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 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.

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.

Leave a boot print

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

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.

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

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?

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

Hell yeah I’m back in Lisbon

I just want to say to anyone who says "key this car" - it very likely has a camera running once you come close enough to it, so if the camera gets your face or other identifiable information, you can be held liable.

Well it's obviously fine as long as they got the 'I bought it before elon went crazy' bumper sticker. /s

“Oh hey look, a Nazi sympathizer.”

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

I'm reporting you to the cops!

Report it via the local app.

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

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.

Is someone in the front seat? It almost looks like a small tuft of blond hair. Is someone dropping off mail into the post office box?

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?

Worst drivers ever.

I'm going to turn around and wonder what crazy portal I just walked though.

I was the car behind him the other day. Except it was a truck or SUV, like an Escalade or something. You know, those guys who think they own the road. The funny thing is, they had just run a red light in front of me. They didn't beat the yellow, either. It was red when they got there. They just decided the red light was only for the working folks. Fortunately they didn't get hit crossing. Got a few horns though. So I thought it was funny as hell that I rolled up behind them at the next stop. They were the first one there, and they rolled just past the line right onto the crosswalk. Absolutely tracked for how they'd been driving.

Maybe I could have downloaded the dashcam video and posted it somewhere, but I'm not a rat. The cops will catch this guy eventually. I don't need to be a part of it. People bitch about the cost of the ticket, but they don't realise they're not just paying for the one time they got caught, they're paying for all the times they didn't. That they didn't get away with it and now the bill has come due. That's what their saved time was worth. If it's too much, maybe next time they'll just leave earlier, drive safer. If it's not... they won't learn.
