The strangest thing happened to me on the way to work last week. Here I am, driving along with a co-worker up Limestone Ave during peak hour traffic, when I noticed a car up ahead easing out from a driveway onto the road…. “That’s a bit cheeky” I said to my friend as I continued along, thinking the car would stop before it pulled out into the two lanes of traffic moving at a reasonable pace. But noooo, the car kept coming and I had to swerve so that the car wouldn’t T-bone me. Then, as my mate turned to look behind us he said the strangest thing… “There’s nobody in that car!”
Sure enough, the car kept going perpendicular to traffic, everyone behind me had been blocked, as it bounced off the gutter and rolled backwards again to come to a stop. The story ended there for me, looking back in my mirror as we drove out of sight with this car just sitting in the middle of the road.
Much embarrassment must have ensued as someone realised that their car was not in the driveway where they left it, and that a hundred angry peak hour motorists were waiting to glare and snarl at them…
