My locks have been acting funny and I need to have it looked at. So I usually always have my keys on me. But I set them down in the van when I was loading and shut the door (forgetting my keys were back there)................and all the doors were locked. :devil:

So I called AAA. I swear this must have been the woman's first day on the job. It took her 10 minutes to get all the important info........like what color was my car........was it a dark blue, or a lighter blue.......or maybe gray.....? Then she'd never heard of Menards before, so I had to explain to her what kind of a store it was. I said "How soon can someone be here?" and she said slowly........"Well, let's just finish getting all the necessary information and then we'll see." ACCHHH! It almost started to seem like she was pulling a joke on me. Finally she said okay.
Then 5 minutes later the people coming to unlock the car called and said "we'll be there in 45 minutes". I was right in the middle of a town with companies who work for AAA, so I wasn't sure why it was going to take so long.

Instead of being all flustered, I decided to sit on a bench in the shade and just enjoy myself (and hope the $30 of flowers I just bought didn't die in the back of the van, since its in the 80's and sunny.)
I started trying to guess which cars/trucks coming towards me were with the AAA. Some of the trucks were falling apart, some people had limping people get out. Then I saw the UPS truck and thought maybe he was doing double duty........which made it all start to be sort of comical. :laff:

Anyhow........the guy showed up and opened the car and I was happy again. :cool: And my flowers survived.

I'd better figure out why my car seems to be the decider of when the doors get locked and not me. :~) ]]> Transportation CathyA http://www.simplelivingforum.net/showthread.php?8202-My-car-locked-me-out!
