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?!

In a hurry, I ran up to what I thought was my boyfriend’s car and flung the passenger door open so quickly that the passenger nearly fell out. I bounded away mumbling “sorry, sorry, so sorry”. I couldn’t even see where his car was so I just kept running.

There was a funny video of a very elderly man getting into the wrong car extremely slowly while the driver tried repeatedly to tell him its the wrong car. I'll try to find it.

I parked my orange Honda jazz in tesco a few days ago. When I got out I realised I was parked next to an identical car. I thought how funny it would be if the other car owner came out and tried to unlock my car by mistake.

30 mins later I came out into the car park and thought “fuck my key remote isn’t working! So after a couple of presses I gave the door handle a pull in desperation before realising I was trying to get in to the other car and I set off the alarm.

3 days later and 10 miles away I came out of another supermarket. Pressed the remote and no response. I thought fuck my remote really is knackered now. Then I noticed a blue disabled badge on the dashboard that definitely wasn’t mine. It was the same bloody orange car!

Here it is. Bless him!

I did the same but in someone’s flat! Mortifying. Went to visit my friend at her new flat (years ago all in our twenties) but knocked on next door. A slightly bewildered man let me in he thought I was a friend of his flatmate. Sat there making polite conversation for about 10 mins until I realised.

I've done this outside a petrol station, still getting over it! Morto!

This is brilliant

😂😂😂 this is so funny.

I've never done it myself but when I was younger, I was sat in the car with my cousin at a petrol station when this woman starts walking towards the car. She came right up to the door about to open it and then realised it wasn't her car. She quickly jumped back and tried to act like no one had seen her 😂. She then sheepishly walked away

Another cringe was when I moved cities and had a meeting in my old city. Arranged to meet up with my rather prim ex flatmate. Her new boyfriend then kindly offered to drop me at the station. For some reason I kissed him as I got out of the car! It was automatic as usually only my dad or my then fiancée dropped me at train stations. God I cringed all the way home - just couldn’t stop laughing to myself!

Oh lord I've done this. DH picking me up from the station after a late shift and we were flying the next morning on quite a big holiday. I was v excited.

Spotted the car.

Hopped in.

Immediately sang "I WANT TO GETAWAYYYYYYYY" a la Lenny Kravitz.

Wondered why DH wasn't laughing...

Poor elderly man in the seat next to me was just staring in speechless shock. I wanted to die but instead I said

"Oops, not with you sir!" And hopped out.

Got into the right car then, checked it was DH and then just wanted to die on the spot 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I laugh now but oh my god I thought my heart was about to fall through my arse with embarrassment.

My aunty did this at a petrol station 😂 it was also a completely different make of car in a different colour 🤣

@BatshitBanshee I love what you said to him after you realised 😂

Not car related but still mortifying and something I'm reminded about all the time.

I was asked to pick up a prescription at a dispensing surgery.

I was told to go into the waiting room and across to the dispensary. If there was no one there I was to press the buzzer on the right.

The waiting room was packed. Walking up to the dispensary I could see that there was no one there so straight away I pressed the buzzer. Only it wasn't the dispensary buzzer it was the light switch.

The whole waiting room was suddenly pitch black. I felt so humiliated that I didn't want to turn the light back on so everyone could see me. The whole village must've been in there.

I heard a little trembly voice say Mummy?

Suddenly the light came back on (there must've been another switch somewhere) and everyone was just staring at me.

I wanted the floor to open up and swallow me. I couldn't get out quick enough.

Whenever we're out in crowded indoor places my husband and family always ask if I want to switch the lights off.

I did this with my brother's car. I was slightly confused when I opened the door and seen a car seat. When our children were all teens.😂😂😂

I feel your pain!

On the way home one weekend with DH and he pulled into the local CO-OP car park as I wanted to pick up a couple of things for dinner.

I returned to car and moan, “They don’t have any fresh basil AGAIN” and turn to discover a rather confused bloke looking at me! Same make /model/car colour as ours - adjacent parking space!

DH was crying from laughter. I mumbled a sorry and escaped before the bloke could say anything!

Brilliant OP! 😂
Please tell us you didn't abandon your pizza in the confusion & shame?

My ex, who for all his legion faults was a very funny man, did similar outside a supermarket. He was just putting his key into his car door to dump the shopping in & drive home when a random man accosted him.

RANDOM: "What the FUCK do you think you're doing?"

EX: "Huh? I'm getting in my FUCKING car."

RANDOM: "Oh yeah?" (aggressive stance increase)

EX: "Yup. So if you'll excuse me ... oh hold on. (key shuffling embarrassment) Looks like I'm getting in YOUR fucking car.
Mine's just over there -" (points at identical model, in fact his car)

RANDOM & EX: (beaming relief at physical confrontation avoided) "Ha ha ha ahahahahah!!"

😂😂😂

I got in my car once to find a random preteen sitting in the passenger seat playing on a games console. I was very pissed off and said 'umm??? Can I help you???!' He looked confused and said no, he was fine. My car was about three along and fortunately I managed to get away before his parents came back. Even better than that though was dbro, a postman, desperate for the loo, decided to ask at the next house if he could avail himself. Some kid came to the door and said yes, that would be fine. Dbro asked if he was on his own and was told oh no Mummys here, showing dBro into the bathroom cheerfully, where Mummy was sitting in the bath. Dbro fled.

I was breastfeeding my baby in the passenger seat of our car, parked up at a service station and waiting for DH and DS to get back from the shops.

A woman opened the door behind me and started bundling her child into my son’s car seat. I exclaimed “hey!”, she looked up, saw me, and just wilted with embarrassment 😂

This is so perfectly ... nerdy & excellent. Why explain, when you can run about like a perfectly normal 3 year old venue visitor?

Well held Chatty 😂

😂😂😂

😂😂😂
Ah come on now! You can't dangle DOGS into the equation & not give us the follow-up to the tail tale!

More please Rambam ...

That can happen anywhere OP, I've done it outside a shop before.

No one died. x

My Mum and Dad once came out of the airport and went to get a taxi. My dad had got a taxi from somewhere near the airport recently, and was NOT having how much the taxi drivers were quoting him for a similar length journey-it was so much more, I guess because airport...

Anyway he told them to bog off and walked to outside the airport and saw a line of taxis, got in one, asked the driver how much and he said X amount, a lot cheaper than the other taxis and they set off. They'd got about half way home when the driver said 'I must let you know, I am not actually a taxi driver but my wife's flight's delayed and I figured I've nothing better to do so I'm as well give you a lift home!'

My Dad insisted on paying him and paid him much more than the original (real) taxi drivers had wanted, it wasn't that he couldn't afford the fare, more so he wasn't happy at the principal of charging as much as they wanted, just because they could!

Winner!
😂😍
Dunno why the keeping him alert is so hilarious but it's doing my dry wheezy cough NO good.
