The thing about Doors and their Keys...

I just had the most unnerving day in many days today...


As I was leaving for office a courier boy came to deliver my property owner's mail and I was in a crazy rush to get to the cab as soon as humanly possible so I signed his log and was in a dilemma on whether or not to open the door and toss the mail in or just tuck it in my purse and run towards the elevator... Plus there were quite a few of my neighbor's guests trying to budge past me... Anyhow I tucked the mail in my purse... made a run for the floor below to get the elevator and got it.. boarded the cab... got to office...

On the way to office... I noticed I did not remember which pocket I kept my door keys in.. I also found out that the access badge to our office wasn't in my purse... so I sat at the office reception area and started rummaging through my purse hoping against hope that I hadn't lost my door keys which also had the keys to my bike attached to it....

You guessed it... in the commotion between the mail delivery boy, the neighbor's guest, some obnoxious kid who shut me out of the elevator on my floor... I left the keys dangling on the door....

Yeah well... to cut long story short, I took a cab back home, found out my door was locked and keys gone, our kind neighbor lady had locked it and kept the keys with her, she gave the keys to me with a cautionary advice and a scary anecdote of how a lady and her sis-in-law only recently had their throats slit in their house due to duplicate keys or something....

What lesson did I learn... The thing about doors and their keys is they shouldn't be present at the same place at the same time except for when the owner wants them to...
