“So I have to ask you kind of a weird question…”
July 13th, 2006"… did you walk off with my keys?"
I’ve had to ask this question not once, but twice this week.
See, I live in a third floor walk-up, so when people I know/people I’m expecting, ring the bell, I lean out the window and drop down the keys. They can then let themselves in and give me my keys when they come up… except, apparently, this week.
I used to lose my keys fairly often and it’s a horrible feeling, but when you frantically search and the keys are NOT IN THE APARTMENT, it’s even worse. So twice I’ve had to call someone and say "Um… did you walk off with my keys in your pocket?" And both times the answer was yes.
Thank gods they were both people I trust implicitly and talk to/see on a regular basis… but twice in one week? This is getting to be a bit much.
Umm…perhaps you should consider getting a spare set of keys made up? Ones that you use just for chucking out the window at (err, I mean to) visitors…

You know, you’re not the first to mention this. Problem is that I’d never know if they walked off with those kieys

Ha! I was going to make the same suggestion as Jason, but then of course you make a very valid point!
