Last week I had the following conversation with one of the women who now reports to me.
AB: Oh, you must have a mini-van too, you have the same keys as me. (My keys were sitting on my desk.)
Me: Yeah, I have a silver Town and Country just like half of the other people in the world.
AB: Silver sure is a popular color, I have one as well. Mine is silver except for a big section where the paint has worn off since I live on a dirt road.
I paused and connected the dots...I knew a silver mini-van with paint issues.
Me: The paint wouldn't be missing on the driver's side back bumper would it?
AB: Yeah, how did you know???
Well, I told her the story of when I thought someone had hit my van and realized it wasn't mine, but now have found it was hers.
We had a good laugh and she has forgiven me for scraping the paint off her car.
