Jonathan pulled in behind this guy at a gas station on the Fellsway in Medford this morning. Once the guy got out, did he clear the roughly eighth of an inch of obscuring snow off his rear window? No. He got the gas going, then got back into his nice, warm, still running car.

A roving UHub photographer paused to pay homage to the Masshole who parked in a small no-parking area in front of the Square Root in Roslindale Square this evening, making it almost impossible for bus drivers to make the turn onto Cornth Street and so gridlocking the Square.

Parking in a bike lane? Boring, not worth mentioning anymore. But even a jaded Bostonian like our own roving UHub photographer AlisonO could only watch in amazement today when a guy in a pickup drovee down the protected bike lanes, the ones blocked off to keep people like him away, on Staniford Street so he could get to the parking lot on the corner with Merrimac that much faster.
Just when I thought Boston drivers couldn't surprise me.
