Today, I returned from a week long vacation in Aruba. After 10 hours of travel and 3 flights, I was walking to my car at the airport, excited to finally get home, only to realize I left my car keys, apartment keys, and work keys at the resort. FML
kaleemuller tells us more.
Just to clear this up, my keys were in the safe, so was my passport, however so were the things of 6 other people. I was the first person to leave and when I asked them to hand me my passport out of the safe when I left, completely forgetting I had put anything else in the safe. I arrived at the airport at midnight and was unable to get into my apartment until the next day where I did have a spare set of car and apartment keys. The resort did mail my keys to me a few days later and now I have them. Yes, I learned my lesson and in the future will be triple checking things myself!

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.

I'm sorry but I feel as if I have no choice but to say you deserve it. I triple check things like that when I'm only half an hour from home

Well..At least you have an excuse to go back now. Extended holiday win. But seriously good luck getting through any doors in the immediate future.

A 20 hour round trip for a week's holiday?!

a tip whenever traveling is to always triple check everything, especially things as important as all your keys. main important things that you really have no use for while on vacation should be kept in a safe and secure location with the rest of your luggage to avoid forgetting it. FYL though, we all make mistakes.

Here are your solutions to all three problems: 1) Rock + Car Window + Hot Wiring 2) Rock + Apartment Window + Carefully climbing in 3) Rock + Work Place Window + Looking for a new job

This is why I hate traveling. Even if I don't forget something, I still feel like I did.

How could you not remember to have your wallet on you? Didn't you have to pay for a taxi to/from the airport or even eat food or buy food at the airport while you waited?

OP is only missing keys, not wallet, & there's no mention of how she got home from the airport either way. Story ends at airport carpark upon discovery of lost keys because she drove herself to the airport.

You brang your work keys to a remote vacation. Do I need to say more?

What's more surprising to me is that you don't have a spare of each key or at least your apartment and car key.

I do, but they were in my apartment. Getting home from the airport and let into the apartment at midnight was the challenge.
