Last night, I was coming back up to my apartment after sending a few friends off. I was in the lift holding my house keys, my phone and my wallet. It was 2 am, and seriously way past my bed time so I was really sleepy. Just as I was about to step out to my floor, my set of keys fell. They didn't just fall in the lift. THEY FELL INTO THE SUPER TINY SPACE BETWEEN THE FLOOR AND THE LIFT. SO BASICALLY THEY FELL INTO THE ELEVATOR SHAFT.
I stood there looking at my keys falling down the shaft while I was just screaming, "NO NO NO NO". I heard it fall alllllll the way down there. OH YEAH. It's not just my apartment key, it was my access card and my mailbox key. THE WHOLE SET.
So I had to go back down to the reception to find the guards to help me open my apartment door. I was explaining my story to the guards and one of the started smiling. I am possibly THE FIRST IDIOT WHO DROPPED THEIR KEYS INTO THE ELEVATOR SHAFT. Anyway, one of the guards told me to talk to management in the morning.
Which was what I did this morning. I told one of the receptionist and well, basically the whole office knows my story now, the girl who dropped her whole set of keys down the elevator shaft. They made a few calls here and there and told me it would be impossible to get my keys. Which meant I had to buy a whole new set. Absolutely fantastic. It was my only option. EXCEPT IT WAS $170!
All the people I spoke to within the past 24 hours, all said it was just purely bad luck. What are the odds of your keys falling down into that tiny space. Honestly. I can't help but think how lonely my keys are without their owner. 170 dollars for a new set which looks pretty old.
So upset right now.
