Woman walks 100 km home in huff
2004-06-15
LUEDENSCHEID - It was all a terrible mistake, but good testimony to her physical fitness: A German woman walked 100 kilometres home after she thought her husband had stranded her at a highway rest stop. Police in the central German city of Luedenscheid said Tuesday that the woman, returning to the family car at a highway rest stop, failed to find her husband or car. She thought her husband had simply left her there.
I'm thinking it must not have been a "happy" drive.
So she walked 100 kilometres back home, a trek lasting some 15 hours.
Now that is one pissed off Frau.
In the meantime, the husband and son had alerted police, who were just about to start searching for her with a helicopter when she showed up.
"Honey, I'm so happy you're....Ouch, that hurt!"
And it was all a mistake: The woman's husband was simply off helping another motorist repair his car at another part of the highway rest stop, explaining why the wife had failed to find him.
Ok, all you married guys, is this explaination gonna help him? Didn't think so.

#11  Carl,
I'm impressed at her rate of travel. About 3 decades ago, as a Boy Scout, we would accomplish 20 miles or maybe a little more on a day's hike.

#4  In my family it was the other way around, dad would get tired of listening to everyone's helpful hints and say the hell with it you drive Louise I'll see ya in awhile.

He'd park the car and hand over the keys and clear datum.

#3  If she assumed he had just left her, then perhaps he's done it before.
