Just to piggyback on Morningstar's amazing post:
I've done the same. Big shop, walk to car, "Oh fuck the fob is dead again".
Put the groceries on the roof, and am fumbling with the fucking impossibility of removing the physical key. Some dude walks up and asks me how my day is going, and if I need help.
I just assume he's either a clipboard solicitor or a homeless dude, so I'm in full ignore mode while standing on the front tire, reaching across the hood, hoping to get the fob close enough to the ignition through the windshield to unlock the doors.
And then I hear the doors unlock, and remember that I parked in the side lot. He knew what was going on and a good laugh was had.
Experiencing that high? I probably would have told him to keep the groceries before running into the nearest oncoming bus, suicide out of total embarrassment.
