I found a note in my apartment’s parking lot (on the ground, not my or any vehicle) the other day that said “I hope you don’t fuck like you park” and had myself a giggle.
BMW… shocker.
Before I even opened the comments I knew the first post was going to point out it was a BMW lol.
Of course.
I even hate non-terrible parking since it take so much space.
Always a BMW driver
I wouldn’t say it’s always a BMW driver, but I would say of course it’s a BMW.
Fair enough!
What’s the difference between a BMW and a porcupine?
With a porcupine, the pricks are on the outside.
They weren’t even trying!
License plates are not private, they are literally unobscured so everyone can see them. Why do people censor them out?
It seems that it’s an European country, and here privacy laws are more strict regarding to licence plates on pictures. It’s wiser to censor them.
EDIT: here is an article about the topic (in Spanish).
Ah makes sense. Also I see that lemmy.world is hosted in the Netherlands, so it’s all coming together for me in my head. Thank you for the reply.
And IIRC, license plates only need to be censored if bad behavior is demonstrated. Notice that the car to the left which was correctly parked has an exposed license plate.
What baffles me is that the plate number is only meaningful to law enforcement. The public does not get access to the records associated with a plate number. I see no reason to hide the info from law enforcement. The evidence may be too low of a standard to be usable, but so be it.
A jealous partner seeing the car where it shouldn’t had been is enough, isn’t it? Or the boss where the worker should had been elsewhere, or… Inhabitants of small districts also don’t need a license plate database to know.
The onus is not on social media to make sure your jealous partner didn’t see your license plate. Is Lemmy subject to european privacy laws? Is this instance hosted in the country in question? Serious questions.
Erring on the side of maintaining the privacy of strangers is always better than the alternative.
It’s good sense, regardless of the jurisdiction of a specific Lemmy instance.
I usually like to give people the benefit of the doubt and say maybe there was an idiot parked next to them that left, and now they look like the idiot. But that’s egregiously bad.
I’ve seen one case where this was necessary although it looked equally awful (in a handicap spot, which this is not) because some asshole had originally parked half in a handicap spot, so a van with a motorized ramp didn’t have the space to extend it fully to get people out. So it had to take up both spots to extend the ramp.
None of which appears to apply in this picture, the owner of that car is just a jerk.
What gets me is people who park partially in the sidewalk
Typical BMW driver
Pig Parker!
What, you wanted them to park on that innocent parent and child?
“Look, I’m not not a woman wearing a skirt, but I am a parent, so what do expect me to do, eh!” – Some childless dude (probably)
They did it to such an extent I think they parked this way just because they knew it would mildly infuriate people.
I live in France… this is normal for us.
Just looks like standard BMW parking to me.
I may regret saying this: I drive a BMW. Shockingly a) I indicate before turning or changing lanes and b) I can park. I have zero patience for those who don’t indicate or don’t park reasonably (regardless of car manufacturer).
