About a week and a half ago, the driver side handle of my car stopped opening properly. Seeing as it was still perfectly driveable, I decided to wait until my next service to get it fixed. Sure, it was a slight inconvenience entering through the passenger side (especially when I accidentally pushed the gear stick from P to R for a few moments!) but I managed to have some fun with it.
I love seeing people do "double takes" - the action where you see something, look away, then comprehend what you saw and go back for another look to confirm you're not crazy. I saw some guy do one out the front of Bi-lo one night last weekend. He was just having a smoke and noticed me getting in the passenger side door. One drag later I had moved to the driver's seat and I looked over at just the right moment to see his head snap back with a look of confusion on his face.
If only I'd tried jumping in through the window Dukes of Hazzard style. Yeee-haw!

The exact same thing happened to my car recently, and I was too lazy to get it fixed for a few months. Instead of going in through the passenger door, I opened the rear driver's side door and reached around to open the handle from the inside. Even then I did get some weird looks from people ;-)
In a way it's kinda cool to leave something like that unattended for a few months, because when you finally get it fixed it's such a relief :-)
haha hilarious
