Life In A Parking Lot

Tuesday, one of the men in my church called up and asked if I wanted to do lunch.  He had heard about the accident on Monday and thought I might like to get out of bed and the house.  It was good of him and we got to telling the "dumbest" stories.

I opened with the blonde lady one day in the Sears parking lot whom was bent over and had her mouth on the keyhole of the door.  So, I had to ask ...  She told me she had locked her keys in the car and had seen a video on Youtube of another blonde blowing in the keyhole and unlocking it.  Oh dear Lord, it was all I could do to keep a straight face!  So, she bends over and continues blowing into the keyhole.  I walked around the car and opened the passenger door, which was unlocked, and pulled her keys out.  I walked back around the car, pushed the unlock button on the remote and dropped the keys in her purse.  She was delighted she had done it right and embarrassed that the keys were in her purse the whole time!

He countered with how he saw some guys working on a door trying to open it without result.  He tried the hatchback and it opened.  He crawled through the car, pulled the keys, got back out and handed them to the owner.  The guys were still busy working on the door.  Utter clueless...

So I told how Dutchman and I had left a store one time to find a young woman sobbing and crying beside her van.  Dutchman wanted to help her but I tend to avoid crying women if at all possible!  I just have nothing in me to respond with.  But, Dutchman asked her what was wrong.  Yeah, she was locked out of her van and running late.  It seems she did have the keys and handed them to Dutchman, whom then told her the batteries were dead but in an emergency like this the ignition key can be used in the door lock.  She was abundantly grateful and gave him a twenty.  I was by his car banging my head on the roof gently and screaming .....

Yeah, life in a parking lot can be fun ...
