I answered my cell phone because the Caller ID said it was a close relative of mine. She will remain nameless. I won't even reveal her gender - she'd be embarrassed.
Seems she was locked out of her car. The battery in the fob was apparently dead, so she couldn't unlock the doors. Car is in the Des Peres Lodge parking lot. "I'll be there in 10 minutes," I said.
About 9 minutes later, I see her standing by her white Acura SUV. I asked her for the fob. It had, as I suspected, an embedded hidden mechanical key. I got the mechanical key out and gave it to Damsel. She tried to use it to unlock her car, but it wouldn't work. So I tried. It didn't work. I tried it twice more, and as I was doing that, a female voice nearby said, "Excuse me, I'd like to get in my car."
Yep. We were trying to get in the wrong white Acura SUV. Damsel was initially unconvinced of that, but she eventually came around, and was able to laugh about it.
Not as hard as I laughed, but some.
Damsel's white Acura SUV was then located 50 feet away, and her fob's battery worked just fine.
