Keys + Senior Moment = Very Bad Mood
Posted: Wednesday, 12 May 2004 |
So my Mum was getting to leave to head to her work on Monday morning. Away she went, got keys in ignition when she decided to wipe the condensation off the windows. Out the car, and working her way round the windows when she heard it.
That "thunk".
The car has this intelligence system built in where by if you shut the door and leave it for a while it automatically locks itself, so that no-one can drive it away!
Not too concerned, Mum went back to the house to get the spare when she realised the house keys were in her hand bag.
I got the shout and went and opened the back door with my key, and was told, "Just Go, I'll take Elvis" (Elvis is our [original] Mini Cooper) if I get stuck. So away I go.
Into the house Mum goes, to get the spare key for her car, to realise that she'd put the spare key in her handbag for some unknown reason.
So Mum heads to the key cabinet to get the keys to Elvis and realises that she'd had Elvis out for a run and the keys were in her handbag!
So a call to the garage results in being told that they can get a new key to her in "a couple of days".
The car hasn't moved since Monday... But on the plus side, Mum's a bit more cheerful about the incident........
