Reply to comment by [deleted] in Parade in South Philly? by VeryScaryTerry

> This sub really hates people having fun lol

It's more about hating things that are major intrusions into other peoples' lives. All of these events are huge headaches for people who don't want to deal with them and are hard to ignore.

I don’t see any of these as major intrusions except for MIA and that’s only because I live a couple blocks from the art museum, and really the most annoying thing about it is that the parkway is blocked and it’s harder to get into Center City. I do think there’s a difference when there’s a lot of drunken debauchery happening (people urinating and throwing up in public, fights breaking out, anything that puts the public in danger like the ATV and dirt bike riders that don’t pay attention to road rules and are loud AF at all hours). I used to live above a bar and I detested St. Patrick’s Day when the Erin Express would come through and bring loads of loud, drunken idiots and I can see how people who live along the Mummers parade route would get pissed for the same reason.
