Sorry about the retard thing. Not ignorant, just irreverent.

Haha, sounds like Scooter Operator has some unresolved issues regarding scooting and scoot-parking. Is it just me, or is that about the nicest, most detailed note one could hope for (better than the hands-on, angry approach of the LA linked comment above) explaining the parking situation? I mean, this is SF, a city with a famous lack-of-parking issue…and don’t you drive a scooter so that a. you emit less/consume less fuel; and b. can park more easily than 99.99% of the population? Seems like Scooter Operator (3 notes none-the-wiser) doesn’t realize that not every parking situation in the city is chiseled into the law books, and plenty of people do what they can to try to make accommodations for the lack of parking.

And what’s up with the use of the word “retard?” You have something against the mentally handicapped? Or are you just that ignorant? And the “beat up pickup stuffed with laborers?” What? They don’t deserve that space, but you, the privileged Scooter Operator do? And who keeps three notes as their own little trophies?

Look, where would the mission be without a terrible scooter scrooge attacking people that are at the mercy of terrible landlords?

I bet it’s just so hard to ride around town with your iphone strapped onto your jock and your lip quivering ever-so-self-righteously on a stupid blog. Man, what I wouldn’t give to meet that guy at Tartine later! I’m willing to wager he’s writing a little wiki right now about how to be a Caucasian with a fetish for almost-motorcycles.

And for the record, really cool of him to post her/his address. Hope that guy burns in scooter parking hell!

Look — LA is just the same as here! (Except they didn’t say “thanks!” on the windshield.)

Wait — if the note is still there, either the driver didn’t even notice it, or they are proud of it. So LA *is* different than here.

Clearly this person was in the wrong for moving your scooter. But your “yelling the whole time at 8:30 in the morning” seems like a real bone-headed strategy for resolving this dispute.

God I fucking hate people. It’s a $100 ticket if the DPT happens by while your bike is parked on the sidewalk. Speaking from experience, they’re not interested in whether you put it there, or some asshole who wanted your space did.
