As if your job isn’t tough enough! Good on you for setting that boundary.

If you can’t ask family for a private space for an hour long therapy session, chances are you won’t feel safe/private in the bathroom either. Maybe you don’t want them to know you’re in therapy. Much less sus it you’re just out of the house for an hour.

Tbf part of the appeal of living in an apartment for me is that I don’t have to talk to neighbours. I hate being perceived.

This follow along while helping family is 100% why I keep a windows partition.

I mean, honest mistake on your part, but still your mistake. Dude shouldn’t have raged at you for an honest mistake, but you should rage at them even less, as they didn’t even do anything wrong (except raging).

You’d be a somewhat justified if it happened in a pedestrian only zone or sidewalk, as it frequently does in my city but you were the one in the wrong area.

I’ve had 2 or more messenging apps for about a decade now because of this.

Oh yeah when I’m biking it doesn’t matter at all. I’ve just been run into a few times walking on them. It also sick that like every 5th person rides by so close you have to stop in your tracks so they don’t crash into yiu. But to be fair, it happens on sidewalks too.

shared with pedestrians

Ugh this isn’t entirely related, but as someone who walks a lot, I hate these. If you’re already building infrastructure, why not separate it.

Honestly, this is the argument to make. Almost every human is selfish when it comes to a strangers convenience or theirs. Make the argument that it’ll be more convenient to drive with bikes out of the way, and that sidewalks will be safer (almost everyone walks every once in a while). I’ve convinced people this way, but never with explaining the safety, let alone city livability or environmental reasons.

To be fair, it’s best to not participate in the lottery.

In my country they tow tram track blockers immediately. I think it’s some sort of ‘emergency’ towing too (arrives faster and is more expensive). If it takes too long, they temporarily replace the tram line with a bus. I imagine it’s the same in many places.
