@Ailyn Evensen@Pudding@shylarahPoor Shoey has the worst luck, I hope he's okay.
You've really got no fucking idea. xD
Anyway, I'm obviously back now. We went and got the back-up key from the real estate, bringing it back home and getting into my place before all my food went bad (it was all sitting at the door so I could go out and deal with finding the key). We're planning to get a key cut from it before giving it back to the real estate, but this cut key will actually be a new spare... because... guess what? We found the original key.

Where was it' you ask? Well, I'd
tell you, but then I'd have to
KILL you!
No, seriously, I'll tell you... You aren't gonna believe this shit though -- my luck is so bad it
defies fucking probability.
It was sitting in the middle of all my fucking chips and gravy. Before you ask,
no I hadn't opened up the container - which had the chips and gravy inside of it - yet! Somehow, my key managed to fall out of my shirt pocket when I leaned forward (we already thought this might have happened, so that's not the weird part), then it fell into one of my grocery bags, slipped into the (mostly closed) paper bag that was holding the container, then it also slipped into a tiny slit in the container that's
basically the same size as the fucking key, subsequently getting squished in with all of the chips and gravy as I walked home. Am I making this up? No,
I'm not fucking making this up! My sister's boyfriend is as mind-boggled about it as I am, since we saw it together and I pulled it out before thinking about taking a photo. My luck seriously is so bad it can defy the laws of physics and reality.
