Anonymous Lockout

Beat This:

The Legacy automatically locks it's doors after about 5 seconds when you start it with the key.

So I lean inside the car, start it with the key this morning, instead of using the remote, and went back inside. Shut the car door and got locked out. Keys in the locked car. Locked house. Standing there like an idiot.

Garage door opener in truck. Truck open. Hit button, garage door opens. Inside garage door to house open. Get in house. Lock garage door behind me. Inside house, spare keys, okay.

Hit button on other remote to unlock car. Walk out of house, shut door, for some reason without other remote. Car still locked, remote failed. Now, truck locked, inside garage door locked, car locked, house locked. Standing there like an idiot, again.

Not so okay.

Go around to rear garden gate. Locked. Big push lifts it off it's hinges and falls into a big puddle. Rear garage door open. Inside house door locked. (Secret confidential entry hint to Ike's house follows) Take pins out of inside garage door and lift out of frame, scraping knuckle bloody in process. Unlock lock, replace door. Get bandaid for finger.

Put spare keys in pocket this time. Leave house and drive to work.

Locked out of the house and car with the car running TWICE in 5 minutes.

Just like a freaking British comedy.

I have a sore knuckle to remind me of it all day.
