Me once, over a decade ago while launching a boat a public boat launch.

Jumped out of the cab to let the forward tie strap loose from the eye and the door swung shut on me.

I (fortunately) had someone I knew at the launch take me home and I picked up the spare set of keys he brought me back to the launch and I unlocked the door.

Now I always roll down a window while getting hooked to/unhooking from any trailer or launching or picking a boat up.

Only females lock themselves out of running vehicles.

Did it once about 10 years ago.

One of those things that when it happened once, I almost did it 4 or 5 more times after that in a 2 month period.

Weird how things happen that way.

forever ago when i was a student walking by union (Towe and south campus), guy and a girl at the stop sign, they get out to chnage places and the doors locked when the closed.

so they were locked out of a running car at a really busy intersection at a class change time

My dog did this during a hurricane. I think it was Gustav. On star does not work with hurricane type cloud cover. Also I was about 8 months pregnant. The locksmith took about 4 hours to show.

Yes, but it was because my stupid dog stepped up to look at me through the window and engaged the lock. Wife called OnStar and after some yelling, they opened it for me.

Same when that dog is inside.

Yes, we left the truck running with the dogs inside.
The little dog climbs into the driver's area and steps on the lock button.

Had to call OnStar.

No but one time I rented a jet ski and fell off and the emergency stop cord came off but the jet ski didn't stop. Damn thing was ghost riding. Handle bars eventually turned and it just started going in circles and I swam to it.

I was probably 15 or so and just thinking my dad is going to kill me if he has to pay for this thing if it just keeps going.

My sister was a freshman at SJA when my dad let her drive to school one morning (she had her learner's permit). Well, they get to the single lane drop off area, her and my dad both get out and somehow she hit the lock button. He was cussing in front of the nuns for a good half hour before my mom got there with his spare key


Of course none of the other parents could get around him to drop their kids off so they weren't happy either.

Just like this truck (an '03) and the power lock switch was on the door armrest where I accidentally hit it trying to catch the door from shutting.



It's funny now.

No, I drive a ford. I leave them running and lock the doors everywhere I go. Punch in the code and I'm good.

Back in college it happened to me with a cat I had adopted a couple weeks before in the truck.

Pretty sure it was no accident.
