Come out of a shop so absorbed with putting your change in your purse and fishing out your keys, you've tried to get into the wrong car?
The other night I was about to get into what I thought was my car. When I looked up I saw it had a huge scrape up the side of it!
I nearly had a heart attack. I thought someone had sideswiped me while I was shopping.
Oh relief when I saw my car in the next space, unharmed !
I felt a bit sorry for the scraped car though, it was a nice black Peugeot.

No I haven't done that, but i've gone through a check out at Best & Less paid for my purchases, crossed the road and was standing looking at some lovely shoes and a shoe shop and looked down and realized I had 6 placemats under my arm

Not really absorbed in anything, more of just a day dream, but started bleeping at the remote when the white wagon wouldn't unlock.
Took a little while to realise I hadn't even taken the wagon, but the other car. (yep, the wagon is quite a common model and colour around here)

Mnay many many years ago I had been shopping, was very tired when I got back to the car, put the key in the lock, opened it up and thought it had been taken for a joy ride as I kept my car clean and rubbish was not allowed all over the floor!
Mine was parked about 5 cars on....but my key opened this car! Ford XD

A couple of weeks ago, I parked my car outside the gym. Came out and an identical car was parked beside it. Even the first 3 letters of the number plate were the same (numbers were different though) Same colour the works, even the sticker saying the car place I bought it from and the number plate frame thingy!
Made sense as the car yard probably registered a few of them together, so the numbers would have followed, but it spun me out a bit at first LOL
Just kinda weird, that 2 dif people like that were at the same place at the same time.
