Screw up Tuesday
This is my first time joining Screw up Tuesday. The lovely Bettina started Screw up Tuesday, a day to share your screw ups ( I think I could use every day of the week)
Last Wednesday, went off to the gym..as I do every day. The lockers at the gym are coin operated. You stick in your $2 (I use one of those trolley tokens from Aldi) you can then lock it and the key comes out. When you go back and unlock it, you get your $2 back. The key is pretty big and chunky, and comes on a little number tag. I am pretty bad with losing stuff. But hadn’t had an issue with it, keep it with my water and hadn’t lost it or left it behind…yet.
So I had 30mins to kill before the class started so went upstairs to the cardio equipment outside the class studio. Used the treadmill for 20mins then moved to the bike, with my key, towel and water! Put my stuff down and off I went. Few minutes in, I couldn’t see the key. Looked on the ledge on the console..nope, in the drink holders..nope. Argh, so I jump off and start looking on the floor and on the treadmill I was just on..NO. WTF..where the hell could it have gone? Another lady was watching me, and she helped me look everywhere too, under the bikes, treadmills..couldn’t find it anywhere. And you know she isn’t believing me when I say I KNOW i had it when I came up here.
So I went down stairs to see if I had left it down there..or still in the locker, if someone had handed it in..no! One of the trainers came up to help me look, again, hiked the incline up on all the treadmills to look under. Noooo, the bloody thing had vanished into thin air. Again, you know she thinks I am full of shit, and couldn’t possibly have had it only up there, and must be stupid as and lost it somewhere else..which is what I was starting to think!
The only way to get into the locker to get my stuff is to unbarrel the whole lock, and pay $30! o.O GREAT! They said they would call the maintenance guy and he would come help have another quick look under the machines and then open the lock.
Getting pretty worked up by this stage, not to mention embarrassed!..how the fark could I have lost it..I KNOW I had it up there! But every man and his dog had helped me look?
Wait 5mins for the maintenance bloke and then had to go through the whole thing again..I was here, then here..and then the fairies stole my farkin key! He tips the bike I was on to the side so we can take a good look under it…. *tink* out falls my key O.M.F.G! There was a small gap between the ledge where your suppose to stick your shit, phone, keys..you know. Obviously not gym keys, they slip through the gap to Narnia or some shit till you shake the little bastard out.
Sooo embarrassed I just wanted to get out of there, get my bag shove my stuff in and off I go. Walking down the stairs, and there is water running down my leg. Check..nope, haven’t wet my pants. I had thrown my water bottle in my bag and not closed it properly..my bag was now a swimming pool *crying* Thank god I had my phone in my hand. My poor, poor iriver how ever, he can’t swim. We have tried to revive him, but he has since passed away, he had swallowed too much water 
oh no!!!
lolol
That is so totally something I could see happening to me!! lmao

“…water running down my leg,” he he he ratflmao.
Thank you Leigh…you have no idea how much I need a good laugh today.
Are my emails going to your spam folder or are you ignoring me? Need some help with a shopping cart.

Megan from Imaginif’s last blog post..Head and shoulders, knees and vagina
I used to live in fear of this very thing happening. And I would have died of embarassment too probably. THen I decided to keep a couple of safety pins pinned somewhere to the inside of my gym bag. I would then put the key on the safety pin and pin it to an inconspicuous corner of my towel, so that I didn’t try and wipe my face or something with the key.
Once I did that no more worries about loosing keys. Yay

Sorry about your iriver
Try spraying your I-River with WD40 if you haven’t already binned it…it has worked for mobile phones that accidentally go swimming. If it’s already rooted, I figure it’s worth a go – nothing to lose!
