Later that evening, everyone gathered around when a massive truck drove itself into the showroom—complete with a note on the dashboard saying, ‘Sorry for the inconvenience, please return me after work.’

Curious, he pulled over and asked if everything was alright. The truck replied, 'Just wanted a ride into town!' Turned out it belonged to a neighbor who’d forgotten his keys at home. Moral of the story? Even trucks get lost sometimes.
