I posted this earlier in a bulletin, but it makes me smile, so I'm going to put it here and come back one day when I need a laugh....
The only reason I'm sharing this story is because I know I can at least laugh at myself........
Today at lunch, I decided to run to Baptist Hospital and see some of my friends. Everything went great and then I headed back to the office......let me insert here that I need GPS sometimes and downtown can really get me......well, I went down Gregory St, made a right onto Palafox and then got into the left hand turn lane to turn onto Chase street....I was behind this red car and we were waiting for the turn lane. I sat there for about 5 minutes, when I suddenly realize.........(here's where I feel not so smart)......
I HAD PULLED OVER INTO A FREAKIN PARALLEL PARKING SPOT AND HAD BEEN SITTING BEHIND A PARKED CAR THINKING I WAS IN THE TURN LANE!!!!!!! Holy smokes....I felt so smart. It's scary to think that there are other drivers just like me out there. =)
So, if you ever pass a navy blue Hyundai sitting downtown in parking spot, with their left hand turn signal on......look twice....it may be someone you know......LIKE ME!!!!
