Never to the point where I've been searching more than a minute or so. We used to have a van which made things a lot simpler --but that's what that neat red button is for on your keyless remote!

I have forgotten where I parked on several occassions. once I forgot I had my hubbys car and not my minivan and went into a panic attack when I couldn't find a car I wasn't even driving! LOL I usually frequent the same stores and now I park in the same general area of the parking lot every time so I don't forget where I'm at. hitting the panic button on my key always works too. LOL

That happens to me alot. Once I get inside the store I completely forget about my car. I try to park as close to the door as possible that way I know it's not far away. My biggest problem is that I also have the bad habbit of locking my keys in the car!

You know what? I bet this happens more than we realize lol...i know many people that this has happened to!!! What you need to do is a)park by a pole (our local mall has the parking lot divided into sections such as green, blue etc and b) remember what door you came in (ie by the shoe section) that usually works for me!

lol. It used to happen ALL the time. I am hopeless at remembering where I parked my car. My ex's favourite joke was to let me lead the way to the car after a big shopping trip. It used to amuse him for ages, until his arms got tired of holding my shopping! These days, I make a note of it. Our carparks tend to have letters, colours, numbers, or some sort of indication as to where you've parked. So I write it into my PDA on the way in. If I can't remember where I was, I just look it up, and I can avoid the stress!

It depends of how many times you "lost" your car in the parking lot. But cheer up... you are not the only one
