Embarrassment 101
Argh. I went downtown to finally pick out new eyeglasses - I had frames in mind already. I was going to spring for glasses with sunglass clip-ons, but they no longer carry that frame, so I had to go with second runner up.
Then I stopped at BB&B and picked up some fall-scented candles...and a keychain shaped like a pig. It's a flashlight! It's snout lights up when you press a button, and it oinks! I couldn't resist. I told the cashier I'd just put it in my pocket instead of shoving it in the ginormous bag she put the candles in. She asked why I didn't just put it on my keychain.
And that's when I realized I left the apartment without any keys.
Tenants are often embarrassed about locking themselves out of their apartments. Not to lessen their anguish, but it is at least twice as embarrassing to do that when you're one of the managers.
I got home and to the front door just as a visitor was calling up to their host, who, instead of just buzzing her in said he'd be down. So I waited instead of calling my boss to beg him to let me in. And waited. And waited. The dude took forever, and so I had to have awkward conversation with the woman for about ten minutes. Meanwhile, my bladder was killing me. Yadda, yadda. So, I got in at long last and dashed for my super secret hiding place where I keep my spare key (hey, this isn't the first time I've been locked out).
And that's when my hottie neighbor and his hottie brother totally caught me getting my spare key out. And teased me mercilessly.
The end.

That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

Even more if said damsel is embarrassed but solving her own problem.
You might bless this key one day;-P

Now I just need to find a new place to hide it.

That's the one thing I love about doors that have to be locked manually, you always need to have your keys. But when you rely on someone else, that's when dangerous things can happen.

Of course, I had a particularly dingy day yesterday - I left the office with the keys dangling in the lock as I raced to go do something else. Er, yeah. Whoops.

Did they not have the ones with clip-ons? I got glasses with clip-ons last year--the magnetic ones, and I love them, but...they're all scratched up. My glasses are, too!
I was not at all careful with my former pair of glasses--and they were just normal glasses with no scratch resistance or any type of special anything with them, and they never got a scratch at all.
These glasses? I got the special expensive coating that makes them dust resistant and scratch resistant and non-glare and so on, and they got a bit scratched by the time I'd had them a month, and now they've got several gouges and scratches. The weird thing? One scratch is from when I dropped the glasses--but just once! Otherwise, I'm always wearing the glasses! I take them off to take a shower and to go to bed. I can't figure out how they keep getting scratched. I'm so careful with them always, because they were *so* expensive.
Anyway, I'm pissed that I paid so much for the glasses and all the special stuff and the lenses are extra soft or something.

*g* I can imagine. I carry a complete set of extra keys in my pocketbook because I locked myself out of my car and/or my house several times 20+ years ago. I was determined it would never happen again. *g*

Still, I like the ones I picked out and can't wait to get them. I love wearing my contacts, because I actually do like my eyes, but I'm always bloodshot and they look terrible anyway. I figured I'll probably start wearing the glasses more if I like the frames more.

That's why I stashed a spare. The only problem? I only have one key to access the building, and I didn't have that either. Hence the awkward lingering outside the building. Heh. I'm still embarrassed about it, but it's not nearly as bad as leaving the keys in the lock all night (or leaving the office keys in the office lock). Oy vey.
