Woman Calls Orem Police To Free Her From Her Locked Car

[tasteph]

This one is just so funny I had to share it with you all...

Automatic car features are supposed to make life easier for motorists, but they may be leaving some people without the know-how to do things the old-fashioned way. That’s what happened to a driver in Utah County who became trapped inside her own car.

A woman called Orem police Friday afternoon needing help because her battery died and she was locked inside her car.

When police arrived, they found the woman sitting in the car, unable to get herself out. She couldn’t hear the officers instructions through the rolled-up windows so she motioned to them to call her on her cell phone, according to police.

Once officers were able to talk to the woman on the phone, they were able to tell her how to manually operate the slide lock mechanism on the inside door panel to open the door and free herself.

Seriously, im terrified at human stupidity and/or ignorance some times!

Someone once said

"Stupidity should be painful". I find myself agreeing with that statement all too often.

I don't think this is that crazy at all. Especially if she is part of the Ipod generation. I am surprised she didn't consult her owners manual before calling police.

Even as I type this I find myself not wanting to believe that this is true. I would revoke her license if I could.

[lamehonda]

maybe they need to make you manually lock and unlock the doors before you get your license. I am still confused by this. Are we to assume that she had never been in the car when the doors were locked? most cars don't have those sliding deals up by the window anymore. Maybe she thought that was the only way out??

Omfg!

I have no response to this at all...mostly cause I don't know what to say except what a jacka$$!!!

[thecackster]

Wow, that is all that I can say. Seriously if I were the police I would have just left her there... If you can't get out of your own freaking car...die..

[Hungrycat7]

What I don't understand is if she tried anything!!! If you were locked in somewhere and things started getting scary wouldn't you started pushing buttons and trying to slide things over? I would be trying ANYTHING before I called anyone and made my self look like an ass!
