So, a funny thing happened the other night...

[Captain Ice]

I know I interrupted Happy Time for Mr. Pitt Bull...but did he really have to scare the crap out of me? Was that necessary?

So...Mr. Pitt Bull is in the car "doing his own thing" when suddenly some sweet young thing opens the door and hops in? Gee, with a little re-casting of Mr. P.B., I could get a multi-chapter fanfic out of this!

HOLY CRAP IT'S GUMBY! This has become the best day ever!

A Skipper sighting is always cool...

The other night, I was cruising home from a friend's house when I decided I was going to stop by my second job and visit with my friends there for a bit. Since it was 8:30pm, it was dark outside. After we all had a good chat, I left. I walked out the door, got into my car, threw my crap on the passenger seat and went to go start my car.

That's when I heard the growling coming from the backseat. Like I movie, I turned around in slow motion and found myself face to face with a pit bull.

I never moved so quickly in my life. I grabbed my shit and jumped out of the vehicle, not quite sure what was going on. Then, I looked over and saw my car. Yup, that's right. I had gotten into the wrong car and didn't even realize it until a pit bull almost ripped my face off.

Now, in my defense, the car I got into was identical to mine. I own a black Chevy Cobalt. This stranger also had a black Chevy Cobalt.

My question to you is this: Has anyone else other than me ever had this happen? It can't be such an uncommon occurrence with all the similar looking cars out there.

Like Kestra, not to me, but a couple of my mates got into the back seat of someone elses car when we'd stopped off at a chippy on the way home one night. I was waiting in my car and just watched them get into someone elses (the driver of that car was also waiting for a friend).

Not sure who ended up more startled.

As are Ice sightings. Nice to see you, Captain!

Happened to me once, struggling to get the key in the door for a couple of seconds, until I saw "old lady" things in the car...

Oh, that was Mallory's car.

HA!

 

[Lindley]

The real question is, did this happen on the way to the forum?

Don't think that went unnoticed.

If the blue organza hat and matching umbrella fit....

Considering I drive a black Saab in Sweden, it really should have happened to me by now. But not so, since the lock on the car is very distinctive when you unlock it, the car has a discrete spoiler that few cars of that year has, and I always make it a habit to learn the license plate of the car I'm driving so as to not confuse things.

What's hilarious is that both when I've borrowed my dads Prius and the Focus my mom bought of my grandfather, I've started walking towards the wrong car several times, since they're both silver and have no distinctive makrs about them. I casually joke it's also because they have no soul

 

[pookha]

one of my mom's friends had such a generic car she started putting stuffed animals in the back window so she could keep that from happening.

 

[WillsBabe]

My question to you is this: Has anyone else other than me ever had this happen?

Yes. Years ago when I was a kid. My dad drove a blue Volvo estate. It was late at night I had just arrived back at school after a school trip. The coach pulled in, all the kids piled off. The parents were all parked up waiting. I got my stuff, opened the car door and got in. Turned to kiss my dad. Turned out it was my friend's dad. I'd got into his car, identical to my dad's, my mistake. Got out again and went to find my dad's car. I'd forgotten all about it until now!

I was waiting for someone to use that gag!

 

[Aurian]

I once got into someone elses car.. i was just like 12 or something and it freaked me out of EMBARRASMENT..

never mind that it is unsafe to get into strangers cars lol

It's OK if they're offering free candy or have a puppy to play with.

Like a pit bull?

That particular puppy almost killed me.

Now, had it been my dog:

It would have been a different story. She only attacks things that belong to her. If you're a stranger, she'd lick your face and tells you where the spare car key is hidden.

One of my friends has a fantastic story about a film they were making which included a sex scene - nothing graphic, but it needed over-dubbing for the sound track. They were too embarrassed to do it in the studio, so the director gave them the sound equipment and suggested they use his car out in the lot.

A few minutes in, they noticed a woman standing watching them much to their chagrin, but they finished the recording anyway. She was quite polite about letting them finish before asking them what the fuck they were doing sitting in her car making sex noises into a microphone.

 

[tharpdevenport]

No, for one I always lock my door, so I could never get in without using a key.

What was really funny happened to me tonight:

In December my lease on my truck expired and I returned it to the dealership. I bought a new Ram but I kept one of my spare keys as a memento of my truck (it was the first vehicle I had got on my own). I come out of a Superbowl party tonight and get into a truck not thinking. I realized when I sat down in it that everything was wrong - all of my settings everything. Then I realized it. I got in my old truck and not my new one.

I jumped out of my truck, got in mine, and never intend to go to that bar again
