Here is a random hypothetical I thought of today while I was out. I was coming out of Trader Joe’s during lunch break and I dropped my car keys while taking them out of my pocket. They landed safely on the ground but about a foot and a half away from a storm drain.
I began to think “What would I have done if they’d gone down the drain??”. I could have called someone from work to come pick me up and drive me back to my office, take the train home and then come back with my spare set the next day. This would save me some cash.
OR, I could….spend about $70 in cabs to get home and back with the spare sets right then? This would save me the embarrassment of needing to be picked up after dropping my car keys into a storm drain and would also save the hassle of taking the train.
What would you do in that scenario??

I would go after the keys into the storm drain. I mean it could lead to untold treasures, ala Goonies. Noob. Save the cash otherwise.
@street3 But there is always the risk you could end up like Chester Copperpot. Damn boobie-traps.
I can’t believe I agree with Carse! C’mon, we’re the MacGyver generation. Wire 3 or 4 coat hangers together or get a handful of gum from underneath the the deli tables and a broom stick, make it an adventure! (Then post it on youtube pls…)
@_Desperado LOL! It’s my hypothetical damnit!!! You can only pick one of the two
