"Don't you see? You're just avoiding the middleman. You were gonna give her her spare keys and she was gonna give 'em to me. So all that's happening is that instead of giving them to her you're giving them to me. It's just unfortunate that when she gave you yours you didn't give her hers because then she would've given them to me. So then I would never have had to ask you for hers so I could get mine." - Jerry Seinfeld

I am convinced that *every* life situation can be covered by a Seinfeld quote!

I never watched it either. So, is that about the need to give a spare key to a neighbor/friend? I don't get it.

Sure beats getting locked out which I seem to do on a regular basis! We always had the neighbor's keys and vice versa growing up. On more than one occasion when a neighbor's alarm went off or someone accidentally dialed 911 (remember those phones with the emergency button? Kids loved those) we were able to give the keys to the police/fire dept. to keep them from breaking the door down.

Oh, and the answers to all questions can be found in a Seinfeld script...

I think someone outside of the home should have a set. Just be careful who it is.
I can't believe there aren't more people talking about the actual subject. Keys, not Seinfeld. But whatever.

Who loses keys?!?

Kathryn, I concur. :) Seinfeld is, and forever will be, genius.

You don't lose your keys -- you run outside to grab the escaping cat, or to pick up the paper, and the door shuts behind you. There you are in your slippers in the rain.
This can be eliminated by replacing all outdoor locks with keyed deadbolts, but landlords often object.

Neighbor in building whose known me since I was 4 has an extra set.
After her, my boyfriend and my cousin. Three suspects if anything should go wrong! LOL!

Having just broken my key YESTERDAY as I was locking the door, I completely empathize. Yeh, I'm now giving a set to friends a few streets away and keeping a set at work which thankfully is opens 24/7!

I lock my door from the outside, which is kind of nice, but I've locked myself out of the building before, waited in the rain until someone came home, and I didn't recognize them so they probably didn't know me either. One time, I almost left my coat at work with my keys in the pocket, one of those inter-seasonal days when you start wearing a coat but don't need it every day or even at the other end of your commute. That was on a FRIDAY, and an office I was temping at, and nobody I could get in touch with before MONDAY. I don't know anyone in my building (or even locally in general) well enough to bestow a spare key. If I left them at the office at this stage, I could go there and get them any time I like. Inconvenient, but possible, and most unlikely as I learned my lesson with the coat pocket once and for all. If I lock my office keys up, I'm similarly charmed to get them out of my office from everyone who has a key to my office. It's hardly ever worth the delay, but I'd rather get them on my way out than try to get them when I come in in the morning.
