Curious how this happens

[Boar]

I'm one who slips up from time to time, Ive lock my keys in the truck, which we've all done at one time or another. Ive even dropped my keys down the ice hole, which I'm sure many of us have lost something of importance down the icy depths. Me I got my keys back off the bottom by extending a magnetized tape measure down to them cause they flitterd away to side about a foot. but I got them back! at the time I was pretty nervous, with having to call the wife to bring me the spare set from 2 hours away, but I was diligent and didn't panic, I thought my way thru the situation. While contemplating how to get the keys off the bottom, I thought maybe I should call the police and maybe they could open my trunk and the keys would be in there, but that would be silly cause my truck dose not have a trunk and a trunk would be really silly place to to keep a set of keys RIGHT!. but there are those that seem to have the ability or should I say intellect of the shallow gene pool to believe that a trunk is a great place to leave a set of keys. Especially if you need to use the vehicle soon. I'm sure that this same person thinks that he/she should have a wire hangar in the glove compartment in case he looks his keys inside the vehicle.
   So how dose one lock his keys in the trunk of his/her vehicle? this question I ask of you goods sirs and madams, cause I am very curious of this behavior and what could possibly lead up to such a state numbness. Dose one think that, "ill be right back for the rest of the groceries and I will place my keys right here cause I would never think of shutting the trunk on them" Or is one playing out a mob scene in some kinda fantasy realm were he is some gansta mob boss hiding the body and pitching the keys inside so it cant be opened with destroying the lock? and realize that this is reality and would be a foolish thing to do, but its to late. the thing that comes to my mind more than anything else is, how dose one go about telling his/her significant other that they just locked the keys in the trunk? I ask this of my fellow members. what do you think? how dose one lock his keys in the trunk? Please post any ideas on this matter. Cause I am at a loss of how and why. Please help contemplate this.

I have NO idea how that can happen

Well a non union employee might have so many things on his mind and had to take work home that I can see it happening. Getting some groceries for the wife that you never wanted to stopfor in the first place.     an even bigger question is how does said individual let his buddies find out?

  I gave NO idea what you guys are talking about!

Watched this very phenomenon occur right before my eyes one morning several years ago. A guy who lived at our place for one summer and was known for his bizarre behavior was getting ready to leave one morning. He's the same guy who lost a chicken in our house which we never did find but I digress. Finishing up chores I saw him close the trunk, then a couple minutes later start frantically circling the car, opening and closing the doors, scratching his head then repeating said behavior. When I was done chores, I went over and asked him what the problem was. He responded that he'd locked the keys in the trunk. He'd laid them on his duffel bag and went back to the house to get something, then closed the trunk lid by mistake. I surveyed the situation, got some tools and had the backseat out in a couple minutes flat. He was totally amazed. I was amazed he couldn't figure that out for himself! BTW, I try to know where my spare set of keys is at all times. Usually on me because more than once I've locked the main set in the vehicle!

That's understandable LL, a very common occurrence, out of site out of mind, but the locking the keys in the trunk, I really think said individual finally succumbed to the realization that he/she is not successful at hunting or fishing, put all his/her gear in the trunk and thought, I give up, I don't want any temptation and threw the key in there with the gear and shut the trunk, never to be tempted to unlock it and head afield again to such failure.

Well I see the red lake falls comedian strikes again!😂

Boar- now I'm feeling your vibe on this.  Sometimes quitting is the best option.  It's one thing when your "friends" call you a fool in the outdoors but when you're alone just with your thoughts and you start thinking it yourself it's keys in the trunk time for sure.  Maybe it was finally catching a walleye and dropping it overboard when removing the hook.  Could have been knowing your deer hunting peaked...last year.  Could be the inability to start a camp fire and having to call the wife in to get it lit without using gas.  Theres a myriad of possibilities for those struck with OIS, Outdoor Incompetency Syndrome. 

OIC is cherished in California areas and Manhattan but a terrible disease to have in Minnesota.  I've heard there is one cure and it involves keys and your trunk.

LMAO! yes OIS has plauged a member here, but hes in deniel publicly, he thinks he has whatit takes, but in reality knows that he must quit, throwing the keys in the trunk, is the same as throwing in the towel
