I did something really embarrassing today. You are all going to laugh at me so hard...Try to keep it to a minimum, I already feel so bad about it.
For my morning 15 minute break, I went down to Border's, right down the street from my work, so that I could get a magazine to read during lunch. I went inside, bought my stuff, and came out and my car was gone.
I freaked out. I walked around the parking lot 10 times, then called my mom, freaking out, crying, the works. She told me to call the police. So I called the cops, they came out to the Borders, I wrote up a report, la dee da, and I was so upset. The cop said he was going to circle around the shopping center (it's huge), because sometimes when cars are stolen, the people drive them like into another parking lot, and drop them off there, not thinking that people like me would call the cops.
Meanwhile my parents were freaking out, saying they were coming to meet me, and all this stuff. I went back into Border's and tried to calm down.
The cop came back and said that my car was on the other side of the building. It hadn't been stolen at all.
I guess I had parked on one side of the building, then entered that entrance, walked through the store, and left out of another exit. But I have absolutely no mental recollection, no mental picture, of walking through the store.
I felt soooooo stupid. The cop was really nice, he said they get freak calls like that all the time, and that I shouldn't feel bad. But I felt sooooo stupid. I was so embarrassed...
So yeah. Go ahead and laugh. But kinda keep it to a minimum, ok? =P
