Just because your employer doesn't give you enough time to properly and safely complete your job (while still following traffic laws) doesn't make traffic laws stop being law.
It's not a park anywhere button. It just means you're willing to break the rules, and be a jerk on behalf of your ultra-jerk boss.
Yes, blocking the street "but only for a minute" makes you a jerk, even if you're just trying to do your job.
It's the Trickle Down Jerk Economy I guess...
Parking on tge side of the road doesn't break any rules. It is only a little inconvenient for you, because you have to swerve around and maybe even wait for traffic. You don't get to call me a jerk because your autistuc ass can't handle the dynamic circumstances of the road.
I'm sure you never cut corners to make your job easier and quicker? If I can choose to walk 100 meters with a 20kg pckage or walk 10 meters with a 20 kg package. I choose the short trip. Sure I can use equipment to help me lift heavy loads, but it takes time to get that equipment set up. Mulitply that times 50 or so and every day come home when the kids are already in bed and you only really get to see them in the weekends.
Well, it's a good thing I'm not talking about doing legal things. I'm talking about doing illegal things, like blocking the road. If someone pulls off the street, and parks legally, not blocking traffic, that's fine!
Readers may notice how I didn't say I had a problem with people parking legally.
Readers may have also noticed that when my comment talked about breaking the law, instead of facing that, the reply moves the goalpost.
No, I do not take illegal and dangerous shortcuts at my job. I value the quality of my work, and the safety of my peers.
If someone doing their job properly and safely, with the correct equipment comes home late every day, that's the Ultra-Jerk boss's fault, like I said. Everyone should be able to safely and legally do their job in the allotted time, without having their employment threatened.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
(Edit) Also, how are you gonna say that to someone who shares a different point of view in an open discussion on the internet, and then go on to say "Normal people don’t get their panties in twist when someone shares a different point of view in an open discussion on the internet."?
