On Saturday, Stacy went out with some girlfriends for dinner and a movie. That meant I was home alone. Whoo! Party time. With a night of freedom ahead of me, I decided to do what any bachelor would do...I went to Meijer to print some photos. I loaded a bunch of photos on a flash drive and went on my way. Some of the photos I loaded were photos from the Museum of Sex (MoSex, cute huh?). This was a bad idea because when the photo kiosk accesses the flash drive it shows all the photos on the drive. So, I went back home and removed the MoSex photos and then headed back to Meijer. I loaded my pictures and placed my order.
Before I went to Meijer, I did more stereotypical bachelor stuff and went to Sally's Beauty Supply. Please don't hate on my exciting life. I decided to get some dinner from Panera and then headed back to Meijer. An important part of this story is that it rained all day Saturday. I went into Meijer picked up my photos, smiled at all the Meijer greeters whom I normally smiled at and left Meijer. I got to my car, reached into my pocket, and you guessed it, no keys. I went to my car and looked into my car (a Chevrolet Prizm) and on the passenger seat were my keys. (This is how I arrived at the name of this post.)
I called Stacy and she was not answering because she was with her friends in a crowded restaurant. I called Ann Arbor Police and they said that no longer open cars but they could call me a tow truck. I decided I could call my own tow truck, so I did. They said it would take 30 minutes to get to Meijer. I said okay and waited, patiently I might add, in the consumer wonderland that is Meijer. Well, they were late and then Stacy called. I explained the situation and she said she would come and pick me up since they were not going to the movies. I called the tow truck company and they were more than happy to cancel my tow truck request. They were a bit too eager if you ask me.
Anyway, instead of hanging up pictures in my study and eating dinner I waited in Meijer. Funny things, I bought reading material while at Meijer. Unfortunately, I bought the reading material during my first trip so my reading material along with my dinner and my keys, were...(wait for it) in my car.

Sad! Too bad I wasn't still in Ann Arbor - I'm pretty good at breaking into cars....I mean......'opening' cars. At least you didn't have to pay for the tow truck.
If only you had been watching documentaries you could avoided the whole thing. But the lure of Sally's Beauty Supply cannot be denied...
