The Key to Success
Smart: Leaving a spare key in a secret hiding place in the garage in case you ever lock yourself out of your condo.
Not So Smart: Forgetting to return the key to the secret hiding place after you use it.
I went for a run on my way home from work and when I got home I was sweaty, and tired, and hungry, and all I wanted was a nice shower and something to eat. I realized I didn't have my house keys with me. No problem, I'll just use my secret spare. But I couldn't find it. I was thinking, "this IS my secret hiding place, right? Of course it is... I distinctly remember taking the key when I locked myself out 2 months ago..." And there's the problem. My spare key was still sitting on the counter, waiting to be returned. So I had to drive back to work, exhausted and smelly, and rummage through my desk to get my keys.
To answer your question, no I haven't put the spare key back yet. I'll try to remember to do it tomorrow.
