Today, somebody stopped by the front desk at the hotel I work at to report a vehicle had its headlights on. I wrote down the info, including the plate. Hours later, after my shift was over, I finally realized that it was MY vehicle. The battery was dead. FML

Today, I woke up to find that I left my headlights on last night. I found out by the headlights of my car smashed and a post-it note on my windshield saying "you accidentally left your headlights on... I took care of that for you". FML

Today, I went out to my car to run some errands. It wouldn't start. I called AAA, only to find out my battery wasn't dead, it was stolen. FML

Today, I arrived twenty minutes early for my opening shift at work, so I decided to turn on the radio and wait in my nice warm car. I woke up two hours later with twelve missed calls from my boss and a dead car battery. FML

Today, my boss reported to the police that a suspicious car has been parked outside the store late at night. I walked outside and my car was gone. He had my car towed. FML

Classic case of the Mondays

Today, I took the bus after work. When I got to the remote parking lot, I realized my car had been stolen so I called the police to report it. When they came to take a statement and asked me when was the last time I saw my car was, I replied, “This morning, when I drove it to wo… Oh.” FML

Jump start

By stupidlights - 07/05/2009 03:08 - United States

Today, I left my lights on in my car, which I only realized at lunchtime, so I made sure to turn the lights off, and tried to start it. The battery was dead, so I called my dad to jump start it before I got back from my game. I later came back from the game and the lights were on. He'd left the lights on after jump starting it. FML

Today, I've owned my dream car for 11 days. Someone backed into it while it parked at work, and drove away without leaving a note. A man at a nearby business knows who did it but won't tell me because it was one of his customers. FML

Today, I got into a pretty heated argument with my boss. On my way out the door I told him he would be lucky if I came back to work. Unfortunately, I left the interior light on in my truck and it drained the battery. I had to go back in and ask for a jump. FML

Today, I went to drive my mom's car for a change. It wouldn't start, so I open the hood. Someone had stolen the battery. I go to start my own car so I can drive to the police station to report the theft, and discover someone siphoned off my gas. FML

Your headlights were on while you were at work? Maybe it's time to buy a thicker bra.

What I want to know is, how does somebody FORGET to turn off their lights? It's never happened to me. Cars usually makes a noise if you forget, so yeah...very stupid.

Mine doesn't, and it quite sucks. But I have a battery charger just in case. Anyways, YDI. How the hell does one not know their car?

Mine actually chooses whether or not it's going to make a sound. Also, if youre driving at dawn and the sun is up by the time you get to work, you don't notice. I've had it happen a few times, and I've seen it happen A LOT.

Wow, some people are angsty over this one. I don't really see what the big deal is. She probably parked somewhere new where she isn't used to seeing her car, and it perhaps it was a pretty generic shape and colour. I had a dark green/grey nissan bluebird a few years ago that looked similar to about half the other cars wherever it was parked. She was nice enough to bother reporting it with no motive but to save someone else a flat battery. Hardly a YDI for being too distracted to realise they were her plates.

If someone is going to take some time out of their life to report a vehicle with headlights on, they're most likely going to be specific about it. You wouldn't just say "Yeah, it's a silver car with the license plate 123ABC", because (assuming the person hadn't memorized their plate number) that description could very well fit almost half the cars there. That isn't very helpful at all, is it?Most people will include the make and model of the car, to really narrow it down. Like, for example, a Volkswagen Passat with the plate number 123ABC.

So assuming the person who reported it had the common sense to include the make and model, the OP is a complete idiot for not realizing or even considering the possibility that it might be hers. (Sorry I replied twice, but FML didn't post my full comment.)

Wow are you serious ^. she must have been too high or hungover to realize that was her car. She is a damn troll because any person in their right mind would have known. And what's the point of taking down that info if she didn't pass it on did anything with it. If she did she wouldn't have a dead battery.
