A guy with some explaining to do...

Mon Aug 8,11:03 AM ET

ROME (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 Monday.

The couple, who were traveling with their 4-year-old daughter, pulled over for gas 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 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 210 miles north of Pesaro, Ansa said.

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

I know someone who did the same thing with their 12 year old daughter. They nearly had heart attacks before they got back to her. She was fine BTW.

And he never noticed that the constant nagging about his driving was suddenly gone? No sir, don't buy it.

He can forget about that, too.

Wow, some days sure do suck more than others. He's toast. He might as well just go get castrated.

My mother did that to my dad once - he was asleep in the back, under a pile of sleeping bags. She went in to pee, he woke up, went in to pee, she got back, glanced at the pile of blankets, figured he was still asleep, and drove off. Pre-cell phones.

I think she got two hours up the road, and tried to wake him up to drive - that was when she discovered he wasn't there.

Now a famous family joke.

I would hate to be him after he had to go back and pick her up.
