I never had an ordeal quite like MBC's, but I did once have a harrowing lock-your-keys-in-the-car incident that changed my habits forever. After a 12-hour day working at the Renaissance Faire in Agoura, I had to trudge about a quarter mile to my car only to realize, as I approached it, that I had locked the keys inside. This was years before keyless entry, so there was no way to get into my car without a trusty wire hanger, which was now a quarter mile away.
But, um, why is my car shaking? uh-oh. It's because the key's in the car, in the ignition, and the car is ON.
