Lmao, that's like saying "people get frustrated that I'm not following the rules and I don't like that". By acquiring and maintaining your driver's license, you agree to abide by the rules of the road. You are not allowed to park in the shoulder (except for emergencies like after an accident or temporary urgent situations like getting pulled over or a break down,). Shoulders are specifically designed to allow for adequate space for situations like that so that normal traffic may continue without being blocked, for emergency vehicles to maneuver around traffic flow. It's dangerous for both people driving on the road and someone parked in the shoulder, which is why in the case of the airport there is a dedicated temporary parking lot you can wait until you're able to loop around and pick up someone at arrivals. If one person parks in the shoulder is it the end of the world? Obviously not. But 1 turns into 2 turns into 20 and now there are even more dangerous situations with people pulling in/out without looking or not seeing a car. Part of being a productive member of society is understanding the overall impact of actions. Just because parking in the shoulder may be more convenient for you on an individual level, you must realize that you are part of the whole, just one person out of the thousands utilizing the airport services that day, and subsequently as a whole picking up is the safest and most efficient if you use the cell phone lot if you need to wait to pick up your passenger.

Bro, people are trying to tell you it’s not for you. Why ask if you’re gonna do it anyways? You have very little car experience and want to try to compete for a solid car with car dealers and mechanics who know what they’re doing. You’re gonna get burnt. Car auctions are not for you, try online or a cheap used car dealer. It’s be way less stressful and you’ll know what you’re getting.

Lived here my whole life, and only learned what that meant by this post. Give some room for ignorance. I do always mean to google it later, but as I’m the one driving, I can’t then and it slips my mind by the time I can.

ETA: thanks for the info for real tho

When people don’t mind their business, it most certainly does impact me. That was the point of me commenting but that went over your head. If I’m sitting on the side of the road, out of your way, why do you care about what I’m doing? Worry about picking your people up, how you are driving, what music you’re playing, whatever. Don’t question what I’m up to.

They are lazy and cheap. They could easily park in the garage for a few bucks get their party and get out.

Just another of of those things Philadelphians say we would like to change but we really don’t. Start ticketing people on the ramps and you’ll start getting the litany of complaints from overentitled jerkoffs about how police should focus on actual crime.

Can you point me on a map specifically where she is? I’m heading to the city and I will check on her tomorrow. I’m going to ask some people in the local Facebook groups in bucks if anybody knows how to help

I looked up the intersection and there’s a bunch of trees. I don’t want to be walking around aimlessly

Edit: I may have found someone to help haters. Keep downvoting while you do nothing to actually help the innocent cat
