It was in a Kohl's parking lot. I discovered that I had gone out the wrong side of the store from where I went in. The parking lots on both sides looked identical. And in the store, the areas around the doors were very much alike. A panic feeling. I see an advertisement on tv every now and then for a little device you talk into and push a button and it plays back what you have just said. Shows a person recording where they have parked so they can remember later.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816001950084090576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655771233639274287.post-78712690711955132272012-05-12T05:16:40.561-07:002012-05-12T05:16:40.561-07:00I always park in the same row.

If my 22 year old daughter is with me and I "test" her by saying, where did we park? I notice she has no clue either especially if we were talking as we exited the car.

When I exit a store I automatically turn left and if I can't remember my specific spot, I just start looking along the top half of the rows. It works for me. : )<br />If the parking lot has those row markers, just take a photo of it as you enter the store.Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655771233639274287.post-8777742052792696992012-05-11T21:07:07.044-07:002012-05-11T21:07:07.044-07:00Just happened to me today.
