Taiwan 2010 I

This morning, my mum offered me her Mos Burger cash card, and I put it in my pocket. Then my dad took out his transit card slash apartment building entrance key card and gave it to my mum, told us to go meet him at the apartment building after we finish breakfast.

When we left, I noticed that my mum forgot the key card, very much like her, and I laughed at her for being so forgetful, she snatched the card from me. When we were at the entrance gate of the building, mum pulled the door, and it wouldn't open. I told her "look mum, you gotta use the card, that's why it was given to you!"

I tried to make myself look cool, and took out my Mos Burger card from my pocket, thinking that was the card for the apartment, and scanned it at the sensor, and said "see, even I know better!" And she pulled again, but it wouldn't open still. And I got impatient so I pulled like crazy, until the concierge opened the door for us.

He was a young fellow, we told him our card did not work, he looked worried said, "I'm terribly sorry m'am, but perhaps you should scan it near the edge, that should work better, and which type of key card are you using?" I held out the card, and we all realized that I was holding the Mos Burger cash card. Originally that concierge boy had an earnest face, and he literally LOLed in my face, along with mum.
