When we moved from Virginia to Paris France, we were supposed to keep a low profile as Americans, as we were with the federal government. When the moving van parked outside our apartment in Paris to unload our furniture, the truck had a sign in HUGE letters saying: UNITED STATES VAN LINES. Well, there went that incognito thing.

My husband and I had just gotten married and we moved to a new town. Our movers kept telling us they would be there at a certain time, and they ended showing up at 3:30 in the morning. But the worst part, was my car needed to get to the garage because my husband said it was the water pump. So, I called a gas station that had certified mechanics. They came to tow it, and they said it would be a couple of days. So, 2 days later, I called the service station, and they didn't have my car. I just kept calling all the service stations for 3 days until I found my car. Duh?
