It's like they just decide that the marked space + loading area next to it is theirs to use as they please so they go all diagonal or whatever. This happens all the time at every store I've been to, and in the parking lot of the apartments where I live. At least 3 people with handicap placards, all of them drive big ridiculous SUVs, and always park crooked as gently caress taking up two spots. Yeah, thanks dipshit in the gigantic Silverado heavy duty that didn't pull up far enough and parked diagonally across both your spot and the regular non-handicap spot next to it. Or the moron with the teeny Aveo that thinks her car is a loving tank and parks like a one-eyed retarded chimp on LSD. YOU CAN FIT TWO OF THOSE CARS IN ONE SPOT, LEARN TO loving PARK YOU TWAT

Someone around here DDs this thing. WHY The worst part is that there's more than one of them in the city, and that one is the less douchey one. The other one has "zombie hunter" spraypainted on the bumpers.

You're actually wrong about this. Driving like an rear end is a serioua concern because it can cause huge liability when they kill a bus load of children, particularly if there have been previous complaints. Can't claim you thought there was a gun.

There was a guy DDing one of those around here, with "terrorist killer" or "kill all terrorists" (something like that) painted in huge letters on the sides, and Murican flags flying from everywhere. It was offensive to both terrorists and non-terrorists alike. There was also a guy that vinyl wrapped his F150 with a 9/11 motif, complete with pictures of the plane hitting the WTC and resulting fireball and "NEVER FORGET" everywhere. Ironically, he's in prison now for tax evasion. Patriots pay their taxes, buddy.

A road raging rear end in a top hat cop will get away with it as long as he doesn't kill anyone as a direct result of being a road raging rear end in a top hat - it's a lot easier to cover up reckless driving when there's no dead body to deal with.

No one is getting fired, but will be re-refered to drivers training (which suck) and be yelled at by someone. This is in distinct contrast to shooting someone.

These are the people you share your living room with: http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2015/12/16/gamer-hit-by-car-while-playing-fallout-4-in-his-home-survives/ TLDR: Man with goon-like qualities is playing Fallout 4, driver is victim of "unintended acceleration" and drives through his wall. Driver is unsurprisingly uninsured.

So I had a pedestrian go off the deep end last night. Pulling up to a red light and there's a pedestrian in the cross walk to my left. As I come to a stop about 1/2 a car length from the crosswalk, pedestrian (who is on his cell phone) leaps about 2 feet away from my car and starts screaming and flailing about drivers not respecting the crosswalk. All I could do is smile and wave while he continued his trek to crazytown.

Last night I almost got creamed crossing the street. I enter the marked crosswalk, with right of way. A few steps in, a car comes barrelling down the street toward me well in excess of the posted speed limit. He slams on the brakes at the last second, sparing my life. I hollered at him, explaining he needs to have respect for pedestrians in the crosswalk. His only response was to stupidly smile and wave. Smug loving prick.

Last night i was regulating traffic in my traffic control zone. I switched the pedestrian traffic indicator to active and a pedestrian started crossing the road, as is his function. An inbound motor vehicle correctly stopped at the designated line and an information exchange, which i was not programmed to interpret, took place between them.

Bonus points for not having insurance so that you don't even have to pay for the damages by proxy.

I almost missed an obnoxiously short green at an intersection with an annoyingly long red today. I was in the right lane, a straight only lane, behind one vehicle. The left lane is a left turn only lane, packed to the brim. As the cross traffic light turned red, the guy in front of me.... put his left turn signal on. And sat there laying on his horn because the first car in line in the left turn only lane went straight as he tried to turn left across him. And then the guy going straight slammed his brakes when he saw the guy trying to turn left before flooring it when he realized he wasn't going to get hit (durrrr?)and it was already a yellow by the time two vehicles from each lane made it past the green, where generally you can get 6-7

Subaru Wagon from the 90's, all brake lights on all of the time. The corner lights became slightly brighter when he was braking for the stop light, but the center mount remained unchanged. Thankfully he changed lanes so I didn't have to follow for long. Check your lights like, monthly please.

Went for a nice ride yesterday and encountered this on the way back down the mountain... let's play guess who crossed the double-yellow! Let's also play I'm so glad I left my friend's house a few minutes late! Red tacoma and two black cars on shoulder were good samaritans. Traffic was backed up pretty good in the opposite direction but I was the first person coming from the other way and the samaritans directing traffic let me weave through.   I also shared the road with this person

Going own the road, some moron decided to pull out in front of me and not accelerate, so I went into the left lane. The lady behind said moron decided he was going to slow and I drat near hit her when she cut me off to get around him. When I have her a short 'what the gently caress?' honk she took off like a bat out of hell and must have been doing 60+ in a 45.

Whoooweee. It's pouring rain here in San Francisco, in a way that it pretty much hasn't for a couple of years. Couple that with the normal Christmas traffic and everyone on the roads has just turned into a goddamned moron. I experienced like half a dozen dash-cam-worthy events in the five mile drive from downtown to my apartment. I think my favorite was the guy who drove for half a mile straddling the lane marker (it was hard to see with the wet roads, but come on) and then turned right, across three lanes of forward traffic, from the left(ish) lane.

My fantasy involves an aluminum racing jack, four tire dollies and a couple of friends to relocate this rear end in a top hat-toting conveyance into the middle of the street. In reality, I would have found out who handles the parking enforcement and let them know what was up.

I'd have had no qualms about crawling up on the curb with my XJ and getting 1" from his door, but knowing my luck, I'd have been the one to get a ticket as it was right at the entrance. Two other brodozers behind the main building did the same thing.

There's a pizza place near me that has some awkward parking, it's a half dozen spots that exit straight out onto the local street.. there's no real parking lot really. It's low traffic so normally not an issue, but you get to watch some real geniuses gently caress it up and make everyone's life agony. The other night some mom in a giant Escalade sized SUV got it in her hear that pulling out would be easier if she backed in. In theory she's not wrong.. you can see the traffic much easier when driving forward. In practice, she was ill-equipped to pull the maneuver. First attempt at backing in ended with her taking three spots at a sharp angle. So she pulled back into the street, straightened out a bit, and hosed up the approach so now she was taking two spots but was a little more straight. Cue try number three where she pulls into the street again, gets lined up properly, then finally backs into her chosen spot. Best part? It took her so loving long to park the daughter she had sent in to pick up the pizza was already outside, pizza in hand, waiting for mom to finish parking so she could climb in and they could drive off. She was in the parking spot for maybe five seconds total.
