Cool Does this ever happen to you?

It seems every time I walk up to my car or apartment door with one arm loaded with groceries, tools or any crap, my keys are always in that loaded side's pant pocket. And, I always try to reach across with the free hand, but can never reach while trying not to drop every thing. Why can't I plan ahead? BTW, I live on the third floor, so no matter how much stuff I buy, its all coming up in one trip. Its amazing how many of those plastic bags from the grocery store you can get wrapped around your fingers. By the time I get to the top floor, my fingers are screemin.

Yeah, just substitute 'purse' for 'pants pocket' and 'third step of deck' for 'third floor apt.' and you got the picture.
What are we thinking?
I hate the way those plastic bags allow all your stuff to come out while driving from the store to home, but the way you can carry about 15 bags at once almost makes up for it.
Screaming fingers. LOL

Dunno if it's true everywhere else, but here in Atlanta, the grocery stores go wild with those plastic bags. If you buy nine items, almost always, you walk away with nine bags!!

Talking

Whenever I stop at a 7-Eleven for a gallon of milk, the clerk always says, "Want a bag for that?".

Deadpan, I say, "No thanks, I'll drink it here.".

I can tell what kind of day they're having by the response.

I used to work at a liquor store. One day as soon as I opened up at 10am, a guy walked in and asked for a pint of Jack Daniels. Before I could give him his change back, he slammed the empty bottle back down on the counter. I said your not allowed to drink in the store, but I guess it was too late for that.

98SCREAMER, I was thinking the same thing, but I did not want to embarrass him. I am glad you said it, and not me.

I had a guy do that as well with a fifth after I pulled him over. He locked the doors and windows, slammed it...unlocked the doors and got out.
...after I got the cuffs on I asked him why. He said: I knew I was f#@&ed, so I didn't want to remember my night in jail...

oh boy...

I always get into my truck, put on the seatbelt and remember my keys are still in my pocket. Almost every damn time.

Thumbs up

JUPITER, I used to do that too. I changed my routine because of the way these trucks run. I am now in the habit of putting the key in and starting the truck first thing, before I even close the door. Because on start up, the tach jumps to 1700 then, about five seconds later it drops to 1100, then five or so more it drops under a 1000. I use that time to shut door, seatbelt, tilt wheel down, check myself in the mirror(apply lipstick if necessary).
If I did all that first and then had to wait for the tach to come down, I probably could have just walked.

Downside is the warning chime for:
open door,
seatbelt,
insufficient lipstick

(Oops! Wrong website! I didn't mean lipstick, I meant beard growth. I check to see if I need a shave...then I spit)
