Today, I had my car valeted at my hotel. The manager came out, took my keys, and said the car would be waiting for me in an hour. I was then forced to watch from the lobby as the "manager" sped off downtown. FML

Today, I decided to splurge and get valet parking at a fancy restaurant. I got out of the car and gave the man my keys and watched as he slowly backed my car into another car. 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 went to get my car washed at one of those places where you can watch through the glass. I watched in horror, face pressed against the glass, as my car went through with the window down. FML

Today, I found my company car wrecked in a ditch. Apparently, leaving it parked on an icy hill all night was a bad idea. I have to pick up my manager from the airport. FML

Today, I dropped my car keys down the elevator shaft at my dorm. I had parked my car at a parking meter, and now had no way to get change out of my car. It took six hours for someone to get my keys, and I now have a $75 parking ticket. 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, I had a job interview at a restauraunt opening up. One manager hypothetically asked me why I should be hired. I said I was more efficient than most. I left to find I'd locked my keys in the car. It took all the managers to help me get my keys out. FML

Today, I took my car to a car wash, and when I got it back, one of the rearview mirrors was missing. Someone knocked it off and the management refuses to cooperate on who was the thief. FML

Today, I found out the day manager has been illegally entering my apartment when I’m not home. My car was in the shop, so when he saw my parking spot empty, he came right on in. I was just getting out of the shower and was standing stark naked. He didn’t even try to explain. Just smirked. FML

Today, I took my SUV in to get the oil changed, and the tires rotated. They allowed me to stay there, because they said it would only take 30 minutes. So I sit there in the waiting room, and I look through the window only to see my SUV falling off the lift, from 6 feet in the air. FML

This is why I don't trust valet parking.

I had a friend who would try to get me to valet park, and this is the reason why I wouldn't. If it is the real manager, then he's an idiot and it will make his business look bad, but since you said "manager" FYL especially.

Why would you trust strangers with your car.

1) why did you ask a question as a sentence? 2) why can't you understand what valet is? 3) why am I typing like this?

So did you do anything about it? Or let it sped off just like that?

Well they said they had to watch from the lobby so it doesn't necessairily mean the person didn't really work there. You've never heard of A valet takin a nice car for a joyride? Either way, If they gave them the actual valet key and not the real key you use to drive everyday, the car will turn off after about 5/10 minutes.

why would the manager do the parking anyway? a lot of places (not all) have people hired specifically for that, and the manager should have something more important to do. AND why didn't you call the cops or anything?

yeah I totally agree, op should've ******* run out there, sprinted down the highway or road, outrun his own car on foot and jacked that shit back. ******* hell people, this isn't Halo, get a damn grip on reality already

You're an idiot. No one is saying the OP should have outrun the car! By saying "forced to watch " it implies they had no other options other than standing there watching someone take their car-- which is NOT true. OP could have shouted, ran outside to get other people's attention, went to the front desk...
