking your keys in your car happens to everyone. now maybe if you were at a restaurant that was closed and you found your phone mangled it would be an FML. Today, while driving, I realized I had left my phone on top of my car when I was getting in after leaving a restaurant. Panicking, I drove back to look for it. I found it in the middle of the parking lot, destroyed. Boo! To make things worse when I went back to my car, I noticed I had locked my door. The place was closed and the keys were in the ignition. FML There is a better revised version worthy of FML status

A proposed alternate to your alternate: the phone is intact, but the battery dies just as you're about to call someone.

Did you try the other door? Sometimes when opening a door I accidently push against the little switch that shows it's locked or unlocked and lock my driver's door. Well... I say sometimes, but it only happened once, and I learned not to lean so heavily on the door lol Not so bad though, since your phone turned out to be okay. This is why I never place things on top of the car if I need a free hand.

How can you lock your car with the keys in the ingintion. With the new cars you can't, with the old ones you have to pull the door handle, push the lock stick and holding the door handle up while you are shutting the door. It is'nt so easy, so if you did it in a hurry, before reaching your phone in the middle of the street, YRDI But if you have a spare remote in your handbag, use it again!

That example applies to very old cars. o___O; And yes, it's really easy to lock the car with the keys in the ignition. What I wonder is how the door was locked.

They might have pressed the lock button that's usually on doors by accident or by habit that locks all the doors of the car, then shut the car, then voila, it was locked...

try this and you can see it doesn't work. ps: take a spare key, in case ;)

actually, some older-ish cars have doors that lock automatically a few seconds after the car is started (I've done this to my roommate's car before when I was clearing her car of snow before we left for class together). I'm not sure if it would lock again when the car had been running and then presumably parked, but it doesn't seem that much of a stretch knowing how stupid my roommate's car was about locking keys in (she did it like 3-4 times a year). my new (2009) car UN-locks the doors automatically whenever you put it in park, so I guess this is something I won't really have to worry about anymore :)

So basically.... Today, I locked my keys in the car. FML. Who the hell mods this crap? This gets in, but I submitted my complaint about having to listen to my hideously obese, male housemate have sex; him making the only noises except for moans (clearly of pain) from his petite girlfriend (which I imagine indicated that he put his weight on her), and didn't even get a response.
