    no one cares


    I'm a real MD at a hospital. So maybe I shouldn't care about your health or life when you come in for treatment?


    I'm not buying it.
    A REAL doctor, would not refer to themselves as "a real MD".
    You are just piling on trying to find an excuse for your boorish behavior.

    He's either not a doctor, or his specialty is something that's not actually stressful so he's avoiding specifically saying what it is. Dude's probably an anesthesiologist, and this whole incident took place while he was picking up crossword puzzles for his shift.

    I do this all the time when there are not any parking spots and I'm only going to be out of my car for 1-2 minutes. Is it really worth my time to spend 15 minutes finding a spot and then walking 15 minutes for something that would take 1-2 minutes? Absolutely not.

    The Police would have a laugh riot responding to something like this. Hopefully this lady was fined for making a fake call to the Police. After all, by the time they got there (probably 30 minutes later) you were long gone.

    Straw men everywhere. There are few places where you would actually only spend 1-2 min. Your 1-2 = 7-8 probably in reality. There are few places where it would take *15min* to find a parking spot and/or another 15 to walk there.

    Even if all that were true, its not your place to inconvenience anyone else.

    That is the definition of self-centered dooshbaggery.

    This exact scenario has caused confrontations at a Starbucks near my office. People park along the curb in a strip mall and ingress/egress is f-ed up but hey, their flashers are ON so everyone just stand down!

    Police in most cases wont be interested b/c its private property (ex. a strip mall) but if its a public road, they will respond.

    I believe she was right to call the cops as in most states this a Class A Douche Bagelony. I believe first time offenders have to carry around a Trump sex doll for a weekend.

    If this woman called the cops for something like that, she probably calls the cops all of the time.
    And I bet the cops ignore her.

    If she is hot then it was justified. Probably should have called the Fire Dept instead though.

    There is NOTHING that says "I'm a doozhe" like leaving your car in a non-parking spot and believing that your flashers are some kind of permission slip.

    ...from the playbook of your typical Audi owner.

    Honestly, I wouldn't have called the cops on you but I always wonder why people like you think that every rule meant to maintain order and safety in our community somehow doesn't apply to you. It's like when I'm running at the local park and there's always one person who decided the leash laws don't apply to them and their dog is running free and either jumps on me or at me. It's the smug self of entitlement that is most annoying.

    You are. Beginning your post with "so" is simply unacceptable. Nobody begins their posts with "so" except for trolls.

    Try not to be so obvious next time. At least wait until the end of your post to include the dead giveaway.

    In parking in front of the food shop were you blocking a ramp for the handicapped or were you in front of a fire hydrant? There is usually a good reason why you can't park in certain places.

    I can't imagine what people find so appealing about a car dependent lifestyle. If I want to run an errand 99% of the time, I just walk out my front door and go to whatever business I need to visit. Insisting on dragging 3,000lbs of metal everywhere and then constantly worrying about where to leave it seems more like a curse someone puts on an enemy than something a person willingly chooses.


    Since you are wondering, I'll tell you that the the appeal for me is living in the suburbs and not in an urban cesspool, which is the only place where public transportation is available. Also, how do you go skiing, trail running, hiking, camping, climbing, surfing, etc? Uber? No likely.

    This stupid lady you speak of must be a member of the Boomer generation (aka the worst generation, aka the entitlement generation, aka those who have destroyed America)

    Boomers are a worthless generation that has done nothing but destroy this country and continually take credit for things they did not do. They have run BOTH political parties into the ground and are responsible for running the economy into the ground and creating a mountain of debt by consistently voting for generous entitlements for themselves while simultaneously refusing to pay (i.e. Raise taxes) for those entitlements.

    They claim they have benefited us all by giving us cultural gifts--by starting movements that gave us equal rights for blacks, women, gay folks, by giving us modern music (like rock & roll) through their pioneering efforts, by giving us modern computer science, and through things like iconic movies.

    But a closer look at these claims reveals their lies. As a starting point, please take note that it is widely agreed that Boomers were born 1946-1964. This means that the oldest members of this generation turned 30 in 1976 and, thus, they have been running the show in the US since the mid to late 1970s.

    The major civil rights leaders for black equal rights in the 60s (Martin Luther King, Jr., Medger Evers, Rosa Parks, Ceaser Chavez, Fred Shuttlesworth, Jon Lewis, Malcom X, and many more) were all born in the 20s to early 40s. But you know who is a boomer? Al Sharpton.

    The major players in the second wave feminist movement (Gloria Steinem, Betty Friedan, Mary King, Alice Rossi) of the 60s were all born in 20s - early 40s as well. Of course, this means the women who fought for basic equal rights (like the right to vote) were even older. These brave women were not boomers. But Boomers are the leaders of the disgusting mess that is third wave feminism...

    The folks that were the pioneers in equal rights for gay people (Harvey Milk, Del Martin, Phyllis Lyon) also not Boomers.

    Who is widely acknowledged to be the father of modern computer science? Alan Turing. A gay non-Boomer.

    Let's examine the music claims...Jimmi Hendrix? Jim Morrison? The Beatles? The Rolling Stones? Bob Dylan? Yup, all non-Boomers.

    How about movies, directors, actors, etc?... Stanley Kubrick? Harrison Ford? George Lucas? Robert De Niro? Al Pacino? Robert Duval? Martin Scorsese? Clint Eastwood? George Romero? Francis Ford Coppala? Chevy Chase? Steve Martin? J.J. Abrams? The entire Monty Python crew? Yup, all non-boomers.

    To summarize, Boomers frequently claim that their generation was responsible for major cultural and art movements but it's totally not true. Boomers are parasites and leeches....and I am assume some are good people. We should build a wall on our southern boarder, strip the boomers of their ill-gotten entitlements, and ship them down to old Mexico. All of our problems would be solved. Let's make America great again!

    I did this once in Boston and got a $70 ticket while I was a poor student. So I knew it was wrong. Never made that mistake again. Those damn police or meter maids who hand out tickets are the hardest working city employees you'll ever find. It's cool for police, on or off duty, to park wherever they want though.
