Absent mind!

At first I must let you know that I am working in a company where I neeed to go office at 6 in the evening and I reach home at 6 in the morning.
Today my room partner went to his relatives for some work. He did not return till my departure. We have only one key to our room and that was with me. I thought of giving it to the landlord so that he can collect it from her and get the entry.
Well, things went little messy when I didn't recive my cab on time. I made a call and that was 15 minutes late. I locked the room and went to the road to catch that cab. It was big jam on the road thus the cab took 45 minutes from then to pick me up. Well, finally I got picked up and went to office at time(somehow).
Well, at 2030 hrs my room partner gave me a call. When I saw his number on my cell, my reaction was "Oh! My Gosh". The key was in my pocket. Well, the office was around an hour of distance and at that time, no vehicle was available for me to come back home to deliver keys to him.
Now, my friend is of very good nture and he didn't yell at me at that time but I was yelling like anything on myself. how could I be so selfish that I forgot about the keys and only was looking to get into my cab to reach the office!
What a person I am? aren't I?
Should I cry?

These things do happen...I don't know how many times I've gone to the shops for something in particular & come home with everything but that item... I call it having a blonde moment & we all have them - especially if we have lot of other things on our minds as well.

Thanks for the congrats...I can't believe it's taken me so long to reach the 500 mark :p
This is true that your flat mate did suffer due to not being able to get into the apartment. These things can still be easliy done. What did your friend end up doing for the night?

Hey, that's fine, I don't always get the time to answer all of my responses on time too... Sleeping in the lobby, well, at least it was warm & safe.

None of us are perfect and it's easy to forget something like a key when you're all excited about a new job. What's the possibility of getting the key duplicated?

This description reveal many things like you really care about others, you dont want to give problem to good people like your partner and feel very sorry after making big mistake.
Yeah it was really a big mistake you made, sometime this is happened with many people due to mess up. And according me you should cry loud for putting your nice partner into trouble.
So start crying out loud.

Crying would not solve any problem. It will just release out the tension. But since this is a good lesson for you, then the next time, please duplicate the key. I mean, if that key will be lost, both of you will never get the door open unless you break the door.
So again, the very best thing to do is have that key duplicated. No more unnecessary things to happen or experience if you do this as a solution to your problem. Make life easier my friend.

Yes, I now have a duplicate key which remains with me every time and the other key remains with my friend.
Now a new friend is coming to live with us. We will have to duplicate the key again so that every one of us will have atleast one key with them, isn't it?

Just relax.
You didn't do it on purpose, it's only a mistake, happen sometimes to everyone.
Say sorry to your friend and then forget it.
One tiny mistake won't change who you are, your friend will understand that.

Oh dear! Please don’t cry sanuanu, although I know you feel like it! I did something similar years ago when I was living with my friend. We threw a party at our house and she ended up in hospital after scolding her face on a burner. The whole night was a disaster. My friend was okay but was admitted for the night and although I cleaned the house up while she was in hospital over night and removed all traces of the party I went out and took the only key with me.
A friend went to the hospital to collect and when they arrived at the house there was no sign of me or a key! Her friend had to climb through the manhole in the roof to get in.
So don’t feel bad, at least your friend was not injured, recently discharged from hospital and looking forward to a rest at home!

Hello my friend sanuanu Ji,
Ido not think 'crying' woduld help to solve your agony, it might solvea nd soothen your feelings
towards your room partner, but truth remains that you have to overcome this forgetting
nature disease and help yourself to remember. It is better to right down next day's
programme in nut-shell, revise each time and act positively. A good sense of duty mindness
would give you better results and ultimately a good satisfaction. Carelessness should
never come on your ways.
May God bless You and have a great time.

hello sanuanu!!! how are you? Nice to see you after long time in mylot...
And about the incident, I have to say it happens. Than can happen even to very very selfless person. So, the thing that happened doesn't mean that you are selfish. It's just that you forgot the thing. Don't take it as too big thing. We are human beings and we are not perfect. Mistakes happen though we don't intend to do it, and that is inevitable. Something that has already happened cannot be remade. It is good to realize the mistake and determine not to repeat that mistake again but it is bad to just keep regretting blaming oneself on and on. You have learnt the lesson, then its finish, next time you won't do it again. Its finish then...
Your friends seem to very nice that he didn't yell. I wonder where did he stay the whole night them. I hope your friend also understood that sometimes such things inevitably happens...
happy mylotting and have nice days....

No, you shouldn't cry. We all have bad days like this. I'm just glad that your roommate is good natured. I don't like to be yelled at, myself. Is it possible youall can have two keys made so there be one for each of you? That way, maybe this won't happen again.
It sounds like you work long hours and I guess you were very tired! I know I tend to make mistakes like this when I'm really tired.
I've locked myself out of the house I don't know how many times. I have also locked my keys in the car so I know exactly how you feel. I now have an extra set for both the car and the house. That solved that problem. Kathy.

Ah, you are allowed to have fun on this. Even I have laughed at my friend when he caleld me that night and asking, If I had left the key to the neighbour person.
He was worried but when I told him that he is not going to get a sleep in the lobby, then he was relived.
