"Hello?"
"Hey Alex. You coming up here?"
"Yeah. I'm at the Exxon at the corner of FM306 & I-35."
"In New Braunfels?"
"Yeah. Should be in San Marcos in half an hour..."
"So about 11:45?"
"Sounds about right."
Five minutes later
[Ring Ring]
"Hello?"
"Hey Mom, sorry for calling so late. Is Dad still awake?"
"Sure, hold on."
"Hello?"
"Hi Dad. Sorry for calling so late. I wanted to try to figure this out myself but I figured the longer I tried the later it would get."
"No problem. What's going on?"
"I'm trying to start the car, but I can't."
"What's it doing?"
"Nothing. It won't even turn. It's like this key doesn't belong to this car... hmmm..."
"So it's not turning at all?"
"Hold on."
[silence]
[vroom]
"Nevermind, Dad. It seems to be working now."
"What was the problem?"
"I had the wrong key in there."
Observations
I've done that more times than I'd like to admit.
That, my friend, is grounds for a facefault.
Though I will admit to having tried, on one very tired occasion, to trying to start my car with the house key.
Given that the car's key is at least 3 times as big as the house key, it was an interesting experience.
Mike,
That's my excuse. The key I used belonged to a Ford Escort and it was an Escort I was trying to start. Just the wrong one...

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
