Yesterday the husband and kid went and looked at a few cars. They rock up to used car yard. Spot a car. The husband says to the kid "jump in. Have a look around" then a stranger appears and in his limited English and no teeth starts a convo with the kid. Then she jerries and apologises profusely. The stranger laughs and says "no worries. No worries". Yeah, she made herself home in a strange old man's car.
What he was trying to say was "this my car. This my car".
he missed a business opportunity
The old fool.
I know someone who jumped in a stranger's car thinking it was his Uber.
But really, mistaking someone's car for one available for sale is a bit of a compliment, considering all the cars for sale are freshly detailed. You'd never have mistaken my old car for one for sale as it's presentation was generally less than pristine.
She said it was pretty clean inside but there was a few coins in the console that they had missed ๐
When I did crowd control, people jumped in strangers cars all the time thinking they were ubers.
Kid hits the gas
Kid was too busy looking at the screen situation.
