I am Not That Easily Fooled...Or Am I?

It was a bright, sunny day and I needed to go to the local mall to do a little shopping. At the time I drove a little black Ford Escort. Oh yeah, I was big time.

I arrive, park the car and proceed into the mall. About 2 ½ hours later I emerge with a pep in my step and bags in hand. I retrieve my keys from my purse and insert it into the lock and open my car door. I slide into the drivers seat and shut the door and as soon as the door shut it happened.

A strange uneasiness came over me suddenly. I began to look around the car to try and figure out what was wrong. I didn’t remember my car being this clean. Damn I’m good! I look on the passenger side seat and there it was. A white bowl shaped glass ceiling light bulb cover. Oh oh! This did not go on any of my lights on any of my ceilings. Oh hell!! This is not my car!!

I jumped out of the car so fast I stumbled and almost fell and broke my neck. I immediately looked around to see if anyone noticed I was sitting in the wrong car. Image you come out to your car and some random stranger is sitting in it. How the hell would you react? Talk about embarrassing.

My car was only 3 cars down from this one. Who the hell told this person with the exact same car as mine to park in the same aisle as I did?

I jumped in my car and sped off as fast as I could.
