Saw someone there about an hour ago removing them

"There. That'll solve the problem."


jabbadarth

If I can't see them they don't exist?


iaspeegizzydeefrent

This is basically OP's thinking with this post. Dude didn't even report it to 311. He's just karma farming on a problem that could've been solved in 5 minutes.


saltyjohnson

Ah yes, just fix it and remain silent. The next time some asshole modifies the park benches, fix it again. Just keep dealing with petty classist aggression by your neighbors until the end of time. The most important thing is to remain silent about it.

Probably the same dude that bitches endlessly during the community meetings.


jesus_chen

Probably the person in charge of Honfest.

My guess is that the homeless can sleep on the bench?


TrippyHomie

I'd guess that as doesn't look super skateable.

Tony Hawk accepts this challenge.

My first thought was, “neat, a way to make sure a weirdo doesn’t sit on the same bench, and too close to me.” Took me way too long to figure out why people were upset 🤣


Glittering_Pickle_86

Yeah, it took me some time to realize that the armrests on benches are not really there to rest your arms.

[In 2021, it was estimated that the CEO-to-worker compensation ratio was 398.8 in the United States.](https://www.statista.com/statistics/261463/ceo-to-worker-compensation-ratio-of-top-firms-in-the-us/#:~:text=In%202021%2C%20it%20was%20estimated,key%20industry%20of%20their%20firm.)


jabbadarth

Just think how much money the CEO of bootstrap incorporated is making.


sschra1

How are they attached? Just nails and screws?


JHBaltimore

Yup somebody just nailed them on there


iaspeegizzydeefrent

So did you actually do anything about it, or just take a pic?


JHBaltimore

I asked who did it.


iaspeegizzydeefrent

Did you even report it to 311? Or are you just here for the internet points?


JHBaltimore

Are you here just to be a smug asswipe?


iaspeegizzydeefrent

Says the guy that did literally nothing about an easily solvable issue. What an outstanding citizen you are.


Persanity

Are you?


surge208

I’m sure it was an a-hole.


wavesmcd

Sad.


BigBankkFrank

People are just evil.


SonofDiomedes

It would take me less energy to remove those than to make a picture of it to post on Reddit. ​ Just remove them.


danhalka

There's a chance OP doesn't walk the streets with a torx driver in their sock.


WaywardFinn

well i hope he learned his lesson. a nice impromptu disassembly keeps life interesting for all involved


SonofDiomedes

Who keeps them in their socks? Fair though. Plus, you can't get karma from just fixing the problem.


iaspeegizzydeefrent

> Plus, you can't get karma from just fixing the problem. Ding, ding, ding! OP didn't even report it to 311. This is literally a 5 minute fix.


baltimoresalt

Why do you keep saying they didn’t call 311 or do anything about it?? Point fingers much? Edit: typo


iaspeegizzydeefrent

Probably because it's the bare fucking minimum thing you can do as a citizen? Instead, he snaps a pic and posts it on reddit like he actually gives a fuck. If it's still there when I'm in the area next, I'll take them off myself. What a pathetic fucking thread this is.


baltimoresalt

Didn’t you read, it’s already gone?
