Today, I spent five minutes sitting in my car, panicking and tearing my purse apart because I couldn't find my keys. I then found them. They were in the ignition, and the car was running. FML

Today, I went through my purse to see where my keys were. I found my house keys, but not my car keys, so I freaked out. When I remembered that I was driving, I felt stupid. FML

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

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 my keys in the car and waiting three hours for my mom to bring me my spare, I reached into my bag only to find my keys. FML

Today, I locked my keys in my car. I had a spare key in my wallet, that I also left in the car. 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, after a week of looking for my car keys and being forced to drag my family around on public transportation, my wife found the keys in our car's ignition. FML

Today, I walked out of the store, car keys in hand, only to discover my car was missing. After a frantic search, I started to hyperventilate and a nearly had a full-blown panic attack. Then I remembered I walked to the store. I am an idiot. 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 had a job interview but couldn't find my car keys. I had searched the entire apartment and had missed the interview. Turns out they were in my pocket the entire time. FML

I did the exact opposite today. I was really confused that I couldn't make my truck go forward, until I realised I'd put my keys down in the back seat when I put my dog there. I swear the little bugger was laughing at me.

Sounds to me like you are stressed out. If you can have a holiday or the very least take a mental health day and stay in bed. Stress makes idiots out of us all.

I do that often with my pretty bad short term memory, but just don't let the stress or whatever's keeping you busy get to you, keep zen and everything will be fine :)

Within ten days of each other, I locked my car with the keys in the ignition, keeping it running. So I have "blonde moments" too when it comes to keys and cars. You're not alone OP.

We all in one way or another have been in similar or even same situation as you. A bit embarrassing when it happens..but nothing too major. You'll survive.
