Cruising for a park closer to the shops is endemic in Australia too, Tamara.
But I take the cake. I called in at the Post Office the other day to check my mail (15 min parking) so, having picked up the mail, moved one block to the front of the Chemist where I wanted to shop. One piece of mail was a lacemaking book. A friend was walking past, I called to her in excitement, she got in the car, we agreed to have a cup of coffee together and look at the book, so I backed out and drove HALF A BLOCK to the coffee shop, whereupon we fell about laughing at how idiotic that was. My excuse was my excitement with the book. This, of course,is only possible in a country town like Cooma. Trying doing that in the suburbs of Sydney!
