We were driving behind a car full of teenagers. They stopped for a red light and decided to do a "Chinese Fire Drill" (get out and run around the car and get back in before the light changes). The car doors locked with the car running! It was so funny!!! There they stood in the street. They all had cell phones and were calling for help! It doesn't always happen to "old people"!

Now that is FUNNY!!
We had a 1967 Thunderbird that would automatically lock it's doors if you were stupid enough to get out of the car with it running. Needless to say, we had to keep an extra set of keys hidden in the wheel well. But I did love that car!!

Yes, it's getting pretty badly when one tries to open the front door to the house by pressing the button on the car keys as well...

I stopped at a store one day, parked, and as I was getting out of my Jeep I noticed the couple in the truck in front of me. The woman was pointing and laughing, the man looked up and started grinning. I looked down and even reached behind me and no, my dress wasn't hiked up anywhere. Deciding that they must have been laughing at someone or something else, I proceeded into the store. When I pushed my sunglasses up to the top of my head I discovered not only another pair of sunglasses but 2 pairs of readers up there too.

Oh, I can relate to your story, as I drove to Wal-Mart and shopped for grocerys. I unlocked the trunk laying the keys on the floor board and after shutting the trunk realized my keys were inside. I had no spare and no way to unlock the car door let alone the trunk. I went back into the store to use the pay phone and the phone book had been taken. I didn't have enough money for a cab. I ask one lady and her daughter if they could take me home but she was going the opposite direction. I finally approached a young guy and ask him. He agreed to take me home to get my other set of keys. Here I am getting in a black pickup truck with a strange man I didn't know. He was nice and waited until I unlocked two locks on the door with a bent key which was my spare, went in the house, got my spare key and drove me back to Wal-Mart. I offered to write him a check, but he declined. I did thank him and offered to help him if he ever need it.

driving in DC, I was so rattled by the one way streets and dead ends that when I got to my destination that I got out of the car and locked the doors with the car running. Thank goodness it was at my then husbands work and he was able to open the car and turn it off. Hate driving in DC

One day I after work and I got in van and started it. I had to get out for some reason. I have this habit of when I get out I push the lock button. Of course I locked the door. I had to wait for an hour while the CAA finally came to unlock the door.
