Fuck these people. Sidewalks are for fucking walking, not for extra space for your stupid fucking restaurant.

Extra free floor space. Or do those cafes and restaurants pay some sort of permit fee?

Because I hate pedestrian bottlenecks caused by cafe tables on the footpath. Even worse when groups of tourists stop walking right there to stare at the menu and discuss whether to have lunch there or somewhere else. Move aside, please. Not all of us are on holidays.
