Yeah it’s so more vans won’t be born and take up valuable parking real estate

What is going on there? DIY fix for a leaky windshield? The way the wind has been, I'm surprised the van hasn't gone sailing around the city like the Mary Celeste.
gimpwiz t1_j1h7ibv wrote
Either a temporary fix while the van is parked, or someone's idea to prevent ice on the windshield (pull off the plastic when you need to go.)

Yo where is this. I’ll come take them myself. Those car ramps are useful as is that chair.
Robobvious t1_j1h2rxo wrote
You’re a risk taker SmashRadish. I would be hesitant to trust my life to someone else’s old car ramps that they now use as space savers.
SmashRadish t1_j1h4dyl wrote
I was going to use them to anchor the tarp covering the disintegrating cedar shingles on my triple decker, but that thing blew away a while ago.

hes not a risk taker, just screwing over some unsuspecting person who parks there after
Robobvious t1_j1k6gwx wrote
No he isn’t, if they get their windows smashed in that is entirely on the person who smashed their windows because that’s an unreasonable reaction.
Yak_Rodeo t1_j1k7anh wrote
no shit, but if im looking for a spot to park id rather avoid the spot some random is going to smash my windows in

Better save your space with a space saver then! /s

Looks like Amherst St to me. I drove past at 5pm to pick up Chinese food and saw these out there and got real annoyed but was too hungry to post about it

No. Kick those fucking things out of the street. They haven’t shoveled anything, they don’t deserve the spot.
Unless they’re old people. They’re cool.

Lol. Expecting “snow” so they put their snow savers out. I would honestly pick them all up and move them

If if snowed and they were just sitting there they would just be annihilated by the plows

I used to hit the plastic chairs sending them flying with my work truck. Or run them over.

They cancelled school on Friday for 50 degrees and Sunshine mixed with showers. They were following the advice of local superintendent on emergency preparedness.

danbyer t1_j1hvfbj wrote
I’m proud to say that in all my years living, working, and driving in Boston, I never once used a space saver. When I moved to JP in 2001ish, somebody put out a chair for a space saver and it was quickly moved to the sidewalk with a note like “we don’t do this here.” I was thrilled. I had found my people! But within a couple years, any time there was even the threat of snow, space savers had become common practice.
nina_rae_ t1_j1jd5bo wrote
But what good would a space saver be before the snow? Won't it just get snowed on and then you'd still have to shovel the spot??
danbyer t1_j1jdw68 wrote
If you’re the kind of person that thinks shoveling a spot makes it yours, it’s not much of stretch to believe that placing a space saver before a storm is a declaration of your intention to shovel it later. If you’re going to screw over your neighbors and call dibs on a public parking spot, you might as well pick one in front of your house.

This was sometime around 5pm because I saw them as well and I’m almost certain I know who left these out. I think it’s “heavy laden trailer guy” if you’re in the neighborhood you know.

Nearly every picture of every street on this subreddit has me thinking "I lived in that neighborhood, didn't I?"

Zoom in on the piece on the floor that’s 2nd closest to the vehicle with headlights on…. Fake ass looking dude!! At least looks like a fake head.. no way those eye sockets and mouth are shadows
estrangelove t1_j1hv7lw wrote
I guess i see what your saying, it has an angry looking face right? I dont think it’s a fake body i think it’s just light and shadows on some weird debris.
UmassBenjimami t1_j1i5j22 wrote
Idk that’s the first thing I looked at and thought was why they posted in the first place. The real shadows are coming towards the camera, that is dark af there because the light is hitting what looks like a fake head or some shit but it’s not casting onto the actual face
