The airport people didn't have a metal hanger so I could break into my car. In desperation I went back to the car & asked the guy behind me what to do. He said he had a device for breaking in cars, but it wasn't with him at the moment. No problem at the car, because I'd left the passenger side unlocked.

Why? The phone was ringing. Well you never know it might be a toyboy! :roll: It was a gentleman and he asked if he could speak to JOE. Quick as lightening I said “No, I am sorry, you cannot speak to Joe!” “Why?” asked the caller. “Because he is in the wardrobe!” I said and hung up quickly. Come on, when you live alone you need some fun! I'M HOME ALONE,.....I must try that on those pesky sales people who try to say my rather complicated surname or say "could I speak with Mr or Mrs...." there has been a Mr or a Mrs with my particular name.

I once locked my car keys in the boot of my car - not an unusual mistake to make except that my car was on double yellow lines outside a conference center in Derry (about 70 miles from home) and my hazard lights were on. We'd just finished loading the car full of computers after a training course and I threw my coat in on top and slammed the door. After a few minutes a couple of friendly policemen pulled up to see what was happening, I explained and asked if they could help. One of them put his hand on his pistol and said "Sure I could shoot the windscreen in if you like ... but maybe you'd be better calling the AA" Great post!

She came back from the line to find me happily wandering in the house, with no abilty or interest in opening the back door. Took her an hour to get someone to help her get in (thank god for single glazing eh) By which time I'd emptied a few presses and turned their contents on the floor :) I was a bit sick from eating flour, custard powder, jelly and icing sugar! Happy Days! My Mum once locked herself out of the house when I was a toddler, although I think I probably shut the door behind her.

Sometimes we're a bit lax about security in the sticks but with crime increasing, I must be more careful. Yep, I've done that too - locked the door with the keys inside - luckily a window was open!

I think we have all done it. I remember using a very long cane through my letter box to hook the keys off a chest of drawers where they lived in a little wooden tub. Needless to say i never kept the keys in that position again! I’m sorry I laughed all the way through that one. I think we have all done it.
