I was driving for one of the big companies at the time, the only difference in the trucks was the number on the fender. I parked mine, went into the truckstop, ate, or whatever I did, and walked back into the lot. Walked up to the first red KW T6 I saw, opened the door and jumped in, and closed the door. I think the first words out of my mouth were, WTF!! The curtain was drawn between the sleeper and cab, a different CB in the overhead, and that wasn't my logbook on the right seat. As soon as the words left my mouth, I hear "Can I help you?" Scared the living dog snot out of me, luckily I didn't catch something up along side my head. Then, I realized, this isn't my truck. I very quickly apologized to the guy, and since we were with the same company, we got a laugh out of it. I looked out the right window, and THERE was MY truck. He'd parked next to me. I'm glad he was the kind of guy he was, I could have gotten hurt!

Seems like I recall them, Freightliners? I know at one time they didn't have very many different key cuts, and it was common that your key could fit another Freightliner.

No, not the ones I was thinking. There was someone that had crossed black cannons, can't recall who that was. I liked those 9400's, they were a nice handling truck, and good visibility.

Haha, I remembered another one - along the lines of exiting the wrong side of a mall.
I went for a job interview years ago, and it was at a large professional building. The parking garage wrapped around 3 sides of the building. I walked out of the elevator room and was like WTF, where's my Mustang? It's been stolen! Then I remembered the garage wrapped around, so I hit the lock button on the fob twice for a horn honk. I heard it. Turns out I was two floors and 90 degrees away from it - oops!
Took me a while to find the car, getting off at each floor and trying two parts of the garage, listening for the honk.

I had my car in for an oil change a few months ago. The dealership was so busy that they lined the finished cars up outside with the keys in them for the people who were waiting. As I was going to pay my bill. I see an old lady load her things onto my front passenger seat and then go around to get in the drivers seat. Her car was sitting beside mine. It was a different model in crappy condition, but the same color. If I hadn't stopped her, she would of probably drove away saying to herself, "God this dealership is really good. My car is like new again, runs fantastic, has a full tank of gas, and they even gave me a subscription to SiriusXM radio."
