Friday Funny! Dude, where's my car?

This post is a day early, but hope you still find it funny!

In my days as a sales rep, I was fortunate enough to have a company vehicle provided for me. My company used PH&H; a large fleet management company that also serviced many, many other similar companies. Our vehicle selection was, therefore, limited to the offerings that every other company had. It was no surprise, then, that at one time there were countless Taurus's, Grand Prix's, and Intrepid's with sales literature and samples piled in the trunks, littering physician office parking lots.

With only so many color choices, it was no surprise that another female rep (who also looked a lot like me-we were accused of being "twins") had the exact same car I did-down to the color of the interior and similar license plate number. One rainy day, I discovered we also had the same lock and key pattern. As I was running to get to my car, I was frantically pushing the key fob to get the car to beep. Finding a car that responded, I proceeded to get in, throw my wet gear on the seat, and start the car. It was only when I was pulling out of the parking space that I looked at the backseat and discovered boxes of sales literature on products I didn't sell.

I had inadvertently gotten in my friend (and competitor) Laura's car by mistake. My car was on the other side of the lot! We had a good laugh over our "twin" cars and made a point to put some unique markers on our vehicles so the mix-up wouldn't happen again.
