Another spelling mistake on the Tube

Internet use makes it impossible to keep British English and American
English distinct in my head.
Here's one I heard the other day in a transport context:
Q: Do you mind if I drive your car
A: Yes (and an implied 'so go ahead')
Whereas in British English it would probably mean "yes I do mind, please
don't even think about sitting in the driving seat".
