Tell 3 stories, 2 of them true and one a lie. Try to guess which one isn't true!

Tonight within a few feet from each other, I saw the following:

A group of 7 tourists who did not speak a word of English attempting to read the owners manual of their rental car in order to change their flat tire, and screaming at each other because no one could figure it out until one man threw the jack at another and hit him in the head, and someone finally came to help them.

3 young women, also tourists in a rental car, attempting to parallel park in a spot too small for the car, but continually trying even after they set off alarms in the two cars next to them. When a man went up to the car to talk to them, they zoomed off and ran a red light, swerved and almost hit a pedestrian, and ended up with the car on the sidewalk.

4 teenagers (somewhat ghetto looking) on the Upper West Side walked into the outdoor table area of a restaurant, and went up to tables and started asking people if they were going to eat the free bread from the baskets. Then they pocketed the bread and ran off.

I'm going to guess the second one is untrue.

Nope, second one is true. Happened tonight around 11:30 at Columbus and 78th.

Changing a tire is pretty universal.

The tire changing also happened tonight at 78th and Columbus, 2 cars away from the parallel parking idiots.
The lie is the teens stealing bread. I'm sure it's happened but I didn't see it tonight!

Anyone else have 2 truths and a lie? Didn't anyone ever play this game in school or at camp??

My boyfriend had to do something like that in his acting class. he had to write/perform two monologues...one true, one not, and his classmates had to figure out which one was the true one based on how he performed them.
