What owner of a posh Merc doesn't have covered garage parking?

Or have people to clear it off for them?

The cops were stopping people pulling out of long-term uncovered parking at the airport and making them clear off their cars, too. That isn't likely the source.

I know people making $35K a year who drive these things.

Yet they can't figure out why they are always broke.

see lots of these in my neighborhood.. really question where i went wrong in life (I have no car).

Then again, I'm not an idiot who gets themselves into major debt just to have a car to drive.

There's something about getting behind the wheel of a car that automatically creates entitlement anxiety. I was a T rider for decades (and still use it occasionally) until I finally got a driver's license and then a car. I loved snowstorms until I got a car and had to shovel it out. Now I hate them and get seriously anxious about them. This month has been the worst. I have a rented spot for my car so I haven't even had to deal with the space saver wars and I don't use it to get to work. The tiny spot of patience that remains when I need to use the car is gone. Yes, I suffer from mild Post Snow Traumatic Disorder, which will only resolve with the snow piles melting.

Still, that's no excuse for leaving that pile on the car. Is he part of the Olympic Organizing Committee?

If that car has been parked for weeks, the owner must have been getting around some other way. By bicycle? By foot? By T?

and had to come back to Boston mid-week for some reason, because week+ business travelers less often travel mid-week.

Check out how well he meticulously covered his license plate to cover his proverbial ass. That's what I like to call thinking ahead.

if he hits the breaks, the pile will slide down his windshield. It will fly off behind him if he accelerates enough or is driving fast enough that the wind takes it. For city driving, he'll be the one to pay (and will still do it the next time anyway).

I'm equally concerned about the guy taking a picture while driving.

Does masshole apply to transplants (non natives) because i think it is unfair to paint all mass drivers with such a broad brush,,,this person could be from Asia where no one knows how to drive or from Down south where snow might be foreign. Also can only people from other places call massholes massholes or is it locals calling eachother massholes out of affection? I am from here but still dont know.

People use it like it's synonymous with bad driving, but I've always seen it as term for calculated, self-serving aggression.

A "Masshole" might cut you off in a line of cars queued up for an exit without using their blinker, but they know exactly what they're doing. An inattentive moron will drift into your lane without a blinker, but have no awareness of it. They'll probably cruise in the passing lane as well and not process that dozens of cars are passing them on the right. I'd rather deal with a true Masshole than a bad driver any day.

I'll give the guy credit for at least fully clearing all the windows. Was behind a person today whose back window was 95% covered with snow and another person who nearly hit us driving with the front windshield 80% covered as they furiously ran their (ineffective) wipers.

Call the cops. Mass SP has been pushing for people to clear their vehicles. It's a ticket-able violation. I'm sure MSP wouldn't mind the complaint.

People today think they are entitled to something. You know what ? Whoever thinks that and there are a lot of you out there, you better think twice because as far as I'm concerned you better look around because it isn't happening where I come from. Stop thinking that way becsuse your entitled to nothing and as far as this piece of crap driving this car your nothing but a lazy piece of shit who has no courtesy or respect for your fellow driver. Your lucky I wasn't behind you because I guarantee you that I would of had a cop on your ass because they are looking for idiots like you seeing that it caused another fellow driver to lose their life.

...but doesn't it look like he or she is just completely stopped in the left lane, trying to merge to the right just before the exit? Doesn't look like any traffic blocking the lane he or she is in.

So it turns out the Globe tracked down the driver and he feels really bad. See, he got divorced and had the kids that week and was really worried about that parent teacher conference and whether he'd totally screwed up his kids by getting divorced and so when he found out that his kids were doing fine he was so overwhelmed he just raced back to the car and drove off without stopping to clear the roof, then he parked and forgot where he parked because he was so distracted and finally when he found it he was so relieved he didn't think to clear the roof.

you didnt get his license plate # to publicly embarass him. Man, you are slacking. The initial knee-jerk reactions of the trolls wont have half as much ammo. No worries, i hear star magazine is hiring.
