No, but they are almost all so equipped these days. Every grocery store and restaurant
seems to have fallen for this under the idea that it saves them money.

I would think it does. Besides I'm glad the toilets are flushed when I arrive. But yeah the auto paper towel things are annoying.

The doors on my car lock automatically. When I first drove the car and it locked on me I admit I had a bit of a Christine moment.

What kind of cars are these?? Will it lock the door if a key is in the ignition?

I have mine set up to lock the doors when I shift out of park and unlock the driver's door when I take turn the engine off. If you read the manual, there's probably a way to program it. That's what I did with mine.

Though I did have a female passenger once tell me that I should inform people ahead of time that the doors will lock, so as to not to give the impression that I may be sinisterly locking them in the car.

So you you won't get car Jacked? In Ashland? Nobody wants your green Subaru wagonLaughing

So what if you get in a wreck, you are unconsciousness and no one call pull you out of your burning car because the key is on ?Razz

I bet you are right, I was thinking the same thing. I had a 97 Volvo and with out the owners manual and specific instructions you could never figure out how to open the trunk.

We have those at work. I usually wave my hand before I wash them so that I don't get water running down my arms.

My 2002 Dakota does this. Once you reach about 5 or 10 miles an hour, all doors lock automatically.

I don't have a pet peeve.

Please send donations to:

Wonky
Main St. Bridge over Bear Creek
Western end, cardboard on left
Medford, OR 97504

(Cash only please. Last time, TVg sent S&H Green Stamps. But, better than the WW2 ration card Clete sent, and not quite as good as the French post cards Ponder sent)

PS: Please be generous. I want to buy a really good pet peeve.

I checked the manual months ago. There is a way to change the setting by using the remote... but it didn't work for me. I am certain that I followed the directions correctly. I might try it again though.

BTW, I want mine to remain unlocked unless I lock them. THAT should be the default setting.

I hope that is only a strange kind of humor. Otherwise, sick.
