don't you hate losing a key?

just airing my frustrations, I CAN'T FIND MY MAIL BOX KEY!!!!! its been 5 days, looked in the truck and all around the flat, its no where!

so i guess i will have to pay to get it changed out since it was the only one, and of course as soon as they replace it, i will find the key.

I know the feeling .....only I usually lose a "set of keys" at a time ..not just one.

I'm down to my last set of duplicates.

the only time I lose a key is when I only have one.

Tip of the day:

Make a copy of your truck keys and house keys and wire them to the frame of your truck. I guess you can leave the house keys somewhere outside your home so someone can't steal your wheels AND drive to your house and clean it out.

That's not going to help find your mailbox key now though.

When I lose something, I take a timeout and relax and think about the last time I had/used the item and usually remember where it was.

There's been a few times when I left my key in the ignition, with me outside looking in, door locked of course.

One time I was in my truck listening to a song, waiting for it to end, when I got out and closed the door.
Key in the ignition, engine running.
No spare key.

So I had to get a clothes hanger and unlocked the wing window.

Now I carry a spare door key in my wallet.
