Coffee, interrupted

Yesterday morning...

"Grande soy latte, please."

(Whistle, whistle, small talk, small talk.)

"Thanks! See you tomorrow!"

(Preparing to unlock car door with remote: Press. Press. Press press press.)

"Crap!"

(back inside Starbucks...)

"I can't get my car door open, and I'm parked in a non-space. I'm going to have to leave it here until I can get the door open again! I just wanted to let you guys know that it's my car right in front."

"What's the matter?"

"I don't know! The stupid remote button isn't unlocking the door! The lock button and trunk button work, but the unlock button isn't working!"

"Can't you open it MANUALLY?"

"No! Um. Um. I don't think I can..."

(Back outside at car...)

"Oh my god. Could I be STUPIDER?"

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand...SCENE.

Mockery may commence.

It was early. You were still sleepy. Or maybe you were channeling Emmett for a brief moment.

Maybe next time you should drink the latte first ... a'fore tryin' ta think about complex issues such as this.

It's okay, you only used 5 of our ten points. Here's your sign. Tee Hee.

That was a total me moment. I'm not sure why natural selection hasn't killed me off yet.

I'm not laughing at you. I'm laughing near you.

LMAO!

To be honest, the thought of you simply unlocking the door with your key never occurred to me either!

He he he...
I may have done that once... maybe.

Don't look now but your socks are untied.

Reminds me of a story that will make you feel like Einstein. A year ago, my wife's car door on the driver's side would not open from the inside. So whoever drove it had to exit by sliding across and getting out on the passenger side. We put off getting the problem fixed, so we did this drill for WEEKS.

One day my brother comes up to visit. We all go somewhere in the car. When we reach our destination, we explain how the driver has to get out on the passenger's side. My brother says, "Why don't you just roll the window down, reach out and open the door, and roll the window back up (which you can do as long as you haven't removed the key from the ignition)?" We were stunned.

For weeks afterward my wife and I would amaze ourselves by bringing up our joint stupidity.

I will walk up to a tv with a remote in frustration. You aren't alone.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with "blonde moments"... :)
