I Got Locked Out My Car

[Jack]

So I drove in to town today to buy some manly junk food to eat while I play MW2. I got what I wanted and walked back to the car.

I didn't unlock the car, I just popped open the boot (trunk) with my keys, threw the food in to the boot of the car, went to slam the boot shut and during mid slammage I saw my keys resting on a bag of shopping. I was like "OH SHIT" and my keys were like "lawlz, u fool". So yeah, I got locked out my car. I couldn't just open the boot because the fucking button to open it is on the keys.

In the end, I had to call AA services and they came and broke in to my car for me. I'd also forgotten to wear a jacket, so I had to wait in the cold.

So yes, I'm an idiot. However, has this happened to anyone else on NG?

You should try unlocking it?

[StrangelyMauled]

You should have taken your shirt off, wrapped it around your hand and punched the window out. It wouldn't solve your lack of keys, but hey...whatever.

sounds like a FML moment... thats why i use one of those tied to your waist things for my keys... thay just snap back to my waist everything i need them

[Alex12345269]

Just bust the window next time.

I drive a mini, which uses an electronic key. As long as the keys are within 5 feet of the car I can open it with a button on the handles, even if they're locked inside :P

This makes me think of Family Guy when Peter got locked inside of his car.

What if you're stuck at a red light and someone tries to force their way in knowing this?

I'm a country dweller, not a ghetto city dweller! That never happens here.

I was actually thinking that as I waited in the cold. Might put it on my Christmas wish list.

Also, I only had to wait 26 minutes for the AA to arrive. However, people kept staring at him because it looked like I was trying to break in to somebody's car.

Do you by chance live on your own? I've ben locked out of my car a few times, but I've never had to call anyone but members of my own family, as I live with them. I guess it's a nice way to live with your family. Although the independence in older age probably rules it out anyway.

That sucks. I've done this before when my friend was with me. I had gone to buy my boyfriends present. This was back when I had my first car and I didn't have a button to lock the car so to lock it all you had to do was press down the lock and it locked all the doors and when you unlocked it, you used the key.

Well, I guess when I got out of my car I left the keys hanging out in the ignition and just pressed the lock down. I was so embarrassed but I always kept my house keys separate from my car keys so I called another friend to pick me up, take me back home, get the spare, and take me back to the parking lot.

Nope I still live at home with my parents.

I called my Mum first and I was like "OMFG HELP MI PLZ MUMMY" but she couldn't find the spare key so I had to call the AA. Typically, I found it within minutes of getting home.

Oh well.

[Master117chief]

Oh, that sucks.

[ryanson209]

I have not; however, I did leave the keys in the ignition one night.

[MrDeath04]

LoL it did happen to me once, at about midnight in the middle of nowhere... so i broke into my car and got the keys back (the window was a litttle bit open :D).

You had to call American Airlines?

[All-American-Badass]

it's happened to me twice
the first time was about 2 years ago in montana when i left the keys in there after i got to school in the morning
the second time i left them in there i was getting sometimes from the quick trip by my college a few weeks ago.

[ParadoxVenom]

I had this happen to me during a beach trip I took. I left my keys inside the car when I needed them the most since none of my parents knew I was out there and secondly I lost my glasses in the ocean so I was fucked over for driving. So I smashed my car door window and managed to drive back. I hate it when that shit happens.

[AntiHero1317]

i heard of a lady who locked herself in her car. According to her thats possible becayse her car battery died and non of the electronics worked so she wouldnt unlock the door and all the windows were up when she called the cops they told her to manually open the lock and she wasll like "ooooh ok im out now"

[JKMonkey]

nope, never happened to me, my fiancee keeps the car keys in her pocketbook so I don't lose them.
