When you need to go somewhere, do you normally drive or do you call a cab/Uber? Like in Abu Dhabi, since we have 2 cars, it is just easier (and more convenient) to drive. But back in Malaysia, we prefer taking Uber nowadays. Maybe it is because of the crazy traffic jams and difficulties in getting car park space.
But anyway, here I want to talk about Parking Luck. The person with one of the worst parking luck is my husband. This goes way way back, maybe even back to the times when he started driving. When we started dating, he pointed it out to me and I was like, that's just coincidence. But as the time goes along, he really is kinda kesian in the car parks.
See, whenever we are parked and say we need to take time to like gather up our stuffs before heading to the mall/hotel/meeting/bank (or if we have just bought lots of stuff and are taking our time to arrange it in the car), there WILL always be someone who will come and park next to us, or someone who will be leaving the car park space next to us.
Ok fine, then say if we park like far away from every one else. And I mean F A R . There WILL always be someone who will come and park next to us! I mean like seriously, there are so many other car park spaces! Because you know when you get to the mall really early in the morning, it is always very easy to find car park space but we never really park like right at the mall door step. And still, aunty, why you come park next to us?
Another evidence is say we are done for the day at the shoplot, and we want to leave the car park, there will always be some activity going on behind or next to us. Maybe some truck decides the best place to pull up to unload goods is behind our car. Maybe some uncle who needs to go to the bank decides the best place to double park is behind our car. Maybe some makcik decide that the place to catch up with another one of her makcik friend is next to our car. Or maybe some abang/kakak will decide the best place to stop and look at the phones is BEHIND OUR CAR.
You want more evidences? Ok, some family with lots of family members (father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, children, maids and sometimes some furry friends), will decide the best place to park is next to Boo's car. Whether or not we are in the car, that's not the point here. Because they will always take long time to get off their car, or get into their car when we are in our car.
Sometimes it is rather mind boggling as like, is there something about Boo's car or Boo himself that attracts people to want to park next to him? It is hilarious sometimes as it is so predictable. Like just the other day, we went to academy and then IKEA for lunch and then after that we were to go for tennis. So Boo decided to change from his work clothes into sports attire in the car. And right then and there, 3 families decided to finish shopping and get to their cars at the same time. Seriously?
So Boo had to wait for quite a while for them to finish and go, and then when he thought he could finally change, LOL, a car pull up just right next to us! So, no one managed to change in the car that day. Boo had to change in the toilets near the tennis courts.
So yeah, that's Boo's parking luck. I don't really have such luck as I give them a deathly stare if they dare come near my car. Lol. Serious. Lol. Kidding lah.
Do you have such luck as well?
