Today, I spent a quarter of an hour trying to figure out why my car wouldn't unlock, then why my number plate had changed. FML

Today, I tried to unlock my house's front door by hitting the unlock button on my car keys. It took me some time to realize my mistake. FML

Today, after numerous attempts, my car door still wouldn't unlock. After going ballistic on the lock, the key broke off inside. I then realized it wasn't my car. 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 spent 30 minutes trying to unlock my garage door. After shouting several profanities, my roommate walked up to me, turned the key the other way, and unlocked it. FML

Today, I couldn't see my car in a crowded car park. I pressed unlock on my keys and saw the lights flash. As I walked over I also saw someone run from my car with an armful of my stuff. FML

Today, I locked my keys in the car while the car was running because I got out to get the parking ticket attached to my windshield. FML

Today, my car key clicker wouldn't let me in. After a few frustrating minutes, I realized that, besides electronic capabilities, it's also an actual key that fits in a hole to unlock my door. FML

Cars these days…

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

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

Quarter of an hour? You spent that long doing that? You would of thought after a while why it didn't make much cents.

It took you 15 minutes to realize that wasn't your car? An intelligent person would have realized that it wasn't their car after a few seconds of trying to unlock it.

Quarter of an hour? 15 minutes. You spent 15 minutes trying to get in a car thats not yours.

Never once in my entire life have I heard someone refer 15 minutes as "a quarter of an hour"

All of you bashing the OP for saying "quarter of an hour" need to calm down. I know this FML is from the UK but where I live (Georgia) most everybody says "a guarter of an hour" or "half an hour" instead of 15 or 30 minutes. Its just something people say. sorry y'all had to think about how many minutes made up a quarter of an hour

The OP spent 15 minutes trying to unlock a car he thought was his. Only time he figured out it wasn't his car is when he saw the license plate number wasn't his. Does that make you less confused?
