Locked out of my house

Something really embarrassing just happened. 

Work ended at 1040pm and I reached home at 1140pm... 

And I forgot my house keys. 

Strangely, the house fan and lights were still on but no one answered when I screamed, called, and not one of the family members who stayed in my house picked up their cell phones or my home phone. 

I felt worried that my mom fainted or something because the phones rang rang loudly and even I could hear it outside of my house and the lights and fan was still on which is unlike my mom's usual practices. 

I tried calling for 15 - 20 times and finally decided to call my brother in law for the extra set of house key he holds. 

Had to waste like 13 bucks of taxi fare to go and collect the key from him and when I reached I forgot what floor he stayed at. 

And when I saw him he asked me like 2 times why I didn't bring my keys out today. 

It is so embarrassing because #1) I have an ego lol 2) he is a manager and I feel dumb doing something dumb like this 3) I wasted money. 

When I reached home my mom was awake and drying her hair with a hair dryer. Turned out she was in the toilet bathing and also washing the toilet, and my brother was fast asleep. 

Seriously!

I need to use Hokkien and singlish to curse. 

'Wa Lao eh sibei du lanzzzz'

I will never forget my keys again.

These things happen. Maybe you should consider keeping a backup key in your purse, or anything you always carry around with you. That, or you could put a locksmith’s number on your speed dial. Haha! Anyway, I hope that’s the last time that had to happen. Have a nice day!

How unfortunate that you forgot your keys, but how much more annoying that nobody picked up their phone or answered the door. What terrible timing that your mom had to be using and cleaning the bathroom. At least you got a set of spare keys. But that is a shame to have to pay the extra taxi fare.
