Hey there friend. You need to learn to park or stop driving. Seriously, you're endangering lives for your convenience. You get the whole damned road while everyone else is allocated the slightest fraction to safeguard ourselves from drunks, assholes, and morons pushing two tonnes of steel and glass at 60mph while they stare at their phones and you think it's ok to push kids on bikes into that channel of death because you can't be bothered to look for a legit parking spot? I get that your employer is pressuring you for better times, but you're literally breaking the law and that law exists for a reason.
Every one of the 4 of the drivers I saw that day were parking on the cycle lane when they had multiple more reasonable options available to them:
What you're doing is lazy, selfish, and dangerous. Those cycle lanes are barely safe as they are without constantly being blocked by selfish people who think that they double as a parking space. You already have nearly the entirety of the city for your vehicle. Leave these alone.
Condescending piece of shit. Fuck you.
The premise alone that you're not the one who needs to be gotten through to but I am. Spoiled fucking brat. And the fucking nerve to think you can not just talk down to me, but act like you even have the fucking knowledge to speak on this situation from the perspective of an outsider. Childlike entitlement and narcissism. And fucking stupid in the worst, laziest way. Incurious and presumptive.
Then walk away. Message me again when you're in a place where you can admit you're wrong. I'm not going to waste my time or energy on you until you're ready to accept the premise that I'm a human being that deserves equal consideration to you.
And since conceding that puts you at odds with your spoiled entitlement to my physical well being, I expect you to shut the fuck up and not reply at all.
This is what I get for trying to be civil. You're a terrible person and you should be ashamed of yourself.
Acting like you're doing a favor by being seething and condescending instead of openly hostile isn't being civil, you spoiled fucking child. Just demonstrating your complete lack of self awareness.
You're guilty of everything you're accusing me of. For your convenience you want to sacrifice my safety. You're entitled and selfish. You genuinely think you're more important than other people. You think I'm a bad person because I don't want to be treated that way. Grow the fuck up.
I told you to walk away until you calmed down and could accept the possibility that you're wrong. You couldn't do that. Do you think I'm being unfair when I call you a spoiled narcissistic child in this context? If you do you're exactly as stupid as you've demonstrated so far.
You should read Marx, you know, educate yourself. Those delivery drivers are agents of the bourgeoisie, and class traitors don't deserve respect.
Entitled treat hogs want their shit in 24 hours and they want all the consequences to fall on the people 'lower' than them. Fuck them.
The problem, my dear, is Amazon.
The problem is suburbs and single family homes. They want all of the convenience and infrastructure of living in a city they just want it spread out to the point they never have to interact with anyone else. Give me a centralized community center where people go to get their deliveries and it solves everybody's problem.
That's also a problem. Most of the people on Fuck Cars also acknowledge that suburbanism is not sustainable, and want denser communities.
