A case of mistaken identity and the mother of all coincidences

Bit of a Wednesday afternoon yarn.

I was filling up at Morrisons at Ilkeston last night minding my own business when the van started to shake. It wasn't windy and I couldn't work out what was going on, so I looked into the cab, and to my horror there was a massive bloke in the drivers seat. I left the nozzle in the filler raced around and asked the guy what he was doing in my van (whilst internally kaking myself). He looked at me like I'd gone out to lunch, then he had a closer look round, and a look of utter embarrassment came over his face. Turns out his van was in the next aisle and had got in mine by mistake after paying. Any way apologies duly accepted we had a bit of chat about what I thought of the T6 as he had bought a T5 in December, when I looked over at his van I said "Jesus that looks just like my old......wait a minute that IS my old T5!" Anyway turns out he loves it as much as I did, but our chat was cut short by a rather irritated cashier barking at me over the tannoy to continue filling up or replace the nozzle.

Small world innit!
 
Brilliant story!

My mate did that once, came out of off licence a and got in passenger seat of car parked behind.
 
Weird to have someone climb in your van, even stranger that they are driving around in your old one.
 
My heart was trying to get of my chest, I thought I was about to become another car jacking statistic, especially when he glared at me when I asked him what the **** he was doing. Can't tell you how relieved I was when the penny dropped, and that he was a genuinely nice bloke. Seeing my old T5 just capped off what was one of the weirdest experiences of my life!
 
mate, I hate to burst your bubble but I can beat that hands down without breaking a sweat.

I'll start a new thread for it though and post the link here lol

Must have been scary at first though mate!
