Miscellaneous: Today, I wanted nothing more than to go home and get into bed....

Today, I wanted nothing more than to go home and get into bed. While I was unlocking my front door, the flimsy key snapped off inside the lock. A locksmith was called out, who did nothing but sadistically guffaw at my misfortune and crack sarcastic jokes as he undid the lock. FML

Today, I got locked out of my house. After trying unsuccessfully to jimmy the lock, I managed to climb in through the kitchen window. I soon found out I had an effect on the door after all; it won't open at all any more, even with the right key. FML

Today, I was locked out of my house. After hours of trying to break the door, I found out I accidentally left a window open. The door, however, still needs to be replaced. FML

Today, I paid a locksmith $100 after I locked myself out of my apartment. All he did was hit it, and it flung open. It wasn't locked, it'd just got stuck. FML

Today, I left work early, and discovered I was locked out of my house. I subsequently had to use a spoon I found on the ground to smash the bathroom window. I cut my leg on the glass when I climbed through. While inspecting the wound, I felt a lump in my pocket. It was my house key. FML

The key to happiness

Today, I was helping a friend move. Before we arrived, he put his key on my key ring to keep it safe. When we got there, he promptly shoved my front door key into the lock and snapped it clean off. Not only can we not get into his house, but now I can't get back into mine. 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, I locked myself out of my apartment. I've just realized that I could have spent $30 on an Uber or Lyft to my parents' place to grab the other set of keys instead of calling a locksmith and paying $280 for him to drill a hole through my doorknob, rendering all my keys useless. FML

Stranded

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, after getting home from the supermarket, I went to unlock the door so my dad could carry the groceries in. No matter how hard or how many different ways I tried, the lock wouldn't shift. My dad eventually grabbed the keys, twisted once, and after the door unlocked, called me an idiot. FML

You're paying him to unlock the door, not to be quiet. That's extra.

You should've seen the Italian plumber who came to my house. He had a huge nose and wore this weird red hat, and CONSTANTLY talked about "saving the princess". Such a strange fellow.

The same exact thing happened to my mom just right now... Except we had a really thick, solid key. It really does suck.

Stinks for you!! i've busted a few keys off in a lock. Did you have a leatherman on you? it works real well at pulling the bust part of the key out of the lock.

Report him! That was really rude. Doesn't matter what the business is, it's common sense to be polite to your customers.

Is "report him" your solution for everything in the USA? Most locksmiths run their own business, so reporting him would be pointless anyway, otherwise he is still entitled to his opinion regardless. Although maybe rude, reporting him won't do anything.

That did not sound happy. That sounded self-entitled and jerkish. I like the thought, though.

I feel sorry for you. Not fun AT ALL to be stuck outside your home in Denmark in this climate, with subzero temperatures at night, coupled with snow and wind...
