We're at liberty to go to Chadstone any day of the week, but Elle and I chose last Saturday afternoon, in the lead up to Christmas on a day of severe weather warnings and possible flooding to head to the self-promoted 'fashion capital'.
Naturally, the car park was hideous.
I told Elle that in these circumstances, the best strategy is to stop just inside one of the lanes and sit it out until you spot someone leaving. Driving around doesn't work as you continuously 'just miss' a spot.
So we sat.
An Audi 4WD pulled right up behind me so I popped my indicator on. I could see the driver huffing in my rear vision mirror as she pulled around me - but didn't expect the spray:
You can't stop there! She screamed at me. Wow.
So taken aback, my instant response was to yell back You can!
You can't! She yelled again,
You can! I screeched back.
So Grade 4 - it was actually pretty funny.
Meanwhile, some people had returned to their car just in front of me and we parked.
As we walked over the next lane way, the Audi was approaching in the slow line of traffic - still looking for a spot. My gaze held steady but the driver was deliberately busying herself with something in the centre console while her young daughter was left to give us a filthy look.
I hope they have a very happy Christmas!
