Today, I thought it would be funny to put some streamers on my bike handles, even though I knew they would probably be stolen fairly quickly. I went into a restaurant to eat, and when I came out both my wheels were gone, but at least the streamers were still there. FML

Today, my bike was stolen. Partially. Since I always locked it up, some asswipe thought it would be funny to steal the handlebar stem and the seat, leaving the actual handlebar dangling by the brake cables. Since there was no way to steer or sit, I had to carry my bike one mile back to my dorm. FML

Today, not only did someone steal my bike, they also managed to get wasted and drunkenly ride my stolen bike through my new screened-in front porch, destroying it and the bike. FML

Today, I rode my bike to the store because I only had a few things to pick up. When I walked back out after five minutes, my bike was stolen. I had gone to the store to buy a new bike lock. FML

Today, I went out to where I'd parked my bike only to find that someone had stolen my bike seat. Not the bike, just the seat. I had to ride my bike two miles home in the rain like I was climbing a hill in the Tour de France, while other cyclists moved out of my way in confusion, all while trying to avoid me. FML

Today, when I locked my newly repaired bike up, I carefully took the new rear light off it so that nobody could steal said light. Somebody stole my bike. At least I have a red light to play with. FML

Today, I replaced my car's windscreen wipers, after someone stole the last pair. After I finished, I went indoors for a drink. When I returned, the new ones had been stolen too. FML

Today, I woke up to all 4 of my wheels stolen from my car. The thieves were kind enough to leave the car resting on wooden blocks and bricks. FML

Today, I biked to the store to buy a new lock, since biking is my only form of transportation. I left my bike unattended for the last time, only to come back with a new chain, but no bike. FML

Today, I decided to bike to work. I normally forget the key to my lock, so I leave it out back and hope that nobody takes it, and nobody does. I finally remembered my lock key so I chained it up. After my 7 hour shift, I walk to the back only to find the lock had been cut, and my bike was gone. FML

Today, I went to eat out. When I sat down, I realized I forgot my straw. I took my purse with me, not wanting it to get stolen. Someone stole my food instead. FML

how is a bike lock going to keep the wheels from being stolen?

Poor SOMAgirl! You should have put the Kryptonite lock on the wheels instead of the streamers! Who locks down streamers?

I tried to post an FML with the infamous "trying to be sexy" in it. The moderators would have none of it -- they rejected it with extreme prejudice. Congrats on getting an FML through. Sorry it cost you some bike wheels. Oh, the sacrifices we make for our art! If it's any consolation, one of my rejected FML's cost me a pair of glasses.

I did! Hairy manboobs don't have many takers in the hallowed halls of FML HQ. They do elsewhere ;)

Yeah, I gotta be honest. I LOL'd for this one. But that still sucks.

You're supposed to remove a wheel and chain it to the other one and the frame. Really, don't leave your bike open like that.

I'm surprised they didn't take the whole bike! It looks like they did you a favor. By ruining your bike, they also ruined all opportunities you had to make a fool out of yourself by riding it. "Today, I decided it would be cool to put streamers on my bike. FML"
