what would you do

When or if gunplay becomes a consideration you MUST also consider that a small child was VERY close by... Not a time to practice your aim on a pontential BG.

I just don't understand why your bossman decided to run away after making an honest mistake! It's almost kind of funny...

Funny little story. Back around 1991 my mom had a brand shiny new Ford Escort GT. Wow was she ever proud of this thing! So I'm home for a visit and off we go to the grocery store.

Well we have a full cart so Mom says "hey, go pull the car up while I check out".

So I run out to the parking lot, unlock the car, start the engine...and notice a baby seat hooked up in the back

While I'm sitting there in shock this big panel van next to me pulls out and there is MOM's car two spaces over.

As I'm standing there with my jaw open the owner of that car came out and looked at me and said, "wow, we have the same car".

"Oh it's better than that" I said, "watch".. and I proceeded to show him how my mom's keys worked on everything on his car. (Strangely enough his keys would open Mom's car but not start her engine).

I suppose that could have been a very bad situation but in truth we all just had a good laugh over it, although the guy said he was going to get his locks changed at the dealership.

I've heard that Ford had only like 76 different keys back in the day. I don't know if that's true or not...

A while back I was traveling for business, picked up a white Mustang at Hertz(?) and drove to my hotel. The next moring I went out to the parking lot, saw a white Mustang where I thought I parked, unlocked it, hoped in and was on my way. About a mile down the road I noticed a tan raincoat in the back seat, and since I was wearing my own coat I had a *** moment, turned around and went back to the hotel to where I had orginally parked the car the previous evening. Sure enough, there was another white Mustang a few spaces over from where I got my current ride.

Upon checking the license # on the key tag, I realized I had the wrong [otherwise identical] car. I put the one I was in back where I found it & locked it up, got in the right car and was on my way, no harm, no foul. This has also happened to a couple of other folks I know, all were Frod products. Go figure.

I must admit that the story sounds a little suspect unless this guy was stone drunk.

I agree with peetza. My first thought was that the boss was tweaking.

I climbed into the wrong white jeep cherokee at walmart and noticed a funny perfume scent and then noticed wrong items inside... I vacated that seat in a hurry... one of the negatives livin' in a safe place where most don't lock their cardoors at the store...
