I recall a guy that used to work at the place that I just retired from, had something happen to him that this post reminded me of:

It was a couple years ago during the winter and the gang I worked with was sitting in the shop having a coffee and going over the week's intended schedules first thing on Monday morning. The guy the story is about was sitting in my chair that morning. While we were talking work and sipping coffee, his cell phone rang. He excused himself from the table and moved to the far side of the shop to take the call. There was quite a bit of mumblings coming from his direction and then his head repeatedly kept shaking from side to side as if in astonishment over something.

Upon returning to the group (and my chair), he indicated that it was his wife that was calling him. It happened that it was a very cold winter morning, and as was the custom, he typically left for work before his wife did. To do her a favor, he had started her vehicle before he left home in order to allow the SUV to warm up so she had a warm ride as soon as she hopped in to go to work. That was nice gesture! Right?

Well he had intensionally locked the now running vehicle, as his wife might be another 5 minutes or so before she left for work and he didn't want to leave the SUV running unattended in the street. He had left his SUV set of keys inside, but made sure that his wife's keys and keyless lock set were in the house for her.

When she called him she was furious as she was unable to open the vehicle and it was now running outside so he was supposed to get his buns home to try and open the now locked buggy. Apparently the keyless lock set is disabled whenever the vehicle is running and the doors are locked.

The poor guy was getting reamed after he thought he had done such a nice gesture for her. After he got her quieted down and got the whole story, he calmly directed his wife to go back outside and try things again. Immediately she barked that she had allready tried the keyless entry system countless times and was getting angrier with each try that failed to open the door.

"Not a problem", he indicated.

He instructed her to go right up to the vehicle again outside, and with an outstretched arm and with her keyless entry and keys in hand, point the vehicle key at the door lock set, push it in the door, then turn it....................There was dead silence for a moment, then came a sheepish, "oh" from the other end of the phone. Hence the start of the head repeatedly shaking from side to side in astonishment from the poor hen pecked husband.

Now if y'all think I'm going to give you a heads up on who this story is about, then I'd be crazier than those that walk amongst us!
