I chose a space that had the best view, locked up and left the car for the whole day. I had to walk further to get to where i was going, but it felt right.

I'm losing it aren't I?

Well she should learn to read a fucking map. Grin

I'm starting to feel slightly sorry for my Things because I don't assign them random emotions! Wink

Absolutely love this thread.

That's a bit harsh on the Sat Nav lady. Ours is called Suzy but often gets called fucking Suzy (she can't read a map either).

When I was a little younger, I had to chew for equal amounts of chews on either side of my mouth so that me teeth wouldn't feel left out Xmas Blush

I'm sure I'm not alone in buying the first teddy bear/doll etc on the shelf because I couldn't bear (see what I did there?) to bypass them and get a cuter one from further back.

Oh, I've just remembered - I have to have the smallest cake, or the burntest/driest looking sausage roll in the shop because I can't bear the thought of it not being bought.

I also have AS, so that is an interesting connection. Very little empathy with humans, but I can read animals and inanimate objects like a book [ba-boom]

This has made me Xmas Grin so much! Thank you!

My whole supermarket experience has been transformed... Every tin I picked up from the shelf today seemed to have a dint in it... And I wondered if I should feel sorry for them! Grin

And then I found myself telling my fellow lift-passenger that the lift was finding life hard today! Grin Shock Grin

Ours cars always have names. DH and i both have Volvos so they are Victor and Victoria and my DD1's Clio is called Benjamin because she thinks he is a gay car. DH is getting a new car on Saturday - Angus Audi is coming to stay. My DD2 was genuinely upset this morning when she realised she hadn't said goodbye to Victor as he is being taken away by the man who remove ageing Volvo's and takes them to pastures new.

I suspect we are all slightly bonkers. Lol

I feel sorry for dented tins too, so pleased to find I'm not alone. Sat nav is always called Doris at work but never sworn at or she'll have a hissy fit and direct us down a dead end we then have to reverse out off. Xmas Grin

Goldmandra · 06/12/2012 23:05

I'd forgotten about Danny, our Vito people carrier. I though DH was going to start wearing black when something unrepairable went on the engine and we had to accept we couldn't afford to fix it.

I always try to park my Nissan near other Nissans (so they can have 'Nissan Chat' as my DD calls it)
At a pinch he'll chat to Suzuki or Toyota cars.
But not these pesky French or Italian ones Grin

thatlldopigthatlldo · 08/12/2012 13:24

mine has an italian accent, like the ones on cars.

littlewhitebag you have a Victor too!
And yes I park him next to other Rovers when I can.

Glad I'm not the only one who names cars!
