Free EV charging during a HOYTS movie

We went to the movies tonight at HOYTS Australia in Forest Hill, Melbourne.
There happened to be an EV charger in the car park, so, why not charge up, for free, while we watch the movie ☺️. The second allocated spot, where I parked, is oddly crammed in between a pillar and wall. It’s BYO cable, which I had. I just had to cross over the first car’s cable, plug in, press start, and walk away. Easy so far, right!
When we returned after the movie, I forgot about the crossover, and spent two minutes trying to unplug the wrong cable. It wasn’t until I was on the Chargefox support phone line that Francis pointed out my mistake 🤦♂️.
Then I thought I’d redeem my tech wizardry, by using Summon from the Tesla app to move the car forward, so I could open the doors for my passengers. But I stopped it when the driver’s door was right next to the pillar and then couldn’t get it moving again. I had to squeeze through the gap, and drive the car forward manually, like a Neanderthal. Now, my tech cred is pretty low.
