    LOL...I did it when I was 16. Worked a whole shift. Mom had to come and bring the extra key. Boy was she steamed!

    I'm a couple of years older than you and have recently had surgery...my endocrinologist has told me that my lapses of memory are normal and that I should just "give myself time" to get over it. It's scary though isn't it?
    Just relax ..... we all misplace things, etc. I think it is because most people today are so rushed and stressed. You're okay....if something is REALLY wrong others will let you know. Just continue to enjoy your coworkers and your job. Hugs......B

    I did that with one of our vehicles several years ago. I went out to start it up one morning and shut the door. It would have been okay, but I forgot to unlock the door. The door automatically locked upon starting the engine.

    I was in Virginia at my Mom's house and had to borrow her car, drive to Tennessee where hubby was working and get his keys. I then had to drive back and unlock my car and then drive back home to Tennessee. LOL!!

    Yep, been there, done that. Went to work on afternoon several years ago, locked keys in car with it running, did not know until I came out of work at 2:00 AM, and had to wake my DH up to come with extra set of keys, Oh yes, we were in the middle of a blizzard, no salt trucks out yet and he had to get on highway. Oh was I mad, he just laughed.....ha...ha....!!!!

    Yes, i have down that. We were going on vacation stop to pick up a few things. My young girls were with me and i notice the keys inside the car. A Police man stop and open up the car for us. Nothing like being on Main St. for the whole world to watch. Other times had window open a few inches and was able to get coat hanger and open up. Usually happens to me when i am very stressed and not paying attention.

    I was going to the used book store one morning. I had my daughter with me. She was 4 at the time. We got to the book store and I went to get my box of books out of the back seat. Laid my keys on the seat get pull out the box and shut the door with my hip. Yep, keys still sitting on the seat in my locked car. This was before cell phones of course. I didn't have a spare key with me, but did at home.... Or so I thought. Called my great grandmother and her friend came to get us. Got home and guess what... couldn't get in due to my keys being locked in the car. Then I remember that the neighbor had a spare to my house. Went over there. They were gone for the weekend. Now what I say to myself. Well, they happened to have a doggy door, which was blocked due to them being gone. But I'm desperate so I pop out the wood and tell my 4 yr old to climb through and unlock the door. She of course thinks I'm crazy but I finally get her in. We get the key, go back to our house, get the spare car key and are on our way back to the car. Of course, we have to take the spare back so the neighbor doesn't know we broke in and took it. That was 18 years ago. My daughter still tells that story. We have since moved and the neighbors are none the wiser. :)

    LOL My husband just did this. He went to the bank, got out of the car, left it running and and locked the door as he got out. Called me and asked if I was busy and could I bring the other keys.

    misery likes company - it is sort of reassuring in a sick way to read that I am not the only person who thinks she's lost her mind.......it is sooooooooo frustrating

    Twice in one week and managed to get the same policeman to do the unlocking. He could barely restrain himself from telling me what he thought of my grasp on reality. In retrospect, it should have made me stop and think about how I was managing or mis-managing my LIFE and to make some changes...
