Oooooh, I hate when that happens!
One day I got a 50 pound bag of dog food and, eschewing a buggy, I toted it out to the parking lot. Hmm.... (huff puff) where did I park? I walked through the lot, up one aisle, cut across, down another... (huff puff) then I looked back and realized I had walked RIGHT BESIDE MY CAR and walked on! Not only that, I had turned a corner and walked right behind my car too! No kidding - I walked right past my car, turned at the rear bumper and started walking up the parking lot aisle, got a good two or three cars away before I realized I had just walked past two sides of my car.
Kinda sad, really. They say the mind is the first thing to go. I sometimes wonder if I have one to lose.

Oh, oh. The other day I walked out of the gym to see a woman sitting in my car rifling through my console compartment. She had pulled out some of my things, like a scarf that I had forgotten was even in the car, and a pair of gloves I forgot I owned. I thought for a while about what I should do... so I tapped on the window and smiled at her like "yeah... uh, I caught you in my car... so um yeah."
She opened the car door and was all "oh hey, nice to see you!" and I thought "okay, so this is how she's going to play this. Uh huh."
So all casual-like, I say "Hey, it's good to see you. Um, what are you up to?" I'm thinking to myself... should I just go back inside and call the police? This is soooo bizarre!
The unidentified woman is still making small talk with me, acting like she knows me, and meanwhile my eyes drift down to the interior of the door and I notice that it's that faux-wood paneling stuff.
My car... doesn't have faux wood paneling.
I start feeling sick.
I look casually behind me and notice MY car, which is exactly like hers, parked two spaces down. Laughing at me.
She's still chatting, so I smile and say "Well, it was great seeing you! Have a nice workout" And she says "Yes, good seeing you too!"
And we part ways.
And that... is how old and senile I am.

You remember the fashion of men wearing "sparkling" suits? (as if they had small mirrors attached like a disco ball?)
Well, it was still fashion (in the celebrity world) when I grew up. When I was in my late teens or early twenties,
a top of the pops commentator presented a 80's (?) clip, saying "They were allowed to dress like that back then"

I did that once as a teenager if that makes you feel any better.
Got all the way to putting the key in the ignition and was like "why doesn't this thing want to start, what's wrong with it." Then I glance down and notice the white face gauges. Exterior and interior were otherwise identical.
"I swear it looks just like mine" is probably not a good excuse when the cop is trying to tell you that you were trying to boost the car. Then again, it was my parent's mini van. Who boosts a mini van.
