Stranded Once More : This Time It's My Car
Well, dangit, it happened again. I'm completely locked out of my car. You'd think after the last few times this has occurred, I'd remember to keep a spare key somewhere safe. But no, here I am, left in the lurch once more. I swear, sometimes I feel like I'm living in a sitcom. This time it's not my house or my office, it's my trusty old car.
At least the weather is bearable today, so I'm not freezing my butt off while I wait for help to arrive.
I've already tried all my usual tricks, but nothing is working. Maybe it's time to reach out to AAA.
This is turning into a real pain.
