You won't believe what happened to my mom and I today. It was kind of funny but also really sad. This afternoon I was out delivering newspapers for a route I do every Sunday and my mom was helping me. We were on a block where it's all apartments and I was delivering the papers while my mom was slowing driving along. I walked up a sidewalk to an apartment when this old lady walks past me and just quietly says "hi" to me. I then turned around and noticed she was getting into our car, while my mom was still in it!! I was like "what the heck?!". My mom was trying to politely tell her that we're just delivering papers and we're not picking her up.

She still sat down anyway in the passenger seat and said "they were supposed to come at 4:30!" whoever was picking her up. I went up to the car and said we're just delivering papers. She says more stuff, which I don't remember and said that we had the same car she did and it's in the back. But if someone was picking her up WHY would they use her car?! (it's also a scary thought that she's out driving) FINALLY, she got out of the car and eventually her ride came which was nothing like our car- it was a van!

It was really scary too because if she just went up to our car and sat in it who KNOWS when some rapist or murderer could pull up in front of her house and she'll think "Oh, my ride's here!" Not good at all. I'm pretty sure she had Alzheimers or else she would've be getting into strange people's cars, WITH them in it.

thats the funniest thing ive heard all day

Hollow · 02-20-2005, 10:21 PM

yeah it was probably due to alzheimer's or a related syndrome. it is kind of funny but i would have been bloody scared.

vienna waits · 02-20-2005, 10:30 PM

freaky.. My parents took this young woman home about twenty minutes away once after she knocked on our door desperate for a ride. I wasn't home and was shocked when my parents told me what they had done.

Michael [hXc] · 02-20-2005, 10:32 PM

thats both amusing and upsetting. amusing in that the lady proceeded to welcome herself into your car. and the sad part is that she would have Alzheimer's or a related disease.

vienna waits · 02-20-2005, 10:41 PM

Oh speaking of alzheimers, my mom works at a nursing home and the floor that she is on is full of people who have that. She said that they have to watch some of the women because they walk around without any clothes on.

Michael [hXc] · 02-20-2005, 10:43 PM

they walk around naked? how old are they? not a sexy sight, let me say that

that really made me laugh!

MsOrange · 02-20-2005, 10:55 PM

that's sad

one time in the Ingles (grocery store) parking lot, I was just running in to pick up something so I didn't lock my car.. I come out to find a man sitting in my car trying his best to turn off my lights, which weren't even on. He said he just knew i'd come out w/ a dead battery... I just told him thank you and sent him on his way. It was funny, but also sad. He was just trying to help, but it scared me to death when I came back out and there was this old guy sitting in my car.

I don't find that funny at all. People with Alzihmers tend to lose their
way often and sometimes they out to be missing. Alzihmers is nothing
to laugh about. I once had an elderly neighbor and she must of
had Alzihmers I think because she was over 90's years old and she
would tell me that there were days would she'd forget to even bathe
or even eat a meal,if she did she only ate toast bread with jelly.
It was sad too because if everytime we had bad weather she
would say I just know 1920 was going to be so bad,And the year was 1995.

oh my god, nursing homes are hilarious. we went to one in 7th grade to sing christmas carols and that was one hell of an experience. throughout the time we were singing this lady who could barely hear kept yelling out random things like "WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS BOX?" i really tried to be polite and ignore it but i almost fell over laughing, i couldn't help it. there was more funny stuff that went on too.

alzheimer's isn't anything to joke about, but what she did was funny regardless whether she had a disorder.

my Granddad had Alzheimer's, it was so bad that he couldn't remember who I was for the entire year before he died - I went to visit him at least twice a week and it was heartbreaking. He had to have a bracelet on his leg so he wouldn't escape from the hospital - he thought he was at his office and all the nurses were his secretaries (he'd always try to give me their pens and staplers as presents when I'd try to leave). Before he was put in the hospital he had gone missing for several days at a time a couple of times - one time the police found him wandering around in the middle of a highway (he said he was going out to buy a pie and got lost). He was a very funny guy and a joy to be around, but it was very painful to watch him fall apart like that.
