One mate decided against shagging a mates ex, my other mate did. He ended up doing the long walk to the clinic.
Was so drunk one night coming back from the pub and left the keys in the front door.Comment

Current car has got keyless ignition. Basically, you press a button and as long as the keys are in the car it'll start (i.e. in your pocket).
So regularly think tulipe, forgot something. But now of course I can leave engine running and go back and unlock the front door. Engine keeps running no problem with the keys out of the car.
I'm going to do it one day. Leave the keys in lock, drive to office. Of course, car wont restart without the keys which will then be 10 miles away.
(to be fair I think it does flash up a warning about keys not being in the car).Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

Went for bike ride once. Stuck bikes on back of my car, went to start point, planning to ride bikes home with family then get mrs to drive us back in her car to collect the car.
Of course, rode home, got to front door, and yes, you guessed it, she'd left her car keys in dashboard of my car.
Had to catch train/walk back to my car. (Too knackered to ride bike back!).Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

No it should cut out as soon as the keys are not in range...Originally posted by psychocandy View PostCurrent car has got keyless ignition. Basically, you press a button and as long as the keys are in the car it'll start (i.e. in your pocket).

Hopefully its guaranteed near fatal. Because for most people its quite hard to keep the keys far enough away from the car to keep it locked. I know my dads car unlocks itself and can start in the garage if the keys are not at the oposite side of the house. That means its impossible to secure the car and thieves can get into the garage, start the car and drive it off without any problems and can disarm the car when they cat to their own lockup...Originally posted by Spacecadet View Postthat sounds too dangerous to be legalComment

I did once drive a company car to the airport to pick up an important client and then forgot where I parked it. As it wasn't my car I only had a vague idea what it looked like. I think he was most impressed by wandering around for 20 minutes.bloggoth
