      Anywhere there are lots of uber drivers. They will park in the middle of the street in front of my apartment building blocking the path while delivering someone’s overpriced meal.

      I also despise those who use hazard lights to slowly drive around with a broken vehicle. If the fucking car is dangerous to drive DON’T DRIVE IT !

      Hazard lights are meant to signify a hazard like an accident or damage driveway forcing you to do a “dangerous maneuver”. Not to warn others not to hit your car because you are doing something illegal.

        I can understand limping it down the road to a safer spot. Not every one can afford a tow. In the UK your told to put the hazerds on and get into the hardsholder then limp (if you can) to the next junction.

        In my area, so many people are on their phones on the fucking interstate, it’s got to the point where I’m using them when I see traffic ahead in hopes I won’t get crushed between a pavement princess and a semi

      When I lived in Virginia people would park their cars in the fire lanes at strip-malls, usually right under the “fire lane: no parking or standing” signs, next to the curb parked yellow or red. They would turn on their hazard lights and go inside to get their dry cleaning or pick up coffee or whatever.

      Los Angeles, for one. Drive home from dropping kids off at daycare, ran into this four times in a 10 minute period-- two on a major street, blocking (admittedly light) traffic.

      Ubers, deliveries, Amazon vans… ugh.

      In California I’ve seen it mostly done by Uber Eats drivers. In Massachusetts it’s done by everyone everywhere, but more generally Massachusetts drivers treat traffic laws more as traffic suggestions.

      Montreal. A friend came to visit me one day and he’s from a much smaller city. He couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw a car double parked and took a picture.

      In the UK it’s the taxi magic trick. As soon as you see it you know some tourist who thinks they are on the right side will hop in to traffic.

      Youre lucky.

      My town - all the time. Uber eats drivers. People picking up their kids. At SUPERMARKETS and Costco.
