What are you doing?

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet....

A car with another driver is not your lift!

We all had a good laugh at work today. A colleague lives locally and I often pass him on the way to work and if I see him I stop and give him a lift, as does another member of staff. This morning he was walking down Greenleach Lane when a car stopped just ahead of him, he assumed it was one of us and so he waved through the window then opened the rear door and threw his laptop in, "What are you doing?" the woman yelled. It became a surreal moment where he still thought it was a familiar car and a colleague, "What are you doing?" the hysterical woman yelled again as she speeded off down the road skidding and screeching in panic. He could only watch in amazement as the car and his laptop disappeared in the dust.

The laptop had all his freshly typed reports on...aaaargh! He walked on to school, a bag lighter, then phoned the police. He could see the awkwardness of his situation and he wanted his laptop back. Fortunately, the hysterical woman had gone to the police too and handed his bag in. The police then came to school to return the laptop and chat to my colleague. We were all chortling about it all day.
