"It's a one way system so I will just go backwards down it"

Our family have quite a particular sense of humour. My Dad is one is one of those people in my life who never ceases to make me laugh. It can be his sarcasm, his 'Dad dancing' or him just being plain stupid, but something always cracks me up. I thought it would be selfish of me not to share this with you. Even if it just puts a smile on your face, at least I will have shared a fraction of the comedic effect it has on me.

Yesterday, me and the fam went shopping to buy me a new car. Unfortunately mine is literally falling apart and I have come to the conclusion that a car that you can only get in by opening the passenger side first and manually pulling up the driver's side lock from the inside and that is also two different shades of green and has rustic orange patches needs replacing.

So, we took a road trip out to Birmingham to check out all the garages. We soon came across a large showroom with lots of cars lined up on the outside of the building. As Dad pulled in, he tried to turn left but noticed that it was a one way system.

I think Dad thought he was cheating the system when he swung the car right and decided to reverse down the one way road. When I asked him what he was doing his reply was, "It's a one way system so I will go backwards down it." It was at this point that the car erupted with laughter.

However this was amplified when we looked left and saw the showroom had completely clear glass window running all the way down the side of the building. Therefore, everyone in the showroom could see our car reversing down the one way road!

Maybe it was one of those 'you had to be there' moments, but I was there and it was absolutely hilarious! Apologies if my story was a bit of anti-climax for you but if something makes me laugh, I like to share it with people.

So there you have it, a story shared.
