My Brothers friend Chris had a couple of classic tales.

He once misplaced his car in a car park and was concerned it had been stolen until he found the correct parking spot. Some weeks later, during a night out, this incident was still being joked about and someone quipped “that’s your car Chris!” as a similar vehicle went past. After looking Chris yelled “THAT IS MY CAR!!” and began to sprint madly after it. Luckily, he realized just before reaching the car that one digit on the number plate was in fact different…...Even better, another time he left his Girlfriend in their white car and went to pay for the fuel after filling it up. While inside he bought a large Burger King hamburger and then went back outside and climbed into the car and proceeded to open his mouth wide to take a large bite. At this point he glanced over and realized there was a total stranger staring at him from the driving seat.

Turns out his Girlfriend had moved the car around the corner and an identical make and color of car had pulled up instead.

Sounds pretty much like humans then!

There is often something funny about a strident online comment that is obviously borne out of someone’s personal comedic frustration. In the comments about an early version of Farcry (or something similar) someone posted saying “…whichever Developer thought it was a good idea for the AI to chase an injured player RELENTLESSLY across the map!” Just gave me a vision of a deeply frustrated player limping for miles across the game map while a group of dim-witted AI enemies follow slightly behind taking pot shots at him! Talking of player frustration, reminds me once I was playing the online game Battlefield and was lurking in the bushes near an enemy base with explosives hidden next to the road. Along came an Anti-Aircraft vehicle whom I promptly blew up and then set up again. About 5 minutes later the same player (now Respawned) in the same vehicle came back, and was clearly looking intensely around and especially carefully at the road and the fern under which I had hidden m...
