Not enough space for a stroller, had to walk in the middle of the street to go around the SUV.

    See, my crippled ass is going to squeeze through anyway. Even if that means the metal clasps on my shoulder bag grind against the vehicle, or even if the attachment point for the strap on my cane happens to dig in if I happen to stumble because of the tight space.

    Will that result in dents and scrapes? Absolutely. Do I care? Absolutely not.

      My non-crippled ass would possibly also have some issues. I might trip with my keys in my hand or something worse. Who’s to know what dangers parking like this could pose.

    Usually I scratch the paint off. Sure it’s not acceptable, but fuck cars. I’ve also smashed the ad signs in Sydney.

      As shitty as people can be, it’s never appropriate to respond to non-damaging inconvenience with vandalism. That’s you stooping even lower than their level.

    I haven’t tried it yet, but I’ve heard that you can call to get vehicles towed if they are blocking the sidewalk. I don’t know if that’s in every municipality, but I suspect the tow companies and the city would not mind the revenue.
