let the christmas madness commence.

 I thought I might pop into the shops quickly on my way from one meeting to another today and pick up a present. I try to avoid taking Rohan on these kind of things because as soon as he hears a christmas carol he undergoes a jekyll and hyde transformation from good natured science geek to raving psychopath. I thought I'd duck into central square carpark and do a quick in and out mission. 
Mistake number one was it was lunchtime. 
Mistake number two was it was raining and windy therefore increasing likelihood of all round craziness from people. 
Mistake number three was to go to the roof carpark. 
I saw a park one from the end of row and I zipped round a corner into it. I will admit now I didn't see the indicator on in the ute that was in the row - I thought they were driving out. 
That was mistake number four. The driver went mental - her horn was beeping, she was swearing (my lip reading is pretty good and I definitely made out 'Fuck you'), she was waving her hands in the air in exasperation. Not a happy lady.  
So I thought, oops, that was genuinely my mistake, she can have it. 
I reversed out of the park and then she goes crazy again. But this time it's a whole new kind of crazy, now she's waving like an old friend, my lip reading makes out 'thank you' instead of 'fuck you' followed by more crazy waving. Okay lady - your hormones are out of control. Its still over 3 weeks till xmas. Take a freaking chill pill.
I headed back into the main part of the car park and someone was up on the ledge in their car doing some paris type parking as they tried to get in?/out? of a park. I decided that this is too much for me to bear on an empty stomach.
 Clearly an early am assault is required. 
Note to self - start christmas shopping in January next year.
