I hate when my cart runs into these. Sometimes a few times. Can’t be helped
Depending on where you live the cops might!
In many places in the world this can be reported, and the results can range from calling the owner to tell them to move, all the way to towing the car with a nice fine.
When I see this I always call, sure, I might be able-bodied and can walk past it. but honestly, what if someone with a wide wheelchair or anything similar can’t get past it?
This is just pure selfishness on the driver’s side, so I selfishly call the cops on them 🤷
Yeah Im that guy who routinely calls the cops in my town when cars are parked on the sidewalk. Ive called so many times I rarely see it in my neighborhood anymore.
I have been considering this but don’t have enough patience. The cops in my town don’t care. They might even yell at me for wasting their time.
However they do seem to collect data on calls and eventually respond to what it seems like people want. I think it would take getting to the end of the year and having some data analyst say “look how many calls we got about cars blocking the sidewalk. We need to do something”
When I call the cops to report dangerous driving, half the time the dispatch doesn’t even seem to care, “oh only going 30 over? Is that about the flow of traffic? Well it isn’t illegal to pass on the double yellow even if it was kind of tight. If you’re backing up traffic by doing the limit you could probably speed up a bit to make it safer”.

Get out of the fast lane on a road that only has 1 lane in each direction? Yes i mean drivers using an oncoming lane to pass instead of waiting a few minutes for the passing lanes that come every couple of kilometers.
My apologies for unfairly assuming.
Absolutely shocked that it’s a BMW

Irresponsible vehicle use should probably primarily lead to the vehicle getting impounded, but due to actively hostile leadership, this is unfortunately unlikely to happen.
Until then - did you know that placing a lentil within the cap of the tyre valve and then screwing on the cap causes the tyre to deflate?
What do you want them to do, unlock and get back in the car, restart it, put it in reverse, reverse a couple feet, put it in park, and shut the car off before having to close the door and lock it again?!
My guy, they already got out of the car, like… 🤷♀️

Walk across the hood leaving dents
It could be worse. Here recently was a bus(!) parking in a car parking slot. At the front, it 2/3 cut off the mixed pedestrian and bike way, and the rear it blocked half of the road.
Ram a shopping cart into it as hard as you can. Make sure to scrape the whole front end
You gotta exit your vehicule at some point
Always carry a box of nails in your car. Then, when you see this, place it just under his tire. So when he backs up, he punctures his tire. You could even use 4 nails. One for each tire. Or, even more evil, only 3. He’ll still have to pay for the 4th tire replacement, even though nothing is wrong with the 4th tire.
I’ve posted this before. What’re you’re talking about doing is destruction of property. It’s a crime. Just go to your local auto parts store, buy yourself a tire valve remover, and just keep it in your car. You can just unscre the valve and flatten the tire, and if you’re feeling nice, replace it or just leave it on the ground.
Until they have a blowout and kill an innocent bystander.
You’re STILL talking destruction of property dude, how Is what you’re doing any different?
Well, if you know how tires work, all you do is put air back in, when they’re slashed you’re responsible for, on a car like that, 300$ a tire. Removing the valve is an inconvenience, but slashing is money and time.
You’re assuming these people would notice a flat tire? Driving on a completely flat tire ruins them.
Yes, I do know how tires work, and clearly you don’t.
Guessing you don’t drive, and if you do, it’s not much. A half decent driver can feel the pull even with as little as 15psi. You’re the kind of person who puts us all in danger on the road. Please turn in your driver license before you kill someone.
You realize this is the type of person parking halfway in a sidewalk right…? And you want to rely on their capability to notice a pull that could be their vehicle out of alignment instead…. Which can still lead to a situation where an innocent bystander is killed by your absolutely moronic decision to deflate someone’s tire.
This isn’t about OUR capability, but the capability of the people’s vehicles you are vandalizing.
But obviously someone who can’t comprehend how both of the situations are BOTH vandalizing wouldn’t be smart enough to know that either I guess…
People like you are everything wrong with this world, be better, and don’t need an ass when called out, there’s only one dick in this exchange, and you need to look in the mirror to see it.
Until they have a blowout at speed and hit an innocent bystander, don’t vandalize people’s shit to make a point, fuck is wrong with people?
