Call a friend and have them put a tarp over the car. Or have them use a spare key. There's more then one option sometimes.
You're missing the point. It's one thing to say that you should always explore your options, but the fact remains that once you have exhausted your options, that's it. There's nothing you can do to affect whether you get what you want; at some point, you just have to wait and see.There is definitely a lot more that you can do in almost every situation, then you may realize. Sitting back, and wondering if you can do something without action is what leads to unhappy results; that you never bothered to prevent. Those who get what they want aren't the ones who sit there and let "chance" provide them their answer. The ones who complain and speak up are the ones who getting what they want.
Making yourself sick with anxiety over something you absolutely cannot influence is a recipe for unhappiness.
I'm not annoyed at all and I'm glad it's helped. Seeking reassurance is fine, but anxiety-driven requests for more and more responses when there's a wealth of information already available becomes a little worrisome.I disagree though. I was fairly worried (obviously) when I made this thread, and I'm now much more relaxed about how my laptop will come out. So while you and others choose to read this thread and be annoyed by it, it has actually helped me.
