Anime Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 I am an idiot. I just locked my keys in my car. Again. *facepalm* *headdesk* I'm really mystified that no one (myself included) thought to have a spare up here. I'm going to need a keyless entry when I get my own place seeing I'm forever locking keys in the things they open. I've left my dorm key in my room on several occasions as well.

Masaryk Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Was your car running at the time? I've done that before. I had to call my father-in-law to bring me a spare key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anime Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 I'm not quite that much of an idiot. The car was off and parked, I just failed to grab them out of the ignition. My parents are shipping the spare via UPS. I tend to have a better reponse to sound (engine, pinging because I didn't turn the headlights off, alarm reminder on my phone, ect) than memory or sight.

Spritzie Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Don't feel bad Anime. When I was 16-17 I used to do it so often, I started carrying a spare in my purse. Then I had a remote for my SUV, and I nearly got myself locked out. I was pumping gas, and I'd thrown the keys on the seat. My car had a feature where if not locked, it automatically locks itself 5 minutes after the last door shuts. For some reason, me opening the door and getting back in, didn't reset it. I'd been in the car for 15 seconds, and the car locked. (Thankfully with me and the keys in it.) If I'd be outside, I was one block from my apartment, but my apartment keys were in my purse, which was in the car. It was raining, but I could have walked to my apartment and had them let me in. But, it was after hours so I would have had to have paid, and waited, then walked back. It could have been horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Around here, you can call the taxi coop to get them to unlock your doors :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masaryk Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Tow trucks here charge 40$ for an unlock. We've had to call a tow truck for that before when the remote for my husband's car died. The locks are actually broken, so just unlocking the door with a key is out of the question. And thanks for implying that I'm an idiot, Anime. :laughingsmiley: For a bit of background on locking my keys in a running car: it was winter, and I wanted the car to warm up a bit before I had to go to class, so I started the car, took out the snow brush to clear the snow from it, then compulsively locked the door before closing it. Thankfully, I only did that once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 My husband and I had that issue Meghan. It was right before New Years, during a huge storm, and my clicker (yes, I call it a clicker, not a remote.) wouldn't work. And the trick is, my car had this security system that if you locked the doors with the clicker, it turned on the alarm. If you tried to then unlock the doors without the clicker by using the key, it would set off the alarm. And it was a factory built-in alarm that required some silly chain of events to shut it off. (And I couldn't remember what it was.) I finally took my clicker apart and messed with the battery until it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anime Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Ah, sorry, didn't mean to do that. I'm still kicking myself for managing to lock my keys in. This is the... 4th or 5th time I've done it with my car (all the other times I was at home) and I've left my dorm key in my room on 5 or 6 occasions, including one rather spectacular fail in which I also locked my ID card and driver's license in with them. Only reason I didn't need an escort was because someone at the front desk recognized me from a previous incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masaryk Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Lol, I don't care. It was pretty idiotic of my to lock my keys in a running car. That's some pretty bad luck with the dorm room keys. Does the door automatically lock, like a hotel room door, when you leave the room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marabot 108 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I hate that about hotels, I find it embarassing when my parents are out and I need to go downstairs and ask for a room key -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anime Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 No. There's three "settings" with the lock. Unlocked, locked but unlocks when the knob is turned on the inside, locked and stays locked. I have it on setting three because otherwise I... would never remember to lock it. Like I said, I remember such things best if there's a sound to remind me. I can look at something go "I should deal with that in just a moment..." and proceed to completely forget about it. Word of warning: If we should ever have some cool staff RL get together, don't give me the keys to anything. I'll just lock them inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
