What has constantly puzzled me is where all the people are in those Malls... ???

My local car parks are absolutely packed.... yet when you try and add up average how many people you see in the actual Malls to the number of cars... there is no way it adds up!!!

There are No offices nearby...(there are only 2 to 4 hours parking maximum so they can't be parking there all day and taking public transport... and those Parking wardens are really vigilant!!!! which is annoying when you are stuck at the hairdressers...)

I tried counting the numbers of cars once in a small Mall once... there were over 400 cars parked... if you multiply ...say 1 1/2 people per car and then do a quick count of the customers ....there were only about 30 shops and a couple of restaurants that only had a couple of dozen people... at the time... did a quick look see in all the shops....I'd say 100 people would have been a generous count....!!!!

Where were the rest of the people???

This has puzzled me enough to check other little malls... and it was the same!!!!

It's harder to do the larger Malls with 5000 plus car parks....

There were many boutiques that only had a few people... ( I've often wondered how they stay in business )

And then noted the more popular ones... did a rough count.... looked at the number of people wandering around... No way do the figures add up!!!! Not by a long shot!!!!


Makes me believe that they go somewhere else!!!!
...but where???
Are there secret subterranean places... businesses... or what ever...???

Has any one else ever noticed this???

Or wondered about it????

What?






Perhaps some people left their car in the mall's parking lot

Maybe the majority of the cars are people that work there.

hi

Me thinks you think too much On a serious note i have honestly never noticed . maybe your more perceptive than me . if you ever solve it let me know . hey if they know better shops underground that i dont yet know of i wanna hear about it

In the town where I live, there is a small mall within easy walking distance of downtown. There are signs that parking is restricted to those shopping in the mall, but that is obviously hard to enforce. I confess that I have on rare occasions parked at the mall when I was shopping elsewhere. I think maybe others have had the same idea.

(Now everyone knows why I use an alias and never answer personal questions on the web. If my life of crime were ever traced back to me... >shudder< )

Ok, i just woke up from a dream ( i never dream y'know).
Since we are both in Australia, do you know that people use to move their cars before it expires the time?
Yes, they moved it 4 times a day. About the business? they wanted to survive until they can.
It don't mean they're getting profit much if they are still there.
One day you'll notice, one of them is gone replaced by the other.

Well our local one... is in a residential area.... no obvious businesses other than the shops....

And they are strictly regulated... been fined myself..... ...on far too many occasions...

It's very simple - the mall that you are near actually has an extensive underground complex where aliens and government employees control the dis-information campaign to fool people into thinking that pop rocks and soda can cause death.

See how simple things are when you become a conspiracy theorist?

...I can imagine a Logan's Run scenario... where people clock on in a lift that takes them down several stories... or inverted high rises.... that would make them 'low rises' wouldn't it???


Kind of fashionable like the jeans....

I think it is because you see all the cars stationary all together in one large area ,while in the mall the people are never really stationary in one large group , it is more dynamic with people moving about in and out of shops up floors down floors ect ect...

or maybe the bloke with the underground alien centre is right?

This is an unexplained mystery?!

There you go, problem solved.

Half of the parking lot is filled before the mall opens where I'm at.

is this really a mysteries of mind, space & time-worthy subject?

... OK... here's another one... why is it that when we are really stressed.. electrics malfunction... lights blow when you turn on the switch....... the stove or the oven takes 3 times longer than normal to cook something... or you leave the room for 5 minutes and everything burns.... or the clocks seem to jump around... eg.. time drags... eg.. you can complete several chores that would normally take 15 to 20 minutes... yet when you look ..only a few minutes have elapsed... yet later... you can walk from one room to another...and then find that 10 minutes have elapsed....!!!


It's like you can save up time.. like on credit... . and then balance it out later....

Sometimes you have to pay interest... .. like it takes twice as long to do some things...or you can watch things happen in slow motion... especially when you fall... ... trip over.... or you can see something flying at you... or an accident about to happen... it's like a deja vu feeling in slow motion.... you know you can step out of it.. but you wonder if it is the right thing to do.... playing fair with the elements..... cause you feel you might have to pay for it later.... ...

'Tis the shopping mall version of the Bermuda Triangle

ha-ha I've noticed this as well, I don't think time flows at the same rate all the time. It's kind of subjective isn't it? While you are consciously waiting for something to complete it feels longer, but time passes by a little quicker if your attention is distracted from task or absorbed by something.

Here's another one, I was driving down the motorway today and saw a random shoe laying at the side of the road. Why is it always just one shoe?

yes I too have often noticed a lone shoe on the streets... they are probably looking for all the missing socks ...

We think they all get lost in the dryer... but!!!!!

I while ago when I was vacuuming ... I noticed this sock... under the bed.... well... ... trying my usual short cut... I thought I could vacuum it carefully ...( I had just emptied it... so it wouldn't have been too gross... if it got sucked up.... ) ... Well it got sucked up... so I opened it to retrieve it... and.... it wasn't there!!!! I looked under the bed... up the tube... It had disappeared!!!!!

I honestly think there is some sort of secret 'wormhole'.. that sucks up random.. objects... especially socks... as there is a lot of energy attached to them... ( in the effort we constantly think about it's whereabouts...search for it...get annoyed... etc... all gets sent to the missing object.. filling it with energy... in a similar.. but not the same way as we send healing to the sick... or wish people well.. or as in prayers... note... how sometimes you can sense when someone is thinking of you??? your ears tingle or something....

Remember energy is always or often attached to objects... that is how psychometry works....all objects are made of matter...vibrating energy... and spaces.. we only percieve them as solid...


So... my theory is.... ,that the universe constantly needs to balance it's energetic flow.... so when there is a leak... eg.. the extra manifested or used up via prayers... miracles... magic... spells... strong thoughts.. wishes..... fear.... the universe perhaps creates something like black holes to suck random energies... particles up to recycle them.....

Woo!
I love this thread, Crystal Sage, you're awesome.
I like the way you think, we observe things...and we have good imaginations.
I too have thought about such things.
Especially the sock thing...I really do wonder if they do go somewhere else lol..
And totally, when you're stressed or depressed everything seems to get worse or malfunction..
