According to New Zealand’s Otago Daily Times, a series of unfortunate events led to Alexandra, New Zealand, residents Mollieanne and Brian Smith suffering through a 13-hour-long ordeal in the front seats of their Mazda3 hatchback last month. The couple apparently got into their car without the car’s wireless key fob and somehow managed to lock the doors—and then couldn’t figure out how to get out.

.....Neighbors found the couple in dire straits, with Mollieanne Smith unconscious and her husband Brian having difficulty breathing. Mrs. Smith required a three-day hospital stay to recover.

"The New Zealand police department regret to inform you that your children are dead because they were stupid."

They should be shot, people that stupid should not be allowed to take up air or space.

The worst part:

The Times also says that since going to the media with their story, the couple has been contacted by "about five" other people who have had "similar keyless-car experiences."

I drive that car. You know what it takes to get out without the key fob?

PULLING THE DOOR HANDLE!!!

Ugh. I don't even know how to feel about our world anymore.

I got locked in a 50 cent photo booth once.
