Another variation... Flying off somewhere and remember at the last
minute that your check-in bag was broken and you need a new one.
Whizz out and get it, pack and off to the airport. Once you've
landed you arrive at the luggage carousel only to think,
"What the hell did that new bag I just bought look like?"


I was once at a conference in the USA and I hitched a ride somewhere
with the (very experienced) Brit who had organised it. In the back
window of his hire car he had a particularly absurd and brightly
coloured cuddly toy. When I asked him about it, he said he *always* got
one for his hire cars abroad. There's nothing worse than being in a
shopping mall car park with about a hundred other identical cars.

What a brilliant idea. I went into a mall in Rochester, NY, came out
of a different door to the one I went in and couldn't find my hire
car. I didn't even know what make, model or colour it was.

Nowadays, I take a photo of the car (with reg plate).
