Back in my "greener years", I often locked my keys up in my car. I'd then have to ask around for a coathanger, so I could make a little hook in one end and thread it beside the window and pull up the door lock button (you can tell this is an old story). Then, I decided I needed to plan ahead since I locked my keys in my car fairly often. Normal Logic: Tape a spare key to something under the hood. Hippy Logic: Tape a coathanger to something under the hood, then go through that same aggravating routine to get the door open each time. I don't have to tell you which I did. What's your "Hippy Logic" story?
^^word. my sweetie called me at work one day, having locked himself out of the house. I work nearby and can slip out for a moment, so that was no worry. However, I get there and see my then 13 year old son in the kitchen window, with my hubby on the porch, "locked out." I ask, "why didn't you have kiddo let you in?" I didn't know he was off school, he replies. Sigh.
I once left the room at what I thought was the end(nearly) of a seinfeld episode to go get a soda and pet my cat for a bit...maybe 5 min... I came back in the room and Everybody Loves Raymond was on... I glanced at the clock and it said it was about 23 minutes into the show and I freaked out thinking I lost a lot of time out of my life..I tweaked... My boyfriend was laughing. He changed the channel. :tongue:
Oh Lord, I always take the complicated route...simple solutions, bah! Here's some really good hippie logic though... Go to class sober, take the test sober. Go to class high, take the test high. That's actually been proven true though..i was excited to learn that. Um...okay here's another one. last year I had a really heavy psych book that we were required to bring to class every day. Well I don't want to lug that. So for about a week or two I would stay up late copying the chapter we were discussing in class word for word, rather than simply use the copier. This year in psych it took me about 3 weeks to figure out that I could print the powerpoints ahead of time and just make small notes on those (he told us the first day of class.), instead I was writing the powerpoints down as he presented them, frustrated that I couldn't write fast enough. I don't lock doors...because I figure if they want in they're getting in. A lock won't keep them out. So what's the point of locking the doors? Mostly I don't lock my doors because I believe that people are generally good and won't steal from me.
On your not locking doors things my friend would leave his door open constantly ( In the doorms) He even went on a non sanctioned vaction and left his door wide open
Had the same problem. Since then I just have all my keys on chains on my pants . Sure I look wierd but I'll never leave a key inside.
