my key fob missing its insides and screaming.
me looking for the insides of my key fob and screaming.
—
went to have coffee with my friend
locked up my car
put my key in my pocket
when i returned to the car
all i had left of my electronic key
was the empty screaming shell pictured above
insides were nowhere to be found
used the key/shell in the car door
and the panic button screamed nonstop
with no electronics to turn it off
until my car started
each and every time
a bit dumbfounded
as key fob was still in one piece
in my pocket
found a tiny screw missing in back
somehow it had
unscrewed itself
fallen out
opened itself up
insides popped out
closed itself back up
and was empty
like it never happened
interesting scenario
luckily i have daughters
with my keys all over the place
and my car has stopped screaming
but my old key fob still looks upset.

You are brilliant. But that key fob seems to have abilities it should not have had. Which makes the key fob…brilliant??? Or eerie??

I’m leaning towards eerie…..or you got a lemon of a fob.

Your photo and story are fobulous, Beth. I’m glad you had backup fobs in every daughter’s pocket! Otherwise you’d have to scream all the way to an expensive fobahashery.

I thought the empty fob kinda looked like Mickey Mouse 🙂 Weird that it’s guts just disappeared. I hope no one can open your car with it should they find it!

Well, you did keep your sense of humor. Seems to be a design with a single point of failure. Poorly engineered but definitely humorous.

Almost made me wanna scream when I clicked on the “Comment” buttons and kept getting a 404 message. Were you a little keyed up, too? All ended in a good groove, though?

Yikes. I had no idea such a thing could happen. Time to examine my keys very closely. I only have one backup … in a drawer … somewhere.
