I couldn't find my car!

I went to WalMart on my lunch to pick up a few things.  I must not have been paying attention to where I parked my car because when I left the store I could not remember where I parked.  I was roaming around the parking lot looking for my car.  I tried to retrace my steps ie: which direction I entered the parking lot from, remembering if I parked in a compact space or larger parking space. 

Finally after a few minutes off looking like a fool pushing my shopping cart around the parking lot, I found my car.  Whew, what a relief.  I'm just so embarrased.

Re: I couldn't find my car!

  • Lol this happens to me a lot. We have a huge parking lot at work and I am usually good about it but some days I just cant find it lol.

  • It's been a few years, but I also lost my car in a wal-mart parking lot.  I thought my dad was playing a trick on me, but no, I really did lose my car, took me about 20 minutes to locate it.

  • I do it about once amonth. Thank the heavens I have a panic button :-)
  • I have never lost my car in a parking lot.

    But one time about 10 years ago my mom, brother and I were shopping at Mervyn's (yes when Mervyn's was still around) and we went into the parking lot and were looking for our car for like 30 minutes, well turns out our car had been stolen. Eventhough it was so long ago I will never forget that. LOL Now if I meet my mom somewhere to go shoppping and when we get into the parking lot she can't remember where she parked I say "maybe it got stolen", she hates it. hehehe

  • I've never lost my car, but have a funny story.  When I was in high school I had a little Ford Probe, and another guy in my class did as well.  We found out by accident one day that the keys to our cars fit each other's cars - someone went out to his car during school to get a CD case and came back in with my CDs instead of his.  So one day I ran into this guy and a few friends at the mall, chatted and moved on.  When I went out to find my car, it was gone.  Turns out this guy thought it would be funny to go get in my car and move it from one side of the parking lot to the other.  Not cool.  I was nearly in tears thinking my car had been stolen.

  • I used to lose my car at Walmart quite frequently until I realized that the words on the outside of Walmart (Pharmacy, Photo, etc.) lined up pretty well with the aisles. So I'd just remember which word I was near.

    I did have my old car stolen once and I've got to say its a very confusing/lost feeling. My brain was going on overdrive questioning myself...Didn't I come right home after work? Didn't I park there? Did I go out after work and I don't remember? Why wouldn't I remember going out? Am I really sure thats where I left my car? And then once I finally accepted it was gone and called the police, I kept looking out the window for it, like it would just randomly come home.

  • I haven't lost my car before, but last week I couldn't find my way out of the parking garage.  Mind you I've been parking in the same spot everyday for the last 6 weeks.

  • I take the train to work every day from a station that's a park & ride - so you park and either walk to the platform or hop on a shuttle. Same thing when you return.

    I cannot tell you how many times I have not known where my car is. I hit the panic button to find it. I am not alone, I hear many other people doing the same thing.
