How do you deal with Lost Keys?

[yuiyoshida]

I found them AFTER I got home and had the neighbor unlock the front door. Yes, they were stuck in an odd place. DAMN FAERIES!!!

1. Other: I don't have a car and I don't lock up the house when I'm gone.

[yuiyoshida]

2. I guess that solves that problem!

good for you!

[Kaleva]

4. I'm poor and have little worth stealing!

[Duer 157099]

3. Other: find them

there is no other option for me.

[yuiyoshida]

5. If you have an important appointment to make...

would you cancel it to find them? I had to leave for a Doctors appointment, I had no choice but to come back later and find them. I was lucky to had someone unlock the door for me.

[Duer 157099]

6. Hah

If I had an important appointment to make, I would have to miss it anyway if I lost my keys!

[Scuba]

7. A place for everything, everything in its place.

[yuiyoshida]

8. come on!!

The damn Key faeries stole my keys and were giggling about it when I got home! I always hang my keys on a wrack. Today they were gone!!...

[noamnety]

9. I hate looking for keys.

Whenever I misplace mine, I just buy a new house.

[yuiyoshida]

28. I will have to try that..

some day.

[bluesbassman]

10. I usually try singing hymns to them, but that never works.

I end up just letting them find their own way.

[yuiyoshida]

11. screaming for them to show up doesn't work

It doesn't work on my cat, why would it work on my keys?

[Incitatus]

12. Take my spare set from the safe.

Get new copies made, and hope the old ones show up.

[yuiyoshida]

13. Oh! bravo ...

On payday I am buying a safe!... no, I mean a spare set of keys!

[CTyankee]

56. Keep another house key buried in the garden under a rock.

That way, you'll have a key to make another one, which you can bury.

[MicaelS]

14. Don't keep us in suspense..

Where were the keys?

[yuiyoshida]

15. They fell into a drawer...

WAIT...no... they WERE PUSHED.... damn Key Faeries!!

[MicaelS]

16. I bet it was the drawer with your undies, wasn't it?

[yuiyoshida]

17. Where do you think KEY FAERIES SLEEP?

:s

[Kaleva]

18. I had lost my glasses one fine morning. After much searching, I found them on my face.

[yuiyoshida]

19. I wish it had been that easy...

I even checked the outside door to see if they were left there.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

20. Buy ounces instead.

That way you'll lose less.

[yuiyoshida]

23. DOES soup Nazi impression.....

NO BUDS FOR YOU!!!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

21. Blame the cats. Sometimes this is actually justified -

not that they could actually drive my car - but sometimes they swat the keys under a radiator or something.

[yuiyoshida]

25. DAYAM!!!

[Locut0s]

22. My keys never leave my pocket...

I use them to unlock a door then they go STRAIGHT back in my pocket. When I hang up my jeans at night I keep the keys still always in my pocket. I make sure they never leave my hands or pockets, I never put them down on anything. Because of this I tend not to have this problem much.

[yuiyoshida]

24. PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSttt.....

(teehee!) CHECK your back pocket!!!!


Is this them?

[fizzgig]

26. look in my hand

That's where they are half the time.

[yuiyoshida]

27. see #25

Points...

[intaglio]

29. As an atheist I sensibly pray to the household deities

the Lares et Penates; the Lares being the small household gods or house elves and the Penates the ancestral guardians present in valued heirlooms.

[yuiyoshida]

33. Ya know, In Shinto we have many of those

I mean come on, who believes in Faeries, right? (Shoo! get away... leave my keys alone!)

[B Calm]

30. Oh, I thought this was about the Florida keys. . .

[yuiyoshida]

34. Someone said those were lost a long long long

time ago.

[Angleae]

31. Use the google

[yuiyoshida]

36. Heh!

[Yavin4]

32. Are your keys really "lost"?

Or are you?

[yuiyoshida]

35. hey, hey lets be nice here...

[panader0]

37. I live in the boonies

I leave my truck keys in the ignition and don't lock my doors.

[yuiyoshida]

38. I have heard this about Canada

Do they have boonies there? I know they loonies...

[panader0]

40. Southern Arizona, but we have a lot of loonies around here too.

[Kingofalldems]

39. Pray for intercession of St. Anthony.

[yuiyoshida]

44. Does he listen to Buddhists?

Does he listen to FEMALE Buddhists?

[Kingofalldems]

48. Sure. He's the patron saint of lost items.

[yuiyoshida]

52. I wonder how one applies for such a job....

Can you imagine if you got fired?


"Okay sir, you are applying for unemployement insurance, what was your last job?"

"Um, I helped people find lost things.."

"Oh, you were a police dectective.."

"no..um...I was a patron saint..."

"Oh! NFL football player, sorry you got fired..what position did you play?"

"no, no...I really was a Saint... I helped people find things.."

"Hmmm, not sure the Vatican will give you unemployment benefits.. what did you bring down in taxes last year?"

"There were no taxes...I did this for free.."

"Oh, well, sorry... You can't get unemployment if you worked for free... Found lost things? Maybe you can find a Republican backer and run for office? "

"never mind.. sorry to bother you."

"Hope you find a new job, HAHAHAHAHA!"

[Xyzse]

41. It's always in one of my pants or coats.

So, I don't usually lose them.

[yuiyoshida]

45. see #24

[Xyzse]

47. Hehehe, never in the back pocket either.

Having things in the back pocket is uncomfortable.

I never understood how my uncle and actually, a lot of the older generation males related to me would place their wallets in their back pocket.

It is easier to pick that pocket.
It is uncomfortable when sitting down.

Never figured it out.

[yuiyoshida]

50. Thats what Front Pockets are for....

Imagine someone reaching around you to get your wallet by your front pocket? HELLO....I think you would know!

[Tom Ripley]

42. Ask my wife where she last had them.

[winter is coming]

43. Post in ATA. n/t

[yuiyoshida]

46. What is ATA?

Don't tell me my post is lost!

[winter is coming]

49. Ask the Administrators.

I saw a post somewhere on DU a while back, linking to a old post from years ago where someone asked Skinner if he knew where their keys were. It made me LOL.

[yuiyoshida]

51. OOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo no!

I am a bit bold... BUT not that bold. I don't put my hand in the cage and try and pet the tiger!!

[geardaddy]

53. Not very well

I scream and freak out.

[yuiyoshida]

54. AWWW....gives you a kitty to pet...

oh look!!


Your keys!

[geardaddy]

55. Yea!

Looks like our old cat. Loved her.
