Showing Original Post only (View all)So I did a dumb thing today. [View all]
Made my bi-monthly trip to walmart for some groceries, but mainly to recharge my bird-food supply. It's about 24 degrees here in Maine and I left my parka and gloves in the car. Shop and return. Open the drivers door with key, put keys on dash and, instead of hitting the door open switch for my doors, I hit door closed.....and shut the drivers side door.
In that moment, I thought, I am screwn. Phone was left back home, 20 miles away. Now what?
So, this guy comes walking past me and sees I am royally pissed. "Hey, bud, what's up?" Explained my stupidity and he pulls out his phone and calls a local towing/vehicle assistance person to come to my assistance. Had to wait 15 minutes in the freezing cold, but this lady shows up with a door opening tool. She unlocked it. In that moment, I wanted to hug her....but I happily paid her service fee via a debit.
Could have been worse......
Tech note: Dodge Dakota, 2005. Real key, real problems when you leave real key in the truck and lock the door.
