Komm Gut Heim
So, I don't know if this is a very... Portuguese/Latin(?) thing but I remember my mom being really big on saints. When I got my first car she forced me to put a charm she bought, of "São Cristovão" (St Christopher I guess), patron saint of cars and whatnot. Then when mom bought her new car (back then) she also make a whole episode of looking for a "São Cristovão" charm or something to put in her car.
The trip to Austria was just after I got my second car, and nobody mentioned anything about putting a charm in there. Anyway, while in Salzburg, I went into a... abbey bookshop? gift shop? something? And figured I might as well. get a St Christopher something there. Only, at the time I didn't know the English was St Christopher just yet. After a bit of internet searching I find him, and got this key chain.
What an adventure this keychain had.
After the holidays, when we got back, because my car was still in the work parking place, so I needed a ride to get to work. Then at the end of the day I got my car to go home. I forgot to put the keychain in my keys for a few days because my car's keys are those funny key-less remotes that didn't have a ring thing to loop it over. Anyway, it was also around this time I went to sort out my car park, and they had a set of remotes. Now their remotes had an extra ring, so I could put all those remotes together.
I still forgot to put this key chain in the bunch of keys. Then one day when I parked my car in the company building, I picked up a few random papers in my car that I wanted to throw out, and I saw this key chain, so I took it with me.
In the lift lobby, while waiting for the lift, I threw the paper into the bin. Then it was like those movies in slow-motion, the paper didn't even get into the bin and I was like "NOOOOOOOOOO"! Because I inadvertently threw out the key chain too LOL.
I was deranged and actually put my hand into the bin without gloves. That key chain is tiny, it was hard to get it. And WHAT ARE USED CONDOMS DOING IN THE PARKING LIFT LOBBY! WITH WET TISSUE PAPER!
No, I don't want to know, you don't have to answer anything pertaining to that.
God knows how much soap and disinfectant went to my hands and the keychain after that little episode.
