Today, I got into my car and it wouldn't start. I noticed I had left the lights on and assumed the battery was dead. Then, I couldn't get my key out of the ignition. So, I called AAA only to have the guy put my car in park and start the engine. FML

Today, I went out to my car to run some errands. It wouldn't start. I called AAA, only to find out my battery wasn't dead, it was stolen. FML

Today, I pulled into a parking lot, for the car to simply shut off because I ran out of gas. Then I couldn't get the key out of the ignition, so I called my dad, who walked all the way to where I was, only to find out that the car was still in drive. FML

Jump start

By stupidlights - 07/05/2009 03:08 - United States

Today, I left my lights on in my car, which I only realized at lunchtime, so I made sure to turn the lights off, and tried to start it. The battery was dead, so I called my dad to jump start it before I got back from my game. I later came back from the game and the lights were on. He'd left the lights on after jump starting it. FML

Piece of shit car

By Anonymous - 15/08/2019 16:04

Today, I went to Auto Zone because my car was having trouble starting, and I thought it was the battery. The guy checked it with their reader, and confirmed it was dying. Right after he put the battery in, my starter died. I had to get my car towed to the shop. FML

Today, while on the job I accidentally locked my keys and all of my equipment in the car. I work for the AAA. FML

Today, after having my car back for a few months after a $2,000 repair, I got in, only for it to not start. Don't worry. It's not the battery. It's the engine, which was fine yesterday. FML

Today, I picked up my car from the repair shop, drove two miles, and ran out of gas. I then walked to get gas, put a gallon of gas in the car, and tried to start it. The battery was too weak to start the car, and died on the spot. FML

Today, the little bell in my car that lets you know your keys are still in your ignition went out. How did I find out? I locked myself out of both my house and my car. FML

Today, I locked my keys in my car. After spending 20 minutes on the phone with AAA, and then waiting a half hour, the guy showed up, he stuck his hand in the driver's side window and asked, "You couldn't just reach in?" I forgot I left the window open. FML

Cars these days…

By Kevin - 08/10/2024 12:00 - Canada - Ottawa–Gatineau

Today, my relatively new car locked down, with my keys inside of it, while it was still running. In a panic because it was getting dark and I was already low on fuel, I called a locksmith. He showed up and told me he needed to see some ID before unlocking the car. My ID was in the car. FML

Umm wow. Petty much. People aren't stupid because of that, they probably had things on your mind to where they forgot... Rude ass people these days.

Was that second comment really necessary? It seems like you're just trying to rub it in. "ppl" and "r" doesn't show that she doesn't know how to spell, its just text language, "your" on the other hand is a show of poor grammar when you're trying to say "you're".

Because it's really annoying. How hard is it to type those 2 extra letters in "your"?

I'm sorry 44, but if you think people on FML are too mean, it might not be the place for you. At least not yet.

Constructive criticism.

Margie, don't complain about other peoples spelling mistakes when you clearly can't spell yourself. This is the second time I've had to correct you in this FML. *You're.

Just because one says "no ****", it doesn't make their act any less "****" then it was. So saying "constructive criticism" doesn't justify you lashing out at somebody.

For a second there I thought this was an April Fool's FML. But nope, just another derpy OP.

But you can't get out of park without turning the ignition and the key gets stuck if not in park. So how did it all begin?

I'm sure these AAA guys get stuff like this (and worse!) all the time. Don't worry, if he didn't call you a dumbass to your face, I'm sure he did to his colleagues. They're probably all having a good laugh at your expense right now. There, don't you feel better?

No worries, OP. This actually happened to me today and I was freaking out to my dad thinking the battery had died. Quite embarrassing but at least it's a mistake we'll never make again!
