I was a licensed boat captain for many years.

We had a small boat in our fleet that needed an outboard engine repair. I was sent to pick it up from the mechanic and bring it back. I went to the office, got the key, went to the boat, it wouldn't start. Tried for a few minutes, called the guy at the office.

He walked down the dock, got on the boat, inserted the kill switch clip that is standard on all outboards (and was attached to the keychain on the boat that I drove daily for a living) into the kill switch holder, turned the key and started the engine, and walked away. Never even said a word to me.

I have never felt so stupid in my entire life.
