I pulled a fairly typical "Dan move" last week. I went to a lake about 45 mins from here with some friends on Saturday, and I think I dropped my keys in the lake. We came in two cars, and when we were leaving, they dropped me off at my car and left, so I was stuck there. I eventually was able to borrow someone's phone and call and they came back and picked me up.
I got rides to work and service the next couple days, got a key made at the dealership, and got a ride to my car. The public dock I was parked at didn't allow overnight parking, so I had two tickets for $72 each on the windshield. In addition, my registration was expired, so I had another ticket for $176. I'm going to try and fight the first two due to the extenuating circumstances, but the third one is just my own stupidity.
Also, a couple weeks ago, I heard a loud electrical pop, followed by a puff of smoke, when starting my car. The power-steering has gradually stopped functioning since then. Lovely.
