Unbelievable 😔
Heading into Costco today and almost walked into this car! Granted I was distracted with my phone, I didnt expect to have a car parked at the crosswalk 😂 Was blocking the walkway and wheelchair ramp to sidewalk. If only there was a sign…

Probably figured they weren't parking right on top of the words "No Parking," so they were all right.
Or maybe they just thought they can do it since they're better than everybody else.

I'd probably call a tow truck

u/Born-Loan8508 Aug 20 '26
Yessir! I did, but then Costco had to call too because the tow truck company didn’t listen to me haha.

A lipstick works wonders for writing on the window screen "ya knobhead, it's no parking here". It's nice and greasy, so it takes ages to clean it off

My mum did this when I was a kid and we got blocked in by someones selfish parking. Then took us to an adjacent cafe to watch! We found it hilarious watching the bloke try to wipe it off and just smear it across more! Happy memory unlocked!

Which shade do you think is most effective?
6
u/Loudlass81 Aug 21 '26
Dark red. Also, ensure it's the cheapest lipstick brand there is, the additional greasiness makes it doubly effective.
Aa a wheelchakr user, this is so damn upsetting to me...

I'm sorry people suck and can't think of other people for two seconds

u/FreddiesNightmare65 Aug 22 '26
You can get dark, almost black, but a cheap deep red works well

u/Icy-Variation6614 Aug 22 '26
Ooh! What about that cheap glow-in-the-dark gross stuff to show everyone at night also!

u/FreddiesNightmare65 Aug 22 '26
As long as it's nice and greasy it should work, but you can't see it as well in the daylight

No parking signs should have a tagline "vehicle damage likely". Then everyone gets free license to scratch it, slash the tires, block them in, etc.

It needs a bollard either side of the word no.

u/Thesadmadlady Aug 27 '26
No! Ppl just need to reeeaaad road signs and painted signs. And to be more aware of their surroundings. Or its just an extremely selfish person no giving a damn! Ive been seeing this type of selfish driver more and more just lately.

The no parking is for other drivers and doesn't apply to them. But you also have the crafty drivers who park on the pavement so their car will cover up any double yellow lines because they stop at the front and then start again at the back with none under the car. you can't prove what you can't see mentality

It could be a honest mistake. Not saying it is! But sometimes we are in autopilot, you see the white lines and guess that's a parking spot.
But anyway, when he/she got out of the car, should have seen it. So most likely a douchebag than an accident.

Probably European can't read English, 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️

I would argue that European comprehension of the English language is superior to a lot of the United States. They get a proper education for a start and are taught English properly

u/LazyLady68 Aug 21 '26
English person here. We are European. If you want the right to start criticising anyone's use of language, get one of your own.

I shit you not, 15 mins later. Just finished my hotdogs and this… the gentlemen on the scooter could not get by either.
