Tell me a story about the US without telling me it’s about the US.
I have seen this shit quite a lot in cities regardless of country but yeah that’s the US lol.
Sure happens in more places but afaik there aren’t many other places where the police cares that little. Maybe in the city, but not in suburbs at least.
Honestly I would say parking on the sidewalk is actually more common in Europe than in the US. But obviously depends on the local area as much as anything.
For it to be the US, there wouldn’t be a sidewalk
yeah also because we have much more sidewalk than in the US
I think it’s also because the US is obsessed with parking and wide roads so there’s rarely an incentive to park on the sidewalk. Plenty of space elsewhere designated to that purpose.
This could easily be in Australia too.
Ontario, Canada here: A bunch of subdivisions built here since the 80’s have either no sidewalks, or sidewalks on one side only, but the roads are at least 3.5 car widths wide…fuck cars.
This should be open season for tow truck owners.
I really appreciate living in my neighborhood which has great access to public transportation! But you know what really grinds my gears; oh there is no bus at the moment let park here real quick. And then guess what the bus comes and now the bus riders have to bare the nuisance. Or even the morons who park over night like the one pictured above, blocking the sidewalk path.
I live near a town that has a trolley that runs down the middle of the main (2-lane) street. Because the street has parking on both sides, cars can’t get past the trolley in either direction, so you frequently get the hilarity of multiple cars trying to back out of its way to the nearest intersection. But at rush times the parking spots are all full and you get multiple idiots double-parking, which just jams up the entire town. Like, how fucking stupid do you have to be to park on shiny railroad tracks?
Great way to have your car used as a parkour obstacle!
Hear me out… A new sport! We can call it parkedcour!?
My neighborhood has good parking but people still feel the need to back aalllll the way in to the spot, putting their trunk well over the sidewalk. It’s annoying because the road has plenty of space and we have speed bumps through out the neighborhood so the fear of their car being hit is so minimal.
I have the opposite. My parking lot is so small that if one set of your wheels aren’t on the sidewalk, your car is sticking halfway out to the other side.
I can’t fucking wait to move into the city so I can walk and use public transport and not be so reliant on this fucking thing
Bring your keys
So you walk in the street, and then get yelled at.
I got sudden loogie syndrome when I see this shit.
Literally happened to me this morning while I was walking and I thought about it but I was with my wife and I thought it would piss her off lol
That’s a shame lol
you forgot the signs that say anyone walking on HOA grass will either be shot or arrested.
I feel if I heel kick in front of me on what should be a public footpath then I cannot be blamed for any static vehicles that happen to be there
you got sidewalks? Fancy
Douchebags.
Douchebags, everywhere!
