A few minutes later, she found her won car parked four or five
spaces further down.



Many years ago my grand mother came to town to visit. She lived in
a tiny town of about 500. She and my mother went grocery shopping.
My grand mother got tired and told my mother that she was going
back
to the car and would wait for her. You guessed it, my mother did
not find my grand mother at the car but did find her several cars
down in a "similar" car patiently waiting.


I very often drop my wife off at the door of the establishment she
wishes to terrorize and park in some shady spot to wait for her. I
once watched her come out of the place, walk to a similar looking
vehicle as ours, open the door, and get in. I couldn't tell who was
more surprised; her or the guy who was sitting in the driver's seat
waiting for his wife.

Would that she only did it once...


One time I came out of the grocery store, unlocked a beige Volvo
wagon, and put the key in the ignition. I was sitting there trying to
figure out why the ignition wouldn't turn when someone knocked on the
window.

Turns out that it wasn't _my_ beige Volvo wagon, it was someone else's
and mine was several cars down. The weird thing is that my key
unlocked the door but not the ignition.
