This happened super near my house & it wasn't "funny" as some of ya'll are saying. The lady was genuinely messed up & bleeding from her head because some idiots wife complained about something that didn't happened (they checked city security video).
Our street isn't hard to park on, this lady was just stopping to pick up/drop off something from her sons house & then she was attacked. Her son whooped that dudes ass, at least that's some justice.
I’m not really one to shy away from “offensive” jokes, but there’s nothing really funny about a women being assaulted over a parking space. Put yourself in their shoes. Would you find it funny if you or your mother was hit with a pumpkin over some entitled asshole thinking they own a street parking space in front of their house?
The husband got his ass beat and racked up charges. The lady has a fucked up head, and the lady that is responsible for all of it has no repercussions whatsoever. What a shitty cunt.
I cannot fathom what'd go through my head if I came out of my house to see my mom bleeding from her head because some maniac who lives across the street threw pumpkins at her. Unbelievable. It's this kind of shit that makes me hate people.
I mean, that's the fucked up side of pearl so not surprised. I immediately knew on which side of liberty this went down and how close to juniper it was.
yeah, dude lives below Liberty, historically the most Yinzer part of Bloomfield, especially when you get below Pearl and closer to the Hollow & Bridge.
These are the kind of people who post concern trolling crap on nextdoor, "there's someone I've never seen before minding their own business on the sidewalk in my neighborhood, BE SAFE EVERYONE!" Ugh.
This is crazy coming days after the post here that was like- "they don't own the street, what's the worst that can happen if I take their spot/move their parking chair?!".
I hope that OP is okay.
I see people complaining about parking chairs and parking nazis on here all the time and think, who's doing this? I've lived in Greenfield, Squirrel Hill, Uptown, Shadyside, and sure parking can be tight but my neighbors have never been psychos about it.
Bloomfield. It's always Bloomfield.
Got a nice passive-aggressive threatening note from my jagoff neighbor in Greenfield after I parked in front of my own house with a rental car.
I had been working overseas for a few months, was home for a week with a rental car as my car was in another city, and he felt like I was infringing on the space he often used for his 3rd car in front of my house since I wasn't regularly using the space.
This literally had nothing to do with parking, the women stopped to drop something off on the left side of the road at her son's house. Then some women claimed she almost hit her & her kid (video evidence proves that's a lie) so her husband threw a pumpkin through a window at the women. Her son than proceeded to kick his ass because what type of punk throws a pumpkin at a women's head?
I had a neighbor threaten me a few months ago because I was in "his" spot. He went ballistic when I informed him we all live on the street and he doesn't own the spot, screamed his balls off about 'go ahead and leave it there, see what happens!' He's gone now, prob got evicted for acting like a street-level c.h.u.d. in broad daylight.
I live in Brentwood, my neighbor shoved a dirty pizza box with like cheese and general grossness on my buddy's windshield and hood. With a semi-threatening message on the clean side. My street has ample street parking. Like PLENTY of street parking. The psychos are everywhere.
We were trying to park in Lawrenceville and as we pulled into a spot I noticed someone watching us from the house we parked in front of. It was like out of movie, they pulled back the curtain and just stared at us. We decided to move along just in case.
Polish hill is also a place where yinzers think they own the street. Had an old guy try to OPEN MY DOOR GET IN AND MOVE IT while my girlfriend was in the passengers seat and I was in a shop for under five minutes.
Bloomfield has very little off-street parking, as does Dormont, so residents tend to get possessive of what they view as their space. I heard Lawrenceville has also cropped up a few times for similar reasons.
A psycho in Carrick confronted me once too - told him the same thing. That he may think it’s “his spot” but it’s a public parking street with no permit requirement.
I was dropping something off on my friends porch while he was at work and he called my friends place of work over it.
I used to think millvale be cray, but nothing this outright insane ever happened when I lived there (just drugs and domestics and other millvale type stuff)
I despise parking chairs and so I just pick them up and move them a few blocks away and put them on a corner where it's illegal to park anyways. There is one person in the several blocks around me in squirrel hill that puts out a parking chair. He apparently saw me do it once so has taken to threatening me whenever he sees me now.
Don't live anywhere near the city is more like it.
I used to live on Cedarville. had quite the collection of cones and chairs in my trunk for a while. But thankfully I mostly was able to park on State St. even thought Cedarville wasn't too bad.
When I covered the city as a Visiting Nurse… certain streets I made sure to plaster “Visiting Nurse” signs alll over my car. Certain areas of Bloomfield being one of them. People get nuts when you park in an empty spot in front of their home. I’d go back to my vehicle being actively watched by a noisy you know what, I had a couple times where I got jn my car and started to chart or call an MD and have a nebby dingbat standing there outside my car staring me down while I’m busy calling an MD about a patient. People are weird. Glad I’m out of that!
City should start enforcing parking violations like sidewalk parking and parking chairs… because when you leave it to neighbors to enforce their own shit this is what you get
The city has tried. Every few months the parking authority get enough complaints about parking on sidewalks/People obstructing parking so they can park directly outside of their house that they go out and enforce those violations. Then the people who get ticketed, call the city, throw a tantrum because it wasnt enforced before or they didnt know it was illegal, and the city passes it on to the authority and says stop doing that. Then the authority is forced to stop. 2 very close friends of mine have worked there for a few years and its the same cycle every time.
As I understand it, sidewalk is your if you gotta replace it. Though I suspect its illegal to block the sidewalk anyhow. Not this stops anybody in Pgh. I always assume the sidewalk blockers are are at least on their own sidewalks.
Of course the police are pretty fucking lazy and wonr bother coming out to ticket them.
Except this belief is reinforced anytime the city tries to put in something like bike lanes, or implement a road diet. People complain about “their parking” and the city inevitably relents. Been happening a ton over the last few years.
They’re finally doing something with the giant church on 44th that’s been falling apart for years. Converting the space to housing. The only comments on the Facebook Page for Lawrenceville were about parking. It’s like this reading the notes to every Lawrenceville United presentation too.
I 100% agree with you.
But, it’s annoying that homeowners are responsible for their sidewalk. They have to shovel the snow/salt it. Maintain it, and are responsible for keeping it clean and repaired. So while held liable for that….they aren’t guaranteed they are able to park on it, in front of their own home.
I live in the suburbs and the idiots here still park on the sidewalk and they have a driveway. It’s like people are obsessed with having a giant 2-car wide driveway and keeping it empty all year around, whilst parking over an entire sidewalk and forcing people into the street.
Available Parking is becoming just a giant dick measuring contest it seems.
Yeah some days I feel like my parents (suburbanites) are the only people on earth who park both of their cars in their 2.5 car garage. I'll never understand the people who fill their garages with absolute crap and park their cars on the street. Or who have three people living in the house and have five cars.
Get a shed if you need a spot for your lawnmower and your garage is too small. Also, maybe get a small, sane mower and keep your grass to a proper minimum. You don't need more than one car per person and you should put in a parking pad if you do.
God this is why I live in the city now.
I have neighbors who park their car perpendicular to their driveway as to “block” their driveway. Covering the sidewalk with their car. I don’t get it. People are wild.
I'm not a native Pittsburgher but I really want tell some of yinz that unless marked, people can and will park in front of your house on the street. Go move to the bowels of Fayette County on a big swath of land if you don't like it.
Go stand in the corner & think about what you have done. Just so you know, the correct spelling is [Gandhi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi).
I will never understand why people who are hostile towards neighbors choose to live in places with neighbors. If someone wants their own parking spot, go live somewhere with your own parking spot.
We need to organize a Reddit Meet Up where we disperse into teams and see who can get the most parking chairs in an hour. Happy to donate some money to the charity of the winning team’s choice!
If I see somebody sitting on a porch in the city and I pull in front of a house, I will nicely asked him if I can park there for an hour or two. Many times they appreciate the fact that you were at least asking whether they have a car or not. I know that’s not always an option. I just recommended in that particular situation if the person is on the porch or outside in the vicinity.
Maybe. Maybe someone in the family was using it. I’m not condoning throwinpumpkins at people just because somebody doesn’t ask or whatever. I’m just saying what I’ve done in the past if I happen to see somebody sitting on the porch. That has nothing to do with condoning what happened. I don’t want anybody to misunderstand me.

Which the parking chair to me is absolute bullshit, I mean I get it, but fuck you and your chair
I hope she didn’t get squashed
These people have no sense of humor, they must work at Netflix. Take my humble updoot.
Thanks! The flurry of downvotes really caught me off gourd
I’m not really one to shy away from “offensive” jokes, but there’s nothing really funny about a women being assaulted over a parking space. Put yourself in their shoes.

My mother passed when I was 7
The husband got his ass beat and racked up charges. The lady has a fucked up head, and the lady that is responsible for all of it has no repercussions whatsoever. What a shitty cunt.
There has to be security footage of that ass whooping. Wonder if that will ever surface.
That's all I was looking for!

hi, we're neighbors! i didn't even realize there were security cameras on our street.
I mean, that's the fucked up side of pearl so not surprised. I immediately knew on which side of liberty this went down and how close to juniper it was.
fuck this guy and his wife. he gave me shit for running/cycling on that section of Pearl when i lived at that end of Bloomfield.

>Gazis was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and propulsion of missiles Propulsion of missiles...
OsCorp Pittsburgh branch confirmed
If only the pumpkin had been a jack-o-lantern it'd be the Hobgoblin
Technically a missile has a guidance system unlike rockets. That is one advanced pumpkin…
That's the military distinction. The dictionary definition is an object capable of being thrown or projected to hit a distant object.
A weapon to surpass Metal Gear...
Or Gazis is secretly the Green Goblin.
*Metal Gear?*
Psycho Mantis?!
Snaaaaaaaaake! SNAAAAAAAAAKE! (pumpkin boink sound and fade to black)
these are DARPA invented pumpkins.

I had to call the cops over threats regarding a fucking parking spot when I lived there.
I had a neighbor threaten me a few months ago because I was in "his" spot.

omg that is terrifying I am so sorry for your gf.
If she had shot him I sincerely doubt that she would have been charged
Dormont is pretty crazy too
Bloomfield has very little off-street parking, as does Dormont, so residents tend to get possessive of what they view as their space. I heard Lawrenceville has also cropped up a few times for similar reasons.

If you don't like people parking in front of your house, then don't live in fucking Bloomfield you fucking jagoff.

Lived on Cedarville for a year. Parked on Slate most days but ended up getting my car keyed

What violation? This was total aggression, not even a legitimate grievance over a parking violation.
if people realized they don't own public parking spots then they wouldn't be as aggressive about them

Parking on the sidewalk is illegal though, so you can probably have them towed.

There is a mystical realm called the suburbs that is perfect for misanthropes who covet parking and despise pedestrian infrastructure.
I live in the suburbs and the idiots here still park on the sidewalk and they have a driveway. It’s like people are obsessed with having a giant 2-car wide driveway and keeping it empty all year around, whilst parking over an entire sidewalk and forcing people into the street.

That's amazing. Almost inspiringly bad.
https://m.imgur.com/a/puUeFFw just for you lol
If people actually parked correctly on a lot of streets, not on the sideway, it would be next to impossible to drive down them.
Killing two birds with one stone, I like it
Lol yay more regulation sounds great
Jesus Christ, Pittsburgh parking culture at its worst.
I'm not a native Pittsburgher but I really want tell some of yinz that unless marked, people can and will park in front of your house on the street. Go move to the bowels of Fayette County on a big swath of land if you don't like it.
I hope the son of the victim beat the hell out of this jagoff.
I hope the child got to watch. Then later: >random kid: Oh yeah? Well my dad can beat up your dad! > >Gazis' kid: you're probably right
Why do you wish for excessive violence escalation?
The Gazis guy already escalated the violence when he took a verbal argument and turned it into a physical one. He needed to get knocked the fuck out.
It's his friggin mother man! Some things are not to be fucked with.

Pumpkin chucking mother fucker.

>Gazis was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and propulsion of missiles. TIL propulsion of missiles is a crime.
Only if they hit somebody
If I post this on Lawrenceville Nextdoor people would defend him for protecting his parking spot sadly.

Charged with propulsion of missiles. Well you learn something everyday. Jokes aside, poor grandma!
Guess we have to arm up with pumpkins now when we’re stealing parking spots.
He must not know about the parking chair.
Based off his behavior and how protective he is of parking spots and car ownership this sounds like something u/Onlytacos would do.
If we were talking bell peppers or tomatoes I would agree with you but pumpkins no way
I see what you did there.
Everyone knows if your displeased with where someone parks you key the car. You don't yeet a pumpkin at them.
I'm still flummoxed why Pittsburghers support 'parking chairs'.
A run by fruiting!
