    This would be especially true where, as here, the parking lot user elected to follow what was her own "short cut" rather than to avail herself of a usual and available route for exit. See Townsend v. Central Parking, 118 Ga. App. 538 ( 164 S.E.2d 287) (1968). The undisputed evidence shows that, for purely personal reasons, appellant became "distracted" by an event which was in no way connected with appellees. Because of this "distraction," she voluntarily determined to exit the parking lot by a "short cut" which was entirely of her own choosing.
