Mildly Infuriating

You can walk around them, people in a wheelchair or with a buggy cannot. Disrespectful af.

Okay, so as a cab driver I have a lot of opportunities to get frustrated with how selfish and myopic people are. But you know what happens when I do that? I make myself miserable.

I, personally, find that my mental state is much, much better the more I'm willing to accept people not doing things 'the right way'. Yes, I could get annoyed for the hypothetical people who might encounter an obstacle to their mobility here (who have not and may not ever arrive), but what will that actually do for me or for anyone else?

Unless I'm actually moving the obstacle my disapproval is completely useless. It may even cause me to do something stupid and inconsiderate myself as I become distracted by my annoyance.

But if I just let it go, smile, and move on, the utter insignificance of the action can just fade into the background and not make itself part of my focus on how to reflect on humanity or my day.

Well, there's three bikes in this picture and only one car. The car is taking up more space than all of the bikes. Simple solution: get rid of that car parking spot and turn it into bike parking. Now more people can visit the businesses!

In the US, this would be a F250 extended King Cab blocking your path while idling and spewing diesel exhaust.

I guess our "mildly" infuriating things are different.

While they could have snugged them in, they do need the ability to park them somewhere while shopping. One option is in the road, like the white van. Or put up some bike racks to guide parking. This is poor city planning.

Whoops, accidentally bumped into your bikes as I walked down the sidewalk they were parked on!

I might be too american, but I'm more concerned about leaving a bike outside unlocked without a fear to have it stolen. How does that work?

Mostly pisses me off because it blocks disabled people. I wouldn't blame them for knocking it down.

you may not realize...that belongs to the main character

There’s an office building near me where one of the employees parks his Harley Davison motorcycle on the handicapped ramp of an emergency exit. Granted it doesn’t see daily foot traffic but someone in a wheelchair might need to, you know, escape a fire.

I'm in the US and when I read the title I assumed it'd be a car parked in an insane way. I wish we had the opportunity to be mad at bikes haha. The closest is people dumping scooters wherever or they try to park them politely but then they fall over

I'm so used to having to bend over backwards to walk anywhere in Greece that I literally could not see the problem

Those rental scooters in my city are always parked so they obstruct as much of the sidewalk as possible, it's so infuriating.

I'm so mad at people who don't properly park their rented scooters. I always take my time to put them aside if they're a hindrance on the sidewalk but it infuriates me how it just takes TWO seconds to not be an asshole and people still don't bother.

Yes you can walk round it but could you get past with a pram?

I know this was in the Netherlands before I even saw the Dutch licenseplate lol. This is common practise, very annoying tho.

I'm sure the one person that parked that van is really miffed by how much space those three bikes are taking up.

Serious Costco sample area vibes.

Yes, you can walk around it but what about someone in a wheelchair?

I have no clue what this is about. Can someone please explain?

Of course. They're the main characters. You're just a side character pleb so you wouldn't understand.

Where I live, all of those bikes would have been stolen within ten minutes anyway
