I see that all of the time... but especially in the morning with schools dropoffs... there's a spot to pull over, but instead they stop dead in the middle of the street blocking traffic, usually with a line of cars waiting behind us...

Catchy isn’t it?

This is every damn day on Sussex where I live - parents stop their car any old place (and never in the designated drop off area!) and I get to hear a symphony of car horns for a good half hour.

These people also ride the subway, where they spread-eagle like porn wannabes.

Why censor their license plate? Let the public shame them

Big agree. They leave their property on public land. No need to provide any form of privacy that they themselves won't go about getting.
They can pay for private parking if privacy is a concern.

That’s going too far.

Because it could get OP banned.

But it’s ok, they put their hazard lights on, so they can stop in the middle of the street…/s
It drives me nuts. There’s this Hummer on my block that does this every Sunday. How about the cops start fining these people instead of jacking up our property taxes so much?

Its been there since 5pm yesterday (Sunday) :/

Nah dude they’re needed in full force on Newark Ave to stop people from biking on the pedestrian plaza

I was expecting Philly style parking. Instead this is just clearly someone trying to get an insurance payout when someone side swipes their car, or someone who only cares about anarchy

What is Philly style parking?
ManchurianPandaDate t1_j4l97i6 wrote
They call it a parking jawn
Jahooodie t1_j4l8v2d wrote
In some of the neighborhoods: You see that median there? Any hashed yellow stripes? Fair game park on it. Double park people in, honk your horn if you gotta leave until someone comes out to move. It's.... it's a chaotic culture impenetrable to outsiders, that I only am aware of second hand.

Thanks for the reply, very interesting

Or the car shut down perfectly there? Was trying to give them the benefit of all doubts

It would be a grand shame if an emergency vehicle or public service couldn't get through :/

Happens all the time. These people don't care unless it's their loved who's in the back of ambulance or their house is on fire. Where is the parking authority? They'd make a killing while also clearing up these streets.

Good news is emergency vehicles can plow through these assholes if really necessary.

a broken side mirror would teach them a lesson.

In this city, there is no shortage of dog poop on the ground. Pick it up and rub it under their door handle. If you have a glove. Unless you’re just that upset and it makes sense to get shit on your hand.

As would a broken neck teach a lesson to the person who breaks their side mirror. 🤷♂️

Must be friends with this cop car, blocking the cross walk.
No, the cops were not in the vehicle, nor were they on any urgent business. I saw them heading to a restaurant to get some tacos for about an hour or so.

They're giving space to cyclists. Give them a medal, not grief.

My personal pet peeve is the lazy assholes that double park in front of an EMPTY SPOT! Like, dude, not only are you double parking and impeding the flow of traffic, but you are also blocking someone from being able to use that perfectly fine empty spot. I see it ALL THE TIME in JC, but never seen it elsewhere.
