I had the strangest thing happen to me yesterday. After I picked up my car after an oil change, my key ring got caught between the key and the ignition. Of course, I didn't realize this until I had decided to turn off the ignition and couldn't. So, I had a choice of cutting the ring, which didn't work or uncoiling the ring, which did work. It was odd, because I had such a small space with which to uncoil. Thank goodness it worked. But it was hell trying to uncoil that thing.
