Re: 😢 Silly Old Beggar Syndrome (SOBS)🤦*♂️
A few days ago, I came out of the pet shop and just got into my car when I felt something fall lightly onto the seat between my knees.
When I looked down, it was a small, flat round battery.
My first thought was it was from the ignition key, so I took the keys back out of the ignition and looked. The battery seemed to be in a sealed unit and I couldn't see how it would have fallen out, but it worried me where it was from.
I got out the car again and tested the key to see if it locked/unlocked the doors properly, and it worked fine.
Then I started the ignition, and that worked fine, too.
Next I go back out and started feeling all down the steering column incase it was from something from under there, but again I couldn't find anything.
At this point I was getting a bit worried about driving home, so phoned a friend who told me if everything worked alright I should be ok to get home.
So off I went, but upon passing a garage nearby, I decided to stop by and ask the men there if they had any idea what had a battery like this and was it safe to continue my journey.
Three of them were standing there and they passed my keyring round, checked the ignition key, scratched their heads . . . . then suddenly burst out laughing.
A tiny torch I keep on my keyring had fallen apart and the battery had dropped out.
Boy did I feel a twit!
