Lost my keys at work

[Phil]

Fitting a bathroom, day two...skip arrived today.
Spent all morning filling the full size skip about half full of broken tiles and plaster with the shower enclosure glass on top and smashed into cubes.

Then at around 12:30pm I needed to go in my van, put my hand in my pocket where they always are and no keys...looked on bathroom window sill and not there.

I frantically search kitchen getting worried as I have two customers keys on there, my house keys and my only van keys so without them I'm screwed.

Searched absolutely everywhere and came to the conclusion they could only be in the skip. I spent an hour and a half in the skip before I found them right at the bottom of the opposite side I started from....god the relief.

I know...I was ready for smashing my drivers window just for somewhere else to look.

worse still is slamming the kangoo sliding door (which is ex BG) on your fingers , so some will know what happens next, the old auto click click locked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then you see a set of keys sitting on the passenger seat of your locked van, all before you have time to think , jeez my fingers hurt a tad!! In my case, I found my other set of keys still in my back pocket, didnt stop me losing 3 finger nails though.

I thought you were gonna say they were in your pocket. The times I've done that!

I'm paranoid about doing that so my keys are tethered to a coil type clip on my belt.

I'm speechless that the central locking worked.

Haha, yeah. I'll look all round a house for my pencil if I put it in the wrong pocket 😉
Also went a fortnight thinking I'd lost a pair of grips and an adjustable because I put them back in the wrong toolbox.

The simple answer is to drop strides to the knees ready for a quick getaway
