Brea Mall Hell!
I just survived the trauma of shopping at the Brea Mall. Barely.
Why is it a form of torture?
Because the way they have the parking lot set up, people coming in to the mall have the right of way (sorry suckers that are trying to leave, we’ve already taken your money and there’s nothing you can do!), making it pratically impossible to get out. Add to that the general lack of parking and the shitty way the parking structures are set up with anybody being able to go into any lane, and you have an experience that leads to an inevitable rise in blood pressure. It took me a half hour just to get out of the structure. I would have been better off parking across the street!
Whoever thought up the design for that kind of parking lot should be forced to spend their afterlife trying to find a parking spot during the holiday season, the Brea Circle of Hell, if you will.
