Funny Story!

Yesterday after work I stopped at Albertsons to look around and pick up some things I had been meaning to buy. I knew I would be in the store for less then five minutes so the only thing I grabbed happened to be my car keys, and debit card. I decided that before I bought things I would go to the bathroom, instead of having to carry things to the restroom with me. I walk back to the restrooms and the girls toilet is broken, so I peak in the guys bathroom and realize it had just been cleaned and since it was a one person bathroom I decided to use the mens bathroom this time.

When I went to wash my hands I grabbed my keys off of the toilet paper dispenser, and my hand hit my hip and I dropped my keys. Thinking "keys would never flush down the toilet" my reflexes were a little slower then they should have been and by the time I looked down my keys had completely flushed down the toilet. Having no clue what to do whatsoever I washed my hands and then went to a worker who was right outside of the restroom and told her what had just happened.

She used a metal stick thing to try and grab my keys from the drain, with no success... they were a gonner! At this point I start to realize `1. my keys just flushed down the toilet 2. I do not have a cell phone and 3. I am stuck in Alberstons because I just lost my keys to the toilet... now I start to really wonder what would happen next.

Luckily the employee I talked to let me use her cell phone and I called the only three numbers I have memorized 1. My mom who has a spare key (called six times, no answer. Later found out she was not home) 2. AnTjuan who has a spare key (called five times, no answer. Later found out he was still at work) and then 3. Arlyn (who does not have a spare key) and like a good best friend Arlyn answered on the first attempt.

She came and picked me up from the grocery store and I spent the thirty minutes waiting for her just buying the things I had originally planned to buy, Better solution then having my keys be lost for nothing.

After a big ordeal of going to my salon to get a new salon key, driving home for my moms spare key, and then driving back to scottsdale I got into my car a few hours later. Sadly, the one souvenear I bought myself (a sheep key chain from New Zealand) was lost in this entire delimna. Now my key ring only has two keys on it 1. My car key 2. My work key.

Morol of the story tonight is, yes keys can 100% flush down a toilet, so be cautious when in restrooms from now on!
