I'd probably not even notice. But I live in Italy and I've seen some shit.

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.
I don't like your honesty
I will think to myself "fucking swastikar" and move on.
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
I hope it is just a delivery guy who thinks "This'll take a sec."
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.
Ceramic spark plug pieces work very well at shattering tempered glass and are a lot more mobile and concealable than bricks.
I sometimes get touchy touchy with the mirrors so they have to lose time readjusting them.
You mean replacing them, right?
Right? [Amigdala with supercharged chas]
Take a photo, send it to the police.
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.
Move to a civilized country then.
I'm working on a Canadian passport as we speak. Fingies crossed

Mix glitter and superglue in a water balloon
Or put bleach in a water balloon. Will fuck the paint up if they don't remove it quickly and they might not notice their car got bleached bombed until it's too late.
I like the way you think
Go back to my home and start a government petition to legalise pedestrians carrying rocket-propelled grenade launchers to better handle situations like this
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.

Am climbing over that
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.
keys
I dont think the police would care that much if I called them about an improperly parked car. I'd call them anyways and use my best Sheldon Cooper impression and make a huge deal out of it.
Seems like a valid reason to go full Karen mode.
Get my flipper and open the charging port!
am just gonna say in my head "eww someone's driving fascist owned cars" or smth
Maybe covering everything with cars and car infrastructure was a bad idea.
Remove the valve stem cores, reinstall valve caps. Have fun with ur random flats for the next week.
The problem with that is that the first tire tech who responds to the flats, will spot the missing valve stems, and replace rhem. It also takes a lot of time to do it.
The better move is to just unscrew the caps, and drop a BB in the cap and screw it back on. The BB will press slightly on the valve stem, and cause a slow leak. The tire tech will search and search for the source, but he's unlikely to look in the cap, and he probably won't notice the BB in the cap anyway, so it will become an ongoing problem.
Lol I work in a shop, and while I'm not saying your wrong I would like to share a story. Had a customer get towed in, they were driving and got a flat. AAA came and swapped their spare on for them, shortly after they got another flat. Being out of spares they had it towed to the shop. 2 flats in one day same corner 2x in a row u got any guesses? Well when I get to it I notice the spare has a chunk knocked out of the inside of the wheel. I go to take the flat off and surprise! Fucking chunk out of the other wheel. 2 wheels with holes right through them! Caliper lost the lower bolt, so under braking it would pivot up on the upper bolt and wedge into the aluminum wheel so hard it blew a hole in it and locked up that corner. AAA came and swapped that wheel without going "hey ur fucking brakes are falling off" so I sort of doubt they will notice a missing valve stem lol. AAA also totaled my Audi last time they towed it with a single wheel strap and it let loose on the roll back, so I have VERY little faith in the roadside guys seeing anything lol.
The subcontractors of their network are hit or miss, here in Miami there are always stories about them asking for tips and such after completing jobs.

I exhale sharply through my nose, go around and forget about it 15 seconds later.
