Okay, Shoot! Here we go again! I've locked myself out. The door/entrance/entryway is completely closed. Of course, it could not happen at a less convenient moment.
Hmm... maybe I could climb through a window/pry open a loose pane/sneak past the dog. Nah, that's too risky/dangerous/outlandish. Looks like I'm going to have to call my neighbor/wait for my roommate/ask for help from the landlord. This is such a pain in the neck.
I swear, next time I buy a spare key/hide a key somewhere safe/install a smart lock.

Losing your car keys can be a really frustrating experience. It happens to the greatest of us! But before you freak out, take a deep breath and consider these steps.
First, retrace your movements from the past few hours. Think about where you've been and what you've touched. Maybe they're in a different place than usual. Check your pockets thoroughly, as well as any surfaces you might have placed them on.

Finally, if all else fails, don't stress. You can always call a locksmith to make you a new set of keys. It might be an extra price, but it's certainly better than being stuck without your car!
