Two drop off lanes at my daughter's school. After drop off, both lanes T into another road, the right lane has to turn right, the left lane has to turn left. Probably 1 out of every three days, some cop parks in the right lane just past the drop off point, gets out and chit chats with the school employees who direct traffic and kids at the drop off point. This forces people dropping off in the right lane to have to merge into the left after the drop off, which causes traffic to back up.
This cop could literally park 20 feet away in an actual parking spot and not block any traffic.
Infuriating.
I mean, I'm glad a cop is there. Helps prevent assholes being assholes in the drop off area, make everyone feel safe (although after Uvalde maybe not so much). But goddamn, there are a hundred other places the cop could park that wouldn't cause a traffic jam. Of course then the cop would have to walk 20 feet.
I realize compared to shooting and lying and drunk driving and crashing into night clubs, its not a big deal, but it shows the entitlement and lack of giving a fuck.
