    I mean if it really bothers you and it’s legitimately been there for 2 weeks there is a number to call and they will fine them.

    They mostly don't, even if you complain or if the vehicle is parked illegally or sits over the 72h limit. I have called that number.

    311 has a ranking system for complaints.

    I complained about a broken sidewalk 3 times. The first two times were ordinary complains.

    The third one I called it a dangerous hazard adjacent to an elementary school. It got fixed 4 days later.

    I tried that for one particular vehicle. Operator told me it was registered "nearby" and they aren't doing shit.

    We had this all the time at my old house except usually it was junkers from the townhouses a block and a half away.
    Yeah, a house sold last year across the street and we think they rent out the rooms. There's always at least 4 vehicles that are randomly parked up and down the street.

    I mean if it really bothers you and it’s legitimately been there for 2 weeks there is a number to call and they will fine them. And eventually tow them. Just be prepared for the ensuing parking war because let’s be real 72 hours without moving your car would burn a lot of people.

    It sort of bothers me, not really enough to really do anything about it.


    UPDATE: Truck has been moved, but after the cleaners went by.

    People who want to "cheers" food with you.
    No. That's not a thing. Go find a fire to die in.
    I'm not touching my chicken wing with yours before I put it in my mouth. I'm not making a clink noise with our forks dripping with whatever the fuck restaurant slop.

    Eat a dick. We're not even acquaintances anymore. I will leave you hanging with an awkward silence that will deafen you.

    Well fuck you too dude. You could have said something during supper today when we cheers to cheddar smokies but you decided to wait until after I left. Thinly veiled comments changing the food to chicken wing doesn't fool me.

    To think I even shared a dram of Blue Label with you pisses me off.

    Fuck. You.

    It was more of a Dinner For Schmucks type of thing that turned into a showcase of food and beverages gaudily served from their original packaging.
    You didn't miss much.

    Had a neighbor park in front of my house, not a big deal. Then it doesn't move for 2 weeks. Not an inch. Just sits there. Now today they are cleaning the streets, and they have to go around the vehicle. The street cleaning signs say that parked cars will be ticketed, but there's no ticket on the truck.

    The worst part is that I don't want people thinking I own a FORD F150!!
    They'll get a ticket in the mail

    Usually the parking authority goes round before the street sweeper gets there and logs any vehicles that haven't been moved

    I got one a couple of years back because the sign says something like 8am-5pm and I didn't leave for work until 8.45

    Sweeper hadn't been round when I left, so I took a bunch of pictures and fought it...luckily I had seen the guy going round noting the registrations otherwise I wouldn't have taken any pics and been SOL

    People who don't put their shopping carts back. I was just at costco and watched a woman who was two spots away from an empty cart corral wedge her cart between her truck and the vehicle parked behind her instead of walking the 10-15ft to put it away. It took her longer to position it perfectly so it fit between the two vehicles without touching either than it would have to put it away.
