An acquaintance is in a family where all the cars are basically shared and such and everyone has a set of keys to all cars. Good if you misplace your keys or lock them in the car, or need to take the bigger vs. smaller car, but it does have it’s hazards.
It’s not at all uncommon for cars to be left overnight in the side parking lot of the pub on the weekends as folks pile into cabs or seek alternate transportation when leaving for the evening. This motley crew regroups the next morning to retrieve the autos left behind, quiet nods are exchanged and all are usually thinking the same things…
Why do the birds have to be so loud this morning?
Does the sun have to shine that brightly?
Will I ever learn that shots are not a good idea?
or
Um, where is my car?
Inquires were made in the pub, no towing operations have taken place. The morning crew says the car wasn’t there when they got in. We’re all quite sure the car was still there the night before. Finally a cell phone rings. “Oh, I needed your car so I came up and got it this morning and forgot to leave you a message…”
Quite the way to get your day started.
