Car park fight!
Wow. What a crazy day so far.
Today Matt had to do the final patent lodgement (yes he has an invention and is lodging a patent but I'll write about that someday in future when it's all more solid) so there was plenty of stress and rushing around to get things double checked and printed before the post office closed at noon. At this stage it was about 15 minutes until the post office would have closed.
He was about to drive off to the post office which is in a giant shopping centre when I realised that the Christmas parking would be crazy so I offered to drive him and wait in the car to save him having to find a park. It turned out to be a VERY clever idea because as we approached the shopping centre you could see that about 3 blocks from the shopping centre every street was solid with parked cars.
We drove into the car park and I was waiting in the car for Matt. I saw this guy waiting for this other guy's park and when the parked guy drove off this other jerk backed into his park and stole it. It was painfully obvious that the first guy had been waiting for the park. Anyway, the first guy gets out of the car and yells at the jerk who stole his park. The Jerk gets out of his car... there is more yelling and then the jerk HEADBUTTS the first guy. o_O I don't think he hit him too hard cause the first guy backed away but still.. WHAT A PSYCHO!!!
There was a bit of a scuffle but the first guy sort of backed off. There was a lot of yelling. Then I had to move my car and missed what happened next.
Eventually shopping centre security came out and the police were called. I drove back around cause I was still waiting for Matt and I told them I'd seen it all. They got my witness statement. Even though heaps of other people had seen it happen I guess I was the only one still there.
I guess it's good that there will be some kind of justice but at the end of the day all I have to say is...
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!!
If getting a park to get your last minute Christmas presents is worth assaulting someone for then what the hell does that say about what Christmas has become?
People need to CHILL OUT!
I'm also really glad I drove Matt because maybe if I hadn't he could have been the one who had his park stolen. He was already rather stressed about patent lodging.
It would not have been good. lol
