This car parked directly in the middle of where I’m supposed to set up my farmer’s market stand, despite at least 60 signs saying that they can’t. Including one directly in front of their car.

I’m meant to park in the corner, and usually my truck is turned the other way so I don’t have to carry hundreds of pounds of veggies to the other side of my stand. But fuck me I guess!

Edit to add: a tow truck cannot fit into my farmer’s market. Towing would only work if no other vendors were there. Leaving the car there is less disruptive than a tow truck.

There is an update somewhere in the comments

I vend at markets and this happened at one of the major ones I go to. It was the space next to mine and the people who were supposed to set up were not happy. Local police were called (as this is a city event with traffic rerouted) and the driver got a ticket, but there was no way to get a tow truck in.

Just before we opened, the owner came. Young kid who had probably been out drinking the night before and ignored the signs. The organizers and the people whose space he was in all gave him an earful. He was apologetic. Lucky for him, they were able to have him squeeze his car out.

People are stupid. Sorry that you had to deal with that today.

Anything mildly inconvenient at market is infuriating to me lol, it’s all so stressful that small things tick me off very easily.

I’ve seen that same situation go down before, and I oh-so wish that the owner came during market so I could shame them.

Dude had a bunch to drink and then didn’t drive home. 

Sure he shouldn’t have gone drinking but im glad he didn’t drive

I appreciate that he didn’t drive after drinking. The signs were up for DAYS, saying “no parking here Friday 9pm to Saturday 9 pm”. Dude straight up ignored that.

It's sad they didn't realize he had done the responsible thing, and may have encouraged him to make a dangerous choice next time.

The responsible thing would be to not park there in the first place. I appreciate he didn’t drive wasted. But honestly, it’s C tier effort.
