Don't know that we've had a thread like this because I didn't search....

Anyway, my husband took my car to Montana. I'm flying out there tomorrow and we're driving home. This week, I had to use his car for transportation. My First World Problem is that his car needs a KEY to start it!! 😣 AND I have to use the key fob to unlock the doors!! 😣 My car has push-button start and it automatically unlocks when I get near it with the key in my purse.

And then, to make matters worse, I had to push the key fob button TWICE to unlock all four doors! UGH!

He told me he really likes driving my car. I told him not to get used to it.... [ram27bat]

Imagine what happens when the battery to the key fob dies....

Hate it when I have paper money and a credit card but the parking meter only takes coins.

Hate it when the clock with the hands on my double oven can't stay in synch with the digital clock on the microwave oven that sits above the two ovens and came with it as a set.

The power on/off button on the remote for the TV works but doesn't work for the cable box: cable company wants me to ship the b.o. remote controller back before they'll ship a replacement and I have to pay shipping. Now I hav/te to get up and push the cable box power button.

Google maps on my android loses its signal and the back-up Garmin is out of juice.

I feel your pain, some cars don't even turn on the headlights when it gets dark, you have to use a switch. 🤐

Hate it when my cell phone drops it signal, hate it even more when the data signal drops.

I drive a 1968 Ford F100. Power steering is a luxury I do NOT have. Suck it up, Buttercup.

Or it gets submerged in water. My new car is a fob only vehicle. I hate that it doesn't have a key. 🌫

Just be happy you don't have to suffer with a BMW i8:

Summary: You pull into your garage which is enclosed and attached to your house. You forget to shut the car off and your fob is still in range. Car keeps running and you get sleeepy, sleeeeepy... then never wake up again due to carbon monoxide poisoning. If I remember correctly this happened to an elderly couple last year here in MA.

My recent luxury problem. Recent (new to me) car has this plastic like skid plate thingy under the engine which is attached with like 10 Torx screws. It's supposedly there for aerodynamics or to keep road grime off the underside or something. Aerodynamics? It's a flipping Ford Focus commuter car for Christ sake not and Indy 500 car. In order to change the oil I have to take the stupid thing off too get at the drain plug and filter.

Next time I take it off, it'll probably be relegated to collecting dust and cob webs in my basement.

Good thing I don't park in the garage. Although, with all the holes in my garage, I'm not sure this would be a problem anyway.

I just about lost it yesterday morning when I had the omelet chef at The Hartford Club make me a great vegetable omelet and the server decided to pile greasy bacon from a chafing dish on top of it. (I'm a vegetarian).

Yesterday morning at breakfast, some schmoe in line ahead of me took the last of the bacon and then didn't even eat it. [ram27bat]

Ive had my new car for 5months and maybe once have I had my fob ready. Even worse when fob battery dies on keyless entry (dropped backup in hot coffee)and you have to pull the key out of its sheath.
