I can be such an idiot!!!

Yesterday morning when I parked at the train station in Jersey (to take the train into Philly), I noticed hundreds of people on the platform when usually there are only about 30. I thought something might have been wrong, so as I got out of the car, I called my boyfriend, Rob. Turns out it was nothing.

After work, I’m on the train and I go to get my keys out of my bag when I realize I don’t have my keys. Okay, I figure, I must have left them in the car during the commotion in the morning. Not a problem, I have a spare key.

I walk to my usual spot in the parking lot and my car is gone! Oh no! My car has been stolen!! I call Rob but he doesn’t answer! I’m freaking out! I go in the station and call the train police who tell me that my car wasn’t stolen, it was towed. Turns out I must have really been distracted because I not only left my keys in the car, I left my car running!!!! The cop on the phone tells me they towed it so it won’t get stolen and I have to go to Camden to get it released.

Rob picks me up (after half an hour of trying to get a hold of him) and we go to downtown Camden. I sign the papers and they tell me my car is at an impound lot in West Philly!!! And of course the lot closed at 5pm. Oh yeah, and I have to pay 100 bucks to the towing company and the cops also gave me a ticket for leaving my car running! So now I have to leave work early and go to some towing company. They towed it like 40 minutes away from the train station where I was parked! I don’t get it!!

I seriously can’t believe I did this. And I can’t believe it’s this big of a hassle to get my car. I feel so stupid. Ugh, I’m just venting. This is probably one of the stupidest things I’ve ever done.

Now THAT sounds like a nightmare! I'm not a morning person and I can totally understand how someone could do something like that. When I went to a community college back home, I must have left my lights on in the parking lot every single morning. The little golf-cart security guy had to jump me off at least twice a week. It was embarrassing after a while.
