Ridng to work half asleep....$2.56/gal

Working at the hotel....$13.50/hr

Leaving your key in the ignition in the on position for 6.5 hours....priceless

Having a nice roomate to jump your battery...$10 for lunch

Oh yeah, like you're the first one to do that.

I can't tell you how many times I've left a key in the ignition.

Welcome to Club Bone Head!  

I've left my key in the seat lock for a whole day without even knowing it...

Hah...yeah I have left the key in the seat lock...forgot about and tore through my house looking for my key. I was so frustrated because I knew I just had it, my girlfriend about an 1 hour later walked out and saw it hanging in the seat lock, she has yet to let me live that down.

Man, I worked at a hotel for like a year and a half and never got above $8.50
Of course, it was the cheapest hole in the wall in town that catered to drug addicts and hookers... that job sucked.
Anyway I have left my key in the ignition for 4-5 days! Luckily the bike was chained to a post.

i have left it in the seat lock before.  I was at work and when i left it took me 45 mins to find the key and man was i pissed at myself when there they were dangling from my bike.  All starting at midnight cause that is what time i used to get off.  everyone has thier moments, you know the ones you don't feel like questioning why an asteroid hasn't fallen from the sky and killed you yet.

same here, i've worked @ 3 diff. hilton brand hotels and never gone above 7 a hour. wages are too low in the South. My buddy left the keys to his bike in the ignition infront of walmart one time, we had parked right upfront too.

Go to a locksmith, and get a copy of your key made. The copy will be flat enough to fit inside your wallet, out of the way, but always available as a back-up. I keep an extra key in my wallet, one wrapped in gauze inside the liner of my helmet (with a copy of my registration and proof of insurance) inside a small zip-lock bag, and one hidden on the GS itself. I can get to it quickly with a few hand tools, but odds are good no thief would ever find it if they didn't know where to look. I've done enough dumb things with keys that I NEVER want to be stranded again...

The best part is looking for it, thinking you lost it and are now totally screwed, then finding it hanging from the seat lock.

Yeah, I actually work for an AV company that is contracted by the Embassy suites. Easy work, even when they screw with the room assignments.

LOL.
