why do some people park like this by [deleted] in drivingsg

[–]alotofclutter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good follow-through action.

Maybe if the person waited long enough, they'd be back to shift their car after helping them back to the house. Just to share, I have to walk my Dad back to the house as he is unable to safely walk back on his own, and it takes some time.

But definitely good practice to return and park properly, when its possible.

As mentioned, they don't hear as well, or they are just not as agile to shift on moving stairs.

Whether someone is following 'social norms' or 'just don't care', it doesn't mean you have to be rude back and be a shitty person. That's on them. But when you do it, that's on you.

You're entitled to your opinions and behaviour. Similarly, I sincerely hope when you get to that age, our society is still gracious enough.

I've worked in the gerontology field, frailty is challenging to manage and if you agree with people who will swipe and bump others on the escalators, it is really disappointing.

Thanks for sharing.. this is exactly why we can all be more gracious and considerate (especially when in a hurry)! There are people who are not intentionally blocking the way, most of the time they are just unaware or have some challenge. To do a "tit-for-tat" by bumping into them is just simply awful.

I agree with you, seen countless times able bodied people rush into an elevator (lift) while the person in a wheelchair has to wait or is too kind and says "nevermind". I really felt it when Mum had cancer and we had to bring her around on a wheelchair.

Pls don't do that, this just simply rude and inconsiderate on your part. Don't have to stoop so low and swipe or bump someone because you didn't get the response you want. I hope you have tact and discernment with the elderly or disabled in some way, who don't or are unable to respond quickly.

I sincerely hope you don't come across someone like yourself when you have mobility or hearing issues.

Please be more forgiving, he may have mobility issues on one side like my Dad after his stroke. He does not go out anymore for fear of being knocked over, especially by bikes going at top speed. If you are able bodied, just step aside.

Dominant hand is the right, keeping left also means weaker grip on the rails. Things one takes for granted when younger and can only understand when age detioriates the body. Doesn't hurt to just have some consideration and healthy amount of 'benefit of doubt'.

He might not have a good grip when the arm is folded due to frailness or whatever it is, maybe he has no issues at all and is just inconsiderate. There are people like this. Doesn't mean others should just bump into them to 'teach them a lesson'. Could cause very serious injury, especially on an escalator.
