To never pick up a take away again

[ConfessionsOfAMumDramaQueen]

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?!

That is really funny 😂and I do believe you because I've done really similar things. I've gone to get into our car and not noticed there's one that looks exactly like it, just three cars up from ours.

And I'm standing by this almost identical car, saying 'DUH where are you going?' to DH....... Waiting to get into the car that isn't mine, and trying to open the doors!!! A few times there has been somebody sitting in it just looking at me like I'm nuts.

I was meeting a friend this weekend, I was already at the venue, they were arriving after me. Texted that they were just getting there. I spotted them in the entrance and literally ran up to the doorway give them a huge hug.

Just before the hug I realised it was a stranger with the same haircut so I circled back round (still jogging), ran back to my table and sat down. As if I meant to do a spontaneous loop of the hallway, for fun.

My mother got in the vicar’s car once and started complaining about the newspapers on the seat.
It wasn’t the taxi she thought it was 😂

I've done this before - DP collecting me from work (it was quite dark). I saw the car (size and colour) opened the door, got in, sat down. Waited expectantly, only to be told 'you've got the wrong car love'.

I did this at Tesco garage same.kodrl, colour of car etc. The.dir was.open amd.i.sst.in the.drivrts seat looking around confused and as.i realised this car wasn't mine because it's clean the car owner was looking at me through the window. Luckily he found it amusing.

When I used to pick DH up from the station I had three different incidents of strange blokes hopping into my car - and hopping out again rapidly. One of them I was quite tempted to keep

@LookItsMeAgain i have creased laughing at this as this is my exact accent. The way she says car 😂I can’t even type it phonetically.

I have done this too 😂

I’ve done exactly this, but it was the M&S carpark and the poor driver was a woman. DH still brings it up almost every time we go there.

Its a small town, so YANBU!

Yes, it's funny how men constantly bring it up when you do something daft. They particularly love to bring it up in front of other people....you know at gatherings and parties, just for a laugh.... hahaha. Try taking the piss out of him in front of people, for something daft that HE did though. If looks could kill!

My mum’s done this only recently OP. Chucked a couple of shopping bags into the backseat of a car at a retail park and to be met with a horrified, speechless elderly couple staring at her from the front seats!

I’ve got into the backseat of my own car on a petrol forecourt before, thank god no one saw (as far as I know!)

When I scowl at him for it he says its because I’m usually always right so he needs a little fail to cling on to. He’d never, ever try to show me up in front of anyone else though, nor me him.

I did this at the services, got in the car snd presented a very startled man who was not DH with a Costa!

Made me proper lol thanks 😂😂

My husband once opened the boot of a car that wasn't ours, letting three big dogs out

When we were dating, DH quickly saw me to my door one night and ran back to his car. He got in and sat on the lap of the man who was nicking it.

Not sure who was more shocked.

I've done this at least twice 😂 it's nice to know other people are as unfortunate as I am 🤣

😂😂😂 thank you all for making me feel so much better with your similar stories!

I'm glad it gave others a chuckle. My DH keeps bursting out laughing again when he looks at me. Don't think I'll be living this one down very quickly!

I told him I'm not leaving the house again and he offered to cut and dye my hair so the guy won't recognise me. I'd say he's being nice, but I think it has more to do with not wanting to go to the kids' school Christmas thing tomorrow alone 🤔They're at MILs tonight so I'm sure he'll be regaling it to her at the school tomorrow!

I did this in Wales. Were on our way to holiday and I had a coughing fit and needed a drink. Slammed into a parking space outside a shop, dashed in, got the water and came back out. Walked back to the silver people carrier, got in to the drivers seat and looked over at a very shocked man and past him......my then DH pissing himself laughing in the next car over.

I was mortified....I just said "Oh shit...I am SO SORRY!!!!" and I get out of the car his wife came out of the shop and when I said the same again and was (probably shouting) "Thats my car! I am so sorry!! " she luckily laughed and I felt a bit better and it was all good.

Next day we saw them on the beach and my then DH shouted "If she sits next you can you send her back over here mate?!"

It was funny, dont stress on it!

Brilliant, OP. I hope you enjoyed your pizza!

Here is my hotel story Left DH to make a call in our room and went back to reception in an attempt to finally resolve a room move saga with multiple keys - they gave me two new key cards and I headed back to the room. Neither worked. I heard a bloke burp behind the door - I yelled "charming, DH" and banged on it to whinge about the key not working, saying I would go down again in a minute. The door creaked open and a very confused and chastened bloke stood there. Reader, it was not DH, as I was on the wrong floor. I have never apologised so profusely nor scuttled so fast.

Oh I think this one wins!! I mean it was his own car so.....fair!

We once had a random man get into our car thinking we were a taxi ! He just sat there until dh kindly pointed out that we were not a taxi. We laughed about it a lot.

If the intruder brings pizza then it's fine by me.

I often move the car while DH has popped into B-in-a-Q. He takes so long I get bored where I'm sat and it keeps him alert.

Mine wasn't takeaway related, but on this occasion l was at the supermarket.

Came back to my car with a full trolley, thinking 'who's tucked my mirrors in?!' So l folded them back out, really annoyed that somebody'd been messing with my car.
Zapping the remote, nothing's happening. So l tried the key in the driver's door.
It was only then that I noticed a little pair of baseball boots hanging from the rear view mirror.
It wasn't my car. Exactly same make and model as mine, same colour, reg plate (when l finally looked at it) one letter different.
My car was about five along in the same line. I couldn't get the shopping in mine quick enough in case someone had seen me. And l gave that supermarket a miss for a few weeks.

Same place, a few months later.... l was bending over the freezers, when someone put their arms round me from behind and exclaimed "By 'eck, love, you smell lovely!" (I'm in Yorkshire)
Turned round - l didn't know the man from Adam. He was mortified, obviously though l was someone he knew. We both ended up laughing, though.
