Wednesday Walk - Obstacles on the way

I walk every weekday morning, and also every Wednesday.
I walk to the position from where the bus that takes me to the place where I work leaves.
It's not a big walk, but it means to me, every morning and every afternoon, I walk about 1.5 km in both directions, a total of 3 km. With the activities I have during the day and in the evening, quite enough.

With that walk, I avoid using the public bus, but I don't avoid the various obstacles that arise during that walk. Whether it's fallen leaves, a few branches, a rain puddle, a pile of snow...
Or most often improperly parked cars.

I don't like it at all when I see the lack of culture of a driver by leaving his car parked on the sidewalks.
I'm a driver myself and when I park my car, I know to go a few streets away, just to park it properly, in a place that won't bother anyone.
And not like this, in the middle of the sidewalk...

Almost a fight

While I was taking a picture of one of these cars, I heard a man behind me who asked me: "What are you taking pictures of with that phone?".
What impudence.
So what did that dude think I was photographed?.
Yeah, he probably wasn't happy that I captured his arrogance with a picture...
"I'm taking a picture of how strangely this car parked," I say to the nervous men and continue on my way...
I hear an excuse behind me: "Well, I just left the car there for a minute, so I'd like to get away quickly...". What can I say...
"Dear sir, I'm sorry that I didn't come this way two minutes later, when your car wouldn't have bothered me, because it wouldn't have been blocked across the entire sidewalk. It's true, I could have bypassed it, exiting to the street or by stepping over the grass (as I usually did around the car), but ... how would a mother driving her baby in a pram or a man who is blind and walks with a cane go around your car?"
He looked down at the ground, said "I'm sorry", sat in the car in shame and drove away.

So there was no quarrel 😀

He drove off on his way, and I continued on mine, until the next obstacle... Driving an uncultured driver...

What to do, it seems there are a lot of them in my neighborhood.

I end that morning walk at the bus stop, where I board the bus and allow myself to be driven by a professional to my workplace.

Good morning to all Hive walkers. I wish you a nice walk this Wednesday and that you have no obstacles in your paths, as I had!

Hello dear friend @duskobgd good morning
Many times one does not understand people, how they can be so indifferent when parking their car disturbing pedestrians, and what is most difficult for me to believe is that they are angry because you have taken a photograph of their bad actions.
Beautiful daily walk, I appreciate you sharing these shots and Wednesday's walking experience.

My dear friend @jlufer
The old saying goes: Only the universe and human stupidity have no limits.
But I think that sometimes rudeness, selfishness and arrogance also have no limits.
And that's why, whenever I have the opportunity, I warn those who cross that border...

I don't mind winter and I like to walk when it snows, especially when it stops falling and there is no wind. While it squeaks underfoot and is not slippery. it can be a little tiring, but it's a real workout.

I am glad that you are with us on Wednesday, despite planning for medical intervention.
I wish you the best of luck with scheduling your surgery, so that you enter the new year completely healed.

I used to be the same, but as I get older I feel the cold a lot more

I am sure all will work out well with my medical issues

Thanks
