Blondes and Automobiles

The following is a transcription from a real live conversation that took place today, November 8, 2007 at approximately 2:13pm:

ME: Hello?
Adri: hey dave, I think I'm locked in my car...
ME: Huh?
Adri: I just had the battery replaced at autozone
ME: OK...
Adri: and I drove the car back to work, parked in the parking garage and now I can't get out
ME: Are you serious? Quit messing around
Adri: I really can't get out... what should I do?
ME: stick the key in, start the car, use the keyless entry button, roll down the window
Adri: nothing works
ME: put the car in ACC mode, does anything come on?
Adri: No. and I have to pee!
ME: call the autozone guy and tell him what's wrong... [me thinks: there's no way I'm driving all the way up there]
Adri: Will you google the number? oh wait, I have it on the receipt.
Adri: Dave, I really have to pee and I'm starting to freak out...
ME: I can't believe you are locked in your car. I guess the battery came loose and the alarm is triggered or something
Adri: I just called my boss and told him I'm stuck in the car and he's like "you're locked out?" and I had to tell him that I was LOCKED IN!
ME: did he believe you?
Adri: He said he would send a search party if he didn't hear from me in 20 minutes.
ME: Haha, it won't be hard to find you if you are actually locked IN your car!
Adri: OK, let me call autozone, I'll call you back.
ME: Good luck!

[approximately 25 minutes pass]

ME: hello?
Adri: I'm so embarrassed!!
ME: What happened?
Adri: The autozone guy drove out here, knocked on the window and told me to unlock the window. I pushed all the buttons, banged the steering wheel and threw up my arms...
ME: ok...
Adri: He told me to manually move the unlock lever and not push the electronic button. I did and the car opened.
ME: HAHHAahhaHAHhahahHAhaaaahHAHHA... so you spent 25 minutes, locked inside your car in the parking lot of your work? hahahahaaaa!!!
