Senior moment

[Osc]

I have spent time beside "my" car clicking the fob and wondering why the car wouldn't open, looking in the window and idly wondering why there is a high vis vest on the back seat, carrying on clicking.....and then realising that "my" car is parked across the road

Cromwell!

John watched me having a bit of a moment on Tesco car park last night. We'd been for a walk with my Dad and Billy, dropped Dad back home, had a cuppa with them and called into Tesco on the way home by which time it was dark. John stayed in the car with Billy while I went in to get the bread and a few bits.

When I came out I looked for our car, spotted it...and then spotted an identical one in the next but one space. They were the only two cars in that part of the car park, it was dark, I couldn't see the number plates and John hadn't done his usual trick of starting the car when he saw me so....I walked towards the wrong car, and at the last second spotted him grinning in the correct one.

What was really evil though was the fact that he watched me walk down the stairs (it's one of those two storey Tescos with a glass front) and as I got to the bottom he saw the man, who'd parked the car after I'd gone into the store, start to walk down the stairs behind me. He said he was waiting for the commotion when the fella saw me trying his door handle

I did that a few weeks ago, not the high viz jacket, but an identical car to mine, same year, colour, etc, and I'm pressing the remote fob to unlock it and no lights flashed to say it was unlocked, when I tried the key it wouldn't turn, and I'm getting more and more frustrated/annoyed since I had a trolley full of groceries and it was raining....then I spotted mine about 3 cars up......

This thread just made me laugh... so funny

Just a quick PS on this thread - I have every sympathy with those who have been caught out trying to break into the wrong car in a car park.

But there again, you are talking to someone who initially thought that "50 Shades of Grey" was a new car catalogue ......

ROFL

"50 Shades of Grey" was a new car catalogue ......

I once worked near a prison. I often parked the car in a side street there. One night I had been working late and one of the lads at work offered to drive me to my car rather than me having to walk through the quite dark streets to get there. So I accepted. We jumped in his car, parked in the staff carpark, and tootled off down the road to my car, only it wasn't there. My hearts in my mouth, on no, i'm thinking, my car has been stolen!! but common sense kicks in, maybe i haven't parked my car there today afterall, so we try each of my usual sneaky 4 spots i usually found parking. nothing in either. This is before cell phones were for the poor people, ie broke 19 year olds, so we go back to work to ring the police. by now the staff carpark is empty, except for 1 car, mine.



This is the same year that my flatmate had his car "stolen" in ponsonby. Ponsonby is a bit like your streets as in each street looks very much like the other streets. He had parked, gone to a restaurant, played pool, then an open late cafe, and wandered back to where his car wasn't. He phoned the tow truck companies, no sign of it, the police, they reported it as stolen, then got a taxi home. from time to time he was get a friend to drive the streets with him in a hope he would find it, nada. The insurance was due to pay out the next day, so in his brand new car, he thought he would have one last look, he turned down one street he didn't remember seeing before, and what do you know, there was his, parked, still locked, perfect condition, exactly where he had left it, waiting for him.
