Thank God for guys and pieces of wire!

Becuase on Tuesday when I went to get petrol I locked my bloody keys in the car. Cheeses Crust I was so pissed off, standing there swearing my head off at no one but myself and everyone around me giving me weird looks. Oh Christ I tell you I was so mortified! I went inside to ask if anyone could help me and one of the guys came out and had a go at it with a piece of metal to wedge the door open a little and a piece of long wire to stick inside to try and lift the lock. He worked at it for quite a while, at least fifteen minutes, telling me it was no problem and that it happens all the time and all. Didn't help though, I was still unbelievably embarrassed, especially everytime someone drove up behind me, sat there for five minutes and then realised that I sure wasn't moving because my keys were locked inside. Cue even more embarrassment! Anyways, this dude wasn't having much luck - I thought it was a long shot anyways, and was trying to think of who I could call (from a pay phone mind you, since my bag with my phone in it was also locked inside) to come and rescue me. I didn't want to have to ring anyone because that would be the ultimate embarrassment and I would never live it down, especially with kyle, and especially since we were talking about it just the other week and he joked that 'It'll cost you every time I have to come and rescue you'.

Anyways, soon this guy with 'Auto Electrics' written on the side of his van pulls up in the bowzer next to mine and he gets out of his van and gives this huge sigh and I thought he was just being all 'Omg what a typical female driver, locking her keys in the car blah blah blah' but two seconds late he comes over to us with this huge long length of steel with a hook on the end (kind of like the one you prop your bonnet up with when you open it up) and he was all 'Hey let me at it' and I was more than happy for him to have a go, cos all I wanted was my door open! Thank goodness he managed to get it open after a few minutes of trying and I was falling over myself with thanks, I was just so grateful. Then I filled up Brindy's tank, paid and choofed off outta there as fast as possible. I drove all the way to uni and couldn't stop thinking about it the whole way - I was just so embarrassed! And I haven't told a soul about it except to the girls at dancing - they understand.

And so is my first car story. And I've had it less than a month! How embarrassing. Oh well, now I've done it I've got it over with. Now, never again!
