Man, this is getting ridiculous! I/Me/This guy am so over this. It seems like every single day/all the time/a few times a week I'm stuck outside, scratching my head/shaking my fist/pulling at my hair. Did Perhaps I really forget my keys/the combination/the darn thing again? Really? This needs to stop!
- I definitely need a spare key!
- {Or maybe I just need to be more organized.|Maybe if I was more organized/responsible/careful, this wouldn't happen.End of list
Car Keys Gone AWOL!
My heart just about stopped when I realized that my car keys were gone. I desperately searched every nook and cranny, but they were nowhere to be found. I'm feeling stressed because now open locked house door without key I have no way to make it to that awesome concert tonight.
I've already looked all the usual spots, like my purse. Maybe they're buried somewhere? I even thought about the possibility that a mischievous creature might have snatched them.
This is the worst possible scenario. What am I going to say?

Stuck Outside : A Tale of Two Vehicles
It was/were a scorching summer day and my trusty truck/SUV/car decided to choose/pick/select this moment to fail/quit/break down. I was totally/completely/utterly stranded/stuck/locked out, sweating profusely in the blazing heat. Just as I was about to freak out/panic/lose it, I saw a glimmer of hope: my neighbor's shiny new sports car/convertible/luxury sedan parked across the street. Thinking/Assuming/Hopiing that they might have a spare key/tool/set, I raced over and knocked/rapped/pounded on their door. To my surprise/disappointment/shock, no one answered.
My luck seemed to be as bad/terrible/awful as the heat. Back at my own vehicle/ride/carnage, I tried everything/any trick in the book/all the obvious things to get in, but nothing worked.
Goodness Gracious! I'm Locked Out!
I am so stressed right now. My car door is stuck and I can't get in! I've tried all the usual things, but nothing helps. I'm really out of options. I have a deadline to get to and I don't know what to do! Is there anyone who can come to my rescue?
- What should I do?
- Is there a solution?
- Do you know any car mechanics in the area?
I'm feeling hopeless. Please, any help would be appreciated!
