Literally realized, “how will I put this stuff in the car in order to have my hands free to grab the keys if I don’t have the keys” and turned around just in time to see the door fully closed.
And I always turn the latch to lock itself when I step outside, or I’d never remember to lock the door.
Thank goodness for the hide-a-key with a house key stuck in the filth on the underside of my car.
I won’t lock a door, any door, unless the key to unlock it is in my hand currently. Learned my lesson.
This is the reason I’m one of those weirdos that clips a key carabiner to my belt. My key fob died so I always lock the car from inside while getting out, but if no keys… So I always did the belt slap while getting out. If it jingled, good to go.
Ever since getting a carabiner I’ve lost my keys so much less and now I’m realizing this is much more ADHD than I thought…
Yep keys clipped, wallet right hoodie pocket, if they aren’t there they don’t exist anymore.
