Had to squeeze through a blockade of Buicks just to get into Kroger this afternoon

The loading zone is for loading and unloading only, there is no parking in the loading zone.

True enough; selfishness, entitledness, and laziness are not strictly a generational things, but I've seen this for over 25 years (worked retail from high school and through college), and it always seems like it's the Boomers who get it going, and other people go "me too" and line up behind them.

It's better than that lol. The last time I heard that announcement at the airport (been several years), it was "The loading zone is for immediate loading and unloading only". These people park in the fire lane for 15-20 minutes while their passenger "just goes in for a few things".

Me as an uber driver waiting for my passenger:

[intensely_human@lemm.ee]

If I’m in the driver’s seat, I’m ready to move if a fire truck shows up

[ptz@dubvee.org]

Right, that's...what they all say. But if you're blocking the ramps and I have to heave-ho my cart over the curb and/or walk around a parade of other parked cars, it gets annoying.

Don't tell me which zone is for stopping and which is for loading

[marcos@lemmy.world]

The line of "ready to move" drivers behind you will make sure any fire truck stays way back and is unable to show up to the first car closing the street.

[intensely_human@lemm.ee]

I’ve never seen that line

[intensely_human@lemm.ee]

I’m not blocking the ramps I’m not an idiot

where I live it's entitled moms who just need to pop in to starbucks or whatnot - why should those entitled folk have to <gasp> park their vehicles? mind your own business etc.

I just... fuck man. wish the cops would just roll up and tow them on the spot.
