rant of the day

[karadinart]

If you live directly across from the school, expect people to park in front of your house. A handmade sign 'don't park here' does not affect the ability to park on the public street. If people are not blocking your driveway, you can't complain. I lived across from a university and parking was hell, it comes with the territory. call the police if you want, they will laugh at you. In the meantime, I will be here for 4 min to get my disabled child into his school the first day because his bus never came.

People are rabid when it comes to parking (and not parking) - my hubby worked for the council looking after bus stops for a while, and the number of people who complained vehemently about a bus stop somewhere in the vicinity of their house because the nasty common people on the bus might possibly look over their hedge, or even worse, wait at the bus stop being all common and nasty and stuff...

The bus that picks up special needs kids didn't come for my son on the first day of school, either. In fact, it didn't come for anyone. I took my son to school, and ran into a gang of angry mothers complaining that the bus never showed, and the principal heard from every last one of them. Needless to say, the bus showed up the next day.

We lived across the street from a middle school before we moved, and you know, my mother... *eye roll*

I go to a café next door to a women who rings the owner every time a customer parks in front of her house because she doesn't like people parking there. She's been told if it bothers her so much to contact the council to put a sign up. We don't know if she has (probably not), but the council hasn't put up a sign. And we still park in front of her house! Silly cow.
