LOL You must have been pretty drunk to have forgotten that you walked there. 😂

In my teens and early twenties, my friends and I went to lots of concerts. The Los Angeles Forum was a round arena surrounded by a huge parking lot. A couple times were so high and so anxious to get inside the arena that we forgot to notice the section we parked in.
When we came out, there were no landmarks and just a mass of cars. A couple times, we had to wait for the place to empty out a bit and then separate to go in search of the car. LOL

Once I went to a large mall. The outside was kind of zig zag shaped with many parking lots.
When I came out, the parking area and shape of the buildings looked like where I had parked. After looking around for quite a while, I told security that I thought my car had been stolen.
The guy drove me around in a golf cart thing and we found my car in a different, identical-looking, lot.
He said it happened all the time at that mall.

I'm a man. I have built-in internal GPS. And I actually pay attention to where I park.

This used to both amaze and frustrate my last girlfriend, who could lose her car on her own street, that I had no problem jumping in the car and driving somewhere, and never got lost and almost never needed the GPS.

Most men seem to have this ability (though not all do). It's kind of like how women have a thousand different words to describe the sleeves on a blouse or dress - when to men, they are just sleeves and not anything we concern ourselves with.

When people ask me for directions in Chinese, I tell them to take a photo of all their bus stops so they do not get lost. Some newcomers to Canada might forget what side of the road they should join to bus home.

I was spending the weekend visiting a friend who was going to college. I got really hammered one night and woke up the next day and did not remember where my car was.

I lost a car when I drove to a conference one time. I apparently never even got close enough for the remote to chirp it. Was just about to write it off as a loss but some horse cops I'd told about it found it then came back to tell me where it was.

Yeah, me and my did at a concert. Good God, that was a nightmare. But my favorite one was when my dad had just bought a new car and we took it to Wal-Mart and not only did we forget where we parked it, we also both forgot what it looks like. That was fun too.

Levin · Answer

Usually at work when I've had a long day and everyone wants a piece of me. The car park is very samey and I've been working there for 7 years, so sometimes I forget what level I'm on.

A car garage was quite confusing one time finding it, I had the gps app and found it but I couldn’t find the stairs I needed to get to it and could see it from the other level so that was frustrating. Another time years ago I was walking almost a mile trying to find the car in a Disney world parking lot

matchrestore · Answer

Never for that long, but I have walked out to where I parked the previous day, only to remember I parked on the other side of the building. Rarely more than one false start.
