Here's an interesting fact;
In the entire stretch of buildings in which my company is located, there are only two people who drive the same car with the exact same color; me and some other dude.
We've never actually crossed paths but I am often amused to see where my car's identical twin would be parked by the time I get to work. I suppose the driver works somewhere near me as his car is frequently spotted in close proximity.
Today, I arrived late at work. Like after lunch sort of late. For those of you who know where I work, you'd know that getting decent parking at that time is virtually impossible and that was true for me. Desperate and very, very late, I parked...illegally. I've never gotten a traffic summon before and don't intend to start a trend but I was simply desperate.
Anyway, there I left my car in the middle of the makeshift parking space. I grabbed a speedy lunch and went indoors to punch my card which would inevitably send alarm bells ringing come paycheck day.
Much later, I decided to take a peek outside the window, full of hope there wouldn't be a long piece of paper stuck under my wind wiper. What did I find instead?
A car ... identical to mine ... of identical color ... parked directly next to mine.
Was this the driver's acknowledgement to me that only we drove the same car on the block? Did he think it was funny? Was it a joke? Well, I sure found it hilarious considering the ample illegal parking space which was available surrounding us plus an actual parking space in front of Old Town.
I found it so amusing that I just had to take a picture.
I should have left a friendly note on his wind shield before I left. Maybe we could have become friends. Maybe another opportunity will prop up and I can finally say hello! Of course, if he turns out to be some creepy dude...well, that's another story for another time.
