Spare key holders are fairly popular things. If you're anything like me, they can be
life savers. Or not. I lock myself out of my house or out of my car all the time. Almost on a daily basis.
Spare key holders are supposed to hold a
spare set of
keys for you. Many people might use their
door mat to
hide their
spare keys. Others might
buy a
fake stone, or a
fake lawn
frog or something they found while
reading a
Skymall catalog in an
airplane that was made to hold a
spare set of
keys. The
airplane isn't made to hold
keys, the
frog you bought while you were
on the airplane is. Personally, I wouldn't pay 30
bucks for a frog that you can twist the head off of, but it seems many people do.
The other
day I
bought a spare key holder for my
car. It's a
little black box with some
magnets on it so you can stick it under your
car and
hide keys under there. Now, if your town has a lot of people who like to crawl under
cars all the time and look around, these
little black boxes with
magnets on them might not be such a
good idea. Its
supposed to be very useful for guys like me who like to be
idiots and
lock themselves out of their
cars all the time. I figured it would be worth my $2.
It was in the
summer, and I had been driving around a lot. I went to the
mall, came back to my
car, and
realized I didn't have my
keys on me. I look through the
window, and I can see the
keys sitting right in the ignition. I never even took them out! Anyway, "No
problem!" I figure. "I have a spare set!" So I reach under my car, and grab the
little black box, and try to open it. The only
problem was, the
plastic on the
black box top and the
box melted together. Except I didn't realize this for about 15 minutes. After much
cursing and
swearing, I threw the
damned
box at a wall. It proceded to shatter in many pieces, but at least I got my
keys out.
