I pit my obsessive-parent neighbor

What? What backpedaling? I stand by what I said.

I addressed:

That you were responding to someone else.

That I was talking about cold weather.

That I couldn’t read for comprehension.

Given all that , I saw no need to repeat my original reply to you. But call me an idiot and say goodnight and don’t reply to me anymore if that works for you. Happily, that works for me, too.

I was just pissed at the parent who parked their car in front of a STOP SIGN to wait with their kid for a bus. We were on the way to work and stopped behind an SUV that we assumed was about to go through the intersection . . . but it didn’t. Then we realized it’s brake lights weren’t on. The SUV was up to the stop bar and everything, like the parent had randomly decided to park. Not enough curb for you?

She cheerfully waved us around. OK, there’s a slight chance her SUV randomly died at the stop sign. Except:

She was in the exact same spot the next day.

Who the fuck parks at a stop sign??? Not even pulled up to the curb, on a residential street that’s too narrow for marked lanes??

We were debating calling the police non-emergency number if she was there the third day, but she wasn’t.

You couldn’t be bothered to address the fact that your original rude post had zero to do with anything anyone had said, and that you claimed I said something I didn’t. All because you are some holier than thou idiot parent. You are now trying to pretend that it didn’t happen by throwing up strawmen. If you have any integrity, you’ll go back and read your original post and note that it had nothing to do with what I said, nor what anyone else in this thread has said.

Speaking of idiot parent parking Gedd, yesterday I was backing out of my driveway and stopped for a car going by. Only to find the car had parked in the middle of the street right next door to let a kid off. Not enough curb for you indeed - she was also in park judging by the flash of the backup lights when she realized there are indeed other folks in the world and maybe she shouldn’t block the road.

I did re-read it when you first responded. Disagreeing with your conclusions is not my being disingenuous. I believe my post was relevant and on topic. You don’t. We’ll both live.

That’s really all I have to say to you on this topic.

You seriously think anyone said that parents never drive their kids to a bus stop one can see from the house and then sitting there running the car?

Wow.

We get it.

You fucking hate kids.

We know, we know.

Nah, I fucking hate people like you who make wild jumps of illogic.

:wink:

That’s a thing of beauty - I’m totally adding that to my repertoire. :slight_smile:

Why would anyone bother to start a car only to drive 30 feet, park and wait, and then drive thirty feet back to their driveway?

I’m finding that hard to believe, like stories of someone getting in their car to get the mail at the foot of the driveway.
