I won't mention any as you all have eyes and I'd get banned, but for the love of god, is it lockdown? Full moon? What's going on? Grin

You’re not wrong. Does seem more batshit than usual Grin

Meowchickameowmeow · 12/02/2021 16:23

Isn't the batshittery what we're all living for right now?

UserID779 · 12/02/2021 16:25

I love a batshit thread. Can you point me in the direction of some.

LunaHeather · 12/02/2021 16:26

It's not full moon.

Tbh I don't understand the car key one but obviously didn't post. I didn't know keys had become entities in themselves. So the key needs to go into the ignition but the car knows the key is in the car? I don't get it.

Hardhatsafelyon · 12/02/2021 16:26

Full moon. Definitely full moon.

rawalpindithelabrador · 12/02/2021 16:26

Food threads on MN are always totally batshit.

Howzaboutye · 12/02/2021 16:28

It's a new moon actually in the UK at the moment. Maybe even madder than full moon?

Key fuckers are very needy

The cat shouts when the key goes wandering out of the car and even when the battery is low

Attention seeking thing 😅

Oldraver · 12/02/2021 16:31

The car shouts bah

LunaHeather · 12/02/2021 16:34

The key doesn’t need to go in the ignition. As long as the key is in the car then you just need to press the start button.

So called comfort access. The key signals the car via Bluetooth or something like it. So as long as it is within range the car will open and start. It will let you drive a couple of meters before the car will tell you the key is not inside - if it’s hanging from the front door etc.
Not entirely sure why it’s a thing but it is.

I'm still reeling over the poster, who has had the same issue for years about a 'partner' , keeps posting, keeps getting the same, almost unanimous replies every time but just keeps going.

That could be anyone 😂
StarsAndsunbeams · 12/02/2021 17:05

Yep. I started one. It's REALLY helpful to know I'm not alone and not going mad.

LunaHeather · 12/02/2021 17:42

Forgive me, I've just had my mother on the phone for an hour so my brain is ...the way it is after your mum's been on the phone an hour.

So these car keys.....genuinely, what is the point of them, how are they marketed? What is it all for? Why don't people favour a key that opens and starts your car?

LunaHeather · 12/02/2021 17:43

PS if anyone is as bored as I am, the crazy threads are in Chat and Legal Matters too.

1Morewineplease · 12/02/2021 17:45
