Dumb oh crap moments
Posted: Thu Mar 31, 2011 11:26 am
Tuesday I was at Bunnings and in all the rush after loading half the store into the left side of the ute I locked the keys in the car, oh crap
Found some plastic packing strap, no good, bought some wire and again no good and was starting to mark the paint so gave up, damn it, called locksmith who took 2 mins to make a key and $66. Priceless.
So now I have this extra spare key that opens the door, i think the smart thing to do here is hide it outside the vehicle somewhere right, yep I get home and forget to do it.
Yesterday day I am at Woollies etc, same scenario loading the ute left side and I close the door, oh shite
you guessed it, keys on the seat and a locked the door
You know what, that key that the locksmith had made, it is in the ashtray of all places, you idiot I was telling myself.
So I settled myself and realised the door hadnt completely shut, ah ha might be in with a chance, tried wire trick again...fail...bugga i will have to cab it home and get the spare, so after resigning myself to this plan and about to dial a cab I give the left door a shove to close it properly and up came the lock button...you bloody buewdy
followed by I am such a dumb ass
You know what, I did it again this morning making it 3 days in a row, fortunately I didn't lock the door this time, dunno what it is with this habit of tossing keys on the seat but thats gotta stop ffs
Guess what I am doing today?
