Filly's Frolic #21

I'm not sure how long it's been since I'd taken my car to this particular workshop for a service, but it had obviously been a while. I had made a booking the previous night and dutifully drove there the next morning to drop the car off. Walking into the workshop office, I thought to myself that it looked different. I pressed the bell and waited for someone to come out. Looking around I remembered that there had been a picture of Brocky's Torana hanging on the wall which didn't appear to be there any more. I looked around wondering if it had been moved and sure enough there was a picture on the wall behind me.Yet, something still seemed odd about it.

Some time, several presses of the bell and a gentle shout of "Hello?" later, someone came out of the workshop.

"How can I help you darl?", he asked.

"I'm here to drop my car off for a service", I replied dangling my key in the air.

"That'd be next door", he replied gesturing to his right.

"Oops, sorry!" I suddenly realised my mistake as the service workshop and this workshop both had the same name and were part of the same building but had different office entrances. I smiled and backed out of the office.

"No worries darl", he replied with a grin, probably thinking how ditsy I was....

I scurried next door as another gentleman saw me coming as he was walking towards the office.

"I'm here to drop my car off for a service?", I asked a little hesitantly dangling my key in the  air.

"No problem. Come in.", he replied as we walked into the office. This looked more familiar and there was the picture of the Torana on the wall! 

"I went next door by mistake. Oops!", I smiled in embarrassment. He laughed.

"You were probably standing there for ten minutes waiting for someone to come out."

"Actually, I was!" It probably wasn't an unusual occurrence. "The silly thing is, I've been here before too."

He smiled again. 

"I had trouble finding your record because it was under Ex Why".

"Oh!" Suddenly I realised that the last time I had been here, I hadn't changed the name on my driver's license yet.

"Is that your hubby?", he asked by way of an explanation. I didn't offer one.

"It's under Filly now", I replied chirpily. He looked at me hesitantly as I returned his gaze. I'm not sure what he was thinking, maybe he thought he might have put his foot in his mouth by asking the question to a lady that had been divorced. I don't know, but it didn't matter. We changed the details and confirmed that the rest of the contact details were correct. As I left, I couldn't help but giggle at the hilarity of the situation. Not only had I gone into the wrong place at first, I had also forgotten that I was listed there under a previous name. In the end though, everything was sorted and there wasn't the slightest problem. I can't complain about that.
