Some crazy old lady on NextDoor bitches about people parking in front of her house when they go to the local park (She literally thinks nobody should park in front of anyone else's house, ever. This is the only way to park to go the park unless you park in the park itself, which fills up first). I make it a point to park my big ugly rustbucket Jeep in front of her house whenever I take the dogs up to the offleash.

A dog park I used to live near had a couple parking spots, that would mostly go unused on weekday days. One corner next to the dog park had a friend's house, which was also his company office because software company, and sometimes his employees would park at the dog park, which had no signage prohibiting this. On another corner was a city councilman, who hated seeing cars at the dog park, and got the police to hassle my friend about people parking in public parking. So he quit having his employees park there because keeping the peace is more important than being right sometimes.

Speaking of motorcycles and Nextdoor, someone complained about crotch rockets tearing through their neighborhood. Anyways, apparently the "leader" of this group was also on Nextdoor and this resulted in a bunch of back and forth and name calling between a number of people. He wanted to meet people in person, not to hide behind the internet and said he would handle the situation with his brethren. Reading all that I felt like I was watching a Sons of Anarchy episode where Jax would want a sit down with some poor mom who drives a Camry.

I swear one of these days I'm going to pull some stupid gently caress from their car and beat them to death in the street. Driving home from work, a couple roads up from my job's parking lot at a 4 way intersection and I was waiting in an empty left turn lane for the green arrow. Dipshit in a white Nissan sedan in the lane to my right (straight or right turn only) decides he wants to take a left RIGHT NOW and starts moving into my lane without even looking or using signal, he's staring off in the opposite direction. Scared the poo poo out of him when me and another car blared our horns to wake his dumb rear end up and go by...I mean gently caress, he could've went straight through the intersection, pulled a legal U-turn and then took a right to go the same way and not pissed people off like a moron. BOOTY-ADE fucked around with this message at 02:25 on Jun 21, 2017 |

We have restricted street parking in our neighborhood since in the past people would park on the street and walk to the bus stop to go downtown. We've had more and more people exploiting this since the parking restriction ends at 5pm. We've also had a lot of suspicious activity cars being broken into, one car put up on blocks and the wheels taken the other day, packages being stolen off of porches, etc... Just earlier today our neighbor across the street caught some guy cranking down in his mini van in front of her house. So we're very suspicious of any unfamiliar vehicles parking in front of our houses. This isn't a crap hole neighborhood it's an affluent suburb. People have reasons to suspect unfamiliar vehicles if someone speaks to you about it they probably have a good reason.

Came close to getting taken out twice on the way to work this morning. First was an idiot who dashed out from behind a cement truck that was getting up to speed at 20km/h under what I was doing at the time. The second was a dump truck with a dog trailer that swerved into my lane when I was halfway up the trailer. By the time I jumped off the freeway they hadn't merged across so it may have been a gently caress up on their part. The other thing I saw was a car that shouldn't have been on the road in NSW. I've seen it once before a couple of months ago and I'm surprised the cops haven't picked it off by now. Imagine a Honda CRV from when they were new on the road but this one has a smashed windscreen and no rear window to speak of and the tire thats normally a spare is missing entirely. Now add them to a freeway travelling at 100km/h as they swerve from one side of the lane to the other as though the entire steering system is hosed. They scare me quite a bit so I tend to hang back.

I live in the city, on street parking is the default. Next Door Crazy Lady lives on Fart Street, a two block access road to Fart Park, literally the only reason the road exists. All day every day if you want to go to Fart Park you have to drive up Fart Road and if there's no spot open in Fart Park you have to park on Fart Road. Crazy Lady had lived there since 1985, this fact is not new to her. If you don't like a situation for 32 years, you've had plenty of opportunity to move

You have to remember people will move next to a literal race track, and then write to their local government because the race cars are loud. Guess who wins normally.

We had that in Melbourne where developers built highrise luxury apartments across from the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, one of the largest open air music venues in the country and which has around for more than half a century. Of course, they complained

They probably have arrivals flying over them constantly. Not super low but not high either. Still, gently caress em.

I live about 10km from our airport and directly under the glide path for flights to one of the runways. So when they do fly here, it's pretty drat loud and will drown out music or tv playing at reasonable volumes if I have windows open.

The Ferret King posted:They probably have arrivals flying over them constantly. Not super low but not high either. The arrivals flying over them would be at a fairly high altitude on the downwind leg since the runways are east/west alignment. I've been on a few flights that come in from the right direction to fly above here, and they are all pretty much on idle power losing altitude. These people are just nuts, and all of the homes in that zip code were built long after the jet age was here and Sky Harbor was taking much louder aircraft. I highlighted that zip code because it has an inordinately large number of noise complaints about the airport, even compared to areas that are right in line with the runways, because they are prissy little mcmansion dwellers. But yea, gently caress em.

It's not even that zip code. It's a few houses in that zip code. Overall for the time period that map's dealing with, there were 13,388 complaints from 1,380 households, 9.7 complaints per household. In 85258, 11 households were responsible for 1,636 complaints. In 85266, which is even further to the north, 3 households made 812 complaints (granted, there's another airport up that way, but it's a single-runway GA strip). Yeah: gently caress 'em.

Problem was, he was first in line in the straight-right turn lane at a red light, he wasn't moving at all or trying to merge. As soon as it turned green we both went and he tried shoving his way into the left turn lane like a jackass and almost sideswiped my car. I get what you're saying though and I hate assholes that speed up to block merging as much as the inattentive morons that can't decide where or when they want to make a decision.

Saw a good one yesterday. Two lanes going each direction with a median separating north and south. There is access to businesses even though this is sort of a highway. 55mph speed limit though flow of traffic is usually more like 60 - 65mph. Guy in the left lane realized he was about to miss the driveway to the business he was going to and rather than going through the abundant and convenient U-turn areas and trying again he comes to a complete stop in the left lane. He then just put his right signal on while checking over his shoulder for it to be clear to cut across. I was waiting to pull out of a business further up the road and ended up leaving before I got to see the situation resolved but I didn't see a big mess of plastic and glass all over the side of the road this morning on my way to work so I guess he didn't get hit at the very least. I just can't imagine being in the situation of about to miss my turn and deciding to just stop dead in the far left lane and wait.

I do this sometimes at intersections where it's not strictly painted right turn only, but it turns into a parking lane afterwards. It's mostly to try to beat the next red on stretches of road with lots of traffic lights and people that like to trod along under the speed limit. Makes me feel like a dick but I use my signal as I'm merging in.

I saw what I think was an ambulance with side pipes rolling coal today in Salt Lake City. Edit: to clarify, it was definitely an ambulance. I saw black smoke pouring out from under the left side near the back of the driver's door when he took off from a light. It stopped spewing it once he wasn't hammering it.
