Code Pink's mom loses her car

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

You all probably know about Code Pink by now. She's one of the irregulars at the swamp who's a little wiggy in the wacky-woo. Get her and her mom in the store together and you get quite a show with Code Pink yelling at mom "Go away! You don't need to be following me! Go sit on the bench there until I'm done!"

Today Code Pink's mom showed up sans Code Pink. As I was doing one of my many cart runs today, she came up to me.

"I lost my car in the parking lot. It's a 2005 Chevy Cobalt. I'm so mad!"

I said nothing and kept pushing my carts in, because:

A. She said nothing about a color or license plate number, and I didn't ask because:
B. Code Pink's mom is nuts, and she gets shouty when she's riled up, and I didn't want her going off on me as she got herself more worked up about not being able to find her car,and
C. I had to get those carts back into the store ASAP.

Is she still there, wandering around aimlessly, looking for her car??

[Sandman]

Dude! Where's my car!?

[LillFilly]

Ah. Pretty sure it ended-up being 4-rows down from where she WAS SURE she parked!

[PepperElf]

either that or she took the bus and forgot

[NateTheChops]

Do they allow cats on the bus?

"You have 30 minutes to move your car."
"You have 10 minutes."
"Your car has been impounded."
"Your car has been crushed into a cube."
"You have 30 minutes to move your cube."

Something like that happened when my grandma was still in retail. A customer came in, bought something and left. A few minutes later, she came back in frantically screaming about how someone stole her car. They called the police, and halfway through the report, she said, "Oh, I just remembered! I drove my husband's car here!"

The police and the employees were not amused.

Mad Mike,

We had a guy do that too. He was too busy on his phone with his dealership, his lawyer, his wife, his bank and yelling at us for being useless to actually give us a DESCRIPTION of his car! Finally he took a breath and told us what kind of car it was

Yep, we found it 3-rows down. At least the police hadn't shown-up yet!

Though we did have the police come to do a report for a couple who were from out-of-state and had borrowed a friend's car, then came-out and found the car gone. And the car was really gone this time, they were so upset and trying to get ahold of their friend. And then they're friend comes swaggering up out of nowhere and tells them he came with a buddy and moved the car as a joke! The police read him the riot act, and I think the couple started looking for a better friend!
