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 Perhaps I really forget my keys/the combination/the darn thing again? Honestly This needs to stop!
- It's time to invest in a spare key.

Car Keys Gone AWOL!
My heart just about stopped when I figured out that my car keys were missing. I frantically searched everywhere, but they were nowhere to be seen. I'm feeling beyond exasperated because now I have no way to attend my appointment.
I've already scrutinized all the usual spots, like my purse. Maybe they're hidden somewhere? I even imagined the possibility that a mischievous creature might have snatched them.
This is a disaster. What am I going to do?
Trapped by my Car
It's a real pain, standing here with your arms loaded down and realizing you've got your car key fob stuck in the vehicle. You rummage through your belongings but they're gone missing. Now what? Your mind races with thoughts of a tow truck Maybe there's a way to unlock the door... but before accidentally locked my keys in my car you resort to drastic measures, take a deep breath. There are some things you can try 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.
Goodness Gracious! I'm Locked Out!
I am so upset right now. My car window is jammed and I can't get in! I've tried all the usual things, but nothing is successful. I'm really at my wit's end. I have a meeting to get to and I don't know what to do! Is there anyone who can give me advice?
- What should I do?
- Is there a way around this?
- Do you know any car mechanics in the area?
I'm feeling completely defeated. Please, any help would be appreciated!
