I remembered a non-driving one, but still a brain fog one.
I was at a flyball tourney and it was first thing in the morning. A morning person, I am not.
There was a guy with a bunch of pastries and coffee set up right outside the door. The coffee was free and he was giving it out.
For some reason, I interpreted that to mean that EVERYTHING was free. I picked up a pastry, opened it, and ate it while continuing to chat with him.
He dropped SEVERAL HINTS that I could pay up any time. but there were no price tags and he was way too subtle for that time of day. I finished my pastry, thanked him and walked off.
Later, much later, it hit me and I ran back to where the booth was. But he was gone, packed up, and I never saw him again.
I can't imagine how crazy I must have looked. It makes me blush to think of it today, almost ten years later. I have never confessed this to anyone, it's so embarrassing still. Dude, if you are out there somewhere - I will gladly pay you for the pastry, with interest!
