End vent.

I went thru kiss and ride today and got out of the car and opened my trunk and got out my kid's REALLY HEAVY PERCUSSION INSTRUMENT BAG that he needs for band. He cannot carry it on to the bus b/c it is too heavy, nor can he get it out of the car or trunk without help.

Why don't you mind your own business.

Stop using the freaking kiss and ride lane if you have to get crap out of your car. Park and take it out.

You can wait for a tuba. Not gonna kill you.

It's a safety issue. When using k&r the driver stays in the car, the student(s) exit from the passenger side and walk towards the school, not to the trunk, not around the car, but straight to the school. If you have special circumstances you PARK and deal with it. That's your problem to deal with.

Nope. Not my problem, because I'm not lugging a tuba. I'm getting it out of the trunk. Too bad for you.

Nope. At my school you'd be shamed by the principal if you tried to pull that nonsense off. Nobody gets out but the students. If you did try you'd be stopped and scolded by the principal and everyone would laugh at your stupidity.

Can't shame me. I do as I please. Too bad.

lol!!!!!! They would not let you out of your car. I'd love to see you try to start a fight with the principal about getting your baby's tuba out of the trunk. Now that would be hilarious. Nobody would complain about being late after that scene. Lol. Crazy people rarely keep it a secret very long, do they?

Not PP but why do you feel so entitled as to disrespect the basic ground rules of the kiss and ride line? Why can't you just park on the days your child brings their instrument so you can help them get it out of the car but not impact all of the other families?

I don't use the carpool lane but I don't see how it's reasonable for the parent of a single fourth grader who could cross the street herself to be demanding that the parent with a Kindergartner who cannot unbuckle herself should be the family that has to go and park, forcing the parent with an infant and toddler in the back to then get all three kids unbuckled and buckled back in.

Because the point of carpool lane is to keep the line going quickly. The window is short. The people who hold it up should not be in the carpool lane. I don't know why that is so difficult.

Once the K parent becomes a parent of a 2nd grader, she, too, will be cursing the parent who gets out of the car to unbuckle, get tubas out of the trunk and any other random reason why the parent finds the need to hold up the carpool lane.

Not the PP you are referring to, but as far as I can tell, there isn't a place to park and take my kid's instrument out. The school is on a long lane. The street attached to the lane doesn't have parking and wouldn't work with having to walk through the stream of kiss-n-ride vehicles to get to the sidewalk on the long lane. I understand that there is a hostility to people brushing hair or having conversations with staff in the k-n-r lane, but it literally takes 20 sec. for me to get my kid's instrument out of the trunk and get back in the car. I'm not holding anyone up. While some of the anecdotes are not appropriate k-n-r behavior, I think many of you need to simmer down. I'm going to keep pulling out the percussion and I take pains to be quick. You have to wait for about 5 sec. more than usual (b/c it takes some time for your kid to get out of the car as well). So, really, this is a whole lot of mountain out of a molehill. I don't have an option other than k-n-r when it's band day. I'm going to use it. Most of you seem to have an option == such as walking or using the bus. You can avoid being irritated. Save yourself.
