Today I did something incredibly dumb. Not costly dumb, not anything with serious
consequences, just something really dumb.
I had to drop our car off at the mechanic's at their
overnight drop-off place, where you leave the keys after hours so in the morning they can
get to work on it right away. So I
drive up to the garage and they have a key drop-off slot. I get out of the car and lock the door.
But as soon as I go to drop they keys off, I find they have
these envelopes where you have to fill out a form and it says, "You must
sign here."
Well, I had nothing to write with; the pens were in the car,
and the car was locked, so I walked to the grocery store (nearby, just a couple
of blocks away) and I get a pen from a cashier, fill out the form and walk
back.
I put the keys in the envelope and put the envelope in the
slot, and walk home.
Now I know you see what I missed. I had the keys the whole time!
Something about the pending putting-the-keys-in-the-slot made me think I
couldn't get back into the car. I had
the keys in my pocket the entire time.
I didn't realize my mistake, even after returning to the
mechanic's place, putting the keys in the envelope/form and putting the keys in
the slot.
I didn't realize my mistake during the walk home.

Ahha! Very good. I did think 'why didn't he unlock the car' but its like the 'I can't find my glasses (but they're on my head) thing!
