Yeah, I vaguely remember the older type doors. What I do remember is after they changed, it was real common for folks to lock their keys in the car.
I do know that that type door was the cause for me to put my hand down a male strangers front pants pocket.
First and last time.
Told this story here before.
Standing in my apartment parking lot one morning about to go up to my apartment. Suddenly I heard a man screaming. Looked across the way, and a guy was standing next to his car, facing it and screaming at the top of his lungs.
I ran over, and he had gotten distracted as he closed the driver door. Just as he slammed it, he realized he needed something out of the car, and tried to stop the door from closing.
Stuck his hand in there, and it slammed closed and locked! I think it was only on the first latch, but it was latched.
I tried to open it, and it was locked.
Of course, the key was in the front pocket that he could not reach easily with the other hand.
I actually did not think about it until later. Got the key, unlocked the door, and drove him to the doctor. I got a friend to come get me and drive me back.
I don't think I ever saw him again. Good thing, not sure we could have looked each other in the eye........
