I don't think any of our kids have opened a car door with the key. Let me go ask my 19 year old step daughter what she would do if she got the key fob wet.

She knew she could use her key.

You can't unlock my Focus with the key - it sets the alarm off! Ridiculous.

A lady at the local grocery store locked herself out of her car. A middle school boy unlocked it for her. He pried open the upper back corner of the driver's door just a little bit, inserted a small deflated football into the space and started pumping it up until it pushed out the corner of the door enough to push a stick through the opening and punch the door lock button on the inside of the door. The old lady give the boy a hug, a kiss and a couple of twenty dollar bills. Smart kid.

Same here but if you put the key in the ignition and start the car it shuts off.
also the keyless wont unlock a door if the key is in the car..
aka you left it running for elderly passenger.
had to have my 88 year old grandma reach over and unlock the back door so I could jump over the seat and unlock the front door. (now I just carry 2 keys)
This was back when she just gave up driving and wanted to get out.. So I towed her around with me on some errands(she stayed in car).
Oh and we had swenson's drive-in
Recommended if you ever visit northeast ohio.

At least her car had that option. If it were our C300, you could have used a "hard key" to open the door, but you can't use a "hard key" to start the car - there is nowhere to put it.

Obligatory woman driver comment.
When I worked at Radio Shack many moons ago, people would come into our store looking all frantic, because their key fobs wouldn't work and they couldn't get into their car after returning from another store in the same plaza. Sure, we'd sell them a new battery, and they would act like we are their savior because they really had no idea how to get into their car without a working remote.
During the great blackout of 2003, I knew people who made it out to be that 6 hours with no power was like 6 days. They were astounded that I could open my garage door by pulling the rope, cooked my dinner after lighting the gas stove with a match, kept light with battery powered lights and oil lamps, and listened to the local news on the battery powered radio. Still others had no idea how to stay entertained because they had no TV or internet. Me? I read a book. When it got dark, I got my telescope out and enjoyed a rare opportunity of using it without noise pollution. They looked at me like I was nuts.

I asked her, is the steering wheel locked too? Yes, came the reply (panick in her voice at this time). I just said, calm down, take a breath and follow my instructions. I then instructed her to turn the key in the ignition at the same time as you turn the steering wheel with her other hand.
Then I heard the dings and bells go off as her vehicle started. She then sounded relieved and I just said, see you in a few
hehe this was fun....
can be used as a trick to troll people who dont know about this
Lol - i saw this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkCGNzTGkuk

Even in this case i feel I'm ahead. I have a story to tell, and I kind of amused me laying in bed last night, to trying and imagine her frame of mind.
ie. Did she feel humiliated? (I did try NOT to make her feel so)
Would she have acted different if I was another woman?
Did she just think " I gotta get out of here before the tow truck comes"?
People can be entertaining.
