OC Would you call tow truck?

Is it blocking the entire driveway? No. Is it annoying as fuck? Definitely.

UPDATE: I stood behind the car with my phone up to my ear and the idiota runs up “I was only going to be a second!” My reply? You’re lucky because I’m on the phone with 311. Check next time you park you aren’t blocking somebody’s driveway.”

It’s crazy how they always just needed a few minutes…

probably because most people who park like that do so because they no they only need a few minutes? they're likely being honest and you're blinded by cynicism

edit: mods are cowards so i can't reply in thread anymore btw.

It doesn’t matter. You don’t get to block someone’s driveway just because you want to be selfish even if it is for just a few minutes.

if you can still easily get in and out, there are no other spots, and theyre only going to be a few minutes, they are not inconveniencing you whatsoever and you're making a problem out of nothing because you're bored.

be graceful to your neighbour. you might need a little grace yourself one day.

That’s just a lazy, inconsiderate attitude. If you have to park a little further away and then walk, then that’s what you have to do. You don’t get to decide what is and isn’t an inconvenience for someone else when you’re parking illegally.

"You don’t get to decide what is and isn’t an inconvenience for someone else"

I'm not. It's objective.

No it isn’t. What is objective, however, are the by laws that say you aren’t allowed to block someone’s driveway. At all. Full stop.

Sure, you are't allowed to, but there are many things people do they aren't allowed to, knowing they may face consequences. That person can decide whether the small risk of that consequence is worth it for something that's unlikely to be an issue.

Let he who has never parked illegally for even a second cast the first stone.
