Okay, s*&^! It happened! I've lost the darn door key. The door/entrance/entryway is solid as a brick. Of course, it always seems to be when I'm in a hurry.
Hmm... maybe I could climb through a window/pry open a loose pane/sneak past the dog. Nah, that's too risky/dangerous/outlandish. Looks like I'm going to have to call my neighbor/wait for my roommate/ask for help from the landlord. This is such a pain in the neck.
I swear, next time I buy a spare key/hide a key somewhere safe/install a smart lock.

Finally, if all else fails, don't stress. You can always reach out a locksmith to make you a new set of keys. It might be an extra expense, but it's absolutely better than being stuck without your car!
