The next time you goto a shopping mall/hypermarket.

You may noticed that there is 1-2 cars/family which are willing to stop at one corner of the road and wait in their cars. No signal, nothing. Just waiting,with the engine running (and yes...carbon monoxide exposure, happy breathing them doh.gif ). God only knows how long they are inside their cars...

While others go round and round and round...to find someone who wants to leave the shopping mall.

Which one is more effective...
Or ....which one is a smarter move (leaving the other option, obviously a dumber move)

You do the math smile.gif

For me,if I were to walk back to my car, I would try to confuse the stalker, who is following me. I.e ...He thinks my car is on this lane..so I continue to walk on the same lane...thinking that 'my' car is nearby....until...I walk into another lane.. laugh.gif icon_rolleyes.gif

sorry, but then, y shud u do that... It's frustrating when it's hard to find a parking lot, then, with the hope that you might end the frustration, you only cause more. I shall pray hard that I do not come across ppl like you in my town.

In such situations, I'll just drive around for a few rounds, then stop somewhere and wait...

Cheers.

just wait and be patient, like fishing....sometimes its fast, sometimes it takes ages...I hate it when some people just don't care when someone is waiting for the parking....I had a situation where someone actually got back to the car, take his own sweet time to stick a sticker on his window and readjust his sticker a few times....god, Lowyat Plaza has a 15 minutes exit policy, i know its ur own right but there is something called courtesy.....

usually i will get the parking slot .....because have memorized those sweet spots where people usually miss.......

but if I do not find one.....will drive around slowly......and will only stop as last resort......

things I will NEVER do when looking for parking:-

1) stealing other peoples parking when they are already waiting for the spot

2) parking haphazrdly or causing other people to have a hard time parking or coming out from the spot

3) double/triple park

4) WILL NEVER EVER park at the disable/special people's spot.

5) parking at the sides/wall when there are no parking boxes......idiots like this got a lot at Jusco maluri....and Low Yat......

6) park at those places that block the junction and forces other people to drive to the end or other junctions....a lot in Mines.....

7) park at those spots that are not for cars, usually marked with yellow boxes......a lot in Jusco maluri....especially at the doors.....these places are marked yellow boxes because make it easier for customer to push the trolley out......If I am having bad day, I will just push the trolley and make deep scraches on the car from back to front.......mad.gif whistling.gif

8) I will not stop waiting for the parking spot because if every one starts doing this, it will cause jam very badly.....parking area is where you do not like to be jammed....usually the parking area in malaysia is one way, meaning the road usually only one car can drive through smoothly....parking will only make other people trying their best to squeeze past you.....thus that's why it is my last choice to stop and wait for parking......only wait at those places where 2 cars can drive through smoothly....

I always hate people taking advantage of disable parking lots...they are not disable yet they utilise the parking spot..this happen frequently in Subang Parade..

I prefer Midvalley..the guards block the disable parking spot and only allow disable people to park there rclxms.gif

It happened to me once,
I already put my right signal, awaiting for the car to come out.

Then this OXYMORON old lady,from across the 'junction',which came later than me,with a car load of "woman gang", just drove right in!! (when the car came out) ! (as though she dont give a damn about my right-turn signal)

I was so mad, I honked at her until the cows come home..and gave her my international sign language! mad.gif
