You’re the type of “asshole” that follows the law.

But, most of the lower cultured people can’t understand the law anyhow. So, it’s sort of hard to blame them.

Kevin, way to go. That’s the attitude to have. Doing work that benefits everyone.

Zu, again, if you want a parking spot, buy one. Public parking is public no matter what your misconceptions are. If you’re an asshole in this aspect, chances are that you’re just an all-round asshole

Josh, I think it means you are just an asshole that doesn’t respect his neighbors.

Don’t you think everyone has to clear out their spots? or, if the spot isn’t cleared, it’s still parkable?

If people would just stop doing this nonsense, everyone would be a lot happier around each other.

I like how people say they want respect, but they clearly don’t respect others or the law.

If you use public parking, it’s fucking public. These are the antisocial scum that vandalize cars on the street. They have no thoughts except for “look out for number one”.

Rolton & merkin4, I’m looking at you. If you want to reserve a spot, pay $150 – 300 / month and do it properly.

I grew up in Boston and it was always like this. I never left a chair or trash bin because I always thought it was a fucking stupid thing to save a spot! fuck that shit, you can’t save a fucking spot all day while you’re at work because mother nature decided to dump snow on your sorry ass.

someone’s car was lit on fire last year for taking a spot in chicago, so i guess consider yourselves lucky you only got a note?

I’ve lived in Chicago my whole life, and still am amazed by the number of a**holes who think because they spent 15 minutes (or 4 hours, but if your spending 4hours digging out a 8ft by 6ft spot you’ve got other problems) digging out a spot, are now entitled to that spot on a public street for the next 3 months. I understand it blows, and I also get annoyed that a spot I dug out is gone. But it’s not F*cking “yours”. It’s a god damned public street, maybe your entitled for that evening, or even the next, but these dipsh*t’s that think they can just keep a broom on the street all winter are out of their mind’s. You know what’s even more annoying than “your” spot being taken, is driving down a public street and there not being a single spot available, because 20 people think they are entitled to a public street’s spot, 24hrs a day 7 days a week.
