I am sure it is a normal scene that we see in a shopping mall. We tend to see people slip out their mobile phone with camera function to capture a snapshot of the parking bay. Yes, a snapshot of where they’ve parked their cars.
It can get pretty confusing for someone who is not familiar with the parking lot in a building or location (esp. when the mall has many entrances and levels). This person can get lost easily or cannot locate his/her car. This often happens in shopping malls. And, sad to say it mostly happens to women (sorry lar, had to sabo my own species. But it is true mah). Let me see, how about I give a ratio of women: 80% and men: 20%?
Women tend to go to shopping malls more frequent than men. Normally, we will go in a group of the same kind and will be busy yakking away from the car to the mall. It is in our genes that we tend to not notice or remember where we parked after having yum char sessions or meals; and the more this happens after a crazy shopping spree.
Another reason is also simply because we are “direction sense-less”. Majority of our sense of direction is a bit out. We tend to rely on men on this. =) Sad and embarrassing, but true.
For me, what I normally do is to punch in the parking lot number, which block, which level and what was the first store I see when I walked out from the parking into my mobile phone. Just in case, me being the "big-headed prawn" - where is my car, dude?!
How about you? What do you do or you have superb memory?
