Walk directly across the hood.
Unironically this. You either walk right over it or take a seat on the hood.
So close... ~~seat~~ shit.
FYFY
It's a tough one honestly, because you never know if its someone that's generally a considerate person but had to park for an emergency.. Or if it's just a general asshole on a standard day.
Judging by the car make and model though (all black Tesla), I'd lean towards the latter.
If hazards are on, I'd give the benefit of doubt, otherwise, probably not.
I exhale sharply through my nose, go around and forget about it 15 seconds later.
Mild annoyance and then continue with my day. If I'm really annoyed report it to whoever issues the parking fines in the area.
My city has a sick app for reporting these sorts of things! Just snap a photo and it tags the location and uses OCR to get the license plate number.
I think that person is an asshole for stopping on the crosswalk, but I have no authority to do anything about it and move on.
It’s PARKED. Not stopped. Don’t be a simp.
Nothing, officer. I didn't see who keyed the car.
would be annoying for the tesla owner if whoever bumped into the car had no identifying features or clothes, so the car cameras can't be used to identify the person
Teslas have proximity cameras just so you know better to throw something at it from a distance or better from above
Walk over it. Even if it's filmed, they are in a crosswalk what would come of that? Get some friends to do the same. If they don't want their car walked on, don't park on the crosswalk.
Call the cops and wait there to watch it get towed.
I don't think I've ever seen a cop do anything that could be called useful. I mean I'm sure they must occasionally, but I cannot attest to it.
I will think to myself "fucking swastikar" and move on.
I'd probably not even notice. But I live in Italy and I've seen some shit.
I called parking enforcement on this one. Right in front of the job site drive. We don't come here everyday, but when we do, it'd be nice to be able to pull in. They called me when they got to the car and asked if I wanted it toed. I said that they do it all the time but just give a warning, because it's the first time I've called. Next time, it's gone.

Nicer than I would have been. I would have told them hell yeah, please tow it. I don't think people should get a "freebie" for something this egregious.
Wait is this Portugal? If I was walking the zebra crossing I would have just walked over the car. Also if you call the police they will tow the car, fine the owner, and even if they come to move it before the tow truck arrives, they still have pay for it in addition
Ah, Balkans, huh?
Edit: Looks like Portugal plates. They're honorary Balkans.
I'd definitely be calling a couple of my wheelchair bound brothers. I'm sure they'd be up for seeing how fast they could crash into it... Maybe not all of them but Dave would, Dave would absolutely ram right into it multiple times (he really doesn't like not having access to a crosswalk).
Change into my "blind guy" costume and beat the car with my stick until someone stops me.
Maybe covering everything with cars and car infrastructure was a bad idea.
It's a rich wanker as always. I live in a pretty affluent area and the wealthy think they can break the traffic laws all the time.
Go back to my home and start a government petition to legalise pedestrians carrying rocket-propelled grenade launchers to better handle situations like this
I would think wow that's terrible parking, and would wonder if they'll get a ticket from somebody who makes a living putting tickets on improperly parked cars.
Take a photo, send it to the police.
I'm British so I'm going to tut loudly and mutter something under my breath
I got similar situation in a cul-de-sac around my area. There is a sidewalk going through and people like to park their car right in the middle of it.
I just do small stuff like bending out rear wiper or bending front passenger's external mirror. People do be getting the memo.
One thing that has always sent me into an absolute rational rage is cunts in cars blocking sidewalks and pedestrian passageways.
and now that I have family in wheelchairs and on walkers, that rational rage has become about 30x more intense, to the point that I have to physically stop myself from bricking their windshields.
I sometimes get touchy touchy with the mirrors so they have to lose time readjusting them.
“Hope they get a ticket”
"Oh thank god! I'm back in Spain. Maybe living in the US was just a horrible nightmare!"
Am climbing over that
I hope it is just a delivery guy who thinks "This'll take a sec."
