Have you parked your come in a large parking like like a grocery store parking lot or a big department store parking lot and come out the store and forgot where you parked your car? I have done this many times at our local Wal-Mart Store.
I have seen people wondering around in the parking lot looking for their car. I start smiling sometime I would say to them did you forget where you parked your car, most of the time it will bring a smile to their face and they admit it.
It's embarrassing sometime and they try to play it off.
One woman an older lady told me when she can't find hers, and there have been a time she went and tried to get in the wrong car. The only reason she didn't was because the keys would not fit. She said she identify her car by using her trunk release button on her key remote.

Haha! I've done it maybe once or twice, but my mom used to (well, still does, but I'm not with her too often anymore) do this all the time!! When I was younger and I'd go to the store with her and we'd go to leave, she'd say where did we park? And since I was younger, I didn't really pay attention. We'd spend about 20 minutes sometimes looking for it. I laughed it off, she'd get mad & embarrassed! lol

Yes, there have been times when I couldn't remember where I parked my car. Especially at WalMart. Their parking lot is crazy. They have numbers at the end of the rows. So, what I did was I would write the number on my hand so when I came out of the store I would know which row I parked in. I felt like a little child but it worked for me. There was one time I tried to get into a car that looked like mine. I'm glad they didn't have a security alarm that went off. I would've been really embarrased then LOL.

Ha!ha!ha! Sounds like my experience! That happens to us most of the time. After a day of shopping and we have to go home, we sometimes get lost as to where we parked the car. It so happened that our blue car has resembles most of the car parked there. It was such a waste of time. And also annoying because we all would want to rest our feet on the car. To avoid that, we always make it a point to remember what lane did we park the car before going inside the mall.

yes, that remote always helps. i used to do it except when in AZ near sun city where all the elderly live, they have numbers on the rows, so if you remember to look you can find your car again. most elderly just mark it somewhere on them. before they go in.

Hi Chevee,
I often do that and my husband will get really angry so he put an bike rack on top of the car so we can spot it any where.
