Road Hog

Returning home from my walk the other afternoon I noticed the below grey car stopped in the middle of the street.  No hazard lights on, no blinkahs on and nothing in front of it blocking it's way. It was just stopped and idling.

I stood at the end of my driveway for several minutes just watching this, staring in confusion. At first I thought maybe they need assistance but the more I watched the more it seemed the person was looking down at their phone.

Okay, so perhaps the person is lost or needed to respond to an urgent text, but why would you just stop in the middle of the street like that?! It's dangerous! It's selfish! It's inconsiderate! It's wrong!  

Have the decency, curtesy and respect to do the right thing! If there was an immediate reason and need to stop there, at least pull as close to the curb as you can and put on your hazard lights so everyone is forewarned.  Better yet, drive another 100 yards up the street and you can pull into the side street and out of harms way.

As you can see below, this stunt was causing confusion for other cars coming up behind it - 

And this is another reason why we can't have nice things!

These days most people are selfish and only think about themselves, which is exactly what I was witnessing with the above actions, hence all this entitlement you see all the time now.

I'm awarding this person the following - 

Shame on this POS. Do better!
