I just didn't feel comfortable leaving my personal information with a total stranger, although I'll blog about personal information with total strangers but that's different...right?
Anyway, I'm in the store shopping, and shopping, browsing, and shopping some more then finally find my way to the check out stand, pay and leave.
As I exited the store I saw the same guy still soliciting his petition but looked the other way as not to make eye contact.
I walked straight to where my car should have been and low and behold it's gone. OK this is too weird. I push my cart all over the area where I thought I had parked my car...still no car.
My ice cream is starting to melt..
I went further down the parking lot but I knew it was too far because I specifically parked it close to the entrance.
Ice cream continues to melt.
Trying to stay composed and not look like a crazy person stalking the parking lot I keep looking.
I end up in the middle section of the parking lot and just as I'm getting ready to push the panic button I noticed a familiar rack on what looks like my car.
Yep sure enough that was it. Feeling relieved I hurried and put the melted ice cream along with the other groceries in the back then took a look at my surroundings.
My car was parked right next to the entrance but it was the middle entrance of Walmart.... right where I left it.
You see, I happened to exit a different set of doors. As for the petition guy, he switched places with another petitioner which gave me the impression I came out the same doors I went in.
Sound confusing? It is....or...maybe it's just me.

I've done that and totally been freaked out! I thought for sure it was stolen.
Oh my goodness, I needed a good laugh today and you just delivered. You really had me going for a minute, you see I have often wondered what I would do if someone stole my car. I was starting to hyper-ventilate.
LOL! I wish I could say I haven't lost my car.. but that would be a lie. I have indeed used the panic button to find it. I mean isn't that what's its for anyway? :O)~
Haha, you are so funny sista!! Just a little twilight zone moment!
Now that would have freaked me out completely! I am easily confused and disorientated! Glad this story had a happy ending as I thought for a moment your car had rolled away :-)
When I was younger I used to hear of people doing that and thought, geez, I'll never do that.
Totally have done that twice in the last couple of weeks :)
Oh, man. I can see myself doing exactly the same thing.
Oh that would have totally thrown me! I was worried that the petition guy did something to it.
Ha ha ha ha! This is too funny. Twilight zone-ish. I thought someone stole it at first, but then I thought this post would sound much more panicked if that had happened.
I don't like signing petitions unless I know the person.
ah yes, I am very familiar with that kind of story. I hate it when I GET LOST
oh, I love that you were so suspicious of him. love it.
Is it wrong that I was most concerned about the ICE CREAM in this story???? (hee hee). So glad you found your car - and hope the yummy goodies made it home safely!
Sounds totally like a day in my life.
Honestly I am so relieved. I could feel my blood pressure rising thinking your car got stolen! W.C.C.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! Walmart always confuses me with its 2 (or 3) entrances!
And those people who tell me to just hit the panic alarm if I've lost my car? Well, I can't hear the darn alarm, but I can follow the line of vision of all the people who are staring at the stupid car going off ;)
Oh my... you are patient. I would have dialed the panic button way before you. I am glad the car was still there. And hopefully your milk shake tasted good.
oh my gosh, that is too funny. you must feel silly -- kind of an episode from seinfeld, huh? but ice cream instead of a gold fish!
I was thinking that for a minute you were going to tell me creepy petition guy had stolen it.
That was funny...I have experienced it too and mu hub is just awful about remembering where he parks! ;D
That is funny! I can see why you would be confused. That petition guy threw you off! It's his fault!
hahaha it does happen to the best of us. Once i parked my car at the airport and forgot what floor I parked it on. It was awful.
No this does not sound crazy. It has happened to me, but I was to embarrassed to blog about it. There are times that I can't remember what door I parked by. I was happy when wal-mart numbered the rows. Now I just have to recall which number and wither the car is on the right or left side.
Been there, done that; but without the ice-cream and freaky petition guy!
That is the worst feeling in the world. The only thing worse is feeling as though one of your kids is missing. Glad it all worked out.
As for petition guy, he sounds a little suspicious.
Wooo! I totally thought your car had been stolen! **big sigh of relief**
Glad you found your car, I thought for sure that petition guy was helping people steal cars.
