A funny thing happened exactly 2 weeks ago, almost to the exact hour. :p

I was with my 3 year old son and my sister-in-law and we went shopping. It was hot that day and I know we were running the A/C. We were in her car and I was the passenger. When we got in the car after shopping for 30 min. or so, she turned the key started the car and heat was coming out of the vents instead of cool air, well the temp nob was turned to heat. We laughed it off and assumed my sister-in-law or I bumped it even though you can't bump the nob you have to physically turn the nob.

Today I had to run my sick 3 year old to the Dr. and coincidently happened to be a warm day also and around the same time of 2 weeks ago. When we got in the car and I turned the key to start my vehicle to leave the Dr.s office (a different vehicle from my the one we were in 2 weeks ago) I felt heat coming out and notice the nob had indeed been turned to hot again. I was driving this time and so I know that it could not have been bumped or turned this time.

I was just wondering as all this is simply fun and games and no harm is done, is this just a strange coincidence (her vehicle is a Toyota and mine is a GM Minivan) or am I just nuts at thinking this is something to even merit any attention on my part?

Thanks for any insight on this little nothing that just doesn't seem to leave the back of my head.:rolleyes:

That's almost as unusual as the guy who's chair kept eating his jacket. This happened in two different cars, so I guess you should look for a paranormal explanation instead of calling NPR's Car Talk (although those guys would get a huge kick out of this!). ;)

Frankly, I can't imagine how you might explain this. Maybe you were assigned a new guardian angel and she just got off duty in the Bahamas, so she's cold all the time? Well, third time's the charm. If it happens again, do let us know.
