Man forgets wife at gas station

Monday, August 8, 2005; Posted: 10:36 a.m. EDT (14:36 GMT)

ROME, Italy (Reuters) -- A Macedonian man left his wife at an Italian service station and only realized he had driven off without her six hours later, news agency Ansa said.

The couple, who were travelling with their 4-year-old daughter, pulled over for petrol in the coastal city of Pesaro as they were heading back to their home to Germany.

After filling the tank, the husband drove away -- without noticing that his 30-year-old wife, originally from Georgia, had got out of the car to go to the toilet.

The woman, who had no money or documents with her, contacted the police who eventually traced her husband to Milan, some 340 km (210 miles) north of Pesaro, Ansa said.

The husband told police he had not missed his wife because she always sat in the back of the car with their daughter.

If my husband did that he would more than in the doghouse.

He'd be in more than the dog house!

Yeah but I bet it was a quiet six hours..... JOKING---JOKING

A husband like that doesn't DESERVE a doghouse.

Surely the man must have known something was AMiss since the "backseat driving" had stopped for a while! j/k

Of course it was.. but then he should have noticed she was gone!

I see nothing wrong? What did the husband do that was wrong? He went back to go get her..

LOL.. Look at the good side WX

I love the responses a thread like this generated. Let's just say I'm too vocal to forget AND I'm the navigator.....I read the Triptiks! LOL

I thought for sure 30 minutes would have gone by, not 6. Wouldn't you all love to read what happened when this couple got home? Yikes!!!

M.

This reminds me of the time my mom left my little bro at the grocery store when he was like 6. He was kind enough to take back the cart, but she didn't notice that he wasn't back in the van yet and drove off without him. My sis and I got a kick out of keeping quiet for like 30 seconds, then finally gave in and told mom when we saw him bawling his eyes out. He has never let her forget that - although I don't think she possibly could after seeing his face once getting back in the van. Of course, less than a minute isn't quite so bad as 6 hours, but still.

That is quite a funny incident, he'll be lucky to still have a marrage after that

My guess is he knew it after about 10 minutes, but decided to give it a few hours in hopes she would be in a weakened state and not yell as loud.

Sometimes D-I-V-O-R-C-E is a good thing.

I would never have to worry about that problem.

My wife would never use a service station bathroom. Ever.

On the other hand, I could drive away and leave her at a Wendys!

At least she wouldn't starve to death waiting for me to realize what I had done.

The bigger question would come shortly thereafter....

Was it a slip of the mind or wasn't it?

I am sure that is the resolution to all marital problems.

I am suprised that you'd agree with the other 60-70% of divorcees

OK I'm clueless....what did he do wrong?
