Stupid Mistakes and Close Friends

I definitely had a lesson learned experience yesterday. Don't lock your keys in your car! Yes, everyone has done it at one point or another, but I guess I always thought, 'Oh, that will never happen to me.'

And if I really think about it, I'm surprised it's taken me this long. I can be pretty forgetful or A.D.D. Well, I was going to meet a good friend for dinner to catch up. We met at Barnes&Noble, walked around for about 1/2 an hour and then we decided to see a movie. Little did we know that plan went out the window a while ago.

I was so upset, we got security, I called so many people to try and get help. I called AAA from my grandmothers account and they wouldn't help me because I'm not her child or spouse. LAME! Unfortunately, I then had to resort to calling 911. This is how that conversation went...

"911 Emergency how can I help you?"
"Well, this isn't a major emergency but I've locked my keys in my car, can you send someone to come help us?"
"Do you have a pet or children in the car?"
"No."
"Then we can't help you. Call a locksmith."

Can you believe that?! The POLICE wouldn't even come help me! We pay they're dang salary! I was so upset. So after what was probably another hour, I finally called the locksmith. I about had a heart attack with his fee of 95 BUCKS!! I wanted to cry, because I do not have that kind of extra money. BUT, after waiting for him for an hour, letting him do his thing, we finally got in the car and got to go have dinner. The night definitely got better, Thank God!

A lesson learned though, lock my car with the keys from now on so I know where they are. All and all it was an interesting afternoon. :)
