  3. Home again, hallelujah.

    The rot set in 3 metres from the end of my driveway. Footpath blocked by matronly women having a natter. They were shocked to discover that these houses are inhabited, not just a backdrop for their witless existence.

    Halfway to the shops, an idiot exited his driveway at speed and stopped, blocking the footpath while he went back inside for something. #YPLAC

    Five metres from the shops, a car that had been indicating a turn into the carpark failed to turn and nearly ran me over instead. It was in the livery of the joint at the end of the road, the Royal Society for the Blind, not that I'm leaping to conclusions.

    I generally abhor violence. Generally.

  5. @radiotea For those following along at home: this is specifically *not* allowed in #Edinburgh, and parking attendants are supposed to be issuing tickets. edinburgh.gov.uk/parking/new-p

    Illegal parking at this location (in #Newington next to the pharmacy, right?) is really common…

  7. @chloeraccoon that is Epic Level #yplac

    Only thing missing is disabled spaces.

  9. Saw some staggeringly dickish parking while out and about yesterday. #YPLAC

  11. @yakkoj maybe it's the ultimate one, but it also applies to any 4×4 in an urban situation, especially one found in a #yplac situation

  13. Is there a #YPLAC on the fediverse?

    Though this seems more abandoned than parked.

    Untaxed as of a few days ago.

    Making things difficult for the poor sightseeing bus drivers!

    Who do you call about something like this... non emergency number? Going to leave it an hour and see if it vanishes. Has been left unlocked with a window wide open and hazards on. Odd!

  15. #YPLAC twixmas edition: Top work in blocking both the pavement and the hatched door-opening space in the disabled bay.

  16. Told a driver he was parked on the zebra crossing zigzags on Gloucester road. He wound the window down and said 'The crossing is clear'. I said, that's not the point, you're not allowed on the zigzags, that's what they mean. He said, 'I work for the council'. I made a show of going to look at his license plate and he fucked off. #carbrain #badparking #yplac

  17. My daily #yplac by local rental #escooters. No accountability, no number plate, no social responsibility. 😡

    I love e-scooters & believe they are an essential component in city mobility. They're cheap, take little space on the road & public transport (#multimodal!), need little space to park (except #yplac users 👆), are compatible with bicycle & #ebike infrastructure, …

    Governments need to get a grip & legislate to encourage wide, responsible & safe use. Be like Berlin, not Paris nor Alicante.

  19. I completely understand the sentiment and resentment against #escooters & rentals in particular.

    Banning them doesn't seem like a good solution, though
    Technology exists to disincentivise the #yplac behaviour. The rental companies don't see it as profitable to force any kind of good behaviour on customers.

    Germany (e.g. Berlin) seems to have sussed it with insurance, number plates, policing, homologation, helmets.

  21. Look at this utter bastardly parking seen while out and about this morning. This shit is totally unacceptable, especially from a business. Wheelchair users or anyone else who can't negotiate that little bit of pavement they've deigned to leave us would be forced to go around on the road, into the oncoming traffic **which can't see them.** It makes me furious. 😡 #BadParking #YPLAC

  23. There’s a new (to me) #modalFilter in our (heavily car dependant) French village. But someone has to go and wreck it by parking in the archway. 🙄

  24. Is #yplac a thing in the fediverse? Because if it is, I have a grade a candidate - this white wankpanzer (which wasn't showing a blue badge, and even if it was, was less than fifteen metres from the disabled parking bay) in Stamford earlier this evening.
    Hi there YR72 CDO - you park like a c...

  25. one for @yplac and who needs something that size in a city where many of the roads are this narrow? wonder which of the trucks carries the most stuff too #quito #yplac

  26. Imagine parking like this … and still considering yourself a decent human being?

    Funnily enough, Edinburgh’s online parking complaint form doesn’t have an option for parking over Zig-Zag lines. So I reported it as a double yellow.

    If anyone has a better way to report, I’m all ears.

  27. @Pat For reference #YPLAC is (was?) a popular account and hashtag on the birdsite/$8chan. There doesn’t seem to have been much of an uptake on it in the fediverse, yet, at least not that I’m aware of.

  28. Is there a #YDLAC (in the vein of #YPLAC) for twenty-something morons who drive for literally miles glued to their fucking phone and faffing with their fucking hair instead of paying attention to the fucking road? Asking for a me.

    Note to self: get a rear cam fitted.

  29. @richmintz We need to get the #YPLAC hashtag going in the fediverse.
