Showerthought: That time I got locked out of my car at a gas station in Tucson changed how I do road trips

I was fueling up at a Circle K off I-10 in Tucson about 6 months ago and left my keys on the passenger seat while I swiped my card. The door auto-locked and I stood there for 20 minutes waiting for roadside to show up. Now I always keep a spare key in my wallet. Has anyone else had a dumb lockout moment that made you change a habit?

Realized most of life's disasters come from a single moment of not paying attention.

That line about "a single moment of not paying attention" really hit me. I dropped a glass bottle of olive oil last week just because I was looking at my phone while walking into the kitchen... shattered everywhere, took me an hour to clean up the tiny pieces I kept finding in my socks for days. But then I think about my buddy who wrecked his car last year because he glanced at a text for one second and rear-ended someone at a red light. It's wild how these tiny windows of distraction can just flip your whole day upside down without any warning.
