Re: Expatwoman!!
There's this expatwomen who I see everyday, you probably know her.
She's the one who looks totally amazed when asked for car park money and then gropes around the back seat looking for her handbag for change, even though she has been to the same car park hundreds of times before.
She's the one who insists on parking her 4X4 as near to the supermarket door as possible, usually blocking the road while she manoeuvres into a space meant for a Corolla or waiting for fellow expatwoman to pack her shopping into her car and move off and vacate the parking space.
She's the one who empties her shopping trolley and casually pushes it into the side of the next car.
She's the one who insists on parking in the bus stop so little Johnny does not have to walk the extra 100 metres to school like all the rest of the kids. Meanwhile all the buses are backed up blocking traffic.
She's the one who double parks blocking the road for "just a minute" which always turns into ten.
She's the one who thinks nothing of parking on the pavement, after all that's why we have 4 wheel drive, to get over those nasty kerbs.
She's the one who yells down the phone at anyone who is below her status (that includes 99% of us).
She's the one who can't seem to grasp why tradesmen ignore her calls even after she was "not particularly" rude to them last time.
She's the one who yells at the taxi driver for talking on the phone but is happy to hold conference calls with her entire extended family whilst driving her 4X4.
She's the one in the middle lane doing exactly 100 kph as is not budging for anyone.
Have you seen her?

Re: Expatwoman!!
speaking of shopping trolleys, I've had a few locals in front of me at spinneys and they empty their trolley then leave it right in front of me so I have to move it and they walk off with loads of bags weighing them down.
Odd.

Re: Expatwoman!!
odd that locals carry their own shopping, prob not locals, just wearing the attire?
