A Rant Unrelated to the SD or any Dopers.

meg, which made you more angry, the fact that he took your keys or the fact that he wasn’t concerned about you being stranded?

I just know that I would feel like a big pile of crap if I did that to anyone, never mind my fiancee!

If he was like, “Whatever” about it…

No wonder you’re mad.

Kick 'im in the head, with my blessings.


Men are from Mars, women are from Venus, dogs are from Pluto.

Here’s some more sympathy for you! If you still want revenge–before his next trip you might take his toothbrush and clean the toilet with it :slight_smile:
Just make sure he won’t be kissing you for a few days!

How similar are the keys? By “your” keys, do you mean keys that are unique to you, or keys that you normally use? Byzantine’s suggestion is good. Or just use a very “feminine” key ring with flowers or something on it that he’d be embarrased to carry around.

OK - update. We had a nice, loooong talk that evening. Everything’s gonna be ok. Our respective keychains are similar in appearance, and it’s not the end of the world.

Last night he used my toothbrush because he couldn’t find his. His toothbrush was later discovered in the kitchen. sigh


Sucks to your assmar.

I’m still waiting for you to answer Coldfire’s question.


Uke

Ditto.

Everything else is beside the point.

He’d be a fool to piss off anybody with a sig line that cool.

Hey, Brookstone sells a locking gas cap that has a place to keep extra keys. That’s where you need to keep your emergency keys. Or, if you have a garage, just toss your keys on the dashboard when you get home.
If he seems to be swiping or breaking your stuff and is unapologetic, ditch him quick.
Maybe he wants you to stay home and be June Cleaver?


John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt. That’s my name too.
Wait, no it isn’t.

I know it’s a moot point now, but if it happens again you might just call a locksmith and charge it to his Visa card. Or take a taxi, his treat. Or call him at work and make him come back with the keys. Or secretly hook them up to an electric fence box at night.

Melin:

Try this; don’t clean up, just rearrange. Make notes on your secret clipboard. Think of it as domestic judo.

I highly recommend making a secret set of keys ( door and ignition house) and putting them in your wallet. If you are afraid that if you lose your wallet that some robber will break into your house, put a little tag on the keys saying, " Keys to the Pinto" on it.

Reguardless of how far away the guy worked, or his job, he would be bringing the keys back. He’d find the house door key didn’t work, if he didn’t.

LISTEN UP WOMAN!!!

If it wasn’t your fiance taking your keys, it would be something else. Like they fell down the couch or you left them in some other clothes. It happens to all of us. I am just as guilty and absent minded.

Do you have spare keys. Assuming you don’t have a brand new car (those computer chip keys cost some money-if this is you disregard the rest). I keep a spare key at my house, nailed to the wall in the pantry. If I lock my keys in my truck, and I do sometimes, I have a key hiding in the engine. Sure I have to get under the car to get it, but I still drive.

So quit blaming YOUR PROBLEMS on others and take action yourself. Make your fiance take you out to a nice restaraunt and drink margaritas till your silly and he’s broke. And get some spare keys.

He didn’t clean off the dishes from the night before?
