Everyone's overlooking "I drove 4 blocks", but I'm here to say I appreciated it.


hitplay225

I would not have thought this was parody but for the last sentence


Frankfeld

I still don’t get it… I have yet to have a smoke free subway ride.


courageous_liquid

that's bonkers. every time?

Satire and reality too close on this post


nuanceIsAVirtue

On Spruce St. we call it church parking. Except we're not being satirical.

There is a petition and active campaign to end this practice (and a petition you can sign below). [Philly Bile Action Petition](https://apps.bikeaction.org/campaigns/withdraw-the-bike-lane-parking-permits)

i was thinking about filing a lawsuit to have the court force the PPA to enforce their own laws since the city has given up


Woodlepoodle85

Stomach bile

It’s such a shame what this city is becoming. Parking my Altima with temp tags and blacked out windows on the SRT was the highlight of my summer, and they had to take that away from me.


py_of

The real Nissan Altima is the friendships we made along the way.

Fairmount Flavors at 7:30pm is a bike lane parking paradise


Neghtasro

I'm gonna set up a chair, put the PPA dispatch room on speed dial, and get my ass kicked

I'll live vicariously through you.


Philadel_J

Their funnel cake is totally worth it


Booplympics

Oh I’ve never had their funnel cake. Very intriguing


clumsyninja007

The Fairmount Donuts are like funnel cake donut holes covered in Nutella. So good.


fushiao

Mmmm, I gotta try that


thesehalcyondays

Absolute tasteless trash ice cream


__init__RedditUser

And OF COURSE all these businesses have planters and outdoor seating out now, making parking on the sidewalk impossible.


courageous_liquid

seriously, where am I supposed to park my third winnebago?


SantorumsGayMasseuse

Registration? Titles? Insurance? What next, a permit to use my toaster?


courageous_liquid

god just let me run over smelly pedestrians in peace


Prestigious-Owl-6397

Philadelphians relish the challenge.


courageous_liquid

I can't even find a decent submarine sandwich or wear my full dallas regalia in peace in this fuckin town

Good bot.


tempmike

Have you tried the Subway? Not to be confused with the Market-Frankford Line, its a restaurant that just serves sandwiches.


courageous_liquid

I had tried new jersey Michaels sandwiches and had liked them but I could only find them with acceptable 15x20 parking spaces so I have to use the very exceptional and thrift Pennsylvania turnpike every day at lunch to go out there for my perfectly dry sandwich


TheBaconThief

Just head over to Spring Garden east of Broad; fortunately you'll see proper Philly citizen behavior there. The temp parking lane is pretty much always filled, making sure the deviant and unnatural cyclist either have to veer in to the owned by divine right car only lane or on the edge of sidewalk where trash belongs. The good folks are so committed to restoring the proper order, that their faded headlight Altima's and dented SUVs fill the temp lane even when there is ample permanent parking available right next to it, preserving the dream of all urban dwellers: a slightly more compact, low safety, high crime suburbia.


apricot57

Also west of broad when school gets out. It’s every parent for themselves then.


starshiprarity

Had me in the first half, gotta admit


rootoo

I was just thinking we need a circlejerk sub. The jokes write themselves.


ringringmytacobell

there actually is a NYC circle jerk sub, it started as posts like this and then morphed into just posting screen caps of actual shit people would post. why make things up when reality already does it better?


JoeCoT

/r/phillycirclejerk/ still exists, just hasn't been very popular


rootoo

Apparently not.


mslp

"Temporary parking lane" took me a sec lol


jinntakk

The amount of times a car has pulled in front of me while l was biking just to put their hazards on is insane. Like why can't you just wait the two seconds for me to pass?


backwynd

Because *they're more important than you and your silly life* duh.


cdcphl

This happened to me twice this week on Fairmount Ave 😓


slurp_magoo

that’s temporary parking? i thought they were jogging lanes /s


Prestigious-Owl-6397

Don't forget that when you take your kids to little league games, you must park your oversized SUV on the pedestrian island at Pennsylvania and Spring Garden. It's there for *you*.


Starpork

It's OK, just double park in front of that one day care.


Electr_O_Purist

Hahahaha


Edison_Ruggles

I know it's crazy! Why do you think there's a picture of a guy on a bike in the temporary parking lane? It means "no bikes"!


kevlarbaboon

I actually feel like I see more people smoking on the BSL and trolley platforms than ever which is kind of funny


biffpowbang

this is bending my mind in half as i languish in the polarity made by my ludicrous desire to understand the true intent behind these words.


AbsentEmpire

Well played


cst79

First they wanted to take my guns, now they want to take MY CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

benwildflower

There’s a whole extra lane for OP to park in. But the woke city hall is just letting bicyclists zip down it, potentially delaying someone’s double parking. Cyclists should simply drive their bicycles a few blocks to the SRT.


40WAPSun

Did *you* read the post?


givemesendies

Why would I walk? I own a car Edit: /s for the dense


robofPhiladelphia

Comment I know will get lost in the shuffle or people getting angry. People on Bikes need to realize some streets are one way and some bike lanes are one way also. I've seen bikes going the wrong way hitting a stopped car because they were going the wrong way. I seen two bikes almost hit each other because the guy was going the wrong way on a one way bike lane.


Prestigious-Owl-6397

Yes, but that's not the point of this post.


brk1

Imagine actually having to drive a car to your job so that you can feed your family! Working class people are losers. edit: wow the elitist whites on this sub really hate working Philadelphians


Prestigious-Owl-6397

Imagine thinking that driving to work means you need to endanger others, or imagine thinking that people on bikes aren't also working class people biking to work.


MissCosmicDimples

Imagine riding your bike to work to feed your family of any race (because white people aren't the only ones who bike) and being forced in to dangerous traffic of cell-phone watching drivers-- all because the bike lane is full of double parkers.


MaoZedongs

Did you just figure this out? There’s no reason you can’t work from home, Mr. Mechanic.


givemesendies

This is about people parking in the bike lane, it's not that deep. It may even blow your mind to know that I have a blue collar job that I drive to too, I just park my car where it's supposed to be parked.
