How you know it's been a long day
After a standard, uneventful 56 minute commute - which you do not remember - you pull into your driveway.
You follow your SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) and turn off the heat, the radio, the nextel, the cell phone.
You open your car door, press "lock" on the door, get out. You shut the door.
Then you realize that you didn't turn off the car.

My turn to laugh!
Although, I'm really sorry it had to be at your expense.
AAA?
OUCH!
Was Chachi home? Does he have a key?
We keep a spare key in our file cabinet, and we don't lock the inside door from the garage, so I would have at least been able to get the spare key out....
I locked Hannah in the car one afternoon, in Georgia...luckily it was spring and not too hot (no garage). The next day, I loaded her into the car, and ran back into the house to get something (leaving the keys on the seat)...and I heard the door lock itself. Hannah was in her carseat, in the middle....turns out, when they came to unlock my car the day before, they broke the lock. LUCKILY, that time, I was in the house and had a phone AND the spare key (which I had to search for, but still....)
Drive for six hours, stop to get something to eat, and realize you have locked the keys in the car. Been there, done that.
eh- it'll run out of gas eventually.

Now that's what happens when your autopilot is on autopilot.
AND you left the cell phone on the seat...
I get the Groundhog Day Syndrome all the time, shiot like that happens over and over and over.........
That is an odd thing to forget to do while operating on "auto-pilot", Renn. I hope that isn't turning into a new habit for you...
I DO hope you had another set of keys in the house....LOL
Oh my - I can only laugh after having done the same thing more times than I care to remember.
