Maybe covering everything with cars and car infrastructure was a bad idea.

[–] sibannac@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Walk over it. Even if it's filmed, they are in a crosswalk what would come of that? Get some friends to do the same. If they don't want their car walked on, don't park on the crosswalk.

Only reasonable reaction

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

I would think wow that's terrible parking, and would wonder if they'll get a ticket from somebody who makes a living putting tickets on improperly parked cars.

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 2 points 6 hours ago

I make sure my keys are clipped to my belt securely. Wouldn't want them to fall off as I squeeeeeeeeeeze past, would I?

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 hours ago

I'd pee on the door handles

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 6 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Ah, Balkans, huh?

Edit: Looks like Portugal plates. They're honorary Balkans.

Climb over the top of it, of course. Preferably with golf shoes.

[–] ITGuyLevi@programming.dev 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I'd definitely be calling a couple of my wheelchair bound brothers. I'm sure they'd be up for seeing how fast they could crash into it... Maybe not all of them but Dave would, Dave would absolutely ram right into it multiple times (he really doesn't like not having access to a crosswalk).

[–] Vex_Detrause@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 hours ago

Dave is a cool guy!

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 23 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I exhale sharply through my nose, go around and forget about it 15 seconds later.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 4 points 7 hours ago

The most honest answer. But honestly, we need to learn to do things about it.

[–] Tudsamfa@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago

Change into my "blind guy" costume and beat the car with my stick until someone stops me.

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 14 points 12 hours ago

I'm British so I'm going to tut loudly and mutter something under my breath

[–] CaptainMan251@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Accidentally run into it head in and end up with a concussion. Then I can sue them.

Walk directly across the hood.

It's a tough one honestly, because you never know if its someone that's generally a considerate person but had to park for an emergency.. Or if it's just a general asshole on a standard day.

Judging by the car make and model though (all black Tesla), I'd lean towards the latter.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

If hazards are on, I'd give the benefit of doubt, otherwise, probably not.

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 11 hours ago

Well, I would imagine someone in emergency would at very least leave emergency lights on. I'm assuming OP wouldn't time the picture so they don't show up.

At least Lisbon refreshed the Zebra Stripes for the pedestrians.

"Cool, free stem valves!"

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 19 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

I called parking enforcement on this one. Right in front of the job site drive. We don't come here everyday, but when we do, it'd be nice to be able to pull in. They called me when they got to the car and asked if I wanted it toed. I said that they do it all the time but just give a warning, because it's the first time I've called. Next time, it's gone.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

The front and rear wheels are different.

[–] Gumbyyy@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago

Nicer than I would have been. I would have told them hell yeah, please tow it. I don't think people should get a "freebie" for something this egregious.

[–] TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com 13 points 14 hours ago

“Hope they get a ticket”

[–] 1hitsong@lemmy.ml 11 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

Walk across the crosswalk dozens of times wearing a big, metal belt buckle.

Saying "oops" every time I accidentally run into the car.

I would take gel deodorant and put it on all of the door handles.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 hours ago

Leave a boot print

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 11 points 14 hours ago (9 children)

Buy a roll of those stickers they put on products that is basically impossible to remove without ripping it and always leaves behind adhesive residue. See how much you can cover.

Nothing, officer. I didn't see who keyed the car.

Mild annoyance and then continue with my day. If I'm really annoyed report it to whoever issues the parking fines in the area.

[–] ApplyingAutomation@lemmy.world 16 points 13 hours ago

My city has a sick app for reporting these sorts of things! Just snap a photo and it tags the location and uses OCR to get the license plate number.
