To never pick up a take away again

I'm still so embarrassed 🙈🙈🙈

Neither of us could be arsed to cook tonight so I decided to get pizza.

We went to pick it up, DH driving. I get out the car, pick up the pizza and throw myself back into the car. Hearing a startled sound to my right, I realise the man in the drivers seat is not my DH. My DH is in the car behind, in our car. In my defence it was the same colour and model of car 🙈.

I apologise profusely to the very confused random stranger, jump out and run to our car where my DH sits crying with laughter.

AIBU to never leave the house again in case I run into this random stranger?!

DDivaStar · 18/12/2022 22:23

Its hilarious but actually totally understandable !

JamSandle · 18/12/2022 22:23

I've done this before too!

Toddlerteaplease · 18/12/2022 22:24

🤣🤣🤣

Whattodo182 · 18/12/2022 22:24

🤣🤣🤣🤣 its just taken me 3 hours to get my otherwise very good sleeper of a baby to bed and this has changed my tears to laughter from despair. 🤣

But yes, definitely don't leave the house just to be safe.

I’m not saying in a word, I was wondering the other week why my car boot wasn’t opening, my car was 3 bays further up. It was the same make model and colour as well.

JoyBeorge · 18/12/2022 22:25

I actually did that myself once. My other half pulled forward while I was in shop then another car rolled into the space we were in. I got straight in the wrong car, some random bloke looking at me baffled. I was mortified and got back out asap lol

Soproudoflionesses · 18/12/2022 22:25

Love it!!!!

Someo · 18/12/2022 22:27

Thanks for the laugh OP 😂😂😂

My brother did this and found himself sitting in a car with John Prescott.

I once accused 'my friend' of loitering with intent, when he turned round, it wasn't my friend, poor bloke stumbled over an apology, and assured me he was just waiting for his wife.

LargeglassofRosePlease · 18/12/2022 22:30

This has really really made me laugh.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank you so much op. I’m up to my eyes on Diazepam with crippling anxiety and am barely able to cope and I read this.

It’s brilliant! 😁😁😁

Hadalifeonce · 18/12/2022 22:31

Posted too soon, exact make and colour car as my friend

ThePoshUns · 18/12/2022 22:31

Haha that's so funny!

DramaAlpaca · 18/12/2022 22:32

Haha Grin

DH was on the receiving end of this once when he was waiting for me in the car near the station. Some random young woman opened the car door, hopped into the back seat and for a uncomfortable minute or two refused to believe he wasn't a taxi!

MariosMagicMushrooms · 18/12/2022 22:33

This is why you should always lock your car doors 👀

MarmiteCoriander · 18/12/2022 22:36

This made me laugh- thanks for sharing OP.

Bouncebacker · 18/12/2022 22:38

This is brilliant OP - thanks for the giggle!

If it makes you feel better - I once thought I was being stalked by a man in a car when I was walking down the the street - I sped up until I was nearly running before I realised it was my Dad!)

LookItsMeAgain · 18/12/2022 22:40

That reminds me of the story that a woman told on the Graham Norton show in the big red chair. I'll try to find it on YouTube and l post the link.

LookItsMeAgain · 18/12/2022 22:42

This is the one:

Enjoy! 😆😆😆😆

Thisbastardcomputer · 18/12/2022 22:47

My mother who was quite batshit crazy, visiting a friend who lived in a semi, gone to the wrong house, waltzed in and shouted bloody hell joyce why have you got yourself a dog, a bewildered family are wondering who this lunatic is.

She did it more than once ffs.

My uncle famously got into bed with my grandmas next door neighbour. My GPs were having a big party and so the neighbouring flay has offered to put up some guests. Their lay out was the mirror image of my grandparents. My uncle and aunt were using the spare room but after a middle of the night wee my uncle returned to the wrong room. My aunt said she was lying in bed thinking what's he doing!

My brother did this and found himself sitting in a car with John Prescott.

More details please! Was it one of Prescott's two jags?😄

PinkButtercups · 18/12/2022 23:04

Ha!

My mum did this in the garage and we all noticed her doing it but kept quiet. Ahh, it was funny. Good memories!

My husband pulled up outside the Convent to post a letter and a Nun jumped in his car. She thought he was her lift. I wouldn't mind but he's Jewish !
