AIBU to be stressed and annoyed if DH took my house keys?

[Mum18283]

I just need to vent. Think DH has accidentally taken my house keys to work so I’m stuck at home, nice plans for the day are kaput. I know he’s generally busy and on his feet so I sent him a message and called his work phone during lunch but no answer. Just feeling unable to enjoy the day and stressed, wondering if he has them which I think is most likely, or I lost them somewhere else which is obviously a big problem.

they can be used with a key OR code.

That’s nothing I took the tv remote to work once,and left my phone at home.

My husband did this. Took my car keys to work when he used my car, but also took his own car keys and both of those had our house keys. I had to ask my mother in law to borrow back our back door key for the day 🤦🏼‍♂️

@Mum18283 ohps, it's easily done.

But... every household should have an emergency key for scenarios like this! You need to make sure you get a spare house key cut ASAP.

DH took my house and car keys to London and I had to climb out of a window and walk to an Ante Natal appointment
Unsurprisingly my BP was a little high when I arrived

@Sidebeforeself @MasterBeth
technology has safely evolved beyond a key.
Google keyless front door locks and no it’s not magic or Santa.

You actually think every other property bar a flat must have a back door?

We all chuck our keys in a bowl in the hall.

Easily differentiated between & no one would take someone else's.

I have spent time hunting for my keys which I had already put in my pocket though!

I must confess that I don’t even know what this means.

When I was on mat leave, my husband would sometimes pick up my keys (bunch with house/car together) if he was moving my car.
But like you, it meant he left with my housekeys a couple of time! It was really annoying.
In the end I just made a couple more spares. Sure, we could have reminded each other, but we were both knackered and it only cost a couple of quid and was well worth it.

You were writing about them like it was a super commonplace thing that EVERYONE has and you were confused and surprised that the OP did not. They’re nowhere near common enough for that sort of reaction, surely?

I have something attached to my keys that XH hated so he never accidentally took mine. It's just something that one DC made at nursery many years ago and I like it. I also have two sets of spare keys incase I have to give one set to neighbour, friend or builder.

I've been locked out of my house only twice in my life. Once because of XH and once because of toddler. Never again.

Good call getting an airtag OP

I think the weirdest thing about this is that you only have 2 house keys.

The OPs DH took them by accident, not through laziness!

They are super common where I live, can't imagine anyone with kids/teens or a busy lifestyle relying on stupid keys. They've been around since the late 70's.
Honestly all this BS about needing a key to leave or enter the house is so controlling and limiting who in their right mind would choose to live like this?

😂😂😂😂😂😂

What happens if the internet goes down or there’s an electricity outage? Is there a non-technology way to use the lock?

No need to be snide. It was a genuine question

It'd be cheaper to buy a key safe and locate it somewhere inconspicuous.

Also spelt an air tag wouldn't help that much of he'd taken them. You still wouldn't be able to go out.

Key safes are about £20.

Also GETTING an air tag, rather. Autocorrect

Definitely get a spare cut and leave it in a drawer.

You might not have your car keys but at least you’ll be able to leave the house if needed.

You gave your interpretation, you didn’t “explain” anything. It’s thoughtless at best to see one set of keys where there should be two and take them anyway without taking the three extra seconds to check if they’re actually yours or not. I’ve never done this, or had it done to me.

Has he not returned your calls or messages and is this normal for him to out of contact like this? YANBU to be stressed and annoyed.

Well that’s me told off!

@FeralWoman they are 9V battery back up, and can be used with a key.
