Thankfully(?), I noticed something was wrong as I closed the door. I mean, it would have been infinitely more useful noticing the keys were still in the ignition and the car was running before I closed the door. It would've been totally uncool for it to be running for nine hours. Especially since I have stuffs to do after work.
I'm just mad at myself for messing up like that because I can be so anal and meticulous. I mean, the routine is a reflex. Apply parking brake, turn off car, remove key from ignition, open door, hit power lock, get out, close door without even thinking about it. I quite often lock passengers in because I hit the power lock so quickly after opening the door that I don't give them the time to actually get out. For some reason, my brain crapped out and I missed the "turn off car/remove key" portion. And its not like my mind was pre-occupied either. Owel, I should just be thankful I was able to get my roomie to drop by with the spare.
