How to lose your keys in the elevator shaft…

A true story!

You're laughing now but it's not so funny when:

You come home late on a Friday night
You fall down flat on your face right in front of the elevator
(You're not wearing the most steady shoes in the world & the floor in the hall apparently is a bit wet so that might explain why you fall)
You drop everything you have in your hands
Most of it ends in the awaiting elevator

And then you're lying there and still hear your keys fall
You think "that is strange where did my keys go?"
You find out your keys are nowhere to be seen
You are facing the 3/4 cm gap between the hall & elevator and come to conclusions
Once on your feet again (sore knees!) you get frustrated
But luckily your neighbours have spare keys
Then your neighbours appear NOT home tonight
You call your sister (quite upset by now) who's in a bar with boyfriend
You call your parents, who seem to be asleep already as there's no answer
You call sister again; she & boyfriend come to pick you up half an hour later
You and sister go to parents house & sleep in her room

Next morning you can finally enter your apartment again with the spare keys your parents have and feed the cat!

Happy ending: after two phone calls a mechanic rang my bell three days later to give me back my keys that he just dug up out of the elevator shaft
Ok…now you can laugh…together with me!
