    Unfortunately, I'm there frequently. The security there don't do anything to keep the area clear. They told me they are told that it is a police issue and that the police do nothing about it.

    There are a couple vehicles that do it daily. Each of the pics is a different day.


    I called the police once or twice. They say it's not an emergency. Never show up. I've taken video and pictures to the station. Again nothing.

    It certainly is a ridiculous situation especially when it's clearly marked and is know to cause issues such as you illustrated. Very similar situation happens at my kids school. Every day I pick my kids up from school because we live in a neighboring town. This is at an elementary school and parents park in the fire lane along the whole front of the school. Then when those fill up they park along the opposite side of driveway. Every day I walk in the principal is always there in the driveway directing traffic so that the idiots who park there don't run over the kids and parents walking out to their cars parked where they're supposed to be ...in the lot. He and I make jokes about how moronic these parents can be when it comes to parking. He makes signs, puts out cones, etc and people just ignore them.
    Seen a few shouting matches between parents out there too.

    My children school does the same thing. 2 years ago I punched out a side window from a parent that ran over my foot and almost hit 2 other children in front of them. The Ethiopian lady was on her phone, she "didn't 'see' any of us" - Was reflex, not a show of force.

    The principal at their school doesn't take a proactive roll either. The police officer that is assigned to the school just ignores it too.

    At dismissal time, all the cars block every vehicle that is parked legally in a spot in. Then they CANT let the person out that is blocked in since they are blocked in. End up having to sit for over an hour for the dismissal to happen and the vehicles to cycle through. Not proud that I have had to jump the curbs many times at my childrens' school to leave when blocked in. In a safe and controlled manner.

    Don't get me started on the idiots that blow the stop sign of school busses when they are letting children out.

    Thats a misdemeanor here in NY. I've never seen it happen... I can't stand people that only think about themselves.

    I always do my best to stay out of people's way when I park places like that if I'm waiting for my wife. She's pregnant so I'm parking close if she runs in somewhere.

    Not being a dick, but it seems you are. There looks like a lot of space for you or anyone else to get around.

    Drop her off then come back. It's a no standing zone for a reason. Lots of people's wives, girlfriends are pregnant. Lots of people have handicaps, lots of people are just "running on for a second" have respect for others.

    ^^^ Sick Fred!!! How many inches??!! Killington got 6" but I can't ski until tomorrow :(

    My first job was at a supermarket. I was on break in front of the store. This guy pulls up and parks in the fire lane next to the store's entrance. On his way in, he looks at me and says "Yeah, I'm one of those assholes." Then heads in to do his shopping.

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    around the grille and shit will be the same as it is now, just bigger. the issue will be those shitty flares that dont come all the way down and dont appear to have a split for the bumper cover. cutting fun there.

    It will be interesting to see who of the talented fabricators around here will be the first to get their hands on one and start designs on it. The lower portion on the new gen definitely doesn't do it for me.
