I've lived in big cities, several of them, my entire adult life. And I can say with confidence that this double parking in traffic thing is new and dates to rideshare and food deliveries. 20 years ago in NYC it woulda got you stabbed. |
You have too much time on your hands. |
| The worst is when you try to get around them, they just start driving when they feel like it without even looking around |
It was very common in New York City when I was in college, which was more than 20 years ago. Here’s the reality of life, different places run different ways and in the city people need to double park put on their hazards and do their business. It’s life get over it.. |

Never knew this is a thing.
Does this work better than a fake handicap tag? |
| This is rampant at our local grocery store. Usually in a car worth at least $70k. Despite the store having plenty of parking and not being that popular. |
| I grew up in dc in the 80s and we did this all the time. Its not new behavior. You are just noticing it. |
| Uber and door dash have destroyed our cities. |
DP here. It’s definitely worse now. |
I tripled parked in Bronx regularly back in 1980s. We did it by going in sidewalk. You wanted your car blocked in so would not be stolen. You blow your horn and person blocking you in would come down. |
Is this why they are called Mass Holes? |
OMG, people at the local Harris Teeter do it *ALL THE DAMN TIME* even though there is a parking space available. The driver just sits there waiting for the other person to do a "quick" in/out. Well, I had gone in and out, and that person was still there. They end up blocking one lane of the entrance/exit which causes a backup on both sides. And another time, this ahole double parked on a busy street to pick up their order, and I was stuck behind them because traffic on the other lane was super busy. So damn inconsiderate, sometimes I want to just sit there behind them and sit on my horn. |
| Handicapped driver here and am tired of the Doordash, etc. drivers parking in handicapped spots and areas adjacent to the spot designed to give the handicapped driver extra room to get out. No handicap placard on those cars or HC license plates. |

Try driving down Wilson blvd in Arlington.
Anytime, any direction and 100% you will not go two blocks without the right lane being blocked by someone with their hazards on. |
