During Australian Christmas one of the famous experiences one has is major "bust ups" in shopping malls as people do last minute panic shopping. Apart from fights for the rare car spot people behave in funny ways in terms of improvised parking. Just thought I would share the 2022 edition of Australian Christmas shoppers parking badly

per these parking lots at least, seems there are way more sociopaths than are commonly counted.

I am literally frightened of christmas shoppers. One of the worst experiences happened to me at Chadstone shopping centre when I made the mistake of parking in a pram parking, I was subsequently followed by an angry asian driver who followed me all the way home (1hour away) in his 4WD because he wanted to tell me how angry he was that I was selfish to take a spot designated for prams.

The sign says nothing about "mothers". Anyway how do we know these people didn't come with prams? Because those vehicles aren't MPVs?

By the way, I for one could totally do without Christmas altogether.

Some of that looks like everyday parking where I am. Nvm that it gets worse in the snow.
