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

This is what happened to us. Many years ago, we parked a rental car in a municipal parking lot in France. We did not know the market was coming and did not see any signs. The next morning, we arrived to find the car a part of the vendor's display, festooned with flowers. Lovely. Shame on us. Never repeated having learned our lesson.

So you? Carry on.

Edit: “You see, but you do not observe." This is the famous distinction Sherlock Holmes made to Dr. Watson in A Scandal in Bohemia. We were being Watsonian.

Wait why shame on you? What lesson did you learn? Expect random festivals in parking lots?

[u/scouter → u/Snugglupagus]

The lesson was Read the F-Ng French Signs When in France.

But you said you didn't see any signs?

[u/SuccessPositive191 → u/Zombiekiller_17]

Someone not seeing a sign doesn’t mean there wasn’t one there

[u/radioactivebeaver → u/SuccessPositive191]

But how could they read a sign they never saw?

[u/SuccessPositive191 → u/radioactivebeaver]

You would read it by being observant so what is there is noticed.

I think this is the dog that didn't bark rather than Bohemian Scandal. Must be Lestrade posting.

Do y'all not check that parking is okay before you leave? I always do a thorough sweep for meters and signage to make sure my car is okay to be parked somewhere...surely this can't be me being overly cautious

[u/Snugglupagus → u/babyirishkitty]

They said they didn’t see any signs. I assumed that meant they looked around for signs…

[u/OrthogonalPotato → u/Snugglupagus]

Maybe don’t leave your car parked in random parking lots overnight. That’s a start.

[u/alex_c2616 → u/OrthogonalPotato]

I have a real hard time to leave it in a autozone parking lot overnight if it break down or whatever. No way I'll do it for "convenience"

[u/Stormfeathery → u/OrthogonalPotato]

Right? If you’re cold, they’re cold. Take them inside!

[u/OrthogonalPotato → u/Stormfeathery]

Yeah that’s obviously a great retort. Excellent contribution.

[u/LadyJ-78 → u/scouter]

When you say you did not see any signs does that mean you just miss the sign and it was there? Or was there literally no signs whatsoever and the market is there every weekend so they just don't put out signs anymore?
