You just need to use a little gentle persuasion. Perhaps try a larger hammer?





People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

 

 

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

Not content with putting a sign on the edge of the footpath, one retailer is now putting two things right in the middle.

Haha, when I used to work in a video store the owner was always talking about making sure her signs were right in peoples way because you have to TRAIN the customers to come INTO the store - it usually resulted in annoyed patrons coming INTO the store to YELL at the STAFF

Those twonks really annoy me. These are a menace to elderly and disabled. If I see them I move them. If they are able to be carried I have picked them up and moved them down the street. A friend used to move them right over the offending shop door.

Obviously an inorganic rubbish collection, I would suggest adding to it some old tires, a worn out sofa, and something rusty.

People parking half on their berm and half on the footpath, with a car parked on the road right next to it...very specific, I know. 

 

Basically, riding my eScooter to the bus station, on the suburban pavement and unable to ride between the said vehicles without destroying a wing  mirror on one of the cars or hurting myself or both. 

 

Someone with a pram or someone in a wheelchair or mobility scooter would not be able to pass by/through here. 

 

 

 

Also - people that put their bins in the middle of the pavement. grrrr....

@Handsomedan I would like to see those folk spend a month in a wheelchair. There has been occasions when I have needed to on the road in order to get around which puts me in needless harms way. Of course the world revolves around their needs only.

I've said this before, but if the police were really revenue gathering then all they'd need to do is walk up my street and give a ticket to everyone parked on the footpath.

Ticketing them does not unblock the footpath the offending vehicles should be towed away. Re-offending owners should have their vehicles impounded.

Cars parked in parents' parking space where one of the parents remains in the car while the other (very able and without a kid) walks into the supermarket.

This happens in mobility parks sometimes. If I am going to stay in the vehicle then we park in a normal carpark. 

 

Edit; I should add though don't be too hasty to judge, with the mobility parks not all disabilities are visible or immediately obvious. As for the parents park they maybe going into the store to pick up a child.
