Today, I rented a car that has a smart key. The proximity of the key determines if the doors will unlock. I went to a meeting and returned to the car with the trunk popped open and all my luggage gone. The rental company decided to store a spare key in the glovebox for safekeeping. FML

Mass

By LockedOut - 25/07/2009 00:55 - United States

Today, my auto-repairman told me my heavy mass of keys was bad for the ignition switch and suggested I separate my house and car keys. I began to carry my car keys and lock the house keys in my glovebox. My car was stolen. I now have car keys but no car and a house with no house key. FML

Today, my keys disappeared out of my car door during the 50 foot walk to the trash can. When I finally went to security after trying to find them, they said someone drove off with my car right as I walked in the door. FML

Today, I locked my keys in my truck. The good news is that I have a spare set in my house. The bad news is that my house key is on the same keyring as my locked-in truck key. FML

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 locked my keys in my car. My spare keys are 45 minutes away in my dorm room. My dorm room keys are attached to my car keys locked in my car. Security said they would let me in as long as I had my school ID. It's on my keychain. FML

Today, I locked my keys in my car. Good thing I went to Lowe's to make spares, which are also now locked in the car. FML

Beep Beep Who's Got the Keys to the Jeep

By Loser - 12/08/2017 03:30 - Australia - Adelaide

Today, I lost my keys while at the supermarket. I franticly back-tracked through the store, asking everyone I saw along the way. They eventually showed up, right where I left them... in my unattended car, the engine still running. There was an announcement made over the PA system. 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

Same thing happened to my family when we went to Disney for a week. EXCEPT they didn't steal it.

This isn't possible, for reasons others have stated. You just didn't lock the car properly.

A smart key is like the newer model cars where you don't have to use the key in an ignition switch...as long as it is in the car, you push the button while holding the brake in and it will start. Another feature of the smart key, is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to lock the doors while the key is inside the car. Well, as long as the key inside works. Anyway, YDI for not realizing that even though you pushed the lock button (probably) that the doors did not in fact lock. Always check to make sure the doors locked, especially in an unfamiliar vehicle.

There is no lock button, that's what a smart key is: when you leave the car the doors lock automatically. And you can't check whether they have or not because when you walk back up to the car with your key in your pocket or hand the doors unlock!

they should have told you, but I have a car with a smart key. if the key is in the car it won't lock and it beeps at you to let you know the key is inside. it prevents you from locking your keys in the car. the car was probably beeping but with it being a rental she probably didn't know why.
