Have you ever gotten into or tried to get into the wrong car?

When I leave work after a 12 hour night shift, I swear there are at least 3 or 4 cars that are trying hard to look like mine!! Once I tried to open the door lock and when it wouldn't do, I realized it was a Chevy and I drive a Ford! Another time, I unlocked the door (unless it wasn't locked)..it was the same make and model as mine...but, once I had the door open, I saw there was a baby carseat in the back! Whoops! I hit the automatic locks and shut the door! Later, I thought...maybe it wasn't locked...maybe this person never locks their car doors...maybe they keep the key in the car somewhere and here they come out and their car is locked!! Oops!

Yes, ive tried to do the same thing. Ive stood there, with my central locking thingy, and tried to activate the wrong car; how embarrassing! Ive also tried to open my front door with my central locking thing by pointing it at the door and pressing the button... Well, of course, it didn't work. You thought you had problems!

Girl, you are not alone. I did that not too long ago. I actually got in the car. My keys worked!! I got in and realized that the steering wheel looked different. I immediately got out of the car scared I would be arrested for grand theft auto!LOL. I laughed about it later.

Hahaha, Twinkee! You've reminded me of a thing i did years ago. Somebody had 'parked me in' in a lane and i wanted to go home, so i got my key, tried my luck in the door, and hey presto, it worked. I moved his car all the way down the street, left it there, then got my car out, and drove home. Hahaha, i coundn't help it. It was in the middle of the night, so he would have come out and noticed his car missing and thought, 'im sure i parked my car here'... hehehe! Technically, its not theft! I left it down the street and made sure all of the doors were locked before i went home πŸ˜‰

Libragirl, that's one of the nicest things I've ever heard (what you did with that guy's car)! You demonstrated INTEGRITY there...lol. I bet if it had been some other jerk and not you, that guy would have been VERY sorry to have been so inconsiderate...I bet he felt very lucky when he realized that someone had been nice enough about the situation to do what you did! πŸ˜›

Star and twinkee, your posts gave me a good laugh, don't worry, we've all done similar things I think. I've never gotten into the wrong car, but I have come close on a few occassions. lol. It's so embarrassing, I'm like, looking all around me to see if people saw me walk right up to someone else's car. lol.

Speaking of funny things, have you ever taken a sip out of a water bottle in a nightclub and realised the lid is still on?! That is my version of 'looking around to see if anyone noticed'!

I am joining the other's car-the-lid-still-on club!
On more than one ocasion-at parties-I have lighten my cigarette from the tip,which was the same colour as the body!And I was enhaling,and instead of getting the tabbaco flavour ,I got a thick smoke and completely chocked up!
I coughed for an hour!
Also once I was returning from a ski-week-end and-at the rail station where we had parked the car 2 days ago-we open the car,put the luggage inside and-when trying to put the skies on the car realized that there was no special car-top carrier!

LOL Bella! I used to light the wrong end of my cigarette now and then when I used to smoke!! I can relate! LOL!

I have an old 'car' story from high school...
My friend and I caught a ride to the basketball game with another girlfriend in her parents boat-of-a-car. She was going to pick us up in front of the school at the end of the game. A boy was goofing around and 'escorted' my friend and I to our car. We were on each of his arms...goofing off and laughing. She and I get into the back seat of a gold colored big car. We both looked up after getting in and there was a lady and two kids in the front seat and we had no idea who they were!! We got out on the other side of the car laughing our a $ $ e $ off! We sat down in the snow and laughed so hard...she ended up peeing her pants! (She had a 'weak' bladder!) I don't think we even were able to explain! Those people probably always locked their car doors after that...to keep the riff-raff out! LOL!
