You just have to wonder at some people.

This couple were locked in their "keyless" car because they didn't have the responder - and didn't manage to figure out you could unlock the door using the door handle ... really?

Very often the sentence is the same anyway...

They are to stupid to be able to get out of their car but have a drivers licence

**Big Dog** · 19th December 2014, 14:04

That would have won them a Darwin Award for sure.

Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.

Lets just say its lucky they don't ride motorcycles. Although perhaps they wouldn't have been able to get the garage door to open.

My mum spoke to me about the article, effectively bemoaning all these "mod cons" that make things supposedly easier (yet harder for some obviously). Thankfully we spoke over the phone so she didn't see me rolling my eyes theatrically (hopefully she didn't hear the snort of derision that went with it...)
