To the absolute visionary stopped in the middle of a two-lane road today: I hope whatever was happening in your car was worth the high-stakes game of “Guess Who’s Behind the Metal Box” you forced on the rest of us. There was absolutely nothing around you. A perfectly empty curb sat two feet to your right. Yet, you chose to park in the active lane, right next to a pedestrian crossing. The car in front of me tried to overtake your stationary obstacle and nearly leveled a pedestrian you were blocking from view. I know, I know—the “Park Anywhere” button is very tempting. But newsflash: those blinking lights don’t actually make your car transparent, and they don’t grant you immunity from being the reason someone ends up in Harborview. Use the curb. It’s the concrete thing at the edge of the road. I promise it won’t bite. TL;DR: If you’re going to stop on a two-lane road, pull to the curb. Don’t park in the lane next to a crosswalk and turn your car into a blind-spot generator for unsuspecting pedestrians. M*th*f****r submitted by /u/boltj |
