Have you ever walked out to your car in the morning and noticed that you had left your door unlocked? And as you get closer to your car you hope that everything is still where you left it?
Well this afternoon I was walking to my car and noticed the door was unlocked and wondered if everything was still in my car. Thankfully everything was still where it was supposed to be. Then I noticed something new that was not there the night before. The only scenario I can come up with is durring someones journey home from a downtown bar or a house party started to feel the final drink of the night start to come back, and as they passed my car it would stay down no longer and reached for the door handle. As the door opened the haunting shot flew out of their mouth along with what appeared to be angel hair pasta with meat sauce to find its new home in the front seat of my car.
So if you had a nice pasta dinner and a few drinks on Friday night and were not feeling well on the walk home. I would first like to ask that next time you feel like you are going to be ill you find a nice bush, and second thank you for closing the door once you finished.

Wow. And ew.
Love the Way We Love?
OP, you are very positive-minded. …or maybe just very sarcastic — hard to tell in print. Either way, people could learn from you.
I have a girl friend who came back to her car from the beach 2 summers ago, & when she got to her drivers door she seen it wasn’t locked! She was positive she locked it but her purse was under the seat, with her wallet & a few dollars in bills, her loose change & Cd’s were still on the console, everything was fine.
Except the bastard, that had opened her door had removed just 1 of her credit cards from her wallet & ran up over 2 grand on it in electronics.
She found out a couple of days later .
There’s a lot of real assholes who deserve more than a slap on the wrist in this world…unfortunately if you ever catch one & give them the beating they so deserve, you’ll be charged with assault !
If someone really wants to steal something from your car, they’ll smash out the window, that’s why I always leave my doors unlocked.
OP, Are you sure you don’t have an enemy somewhere out there? The last thing I would think to do while puking, is open someone’s car door and do it inside, most people will open the door of a car to do it outside. I think you know the puker! Think hard….someone wanted to mess with you.

deja vu anyone?

seriously….. what is the added benefit of leaving your car unlocked?!?!?!?
granted you must not leave anything in it to begin with, begging the question of why leave it unlocked when there’s nothing there for them to want in the first place?
so so confused…
I used have a canvas-top tracker–the back door didn’t come with a lock. Yet, without fail, when someone wanted to take something from the car they didn’t unsnap the canvas or open the back door, they slashed the plastic window.
I know a few people who have found strangers sleeping it off in their car (as well as the contents of their stomachs).
We tried that leaving the car door unlocked thing and woke up to one car completely engulfed in flames because when the thieves were unsuccessful in getting it running they torched in instead and all that remained was a burnt-out shell. The other car suffered exterior fire damage and showed ignition damage indicative of their futile attempts at thievery. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t lock your vehicle. Thieving arsonist bastard low-lives!
Better than finding a used condom on your back seat… Yes, it happened, car was promptly recycled, perhaps to soup cans… Campbells anyone?
“Thieving arsonist bastard low-lives!”
Why, Oceanlady, I believe you are being converted by the bad company you are keeping here at LTWWB = p
What can i say HKM? Maybe I’ve been hanging around here too long now:)
Seriously though, I am not against slamming those who have done me wrong. I just don’t believe in slamming people for their opinions. I’ll challenge the opinion if I don’t agree, but I’m not interested in trashing the opinionator. Fair play. Even at LTWWB:)
this bitch should be in the print edition
I just went and locked my doors……after the used condom comment….I had no choice.
Your other choice was Scotchgard.
I think I’d rather find the condom than a torched vehicle…disinfecting is easy…fire damage is irreversible.
Yes, but there’s insurance coverage for fire and theft. I don’t think there’s any for cleaning puke or sperm!!! Ewwwe
Where do you park? Let me know when it’s unlocked and if you have anything good in there.
Insurance provides a pittance to replace vehicles. The torched vehicle, albeit an older model, was well maintained and in good shape. It proved to be quite a challenge to find a replacement car in similar shape in the few weeks they allow with a rental with only a small insurance payout for purchasing.
