She phoned 911, cause she locked herself inside her car.:smack:
Org.
Florida is full of morons.
Please, there is no comparison between this woman and Peter Griffin. When Peter locked himself inside his car, he didn’t call 911: he tried to get out by himself. 
They played the 911 call on the radio this morning. Contrary to the quote in the article, after she pulled up the lock she said “OK, I’ve got that working now…”, as if the 911 operator was Macgyver talking her through the dismantling of a bomb in the dark belly of a 747, or something. The morning show monkeys had a field day with it.
My mother in law locked herself in the car once. Fortunately, she phoned my husband, not the cops.
I locked myself in the car once. Luckily, I was able to call my wife on the cell phone, and she came to my rescue with a coat hanger.
Lucky she got the door open when she did. It was fixin’ to rain, and being as she was in a convertable with the top down, she might have drowned.
LMFAO 
I don’t know what else to say.
I understand she was stuck on a broken escalator for two hours just before being locked in the car.
It just wasn’t her day…
I resent that. Florida has no more morons than any other state. I think we just have more that are willing to call 911 and get the whole thing on tape.
C’mon. You know there’s no dolt like an Orlandolt.
Here’s her sign!
I think Peter Griffin actually locked his keys outside of the car, though, not locked himself inside his car…
besides, I lock myself inside my car all the time, it’s automatic, as soon as the car’s speed exceeds 5 MPH, the doors auto-lock, the difference is I know how to get out of the “locked” car and am not brain-dead stupid like the woman in the OP
Tears up Derleth’s invitation to the next OrlanDope.
At least I can wear shorts in March. Can you?
I wonder if we’ll start to see more of this? It is really dumb to not be able to figure it out to the extent that you have to call 911, but to be honest I’ve never used the non-electrical locking latch on my car. I’ll use the electronic switch to unlock all the doors to let someone else in, but if the car was dead that wouldn’t work. I’d have to do something I’ve never done before in that woman’s situation. Of course, it would be obvious to me how to do it, but extremely technologically challenged people and “something they’ve never done before” often have unfortunate results …
I’m having a bit of trouble understanding this. Every car I’ve owned with electric door locks worked the same way: You could lock yourself in, but to get out, all you had to do was open the door. You don’t have to push unlock first. Does this common safety feature stop working when the battery dies? Or am I missing something?
I can often wear them in the daytime for part of the month.
BTW, what’s a palmetto bug? We don’t seem to have anything even remotely like those Hell beasts here.
In my car, a Nissan, you have to flip open the “lock” tab before you can open the door from the inside.
She should have called Blondestar instead of 911. After all it’s always on, because you are always blonde.
I’ve actually gotten locked inside a friend’s car. He had opened the windows a crack and exited the vehicle, shutting his door. As an anti-theft protection the car prevented me from unlocking the door.
Imagine a bug that looks like a cockroach, only bigger. And if you try to squash it by stomping on it, it only laughs at you. And it flies.
