Another day, another frustrating situation. I swear, I just bought/got/acquired a new door mechanism last month and now I'm locked out my own house! I've tried every strategy I know. The spare set of keys is, of course, missing. I even looked around for a possible alternative access, but no luck. At this point, I'm just fuming/frustrated/aggravated. Maybe it's time to invest in a smart lock system...
Whoa! Keys Inside, Car Outside! ????
Okay, this just happened to me yesterday. I was walking back to my car after meeting a friend and noticed that I accidentally took my keys inside! My mouth dropped because, obviously, the windows were all sealed. It was a complete nightmare!
- I struggled to reach in the window, but it was impossible.
- Finally, I had to call a locksmith which was a pain.
So yeah,take it from me, always double-check your keys before you walk away!
Help! I Locked Myself Out! Oh no! I locked myself out!
It happened so fast. I was/I had been/I'd been out for a walk and just for a second/momentarily/in a flash, I left them inside . Now, here I am / I'm stuck / I'm trapped outside with absolutely nothing to help me. My phone is running low on battery, and I don't have a spare key/my spare key is somewhere safe at home/nobody else knows where it is. What am I going to do?!
- Can someone help me get in?
- This is the worst day ever.
Maybe I should just wait it out until someone comes home/my roommate gets back/I can call a friend. But what if that takes forever?
Car Key Dilemma
So, you've hit a snag with your car keys. Don't panic! This doesn't have to a total disaster. First things first, look through all the usual spots - your bag, on the kitchen counter, or maybe even in that pile you haven't touched in months. If they're nowhere to be found, it's time to figure things out.
- Call a locksmith. It might seem like the priciest solution, but sometimes it's the fastest way to get back on the road.
- Contact your car dealership. They may be able to provide you with a replacement key or at least point you in the proper place.
- Take a look at your insurance policy. You might be surprised to discover that your auto insurance covers key replacement.
My Keys Are in My Car, and I'm Stuck!
That is totally the worst feeling in the world! You're about to head somewhere, and you suddenly remember that your keys are in your car. You feel a rush of anxiety. What are you going to try next??
You could attempt to pick the lock, but those options aren't always reliable.
This is where it truly helps to be prepared. Maybe you could keep a spare set of keys somewhere safe.
Until then, take a deep breath locked my keys in the car near me and try to stay calm.
