I drive a taxi cab van Mon – Thurs evenings for a small locally owned company & TIFU.
These are the texts I sent the owner at 1:23 am:
I screwed up, when I went home earlier I left my bag there. My car keys are in the bag. I didn’t realize it until I did my paperwork & locked your door. So I’m sleeping in my car until you leave for town at 5:45. Then we can go to my house so I can get the keys & come back here so I can get my car & go home.
I also had my plastic folder (with my log sheets & lease fee for the shift) in my hand after I locked the office door, so I have it with me in my car. PS. I’m a dummy.
I always have a sleeping bag in the trunk, so I’m nice & cozy. Please wake me up when you see this.
I’m so f*cking stupid, I’m going to lay down on the back seat of the van. See you in the morning. PS. Double dummy
TL;DR: left my car keys at home halfway through my shift. Now I’m laying down in the back seat of the taxi cab van until the owner gets here.
Comments
I always keep my keys attached to my hip for this exact reason.
Why not drive the van home? Just park it outside your house and explain the situation to the owner. Then bring the van back in the morning.
Or drive the van home to pick up your car keys then drive back to pick up your car.
