Do not know where to post this, but I am desperate. Non photo question. Bought a new iPhone XR on monday and on tues I was trying things out. I have been locked out of Facebook/messenger on the phone and Facebook on my iPad. Facebook said I signed in on a device they didn’t recognize. Have tried resetting password numerous times and the passwords they send and the codes do not work. I get an error message. Cannot locate a working phone number nor an email address. Can anyone please help. I am desperate to retrieve my “saved” info. Beagle mom AKA Vicki

Funny. I came upon a friend of mine once lying under his 2-ton truck hammering on one of the back wheels. I asked what was wrong and he said the parking brake was stuck. I asked if I could help in any way. He told me to pump the brake peddle while he hammered and see if that does it. I got in pumping the brake peddle looked down at the parking brake release, pulled it. Problem solved! He asked, what I did. I told him and his comment was; "Of all the people to come by!" He knew this would be told on him down thru the ages!

I had just purchased a new car before taking a trip to Europe. While I was there my wife told me in one of our nightly conversations that my car battery must have died because the car would not start. I did not tell her that you had to put the clutch in on this car before it would start. I just told her to leave it until I got home and I would take care of it. When I got home I went out and started the car and went for a drive. When I got back home my wife asked me what I had done to get it started. I told her I had used a can of instant start. ;-)

I have, on occasion, turned off my car while still in gear only to have warning buzzers and not be able to remove the key. Must be the "X" of my "XY" genes.

I don't know anyone man or women who hasn't done something during their life time that later they say I can't believe I did that.

Absolutely.

Well I guess I'll pipe in. Checking out of hotel to make it to a track meet to photograph the races. Haul down some stuff to put in trunk. Apparently the key bob was in my hand so it gets locked in trunk. Call Toyota dealership no one there yet. Call locksmiths no one there yet either. I'm going ballistic wondering why the heck Toyota would do that. Go back to the room say a prayer walk back out to car feel above the license plate and there is a little button you push and pop the trunk opens! I take back all the trash talk I was saying about Toyota and drive to the track meet.

OK here's mine. I went to the car to put the bags in the trunk. Opened the trunk without unlocking the car and put the bags in. I was holding the fop between my teeth to free up my hands and I didn't have any pockets after all what could possibly happen. Just as I push the trunk down, I sneezed and the key went into the trunk just as it closed. Guess what, Corvettes don't have external releases

Almost my exact feelings on the topic.

I worked in housing maintenance at a large military base. I got a call from the dispatcher one evening saying the Admiral called to say he couldn't get the oven door open on the stove and their dinner was burning. I arrived at their residence and noticed the lock lever on the oven door was in the locked position. I grabbed the lever and flipped it to the unlocked position and opened the door. The Admiral was standing behind me when I did that and he said, "If I didn't see that I wouldn't believe it". I gave him some quick instructions on self-cleaning ovens.

Apparently she was unfamiliar with driving a manual transmission because every one I've had since I began driving in the early 1970's, you had the push in the clutch to start the engine.

Now if I tell some of my wife’s stories it would be more of the same.
I don’t know if the 2 sexes approach issues the same way. Nuff said.

I had a nearly identical experience a few years ago. I let my now ex-wife take my truck to a job about 15 minutes out f this small town. A few hours later, she called complaining my ever-dependable truck wouldn't start, just wouldn't turn over. I hopped in her car and drove out, thinking it must be a dead battery, that she probably left the headlights on or something.

Got out there and had her crank it -- nothing, as she had said. Headlights were pretty bright when I had her turn them on, though. Checked the cables and they looked good -- tight, not corroded, etc. Slapped on the jumpers for grins & giggles and still nothing (I had a car once that cranked just barely perceptibly slowly the last time it started then had a completely dead battery after driving it ten minutes, so stranger things have happened). At this point I'm thinking it's the starter or solenoid, so I was about to call AAA. As I disconnected the battery cables, I hollered asking her what gear it was in. "D," she said.

I felt foolish for not having checked that first, but on the other hand, I should not have had to check it. It's as basic as asking her if she tried using the key to start the damn thing.
