Walk directly across the hood.

    I exhale sharply through my nose, go around and forget about it 15 seconds later.

    I called parking enforcement on this one. Right in front of the job site drive. We don't come here everyday, but when we do, it'd be nice to be able to pull in. They called me when they got to the car and asked if I wanted it toed. I said that they do it all the time but just give a warning, because it's the first time I've called. Next time, it's gone.

    But but... it's a Tesla!!!@!

    The least you could do is molotov it.

    Asshole is an asshole, regardless of a car brand... but lemmy absolutely hates anything and everything Tesla.

    Mild annoyance and then continue with my day. If I'm really annoyed report it to whoever issues the parking fines in the area.

    Walk over it. Even if it's filmed, they are in a crosswalk what would come of that? Get some friends to do the same. If they don't want their car walked on, don't park on the crosswalk.

    I like this one. If you are flexible/ athletically inclined, just climb all over it, drag your stuff across it, stomp over the roof or the hood real hard, maybe take a moment and stamp the water or mud off your boots, etc.

    Sorry, just thought the car was part of the crosswalk. You didn't actually intend to park there, did you? It's a crosswalk. People are going to walk there, of course. Why would you park there, it's illegal! This is on you.

    Change into my "blind guy" costume and beat the car with my stick until someone stops me.

    Ah, Balkans, huh?

    Edit: Looks like Portugal plates. They're honorary Balkans.

    Wait, that's a real country? I thought it was an elaborate set for the tv show Aqui No Hay Quien Viva. They made a whole other fucking language for it too.

    No idea but if I woke up and saw I was abruptly in this area, I'd assume it's Spain. Mainly because that's the country I've been to a few times in the last few years that looks like this.

    I'd definitely be calling a couple of my wheelchair bound brothers. I'm sure they'd be up for seeing how fast they could crash into it... Maybe not all of them but Dave would, Dave would absolutely ram right into it multiple times (he really doesn't like not having access to a crosswalk).

    Walk over its hood. It's technically not illegal in most parts.

    Call the cops and wait there to watch it get towed.

    I don't think I've ever seen a cop do anything that could be called useful. I mean I'm sure they must occasionally, but I cannot attest to it.

    It's a tough one honestly, because you never know if its someone that's generally a considerate person but had to park for an emergency.. Or if it's just a general asshole on a standard day.

    Judging by the car make and model though (all black Tesla), I'd lean towards the latter.

    Nothing, officer. I didn't see who keyed the car.

    Possibly committing felony vandalism for a parking violation. Does not seem reasonable.

    Neither does giving your money to buy a car that owns you and your data, supporting a sociopath psycho rapist.

    And, you can't fight something unreasonable with reason. You fight it with whatever uses the least energy, because douchebags are not worthwhile to fight fairly or morally.

    I won't be held to high moral standards while fighting another guy with no standards at all.

    Buy a roll of those stickers they put on products that is basically impossible to remove without ripping it and always leaves behind adhesive residue. See how much you can cover.

    Those stickers will cover those camera lenses quite well too. And a cheap ski mask costs like a buck.

    Presumably, you'd buy one when you buy the stickers.

    Also, bruh, it's 2026. There's flock cameras everywhere, ICE roaming the streets, fascists in control of the goverment... you should probably carry a ski mask when you go out and about.

    I would think wow that's terrible parking, and would wonder if they'll get a ticket from somebody who makes a living putting tickets on improperly parked cars.

    Walk across the crosswalk dozens of times wearing a big, metal belt buckle.

    Saying "oops" every time I accidentally run into the car.

    Pick up your two 20 lb sledgehammers by the end of their handles.

    Then just walk across the obviously open cross walk without looking while swinging the hammers as hard as you can. If you encounter any obstacles, back up 5 feet and try again.

    There used to be a website called You Park Like An Asshole that had pre-designed flyers you could attach to cars like this and other such infractions of, uh, good parking etiquette, if not also laws.

    Looks like the site is dead, and either way, the other comments suggest this is in a country where the primary language isn't English so their flyers wouldn't be as useful.

    ... but it doesn't mean that you can't design your own in the local language and shove it under their windscreen wiper. Bonus points for putting it in a sticky-backed plastic envelope. You know. The things that parking tickets usually get put in.

    I crawl over them and go on with my day. It has resulted in some angry people and police called on me once, but the officer fined the driver for crossing the stopline (it wasn’t a parked car, they were stopped for red) and told me to not do it again.

    Impotent Rage

    Edit: on second thought, Vienna where i live has an app where you can report stuff like this. Second alternative, call the cops to tow the illegally parked car which is a pretty expensive way to learn that you can't park there.

    Wait is this Portugal? If I was walking the zebra crossing I would have just walked over the car. Also if you call the police they will tow the car, fine the owner, and even if they come to move it before the tow truck arrives, they still have pay for it in addition

    I dont think the police would care that much if I called them about an improperly parked car. I'd call them anyways and use my best Sheldon Cooper impression and make a huge deal out of it.

    I ordered a pack of about a hundred business cards with "YOU OARKED LIKE AN IDIOT" on one side and a list of checkboxes with reasons on the other. Qould probably stick a couple of these at several points around the car
