Wrong car.....

[smudge]

Following on from Erdinger......

Have you ever walked up to 'your' car & tried to open it by remote or key, only to find it isn't 'your' car?!

I've done this a couple of times - very embarrassing, 'specially when I put my bags on the bonnet to keep them from getting mucky in the rain!

Once or twice. I felt quite foolish indeed.

I once drove my father into town to collect a fish supper in his Landrover. I parked behind an indentical vehicle and lo and behold he jumped into the one in front. He was tired. The woman in the drivers seat got quite a shock but thankfully it was a friend of a friend. My father got a much bigger shock I can tell you.

Mum and I came out of Yoga class one night, walked down to the station car park and got in to the car that flashed when she pressed her remote - unfortunately we didn't look at the car.
While she struggled to get her key in the ignition I was looking in bewilderment at the things hanging from the mirror and on the dashboard. Took a good few seconds before we realised!
We must have been caught on CCTV fleeing from that car into another ( thankfully our own )

Honestly, the two of us shouldn't be let out together - last week my aunt left her mobile at my mums and mum's immediate response was to text her to let her know we had her phone. I agreed this sounded like a good idea. It was only when she sent the message and my aunt's mobile beeped in my hand that we realised how dumb we were being!!

Sorry Smudge, hit submit too soon - I was going to ask how your aunt was? Have you been to see her yet? You've been in my thoughts, hope things are going as well as they can. x

I once took a National Express coach from Manchester to London, we stopped at a motorway service station about halfway, i got off, went to the loo, got back on 'the' coach, did fleetingly think that i didnt remember those pretty girls sitting infront of me, set back of down the motorway, fell asleep and yes you've guessed it , ended up in Bristol. Oh ******!!!!!!

I haven't but one of the girls at work was telling us about the time her husband dropped her off outside the DR's surgery, he said he would wait for her in the car. When she came out she got into the car and turned to speak to her husband only to find a strange man sitting beside her. Her husband was parked a few cars behind. lol

Thank you all for your answers which made me laugh!

Just before we exchanged contracts, I thought I'd have a drive down the road we live in now, to see how quiet the road was. It was getting dark & as I sat in my car opposite the house, the passenger door suddenly opened & a young girl got in. It really made jump & I said "What are you doing?". She replied "You are my driving Instructor aren't you"?' I replied "No, we're buying the house over there & I've just come to look at it again".

Poor girl was mortified, as it was her very first lesson too, but we both saw the funny side of it. When we moved in, her Mum knocked on the door to introduce herself. We laughed & laughed at how I'd met her daughter & we've all been the bestest of friends since. That was 25 years ago!

Thank you for asking after my Aunt yinyang. She's still in hospital, but I haven't been to see her yet ,as we had company all over the weekend & I had a a tummy upset yesterday.

My sister has been to visit her & said she has 32 stitches across her lower stomach. She's also very confused & thinks the cancer has been 'taken away' - even tho' the Consultant told her there was nothing they could do for her when she woke up after the op. Bless her.

Thank you again. -xx-

Hiya smudge, we're a right pair me and mr beads, we often forget where we've left the car (me more than him). I remember one Saturday we were in Bluewater and we always park in the JL car park, so laden with shopping we stroll out of John Lewis inot the car park and couldn't find it anywhere. We were walking around for ages before we realised.

On another occasion I had to go to the car to get something and went to the wrong car out the front. It was really untidy on the back seat and I came back in after not being able to get into it and was like ''gawd almighty you've got all papers over the back seat, you're asking to be broken in to and the key doesn't work''....Doh!

[yinyang]

Poor thing, Smudge - it sounds like a real ordeal for her at the moment. I hope she settles and has an easier time of it soon.
Keep us posted, wont you? Take care. x
