Man, this is getting ridiculous! I/Me/This guy am so over this. It seems like every single day/all the time/a few times a week I'm stuck outside, scratching my head/shaking my fist/pulling at my hair. Did I/Someone really forget my keys/the combination/the darn thing again? Honestly This needs to stop!
- I definitely need a spare key!
- {Or maybe I just need to be more organized.|Maybe if I was more organized/responsible/careful, this wouldn't happen.End of list
Missing Car Keys Mayhem
My heart just about stopped when I realized that my car keys were missing. I feverishly searched the entire house, but they were nowhere to be found. I'm feeling stressed because now I have no way to make it to that awesome concert tonight.
I've already looked all the usual spots, like my pockets. Maybe they're buried somewhere? I even thought about the possibility that a mischievous gremlin might have snatched them.
This is the worst possible scenario. What am I going to say?
Stuck Outside
It's a real pain, standing here with your hands full of stuff and realizing you've got your transponder stuck in the vehicle. You scramble to look but they're nowhere to be found. Now what? Your mind races with thoughts of a tow truck Maybe there's a way to unlock the door... but before you get too desperate, take a deep breath. There are some things you should consider first.
Locked Out : A Tale of Two Vehicles
It was/were a scorching summer day and my trusty truck/SUV/car decided to choose/pick/select this moment to fail/quit/break down. I was totally/completely/utterly stranded/stuck/locked out, sweating profusely in the blazing heat. Just as I was about to freak out/panic/lose it, I saw a glimmer of hope: my neighbor's shiny new sports car/convertible/luxury sedan parked across the street. Thinking/Assuming/Hopiing that they might have a spare key/tool/set, I raced over and knocked/rapped/pounded on their door. To my surprise/disappointment/shock, no one answered.
My luck seemed to be as bad/terrible/awful as the heat. Back at my own vehicle/ride/carnage, I tried everything/any trick in the book/all the obvious things to get in, but nothing worked.
Oh No! Vehicle Impassable!
I am so panicked right now. My car door is stuck and I can't get in! I've tried every trick in the book, but nothing helps. I'm utterly desperate. I have a meeting to get to and I don't know what to do! Is there anyone who can come to my rescue?
- What should I do?
- Is there a solution?
- Do you know any car mechanics in the area?
I'm feeling hopeless. Please, any help would be extremely helpful!
