An incident on the way to work

Ok, little fun fact about Jesse. I probably leave my car windows down overnight at least once a week. Last night was that night. It becomes more of a problem when it gets cold outside because both the inside and the outside of the windshield frost up.

Anywho, so I saw one of my colleagues, Brittany, leaving her apartment this morning as I was defrosting my car (we live in the same complex). She gets in her car to go to work as I'm busy trying to make sure that I can see out of my car due to the aforementioned problems cause by my windows being down. As I'm pulling out to the street I see her WHITE car in front of me and notice that she has a Mississippi license plate that says "MISS DI".

In my head, I'm thinking, "hmmm, I didn't know Brittany was from Mississippi. A southern girl, I would never have guessed. I wonder if she really liked Princess Diana?"

We both drive through downtown Webb City, me being behind Miss Di the entire time. As usual, we both get stopped at a red light that I always get stuck on (Oronogo Rd for those in the WC area). I'm directly behind Brittany and I think I should just run up to her window real quick to say hello. So of course I do. I run out to do the ole jump-out-and-scare-you bit and bang on her window, shouting "hey Brittany! Good morning." trying to be funny. Haha. Well, turns out the joke was on me. The reason I didn't know that Brittany was from Mississippi was because that wasn't her car! Somehow during the time I was wiping off my windshield, she took off and another white car left around the same time as me, whom I mistook as Brittany for about 5 minutes.

So that leaves me standing there in the middle of the street banging on the window of a car that belongs to a mid-30s dental assistant (I assume dental assistant due to the kitty cat scrubs she was wearing), who looks terrified by the way. So I awkwardly apologize, "I'm so sorry. I thought you were my friend. Have a good day." And I have to do the walk of shame back to my car as the light turns green and I'm still standing in the road.
