DH goes to school about 30 minutes from where we live. He drives to campus, parks in the outlying (far-away) lots, and rides his bike around campus.
Today he called me all upset to say that I had taken his keys, and his bike is chained up and he can't unlock the chain because the key is on his key ring. I offered to drive over on my lunch to switch keys, but he said no, he could manage, the bike would be ok over night, he will just walk to his car tonight... (deep sigh).
I just realized he left before me this morning. I picked up the only set of keys on the table where we both keep ours. He took my keys, I didn't take his.
It would be wrong of me to call just to tell him that, wouldn't it?
Ya probably. But I'd probably tell him tonight like "You took my keys so make sure you're careful so you're not in that situation again" or "Do you want me grab a special keychain so you don't grab my keys when you leave". I'd totally rub it in somehow but that's how DH & I roll.
He only called you to complain - as he wasn't looking to take you up on your offer to swing by.
But yeah, I would wait and tease him about it nicely tonight. Or text him.
I wouldn't approach it with anger, though. You'll gain nothing from that. But giving him the facts may diffuse his anger now, and in the future. And it will make him think again before calling you simply to complain.
Nah, I'm joking. I think he called me as soon as he figured out he couldn't unlock his bike, then realized he was panicking for nothing and it would be ok. It does suck for him because he will have to walk a mile at 8:00 at night, but if it wasn't safe I would have taken him the keys.
I would mention it tonight & then get an identifiable key chain so it doesn't happen again.
And our key rings are pretty different, so I think he didn't even look, just grabbed. He drops of DS in the morning, so he was trying to get him out the door at the same time. It is a bit rushed some mornings.
