Car keys and stupid walls...

Yes i've done it again. I locked my keys in my car...for the 500th time. I can't remember if I've said this before but i think i may hold the world record for locking my keys in the car.
This time it was at my friend's house in oakleigh. We'd just gotten home from the movies and it was about midnight. I reached into my bag but couldn't hear the familiar jingle of my keys. I started sifting through the contents and with evey second that past i became more resigned to the fact that i had again locked my keys in my car. Upon inspection of my car this was confirmed by the sighting of my keys sitting in the ignition- bugger!
There is never a convenient time to lock your keys in the car but midnight, in oakleigh when its freezing cold and you don't have a jumper, is a particularly inconvenient time.
Lucky my friend Matt (diff matt to fiance matt) was very helpful. We set out in his car crusing the streets of oakleigh in search of that nylon tape that is wrapped around boxes.(you use it to jimmy your lock open) This of course meant going through bins. I must say a particular thank you to matt for doing the bin scab job. After searching the bins at someone's house, the milkbar and seven eleven, we struck gold at the dumpmasters at safeway.
Returning to Matt's house we,well actually he (i sat in his car because it was very cold..yes i know i'm a princess) managed to jimmy the lock open. YAY!
Oh an while i'm on the topic of cars i backed into a wall at work the other day. Its a stupid wall. A big stupid brick wall that is way too close to the car parks. I used to not park there because i was too scared i would back into the brick wall. But then i guess i got lazy and a little to confident in my ability not to back into a wall. Stupid wall.

ha ha. i love hearing all the different times you lock your keys int he car. it's usually pretty amusing..for us. i agree though, there is no way that anyone in the world could lock their keys in their car more than you ...i don't look forward to the day when you get a new car that will make noise when you open your door with the keys in the lock, or when you can't lock it if you don't have the keys in your hand. it will be a sad day for us all.
and of course, walls can be very very naughty sometimes. that's not your fault.
