OMG! Ha, I once:   Lost my keys and it was time to go to work. Tore my apartment upside down looking for them. Finally thought, "Okay, I'm going to have to call out from work tonight or ask if someone can come get me," and went to put my drink back in the fridge...and there were my keys, on the shelf. I must have set them down when I got my drink out!   Went to run into the K-Mart right by my old apartment (different apt.) on my way home from work. Was getting out of the car and accidentally dropped my keys on my seat. When I turned to get them and my purse, my car door fell shut...just enough to lock. So my keys and purse were in the car and I was locked out.    Not only did I have to beg to use K-Mart's phone to call a locksmith (couldn't just walk the block and a half home, because my keys were in the car) but I then had to beg the locksmith to open my car because since my purse was inside it, I couldn't pay him in advance. He genuinely did not want to open my car for me since I couldn't pay him--only repeatedly pointing out that my purse was right there on the seat where he could see it, and that I genuinely could not pay him without it since all my payment methods were inside it, finally convinced him. (I of course paid him immediately.) My car key once actually broke off in my ignition, too. When my roommate drove me to work, the first thing I did was show the key stub to my supervisor, to prove I wasn't lying when I called to say why I'd be late. (That supervisor is now my husband, hee.)
