Tell me a story about the US without telling me it's about the US.

    This happens all over the UK too. In the area I live, it's not uncommon for people to park their entire car on the footpath.

    Just this afternoon I saw a guy park across a dropped kerb, jump out of his car and walk off. So my partner had to roll their chair further down the road in order to cross.

    I'm also in the UK.

    Scratch the shit out of the car. Take a photo and license plate. Go to cops, say it was parkd across the footpath and you damaged it wirh your chair and feel bad about it.

    Cops will fine it and since the damage is on record due to driver illegality insurance won't cover repairs.

    it just needs to be made illegal country wide amd enforced with fines. The council by council rule changes on curb parking is confusing. As for those who will complain that there isn't enough room for parking on both sides of the road, tough shit

    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.

    Exactly, I‘m German and it happens here a lot. My street is particularly bad because there’s not enough street parking - which would be a good thing if they actually punished people parking on the sidewalk.

    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.

    Great way to have your car used as a parkour obstacle!

    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.

    That awkward moment when you lock eyes and see the driver slowly back up out of the crossing.

    I've never experienced this in my country (Sweden) but that has no effect on my agreement with this community.

    I feel like I also see a lot of cars parked in taxi stands and loading zones, which leads me to think car owners don't think about anyone else, including other car drivers. Taxi stands are at their core congestion relief because the alternative is double parking and hunting for free kerb space. Its almost always big trucks too. I wonder why.

    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

    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.

    What do y'all do when someones stopped in cross walk waiting to turn? I sometimes just want to hop on the hood; though, usually I just drag my hand across the rear window or hood.

    They make cards you can stick on people's windshields, I am so tempted because I am driven by spite, but I also am tempered by age... and realize there are cameras now and I would quickly get a reputation.

    Don't forget your keys! And hold them in your hand as you closely walk around these obstacles.

    you forgot the signs that say anyone walking on HOA grass will either be shot or arrested.
