Don't get between a fisherman & a tackle shop
Just a rant about the dopey woman that saw me coming the opposite way through the car park at Bluewater Morley today but decided to pull out of the parking spot she was already in so she could park on the road through the car park instead, blocking all traffic from accessing parking from the Galleria end. She saw me coming but pulled right in front of me & stopped anyway. To make matters worse, she got out her car & went into the gym. This behaviour doesn't fly with me & I had nowhere else to park so I stopped 10cm from the front of her car & after about 30 seconds of her not reappearing I got out & stuck my head in the door she disappeared through asking her "Are you going to move your car or what? You're blocking the road". I went back to my car without waiting for a response figuring she would just come out, I would back up a bit to let her get out easily & then continue on with my day. Not so. Instead I got a rude "Get out of my effing way so I can get past. You're blocking my way". This again didn't sit well with me so I simply looked at my Patrol, looked at her Holden Caprice, smiled & said "No worries love, just for that attitude, I'm not moving, you can back up & go around me". There was space for her to get past because she was right at the end of the row of diagonally parked cars. Those same cars were blocking me from getting around her at all. She didn't like this, told me to go get effed & sat down in her car & started texting or something stating that she wasn't going to move. Two can play that game I thought, so I did the only thing I could... I left my car right where it was, locked it up & went shopping in Bluewater. Don't try to out wait a fisho that's in a tackle shop, it just isn't going to happen. When it was all said & done the cops ended up rocking up, getting both sides of the story, grabbing my details then telling me, "She's wasting our time as well as yours mate. We'll deal with her now. Have a nice day". Last I heard she was screaming at the two cops at the top of her lungs some crap about them letting me go when I had blocked off the road way. She had the kind of self important attitude that makes me think she might have ended her conversation with cops a few dollars lighter in her bank account.
Yes I could of reversed up a bit, pulled back out onto the road then re-entered the car park from the other end but seriously, why the hell should I have to? I was all of 10m from this woman, coming the opposite way when she made eye contact with me, clearly saw which way I was going, then pulled across in front of me & stopped in the road anyway. I did briefly contemplate simply hooking up the tow strap & moving her wether she like it or not but I thought that probably wouldn't end so well for me with the coppers, so thought better of it. Inconsiderate bottom dwellers do my head in. Rant over, hope it brings a smile to a face or two, even if you think I was in the wrong (get ya head read
if ya do).

Yeah legendary effort, you
Yeah legendary effort, you must have laughed all the way home. My mate used to park horizontally behind cars that had taken up more than one bay and go shopping. He's about 6'3 and 110kg so it was always funny watching the angry driver turn submissive in quick time.

Yeah I've been having a good chuckle about it all & the people in the store had a good chuckle about it all to. None of us could work out what she was thinking.

Reminds me of the jaguar
Reminds me of the jaguar that parked in the middle of 2 car spots at Bunnings on Saturday....the driver went in to grab something and there was another person in the front passenger seat but the engine was still going...
