3 Boxing Day Mistakes

After a delicious lunch of leftovers made more impressive by the arrival of family friends and their extra food, I journeyed to Melbourne where I live in a share house. On this journey I made 3 unfortunate mistakes. 

1. Left my boyfriend's family Christmas gift on the kitchen table. They might receive their new Christmas decorations in the new year, never a good look. 

2. Took the train to Melbourne central. Melbourne Central on any other day is one of the greatest train stations, located within a massive shopping centre you are able to arrive at the shops door. It is also a hub for connecting trams. Unfortunately on Boxing Day, the shopping centre is packed full of aggressive, hot and impatient people trying to get the best bargains - despite receiving gifts yesterday. 

3. I decided to go to the bathroom. Massive error. There were only 3 stalls in a cramped hot room, made worse by all 3 people breaking busy bathroom etiquette. Don't go number 2's when there is a queue. It's not only embarrassing for them, but frustrating for everyone who have already been waiting in queue for 5 minutes and are starting to get desperate. 

On a more positive note, I learnt from these mistakes, continue to avoid Boxing Day sales and pay more attention when you leaves the house. Plus I didn't have to wait for a tram or train. Stepped out and bam. There it was. According to my boyfriend, that never happens.

Hope the people who did go out for Boxing Day sales had a successful trip!
