i'm not smart

so today I had a bunch of letters to mail that needed stamps. lots of letters. lots of stamps. so I go to the post office to buy about 50 of those things (which are now stickers...which is great because you don't have to get that taste on your tongue) AND this really nice lady at the counter asks me if she can help, and I'm thinking, boy I hope so because if you can't, I don't know who can...

I ask the lady for 50 stamps and she says "would you like any particular type of stamp"...and i'm thinking..."no, the ones that go on envelopes will do just fine" So I purchase said stamps and leave the post office and walk to the parking lot to get into my car. i reach for my keys and i don't have them. so i'm thinking, i've never locked myself out of my car before...this is interesting, but it's a good thing that i left my windows down.

I look in through the windows to see where i left them...ingnition? nope. cup holder? nope. did i drop them on the seat? nope. At this point I'm thinking, "ok, i must have left them in the Post Office, so I walk towards the building and this customer leaves as I'm entering. In her hands I could see a Beyond Fitness pass, and what I thought was a drum key...both of which are on my key ring, but this customer keeps walking. I stopped at the door and kind of turned to address her, but she had kept walking.

Turns out she doesn't speak english. AND she didn't take to kindly to me trying to take "her" keys from her...as she rushed to her car and tried to get in real fast...so I just stood there with a half grin on my face while she "figured it out"...
