The Key to My Car

I was having trouble unlocking my car with my remote last week so I decided to just stop using it for fear of setting off my own alarm and looking like a thief again.  Since I’ve done that, there is an actual possibility that I could lock my keys in the car.  I wanted to prevent this from ever happening so I decided that I would always lock my car with my key.  Funny thing is, you can’t do that!!  I cannot lock my car with my key.  Odd, I know.  Maybe I’m just an idiot.  You can only unlock the car with the key.  Last  night, I also found out that you can only unlock the car from the driver side door!  I left something in my car last night so I went back out to get it and figured I could reach it better from the passenger side.  It doesn’t work!  It doesn’t unlock!  Weird.  So weird.  I must try it all once again when I have some time.  It can’t really be designed like that, can it?
