Seriously; fuck the people that just abandon their vehicles in emergency lanes with the hazard lights on.
"I'll only be a minute" Fuck you, you'll be more than a minute, your shit is in the way, and that 'minute' could and has literally been the difference between life and death in an actual emergency.
I hope your shit gets towed and you face a huge fine. Or a fire fighter smashes it up to get to a fire hydrant.
Also bike lanes. They should be instant towed.
I really wish people that do this didn't pull into the bike lane. Like, the cars aren't getting by because they pulled into the bike lane. They are literally just deciding to block the cars AND the bikes. Like, I understand the instinct to "pull over". But there isn't really anything you're doing to be less annoying by giving the cars 2-3 more ft of clearance.
Edit: I'm thinking about the typical two lane (each direction) road. They are still blocking a lane fully. People have to get over and zipper at the blocked lane.
When they block the bike lane, I get right in the middle of the car lane. It's safer and I'll just be a minute of course.
