Me as an uber driver waiting for my passenger:

The loading zone is for loading and unloading only, there is no parking in the loading zone.

[–] aport@programming.dev 4 points 2 hours ago

Don't tell me which zone is for stopping and which is for loading

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

It's better than that lol. The last time I heard that announcement at the airport (been several years), it was "The loading zone is for immediate loading and unloading only". These people park in the fire lane for 15-20 minutes while their passenger "just goes in for a few things".

If I’m in the driver’s seat, I’m ready to move if a fire truck shows up

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

The line of "ready to move" drivers behind you will make sure any fire truck stays way back and is unable to show up to the first car closing the street.

Right, that's...what they all say. But if you're blocking the ramps and I have to heave-ho my cart over the curb and/or walk around a parade of other parked cars, it gets annoying.

"It's okay, I put the park-anywhere lights on"

am not a boomer; see a wide variety of ages just park their shit on the curb next to the front door like they own the store, don't think this is a generational thing.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 1 points 5 hours ago

True enough; selfishness, entitledness, and laziness are not strictly a generational things, but I've seen this for over 25 years (worked retail from high school and through college), and it always seems like it's the Boomers who get it going, and other people go "me too" and line up behind them.

I used to push carts at a liquor store. The amount of times I had to wave cars away so I could push the carts up the ramp was insane. There’s 100 parking spots 50 feet away, pick one!
