It looks like this is a common thing on this street

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 hours ago

I am immensely disappointed to see a fellow WRX/STI driver be a dick but also not totally surprised.

[–] Chaser@lemmy.zip 17 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

Car? Looks more like a tank. Who besides of farmers and woodworkers needs such big cars?

[–] vaionko@sopuli.xyz 8 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

I've worked on a fairly large farm, and guess how many pickups they had? Zero. There's a van, if something doesn't fit, put a trailer behind, still doesn't fit, tractor with a trailer.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Vans: For when you want a truck but you also want it to be actually useful.

[–] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago

Still doesn't fit? Tractor trailer.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 8 points 16 hours ago

People who are terrified of anyone else figuring out that they have a tiny wiener.

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 10 points 20 hours ago

Literally everyone, apparently. It doesn't help compact and sedan options are getting slimmer every year too. I hate it.

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 32 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That’s a lot more than mildly… Something happened since the pandemic people just have no idea how to park their cars.

[–] h54@programming.dev 37 points 1 day ago

Massive entitlement, lack of consequences.

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Bleh, call the police non emergency line and get it towed. Insanity.

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 25 points 22 hours ago

Call the fire dept and say youre concerned it might be blocking those exiting the building, (especially the handicapped) from clearing the area of a potential fire in a safe and orderly fashion.

I did this once when my neighbors landscapers parked blocking in my front door, despite me catching them at stand asking them not to park on the yellow line, when I needed to get my mom to a post-op checkup (making that the only viable door as I had to carry hwr down the stairs, and the back is 2 flights compared to a half)

Not only was the fire dept there in like 5 mins, they had a bunch of guys flip the truck over to roll it out from between cars on either side, they broke the windows to throw a tow strap through the cab, dragged it upside down out into a place the wrecker could get it, and pulled it upside down onto the flatbed.

Then they helped me get my mom down the stairs as a bonus. Extra bonus was they landscapers tried to sue the homeowner for the loss of the truck over their refusal to provide offscreen parking (my street fills up despite the town's requirement for adequate onstreet parking intended for workers like landscapers)

They ended up dropping the neighbors house, which due to the publicity got them on every landscaper in town's blacklist. The inability to get landscapers ended up making the house no longer atractive enougb for short term rentals, first replaced by a long term rental, and eventually they sold, and now there's a real, working class family there!

Probably is a cop

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Police do not care. There a huge chance they don't arrive in time. I called on a couple of tweakers that were fucking around for 4 hours below my apartment and the cops took 5 hours to arrive. Fuck the police. Useless.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

The difference here is that enforcement of parking violations generates revenue for the police force with minimal paperwork. Tangling with tweakers generates no revenue and a bunch of paperwork. Police forces have never been about protecting the public.

YMMV but this being NY, speaking from experience they have an army of meter maids at ready to ruin someone's day lol

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 4 points 18 hours ago

Honestly it looks like the sidewalk snow was cleared after they parked but it still should’ve been obvious right?

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

Entitled little twat

[–] user1234@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 23 hours ago

That's just another day in Philly.

[–] Legonatic@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

This regularly happens in my neighborhood in Brooklyn. I don't like it either, but I'm pretty sure it's legal.

[–] pdqcp@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Luckily it is not legal, report it whenever you see it. I see at least 4 infractions

Details here: https://dmv.ny.gov/new-york-state-drivers-manual-and-practice-tests/chapter-7-parallel-parking

You cannot park, stop or stand:

[...]
On a sidewalk or in a crosswalk.

[...]

Parking or standing is not allowed:

[...]
Within 20 feet (6 m) of a crosswalk at an intersection.
Within 30 feet (10 m) of a traffic light, STOP sign or YIELD sign.
Along a curb that is cut, lowered or made for access to the sidewalk

Unfortunately, legality is one thing and enforcement is another. I've yet to see action be taken against illegal parking in NYC. Even when it's been called in and reported.

Same goes for housing violations & hit and runs

[–] Legonatic@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I appreciate you sending this, but there's a church at the end of my block where people park on the sidewalk, which is very very wide, every day. Is that still illegal then?

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago

That would probably depend on the property lines. If it's on the public easement, it's likely illegal. But if the extended walkway area is on their private property, it's probably kosher.

Might also have to look at the fire lane laws, for some reason I thought NYC had requirements for fire trucks to be able to get close enough to the building, so it might block the fire lane, maybe...

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 20 hours ago

Pee on the windshield.

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

Pop his fucking tires.

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Context?

It's the crossing guard. They're beloved and allowed.

But yeah. Boo! They suck!

[–] borkborkbork@piefed.social 4 points 20 hours ago

evidence for that?

[–] Unleaded8163@fedia.io 0 points 1 day ago

And came back to four slashed tires, right?
