Today was an interesting day. I left to go take a quick test at work this morning, once there I realized I didn't have my house key. Not a big deal, because Joe would be home until I got done. That's what happens when only 1 person has the debit card.
After the test I took a brief trip to Wally World and drove home. Upon pulling into the driveway, I see Joe sitting on the front porch steps with the dogs. I thought it was cute that he would be waiting outside for me to get home. Then I saw the half smile on his face when I got out of the car.
Me: "Don't tell me you got locked out because I don't have my house key either."
Joe: "What do you mean you don't have your keys?"
Me: "I didn't realize I didn't have them until I got to work because I left without my coat since it was so nice out this morning. I didn't think it was a big deal because you were home."
Joe: "Yeah, well I didn't realize the door was locked after you left. I guess I'm going to have to smash the garage window."
That's just what he did. Though to keep us safe he did board up the broken window. We'll be getting replacement glass here shortly. He did buy a new door lock set. The one that was on the house the internal knob turned fully whether the door was locked or unlocked. It was annoying because this is the second time this has happened, but the first resulting in smashed glass. The first time Joe locked himself out, he was taking the dogs out for the last walk of the night,. He finished up and realized the door was locked. He pounded on the door for 5 minutes before I woke up and heard him. Talk about peeved! I actually tried to find him to check on the pounding on the door before I noticed he wasn't in the house and neither were the dogs.
The new lock system was overdue after that night.
