I can’t believe she got into a car with a stranger to drive two hours away, that she met at a gas station. And just gets out of the car without letting him know? Totally his fault he was letting her sleep.
This is why serial killers were so prolific back then.
At the Oregon Trail Museum there are copies of people's journals: Today we forgot to check on Susan before we started out. When we stopped for the day, the folks who picked her up brought her by. >

Phew, thank God she didnt board the wrong wagon into Canada. >

What’s this reference? I can remember it but can’t place it lol >

Its a "kid gets on the wrong bus" reference. >

And is that a reference to something specific, or? >

Almost happened to me once. Long story short, I was walking out to what I believed was my plane in Nairobi (or Kampala? Can't remember, it was a while ago) and only through casual conversation with my seat neighbour did it transpire that I was headed towards the wrong continent. >

Australia? >

I honestly can't remember. The story grows vaguer with each retelling. Age – the final frontier.
In any case, I actually managed to get off the plane before it got off the ground, so I never actually went. A more adventurous part of me regret that I didn't simply shut up and let destiny take me for a ride. >

Most bullshit I've ever heard in my LIFE. Tell us the story. >

That actually happened about forty years ago to my parents' best friends.
The couple were driving back from the beach at night. She was sleeping in the back seat. He stopped for gas and a bathroom break, returned to the car and drove away.
He didn't realize that his wife had, in his absence, gone to the bathroom as well. So he hadn't bothered to look.
Two hours later, he pulls into the driveway, looks in the back seat and freaks out. Good thing that, five minutes later, a strange car pulls into the driveway and his wife gets out.
It took him years to live that down.
EDIT: For clarity's sake, she got a ride with another gas station customer who was driving the same direction. >


It took him years to live that down.

It's hilarious that the wife was blameless in this situation.
