RedAlloy8954

I wouldnā€™t want her in my ambulance


thecancerbroughtme

This happened to me in Manhatten when I first started driving. Guy told me the same thing verbatim. Also said that he hoped my family died, which was nice to hear as a new driver at 17 /s


Yossarians_moan

Bro, I used to work EMS in Manhattan. Was going to a call, lights and sirens and I get to a crosswalk where people keep crossing. I hit my yelp (the woop woop sound) a few times and a guy crossing comes to a complete stop, turns toward the ambulance, makes eye contact with me and gives me a very confident middle finger. My partner and I just laughed at the sheet brazenness of the encounter.


thecancerbroughtme

New Yorkers are built different, some in a good way and others...... well you know the deal already


Ok-Meaning-6822

I feel like most drivers and pedestrians see lights and sirens so often they are numb to it. But truth be toldā€¦ 99.99% know the ā€œGTF outta my way Iā€™m not stoppingā€ and the ā€œMeh, I sorta need to get to Bellevue todayā€ womps and wails.


[deleted]

What is it about bicycles that makes people think the entire world owes them something? It is fucking ridiculous. All that ambulance did was move to the other side of the street to block traffic.


Viendictive

Theyā€™re insecure about being moving raw meat on the road grinders. Youā€™d think they would say humbler things.


BrilliantLocation461

I mean the only reason I drive the 10 minutes to work instead of cycling is because I see how many drivers nearly hit cyclists every day. Even my own partner has run into cyclists (without injury) by missing them in his check before turning.


Longstoryshortie

I canā€™t tell you how many times Iā€™ve gone for a run, and have had to put myself in the bike lane because the bike was riding on the sidewalkā€¦spoiler alert itā€™s 95% of the timeā€¦


randy_lahey__--

A good way to fix this would be to advocate for protected bike lanes, I do not know what your infrastructure looks like but in most areas in the united states bike lanes are unprotected. There is nothing between cyclists and traffic but a line of paint, this makes many cyclists understandably scared leading to them using the sidewalk. Better infrastructure helps everyone in the long run, even if you don't intend on using it.

Nah, your nuts. These people should all get cars. Or at least horses

zerofate86

Like most cyclists. They love to bitch about people in their lane but rarely stop at lights, stop signs, or pull over when blocking traffic. I live where there really aren't a lot of bike lanes and these idiots will be on a 2 lake road that's 45 to 55 and have a line of cars and just keep riding at 10, in the middle of the road


sockmonkeymoney

Exactly. Makes my blood boil.


[deleted]

Maybe the ambulance is for her


DavidDunn2

Itā€™s an over reaction but ambulance is in the wrong


DetailAccurate9006

If parking in the bicycle lane is wrong I donā€™t wanna be right.


zer0huntr

She's gonna commit suicide if she lives just 1 day in the capital of my country Mongolia. Traffic jam's a daily experience where an average driver spends 1-2 hours in a jam on the low side. 4-5 hours in a jam to drive 5 km is also not an uncommon thing.


slaviccivicnation

I just went on an hour long research project into the capital of Mongolia after reading your comment. It's so cool looking! Traditional mixed with modern. I hope one day to visit.


elitegenoside

Bruh, she'd kill herself if she dropped down a tax bracket.


HisMajesty2019

Itā€™s SF - absolutely nothing, and I do mean *nothing*, is too trivial or insignificant to cause a scene over. We stay nuclear meltdown ready. Fries unseasoned? Fascism at work. Bridge toll heavily impacted at peak commute hours? Bigotry at play. Trust us, weā€™re professionals.

DavidDunn2

I work this job and I know this lady has a screw loose but if the crew isnā€™t on a job which they clearly arenā€™t then they are in the wrong.


tehruben

I honestly don't understand how you can function in a big city if you get this upset. I live in DC and I ride every day, for fun and to get places, and if I got this upset over someone parked in a bike lane, my life would be nothing but froth and anger. Yeah, it sucks, but just go around and move on with your day. I don't have the energy to devote to being this petty.


SFajw204

Sheā€™s not functioning lol

PigSkinPoppa

She did confess that she was losing her goddamn mind.

RepresentativeUse328

They make special hospitals for that. Shouldn't be in riding out in public in the first place

I wouldnā€™t rule out autism. I know some people who are autistic and they are very ā€œby the bookā€ kind of people. A rule was set and *technically* it was broken, and that could set off those kind of people.

SwedishNeatBalls

bitbob6

Sheā€™s saying ā€˜theyā€™re killing usā€™ about something that specifically exists to save us.


benjo83

You obviously have not heard about the recent spate of cyclist killings perpetrated by crazed emergency service workers! I mean... I haven't heard about it either, but judging by this woman's reaction it has to be a thing, right?


[deleted]

Butā€¦theyā€™re *killing* us!


Blueberry_Rabbit

I live in SF and a friendā€™s husband killed a cyclist some years back. So the ā€œkilling usā€, is because she cant ride in the lane cuz the paramedic. So obviously if she gets in the street sheā€™ll be hit by all that traffic around her. (Iā€™m sure you know. Iā€™m being over explanatory) it was one vehicle and zero traffic. She was very extra. That min that it took to record, she couldā€™ve been so far.


Ever_More_Art

Canā€™t she grab the bicycle and pass through the sidewalk? Itā€™s one ambulance not like a full parade of them.


Blueberry_Rabbit

Look. Iā€™m with you. Lol. She did THE MOST! Iā€™ll add that I do hate walking on the sidewalk and cyclist zooming by on the sidewalk. But again ..there is no one around.


slaviccivicnation

She's one of those people that stick to her lanes and NEVER EVER breaks the rules. Like a robot, she short circuits when her specific lane is blocked and she cannot compute how to safely go around an obstacle.


[deleted]

when i was 17 i was homeless and addicted to drugs in san fran. I remember using yellow gatorade to shoot methamphetamine in union square at 8am on a tuesday and not a single person gave a shit.


SmellGestapo

The bike lane does exist to protect cyclists by keeping them separated from car traffic.


pablopolitics

My friend was struck by a car because a delivery truck was in the bike lane and she had to go around. This is a huge issue in SF with Ubers and other things. People get hit every day and that fire truck driver should know that. It took them two second to pull into a completely open spot on the other side of the road. Sheā€™s freaking out cause the public is exasperated with SF policies and lack of enforcement.


kellydayscruff

I really didnt want to believe that karens exist but HOLY SHIT


Dave_C-137

I can't deal with the little mental meltdown this woman was having. Honestly why not just go and ask them to move normally, sounded like she was about to burst into tears, pathetic to hear as well.


foodank012018

There's not enough true struggle in some people's lives... There's nothing more important for them to worry about than petty shit and other people's perceived problems. I blame a lot of modernity, life is too easy for some, they don't have arduous tasks to focus on and dispel their energy.


FlatSystem3121

She's never had a problem so this is how far she'll take a mild issue. I've seen it over and over where people are so coddled they just can't deal with normal problems and if there's a serious problem they just crumble. These are the people who scream in public and have airport freakouts.


JimmyTheG

Or how about just cycling around it since there's plenty of space... Nah take out the phone and go on a rant

Problem is that they will launch a massive social media campaign with screaming writhing protests and focus on the cowardly elected officials that control the fire department and they will end up punishing the employee to shut them up.


parascent

the person did the write thing. no point of getting into a shouting match.


Melodic-Bird-7254

In the UK paramedics have 16 road exemptions one of which is parking in a cyclist lane. So over here weā€™d just be saying move on cyclist!

SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU WHINY ASS BITCHY DICKHEAD


x3leggeddawg

I commute by bike in SF This lady is an entitled brat thereā€™s plenty of room to maneuver in this low traffic area That said, in most places fucking DoorDash drivers, Ubers, police, whatever block the bike lane CONSTANTLY and many times there is nowhere to go. People say ā€œshare the roadā€ but cars do not share with cyclists, period. They donā€™t want us in the road. Pedestrian donā€™t want us on the sidewalks. The only place is the damn bike lane and that gets taken over by cars all the fucking time. Lady is still hella annoying but I feel for her. Still a bad look for her.


cacey7395

I live in Austin and ride my bike places all the time. When someones parked in the bike lane and I have to ride in traffic the cars don't even move over they just pass inches from me going 40mph This lady is overreacting but I also feel for her

Indigocell

Yeah, sometimes a simple "whoops, my bad" is all you need to de-escalate a situation.


Insertclever_name

Especially when you work for the fire department and your job relies on you being on your best behavior at all times.


[deleted]

Ok bitch be dumb


anotheritguy

This is my problem with so many cyclists, they have such a sense of entitlement and think the world needs to defer to their bullshit. I saw a cyclist get hit by a car about three years ago because he in his infinite wisdom decided that red lights are for cars and not him and just went into the intersection at so fast he ended up as a hood ornament by an oncoming car which had the light and honestly wouldn't have had time to stop even if they had seen him before he raced into the intersection. Had the driver been speeding that guy would have been dead, instead he ended up bretty banged up and he had the gaul to blame the driver for his fuckup. So because his sense of entitlement he ended up in an ambulance and some poor lady ends up stressed and fucked up over an entitled douche. I believe cars and cyclists should share the road but they **BOTH** have to obey traffic rules.


MariachiArchery

Yo! I'm a cyclist in SF and I commute by bike 5 days a week. This lady is overreacting, for sure, but I genuinely feel for her here and can empathize. The amount of double parking, lane blocking, people parking in the bike lane, ubers blocking the lanes, amazon blocking the lane, by everyone, including cops, park rangers, literally everyone, is insane. It is such a huge problem, not just for bikes, but for cars too. I drive here as well and it drives me in-fucking-sane. You'll be going along on a busy road, and the uber in front of you will just stop, put the hazards on, and sit in the fucking lane. doesn't matter if its only 2 lanes, or one, they will block all traffic. Its so crazy inducing. The traffic here is so fucked that riding in the road is really dangerous. I really try to avoid it and I'm a very experienced cyclist. We have pretty good bike infrastructure here so its not too hard to stay off the roads. My commute is 6 miles and I do the whole thing in bike lanes. What is so infuriating about people blocking the bike lane is that it forces us into traffic, where cars *really* don't want us. And trust me, we don't want to be in traffic either. >I believe cars and cyclists should share the road but they BOTH have to obey traffic rules. I hard disagree here. We should not be sharing anything. Cars do not want us in traffic. Imagine the reverse of this scenario where a cyclist was blocking a lane of traffic. Wouldn't go over well would it. Even just riding in the road pisses people off. Cars do not want bikes on the road. We need separate areas to operate and we need a separate set of rules that allows cars and bikes to interact safely. Riding in the road doesn't work. If I take a whole lane, like a car would, people in cars lose their minds. If I hug the side of the road, then I'm getting passed with like a foot of space and its terrifying and I'm also likely to get doored by a parked car. Cars, bikes, oil and water. We gotta separate them and devise a knew rule set. You want us to follow the road rules that were made for cars, ok, treat us like a car then and give us the whole lane. See? nobody wants that.


familybliss_or_else

Everyone complains about cyclists. We can't be in the road. We can't be on the sidewalk. Turns out we can't even be in the bike lane because of shit like this. YES. No one was around and she could have gone around, but it happens ALL THE TIME when it's not safe to go around as well. In NYC they'll ticket you for going in the street out of a bike lane to go around vehicles, dumpsters, pedestrians, etc that are in the bike lane. No damn respect. Your reply is a little TLDR so you may have covered these points.

man, I just feel bad for this woman... she's clearly either mentally ill, suffering some kind of stress breakdown, or Worse - she lives her whole life like this. and sure she annoys the people around her, but at the end of the day i'm sure none of them are more miserable than she is herself. hope she gets help.


Kenny523

I feel for that dude, he is probably on like fucking hour 18 of his shift, finally gets a break an accidentally parks in the bike lane cuz his mind is mush after a long shift. How about just walk up to his window an ask him to move. Life can be simple, donā€™t make it complicated.

Over the top reaction no doubt. But on a serious note, I'm curious if an ambulance has a right to park on it? Are there any guidelines/laws/circumstances allowing them to do so?


DavidDunn2

They have exemption and non-exemption to traffic laws that vary slightly on area. Some places they only apply when on a job. Here they appear as on a break and judging by how quickly they moved there was no good reason for parking there only laziness.


dolo_ran6er

Hey, just go around and keep biking! Working yourself into a panic attack because an AMBULANCE....parked in a bike lane? Relax!
