Narzain will most likely not be happy with me for sharing this, as he was most embarrassed that this happened. In time he will find the humor. For me, I already laughing, mostly at the end of this tale.
So yesterday, I go to the library like normal,and leave at my usual early time so that I can get home to eat breakfast so I can go swimming. Cool. I get home to find a message on the machine and I am thinking hang up, or robo-call scam. Nope. It's Narzain. Frantic phone call,disjointed,freaking out.
He had locked his keys in the car. This included his work keys.
So, after finding him at work,I tell him to relax, I'll go get the extra key (door only) and bring it to him. Now, I am debating with myself as to whether or not I go swimming. "Captain America: Winter Soldier" is filming here at the moment, so parts of Downtown are closed and part of a highway are closed for filming,so I decide that getting my fat rear to the Clinic and back is more important.
To Narzain's apartment to get the key, stop and get gas,then on my way. At least all of this is ON the way to downtown. I get there no problem,find a space and head in. Now, you may not know, but I have mild rosacea caused by one of my meds., so I flush red easily. 4 people asked me if I was alright before I even go to the lobby! Nice to know that a hospital pays attention!
I find Narzain, give him his key,he gets permission to go to the employee garage to get his keys, and then walks me out. I give him a ride to the lot where he will catch a shuttle back. Fine. Kisses good byes, I'm on my way. I get on the highway,on a SHORT approach, which is get on and get over RIGHT NOW! or you WILL be getting off at the next off ramp which is RIGHT HERE! I get over, no problem.
I'm cruising along, and HEY! there goes my turn! I am now going South,when I should be going West. A few choice words later, I am wondering if my family will be happy to see me, as I am now heading toward my dad's family. Now, I do know where I am, and I know I can get back home, I'm just more out of my way than I would like.
I am now going South, and hey, there's the exit for the zoo! I'll go to the zoo! I know how to get home from there! Sure I do. I made a right instead of a left. More choice words. Intersection. I know this! My friend used to live over here! Only I'm in the wrong lane. Cut down a side street and voila! I end up where I wanted to go! Go down another main road and pick up another to get back over to where I would have been if I had gone swimming in the first place.
I decide to run the errands that I was going to run after swimming (the open swim is now over by this point), so I wend my way to the post office. After paying for my stamps, I can't find my keys.
I locked them in my car, dangling from the ignition.
*sigh*
Thankfully, I keep an extra key in my purse and could get back in.
Moral: Always keep a key handy.
Still not as bad as me losing his keys 2 years ago. THAT was bad, and expensive.
