Last weekend I stopped at a gas station on the way home from a road trip to use the restroom. I asked the clerk if I could use it and she said yes and handed me the key.

I said, thank you HELLO!!!

The key was attached to a HUGE piece of wood, reinforced by sheet metal on the back and up around the edges. It was actually chained to the piece of wood, so you would have needed tools to remove it. It also said "KEY" in large letters on the wood, in a carving that someone had obviously put some time into, as it had not come that way.

I guess they won't have any trouble accidentally losing that key.

I saw a movie once where the key was attached to an 8x8 concrete block :D

I heard about a lady (from a overall dumb family) who lost a valuable computer flash drive that was worth thousands. It turned up right by the keyboard somewhere.

You would think people would take a little more care about small-but-valuable things like this. Maybe tie a ribbon or piece of colored yarn to it.

Speaking of gas station bathrooms, one time I was going to visit a friend, and it was 3:30 in the morning on my way to the house, and I had to go to the bathroom. Unfortunately, like nothing is open at 3:30, and I finally found a Shell station that was open. I went up to the teller window for the store and asked if I could use the restroom, and the guy was like "no." I was like :hhh::nooo: "Well do you know any place I can go?" He said "Walmart." He then gave me general directions on how to get there. Walmart at 4am ftw.

Yeah that's silly when order is quite easy to achieve.
I just put everything on one place one thing on top of the other so I never lose anything. Until the maid comes ...
