No, she totally wasn't a drunken hookup! |
It was my bike key. Normally I keep secondary keys like this in a bowl on my dresser, but I guess I dumped it out into
this bag at some point, perhaps while I was packing and didn't want a bunch of keys rattling around loose. |
I must have had them in my hand when I put away the groceries. |
Just take a photocopy of them and then if you lose them, you'll have a backup set. |
Real men keep their keys in their pocket. When they remove them it means they are going to bed. When pants go on in
the morning, keys go back in. Anyone who differs from this plan has man problems. |
It's pretty hard to get into your car without the key. It had actually fallen off my keyring while I was walking
somewhere, it was a miracle we found it. (Dark parking lot!)
Always keep your keys on those keyrings that you can barely pry apart in the first place. |
I thought they were lost and gone forever, and got another copy made of my house key. My parents later discovered that I
had had a wild party at their house while they were away, and made me give them back my house key. A few days later, I
found the keys I had originally thought I'd lost, and had more parties (but we were more careful about cleaning up
after ourselves that time.) |
|
|
I looked everywhere, then I decided to just go to work and hope that my gf would be home when I got back. I grabbed my
scarf and, lo and behold, there they were. |
|
I must have been pissed off at the sound of my keys jangling in my pocket one drunken night because I apparently put
them in my wallet (which is always at a George Costanza level of bulkiness). Took a few hours to realize it the next
day. |
I put stuff in my shoes when I take them off at someone's house |
My son always loved playing with my keys when he was a toddler. I couldn't find them one day and i vaguely remember
hear him jangling them around. After a brief interrogation and not so brief search, they turned up... |
...For 4 hours, on a busy street in downtown Salt Lake City, UT. Someone actually gave them to an employee at a store,
and put a note on my windshield. And my car wasn't a P.O.S. car, either. |
I was working as a janitor at a student dorm in the summer. I left the keys in the door while I snuck into an unoccupied
room to have a nap. The keys disappeared and someone gave them to the front desk. BUSTED! However, if they didn't find
them it was going to cost $20,000 to re-key the whole dorm. |
After I had backtracked through an entire evening spent at an enormous mall, which included searching through a huge
movie theater (and recruiting movie theater employees). Panda Express was the last place I had been. |
|
Went to see a movie and couldn't find my keys when I went out to the parking lot. Went back and scanned every row of
the theater, checked w/ the employees to see if they were turned in. Went back outside and couldn't find my car!
Called a friend to pick me up, walked around to kill time and found my car parked farther than I remembered and my keys
sitting in the lock of the car door. |
When you get home and you really have to pee, everything sort of becomes a blur- and if you're like me, you totally
drop everything (groceries, keys, books, bags, whatever) by the bathroom door/in the bathroom to retrieve post-peeing.
The keys often end up by the sink- but once you can't find those keys, you never think to check the bathroom. Weird. |
I came home with the keys in my hand, went straight to the fridge, put the keys in to get a bottle and left them there.
Took me quite a bit to find them the next time I was leaving the apartment. I've also left my cell phone and the remote
control there so often that it's now one of the first places I look when I misplace something:) |

Keys to the family cottage - must have thrown them in my pocket when leaving the cottage last time. Went on a frantic
search to find them the next time we were going to the cottage which was utterly fruitless. After cleaning our house
thoroughly 2 weeks later, I picked up the denim skirt to fold it and put it away and lo and behold, there were the keys. |
More than once, I've forgotten to take the keys out of the front door handle after I've opened it. Usually happens
when I'm bringing in a bunch of groceries or the like. |
|
I found some work keys (after asking everyone else if they had them, and frantically looking for copies...) in a pair of
pants that had been washed, folded, and put away! They were the same pair of pants I was wearing when I last had the
keys, go figure. It took me 2 or 3 weeks to find them. :) |
The couch is right inside the front door and, like the person who left them in the bathroom, it was a urinary emergency.
I threw them on the couch and didn't think about it until a few hours later when I went to leave again... I also found
a pen, some popcorn kernels, and 12 cents. |
He ate my house key while I was locked inside. Not fun! |
It was one of those little tykes type trics that have the seat that opens for them to keep their toys. It took a week
before they were found by accident. |
Left them in my jeans and then did laundry. |
After a bit of friendly wrasslin' with my then-girlfriend, my keys apparently slid off the comforter and snugly and
invisibly wedged themselves there. Next morning, after 25 minutes of late-for-work panic, I found them after having a
lightbulb moment: they weren't on/under/behind/around the bed, so the bedframe was the only remaining answer. I felt
like a late-for-work Sherlock Holmes. |
I remember this one time I couldn't find my keys. I was all, "Oh noes! I can't find my keys, blah blah blah."
And then I looked for my keys. And then I found my keys. My keys were on a table. If you lose your keys they might be
on a table. ROFLOLWTFBBQ! |
still haven't figured out how they got there |
See also: Glasses, wallet, ID, book, iPod, headphones, camera, and even laptop. |
Whenever I am looking like crazy for my keys and I cannot find them, I usually take my spare, get out to my unlocked car
(i live in a relatively safe and empty neighborhood) and lo and behold, there are my keys swinging there in the
ignition. Thanks. |
Oops. |
I once spent 15 minutes looking for my keys, only to realize that I was holding them in my hand the whole time. |
The first time I must have been putting away the dishes when I put the keys in the the drawer.
The second time the keys must have fallen out of my pocket when I sat down to watch a soccer game. |
My college dorm had some rooms with fireplaces that were bricked up. I used to normally leave my keys on my desk by the
door. One day I went all the way across the room and left it behind some stuff on the mantle. WTF. I freaked out
until I found them hours later. |
I found somebody else's keys lying on the ground, and they had a car alarm. I walked around while hitting the button
until I found which car they belonged to, wrote down the plate number, and took it to the store's lost-n-found with a
note that had the plate number on it. |
The key somehow poked through the lining in a suitcase. Couldn't find it for years, then was randomly looking under the
lining (there's a velcro thingy you can painstakingly undo to remove the lining) and lo and behold there was the key! |
I must have left them in my pocket when I took off my pants, and then they fell out among the rest of the dirty clothes. |

I used to be notorious for losing my keys, leaving them here and there... so now I have a hook by my door. I hang them
there first thing when I get home every day! No more lost keys! |
In my car. I have a spare house key in my car and a spare car key in my house (on the theory that I may have one and not
the other.) |
My girl friend had to come visit me in Florida for a few days, her last night there she used my house keys to lock up as
I loaded her bags. 2 hours after her plane left and I finally got home I realized she still had them. |
If somebody broke into my house...the last place they'd look to find my keys would be the pickle jar in the fridge. I
prefer dill over sweet, but a picture of a dancing pickle would be pretty sweet too. |
I returned to my car after lunch at a diner and realized my keys were not in my pocket. I walked up to the car and
looked inside and the keys were still hanging in the ignition. Then I noticed the noise and realized I had never turned
the car off. But no worries, the doors were all unlocked! |
No wait those are my glasses. I still don't know where my keys are. Can you help? |
I rarely lose my keys because, if I'm wearing pants, my keys are in them. However, I have left them in the door a
shocking number of times. I agree with Montenegro that guy's who don't have their keys on them when they have pockets
are strange. It is fun to prank them by closing their door when they step out of their office, though. |
somehow they always know that they're supposed to be in the last place i check. |
My friend lost his key, which was not on a keyring. After 20 minutes of looking frantically, we discovered it slipped
inside his wallet, which was in the same pocket. |
I will take my keys out of the ignition, take off my sunglasses, and swap them for my regular glasses (in the case in
the car). Doing this will mean that I will often lay my keys down to have that hand free. This used to be a problem,
until I got a car which locks only with the fob on the key. Now I can't lock myself out of the car! |
I put them there for safekeeping, and then forgot. |
|
|
Stopped in the Columbia river gorge to take a picture. Then we couldn't find the keys to get back in the car. We
hadn't walked more than 20 feet from the car, in the middle of a barren wasteland. Still it took us 10 minutes to find
the keys. |
I have never lost my keys. As such, all people here seem idiotic to my awesome key-keeping skillz. Ph34r. |
I think they fell in when I was finger-banging her. After sexing her, I found the ring stuck on my knob. |
The boyfriend and I had been drinking, and he was throwing around the idea of going to get fast food. I guess I hadn't
drank enough to think it was a good idea, so I apparently threw both our car keys in the laundry hamper when he wasn't
looking...It took us forever to find them the next day... |
Maybe if I made my bed more often, this wouldn't be a problem. |
Threw a bunch of crap on the bed. They slid under the blankets then down to the foot of the bed and under the mattress
where the blanket was tucked in. Found them the next time I changed the sheets.

Lost those suckers twice, and both times, sharp-eyed ladies found them and returned them to me. |
They'd fallen out of my pants pockets whilst I was sitting on the can. |
I was on a patrol in the border region near Pakistan and lost my keys. I looked everywhere, but couldn't find them and
went back to the states without them. Four months later, a buddy of mine in another unit passed through the same area
and found them in the tall grass just outside our old campsite when he went to take a leak. He recognized my fob and
mailed them back to me. Crazy. |
I left my keys at the inlaws 3 hours away and had to have them overnighted. Husband didn't have the spare to start the
car. 2 days after I got them in the mail, I used them to unlock the garage and put them on top of my car so they would
not get lost. I forgot and thought they were locked in the garage and wasn't able to drive for 2 more days, until I
found them on top of the car. |
had 'em in my pocket (community tub) and didn't realize. Took hours the next day to locate. |
Thankfully I'm not the only one with safe keys around here. |
I found my keys in the cheese!!! |
Accidentally swallowed my house key. Had an MRI later and when the machine turned on the key shot through my body, came
out, and stuck to the machine. D'oh. |
They must have fallen out of my pocket in the mall parking lot. I guess the plow scooped them up. They didn't resurface
till spring. |
I arrived and put my lunch in the fridge along with my keys that were still in my hand. I'm always leaving them in the
car door or the door to our house too. |
I had to use a spare key for the car, and they were pointed out to me while sitting in traffic by a friendly motorist. |
Left them there after practice and it was dark. Had to bring out friends with super-size flashlights to find them. I
did a circle pattern and two people did line patterns. Not sure we were very efficient. :) |
|
Somehow, I had been picking up things looking under them, while the keys were still in my hand! How is that possible? |
Keep ypu hot keys hot or your cold keys cold |
I was working at a restaurant, and a friend thought it would be funny to hide my keys. However, she completely forgot
about it and ended up leaving work with my keys still hidden. Fortunately, after having checked all the spots I could
have left them I figured that someone might be messing with me, and I was able to locate them quickly. |
This happens all the time. Usually on the way in, not out. None of my neighbors have broken in, or knocked to tell me
about them. |
BECAUSE WHY WOULD YOU KEEP LOOKING AFTER YOU FOUND THEM?>?!! nyuk nyuk |
Parking with a nice young man named David many years ago. For some reason he pulled the keys out of the ignition and put
them on the dash. That was a long walk back to town, but it sure was worth it ;) |
looked for almost two hours, tore the house to shreds looking... knowing that i had just had my key in my hand....
turns out, i had a hole in my pocket, and the key slid down my leg and stuck in the upper of my boot.... didn't find
it till i gave up looking and began taking off my boots cause i was too pissed off to go hiking anymore.. |
Not really, I don't even know your mom. I'm sure she's a perfectly respectable woman. |
On the roof of my car after driving about 22km.

Somehow, they slipped out of my pocket as I was taking off my pants and they landed in the cuff at the bottom. I hung
the pants up in the closet and didn't find the keys for almost a week, when I wore those same pants again. |
A friend of mine had his private pilot license and we decided to fly from San Diego up to Burbank for dinner. Somehow
the keys slipped out of my pocket while in the restaurant. I didn't notice until we had flown back to San Diego and we
were standing outside of my car. We ended up getting a taxi to get back home and then flew back up to Burbank again the
next day to retrieve said keys. |
Going home from work - couldn't find the keys for the car - got a spare set and drove home - next morning when I parked
the car I saw them sitting on top of a fence in front of the parking lot - guess I must have droped them, and a nice
soul had picked them up and placed them on top of the fence, so they were easy to spot. |
Go to a drive through ATM outside the bank, wait in line behind two cars, get to the front of the line and the ATM
isn't working. Ok, WTF, right? So I pull into a parking spot, wallet still in hand, so I can go inside to the ATM.
Step outside of the car and start digging into my pockets, realize the key is missing, still in the ignition. I have to
walk home to retrieve my spare. |
no idea. maybe i thought they were dirty? |
I locked up my rental bike at a mall in Paris. When I returned, I couldn't for the life of me remember where I put the
bike key. I went through my pockets and bag a few times, made frantic calls. Finally I decided to look on the ground
nearby, and I found there was a shallow sewer grate under my bicycle, and lo and behold there was the key. |
Ran inside, changed my clothes, went to leave and couldn't find them. Took me 30 minutes to find them. Apparently I'd
seen a piece of paper on the bed and thrown it away, along with the keys in my hand. |
Don't staple your keys on your face. I did this and forgot, and then of course I couldn't see them, because they were
stapled to my face. Eventually, though, I caught my reflection in a shimmering pool of my own urine and saw them. Boy
was my face red! |
I was following a pesky kid that could fly and I reached out, whammo that croc snapped off my hand with my key. I had to
wear a hook after that and one day I was trying to find a ruby that got swallowed by the same croc, well voila! there
they were....fancy that. |
My keys are either in my pocket, or on my dresser, or in my hand, or in the ignition of my running car. If I am
traveling for an extended period of time and don't need them, they would be clipped in my carry on suitcase. |
kays are expensive in Zimbabwe. They want $100,000,000,000,000 for a new one. Inflation sucks. |
They'd been gone for days when I had this dream that my keys were glowing, like silver, in the baby carriage. The next
day, in the afternoon, I remembered the dream and thought, why not check? The keys had been gone for days, including the
mail key, where bills were piling up. Pretty serious. It took my breath away when I found them there. Really weird. |
My wife and I had been missing one of our garage door opener remotes for nearly a year. One night, I heard the garage
door opener starting and stopping suddenly. I found our 5 year old playing with the remote. It had been inside a
plastic easter egg, where she (or her sister) had put it months earlier. |
I locked myself inside--my deadbolt requires key on both sides. Searched frantically, knowing the keys had to be inside
because the door was locked. Gave up, got my spare set & went to work. When I got back I tore the house apart. Found
them in the storage room on top of the Christmas decorations where I set them when I changed the furnace filter. I had
checked on top of the furnace 1st! |
I had put my keys on a little table in the front hallway and they must have fallen onto the floor which must have been
littered with shoes. Then somebody tidied up. It was a few days before I went to put that particular pair of shoes on
and found my keys. |
I went to open the car and realized I had no keys, I looked through everything on my person to no luck. Then I noticed
the keys had been under the driver's side door for a few hours. Luckily nobody had noticed. |
Hi |
Apparently a preventative measure to keep me from killing myself or others on the road after getting hammered. Thanks
man! |
Was fishing one summer and it was about 100 degrees F, and I decided to dive off the front of the boat to cool off.
Took my phone out of my pocket and jumped in. Swam a little then climbed back in the boat. Saw my wallet floating
beside the boat and grabbed it and then checked for my keys. The next 2 hours were spent diving to the bottom till my
buddy found them. |
Sorry but I never lose my keys. Never have, not even once. I think it's a neurosis. |
Foretunately I had only gone around the block to test a fix to the street motorcycle. All metal keys too so no
melting... |
They fell out of my pocket while riding Space Mountain. The awesome "cast members" there turned them in to lost and
found, and I retrieved them at the end of the day. Whew! |

I actually made it a point to quit all forms of keys. I don't lock my house. My car doesn't require a key to start and
I have a HID card to get into my office.
I'm actually very pleased with the result.
I thoroughly enjoy your site and hijinks.

I set my keys on the roof of a friend's car after work one night. She left before I did. I didn't remember putting
them there. The next day as she drove up I saw them stuck in the weather stripping of her back window. They slid off
of the roof and stuck there for a 60 mile round trip journey! |
P.S. I live in North Carolina. |
While parking my car I found a key ring with dozens of keys-- like some janitor had lost it.
I contacted some likely places nearby but no luck. I contact the police but then I'd have to drive downtown. No way. I
accidentally left it with a girl I dated (not my problem any more).
I hope they weren't Rob's keys. |
My husband lost his keys, which he NEVER does. About a week and a half later later, the refrigerator dispensed an ice
cube with part of the keys sticking out of it. We never did figure out how it got there. |
I have no idea how I left them there, but one evening I found my keys under the windchimes in the back yard. |
I had a wallet with a keyring on it, so when I lost one I lost the other. Upended my whole damn dorm room, furniture
lifting and all. Exhausted, I spied her purse and figured it was worth a look. I guess she grabbed a handful of stuff
and tossed it in her purse without looking? Ergo: not my fault, I AM BLAMELESS IN THE KEY LOSING DEPARTMENT. |
