Default I have gone full retard.....

Twice now I have had to call someone to pick me up at a store because I forgot my key fob at home. Apparently the fob is close enough to start the car at the house and twice I did not notice the instrument cluster saying idiot go back home and get the key fob.......

Yupi joke about that....

I had a customer when I was back at carmax come to our service department. She said her car was always beeping at her. In the car and when she would get out. It was a Buick Lacrosse I think, anyways it was on push button start. I asked her what she did with her keys when she turned the car off. She showed me that she would turn it off and put the key in her purse. She got out of the car and closed the door and it did 3 quick honks, indicating there was a key in the car. I asked her if she had a spare key, she said yes it was in the glove box.

This lady left the fob to the push to start car in the glove box. I told her, she can't leave her key in the glove box, she looked so puzzled and couldn't understand why. I had to literally show her how easily it could be stolen by walking her back inside our service driver. I told her to hit the lock button, she did. I walked back out hit the button on the door handle, got in the car and drove it to the other side of the service bay.

Needless to say she said she was gonna leave the key in her condo from now on.
