... goes to me. 
I had to share my shame but don't dare tell somebody I actually know. They must only think I am mildly retarded, not completely.
Every morning I go out and start my car. I have two sets of keys. My spare set, which is usually left at home in case I lock myself out, I leave in the ignition and the other I use to open the car back up when it is warm and toasty. I also have a usb on one of my keychain. Today I am at work looking for that usb when I realize that I must have left it in my car. I go outside, see that both sets of keys and the drive are in my car and my door is locked.
I'm 25 miles from home, it is snowing and took about an hour 10 to get there today. The boyfriend is probably a 2 hour drive away, but it wouldn't matter if I called him because all my keys are inside my car, instead of leaving that spare set at home for situations like this.
So I call the cops to come out and help me out. They charge $50 to do so. I had no idea what else to do and thats what a few people suggested. My whole car is manual and broken and fucked up so they are having just a helluva time trying to unlock it. Part of my lock breaks off.
Then he realizes that the passenger door was unlocked the whole time.
I can't apologize enough for wasting their time, but mostly, I just want to die. I was so embaressed I wanted to cry and laugh or just do something, but my stupidity has shocked me to the point of speechlessness. I stand there in the snow and cold with my head in my hands. As my dad would always say... sometimes all I can do is shake my head. At least now he has a story to tell others to make themselves feel better.
Time to drink.

I really do want to laugh... I just can't bring myself to yet. Like when Cartman broke his funny fuse.
Shit happens, sometimes you get to laugh about it later.

In the art of dialogue, the ultimate way of escaping an embarrassing situation is by you being the one to crack better jokes on yourself than anyone in the party can. In doing so, you don't do it as a means of punishment, but as a way of showing "Hey, it's no big deal. Lets laugh about it."
