Not enough space for a stroller, had to walk in the middle of the street to go around the SUV.

    That’s not an SUV… But yeah it looks like they backed up ONTO the curb, that’s pretty rude…

    Usually I scratch the paint off. Sure it’s not acceptable, but fuck cars. I’ve also smashed the ad signs in Sydney.

      As shitty as people can be, it’s never appropriate to respond to non-damaging inconvenience with vandalism. That’s you stooping even lower than their level.

        Hmm, I wonder:

        • why is inconveniencing one person (admittedly on a worse level) worse than inconveniencing everyone that uses the sidewalk (so smaller level, but wider scale)?
        • why do you believe this? Is it just because the law states one is punished worse than the other?

          You’re not just inconveniencing them, you’re literally causing hundreds of dollars in damage.

          Damaging their car isn’t helping anyone, except for making yourself feel better, it’s such an immature way to respond.

          It’s like punching someone for using racial slurs and derogatory terms. You’re not in the right to punch them.

          An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.

            If there aren’t penelties to being an ass, why would these people ever stop? Clearly this person hasn’t learned how to park correctly and not fuck other people over, so until they do they should have consequences. Doing nothing just let’s them know they can keep doing this without consequences.

          Damaging the car may cost the owner a significant sum to repair. The car blocking the sidewalk is definitely shitty, but mostly amounts to a minor inconvenience.

          Maybe just deflate the tires or leave a strongly worded letter on the windshield instead.

    See, my crippled ass is going to squeeze through anyway. Even if that means the metal clasps on my shoulder bag grind against the vehicle, or even if the attachment point for the strap on my cane happens to dig in if I happen to stumble because of the tight space.

    Will that result in dents and scrapes? Absolutely. Do I care? Absolutely not.

      My non-crippled ass would possibly also have some issues. I might trip with my keys in my hand or something worse. Who’s to know what dangers parking like this could pose.

    I haven’t tried it yet, but I’ve heard that you can call to get vehicles towed if they are blocking the sidewalk. I don’t know if that’s in every municipality, but I suspect the tow companies and the city would not mind the revenue.

    We are truly fucking doomed.
