So I was leaving Cavendish Square on Friday after a thoroughly enjoyable Chunky Chicken Wrap at Sumo, which was preceeded by an awesome session Guest Speaking to the UCT Business Science Honours students. A good day, all in all..

That was until I drove out of the Cavendish Square car park.

I joined the spiral exit on the one end of the car park, after waiting for a gap to enter the stream. The car that was coming down from above had more than enough room but decided to accelerate, once I had started to join the flow. Oh dear, one of those..

Needless to say the hooter began blaring behind me and this “woman” starting screaming like a Goddamn banshee. This terribly un-ladylike behaviour, combined with her general pronunciation and accent, led me to believe that she was not of royal descent.

Rather, I would tend to suggest that she was a tad unrefined – possibly coming down from a hangover.

After the video I drove at 3km/h down about 5 levels. Even though my window was shut, she carried on like a bloody fish wife the WHOLE way! Terribly amusing.

But not nearly as amusing as the fact that the one line she kept on repeating over and over again was, “Look at YOU, Driving MOMMY’S CAR!!”

Given that I have entered my thirties and happen to own the Mercedes Benz I was driving, it is somewhat ironic that she was giving me a double-compliment. Not only do I look young enough to be a student, but my car seems to be quite impressive as well.

Thanks!
