Ask Lemmy

My reaction would be How did i get to a another country?

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.

"Oh thank god! I'm back in Spain. Maybe living in the US was just a horrible nightmare!"

Report it via the local app.

My immediate reaction? Why the fuck is this asshole parked in the fucking crossing walk?

I might consider calling parking enforcement to see if we can get it towed.

I used to know someone who carried little tightly wrapped baggies of acetone in his glove box to chuck at asshole drivers.

I think about him every time I see something like this

A car? Seen one before mate.

Have some dark fantasies, but probably not do anything about it. If I did see someone damaging the car or the owner, I don't know what you're talking about.

Egg it?

There used to be a website called You Park Like An Asshole that had pre-designed flyers you could attach to cars like this and other such infractions of, uh, good parking etiquette, if not also laws.

Looks like the site is dead, and either way, the other comments suggest this is in a country where the primary language isn't English so their flyers wouldn't be as useful.

... but it doesn't mean that you can't design your own in the local language and shove it under their windscreen wiper. Bonus points for putting it in a sticky-backed plastic envelope. You know. The things that parking tickets usually get put in.

remember, the aircon input for cars are normally the slot under the windscreen

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.

This sort of thing is really common where I live. No point reporting them as the police don't do anything and they continue to park like this

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.

“Hmpf… what an asshole…” *life goes on *

Thanks to my dogs I usually carry around a bag full of shit to comment appropriately.

Must be part of the crosswalk, just walk over it!

I find interesting how everything in that picture looks familiar even though it is another country. The crosswalks, the street sign, the style of the buildings, the alarm placard. Is that a dentist clinic?

You could say it was taken near my house and I would believe it if not because of the car plates.

Walk over its hood. It's technically not illegal in most parts.

Russian style , place very big stickers on all the windows , works great.
Also place dogshit on his car

Impotent Rage

Edit: on second thought, Vienna where i live has an app where you can report stuff like this. Second alternative, call the cops to tow the illegally parked car which is a pretty expensive way to learn that you can't park there.

I'm not a European myself, but when I visit France this is too common to even remark upon to my wife. I don't know why they don't ticket them, or maybe they do and it's not a concern?

Key it while crossing over the hood when I'm having a bad day (every day is a bad day in my book).

I crawl over them and go on with my day. It has resulted in some angry people and police called on me once, but the officer fined the driver for crossing the stopline (it wasn’t a parked car, they were stopped for red) and told me to not do it again.

Reminds me of this ancient Mentos ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqgqgcE8Zck

i got stickers made of paper that say "nice parking job" which i stick directly in view on the windshield :3 it's a hassle to scrape it off

I'd probably think "God why did I have to come across so many cars and terrible drivers today. Damn I hate cars."

and then walk away.

Shit on the bonnet, shit on the roof, shit on the side mirrors, shit on the windows, shit on the trunk, shit on the tires, shit on the door handles, shit on the windscreen wipers and shit inside of the exhaust pipe

I've got the street all to myself. Maybe I'd have a brief moment of reflection on how surprisingly quiet and peaceful city streets can be at times.

Hell yeah I’m back in Lisbon

Continue, stoicly walking in my designated space. Car or no car. (I wish.. in reality I'd probably just walk around the car)

Worst drivers ever.
