Well, I stay many nights alone as my hubby works out of town during the week; Not really afraid but just a little more aware of noises and things out of the ordinary, I make sure all windows and doors are locked, burn outside lights all night, and always look out to see what my dog barks at. I'm surrounded by woods on three sides and neighbors in front are gone this week. The other works nights. Needless to say am a very light sleeper.
So I go outside to the carport to feed my dog this morning and guess what I found in my doorknob, MY KEYS !! Talk about an invitation!!! My car key, hubby's Jeep key, son's truck key, and of course house keys are all on there. So glad there weren't any homicidal maniacs raoming my neighborhood last night!!! DUMB DUMB DUMB
Ummm... yeah that is why I do not have keys and never leave the house... nah just playing!
Do not feel bad... my hubby blamed our 2 year old son for loosing his keys one day, and then I went to open on of the doors the next day and there his keys were sitting the deadbolt.
Everybody has done that once or twice, I think. I would be more worried about how you're living your life in constance fear. That's gotta suck. Don't feel too bad, my boss left the office keys in the office door!!! I came to work yesterday and there were two people in my office!!! He doesn't even have an illness!Oh how scary. We are constantly at risk of forgetting everyday things we do.....I've lost my wedding ring, then refound it on the bathroom floor, ran through a stopsign, (a friend ran the same one and said, "that stop signs in a dumb place' yea!), fallen out of a golf cart, left my wallet at Albertsons and misplaced about everything I own once or twice.
you aren't alone in this leaving the keys in the front door, I've done that (and once I left my post box key in the lock outside of our condo complex it has the house key and the number , of course is on our box) a neighbor brought it to me!! My neighbor has an automatic door opener for his garage and he's left it open several times and drive away.....we all do these things, I guess.
Not to scare anyone, but this is serious. Please be careful about leaving your keys in the doorknob. My MIL did that and a man came in and raped her.I had a friend whose keys disappeared off their table in their entryway and finally found them in the bottom of the humidifier where their toddler had grabbed them and dropped them in ...OMG i did that about 3 weeks ago but to my car. We drove to church and i left my keys in the car w/ it running for a good 3 hrs. Now the town that the church is in isnt a horrible neighborhood but its not the best...By the grace of God it was there when we were doneWell it sure is good to know I'm in "good company" bout forgetting things...I think
So scary Kweeb and I'm so sorry for your MIL,I'm usually more careful than this, especially when alone. Gimpy-I don't live my life in fear, like Lynn said just cautious, big difference. I have any number of places to sleep at night with family but I choose to stay home and it don't suck at all, I rather enjoy the peace and quiet. Kelsay'smom is who I feel sorry for...all that wasted "liquid gold"
Kelsay'smom....WHAT? NO WAY DID YOUR DH BELIEVE THAT!!!! Tell him that when you really want to piss him off it ain't gonna cost YOU money !!!
I lost my keys when my kids were little; running around trying to get ready for work, taking them to the sitter, getting all my reports in order, it was hectic each morning.
This day I had to take public transportation as I couldn't find the keys and was going to be late. Couldn't lock the door, couldn't get the mail. Searched everywhere but had to have new keys made so I could drive, lock up etc.
Three months passes and I am gathering toys donate to Goodwill. I pick up my son's truck and there are the keys, right inside the trap door of the truck.
Next time it happened, after I had keys made once again, I was cooking dinner about two weeks after the incident and took down the box of rice. Pouring it out into the measuring cup and out fall my keys....after that I made extra keys to give to neighbors in the event that my kids tried that trick to torture me again. LOL
