Are people in pittsburgh angry and/or confrontational? (apartments, subdivisions)

[HillsHollow]

Hmm...

I wonder how accurate the Pittsbugh Parking Chair Map is?

I could actually use some new furniture for my back porch. Methinks I should drive around in my trusty Mazda and snatch up those chairs people are just leaving by the curb!

Fully agreed.

Yep, that's when the shotguns come out.

Doesn't he realize he's in Appalachia?

I've met my fair share of Pittsburghers and I have lived not to far from Pittsburgh my whole life. I'd hate to part from here, my whole life has been growing up in PA. But it just all depends on the personality of person. Most people are very friendly but some can be idiots.

If you're renting its going to **** your landlord off when he has to replace a broken window in the middle of the winter, IF he feels like replacing it quickly in the first place.

Unless there's a pile of snow and you spent hours digging your spot out, you need to quit being lazy and deal with the parking situation like everyone else on your block. If you're physically challenged have the city put a handicapped spot in front of your place. If one of my lazy former neighbors can arrange to get one I'm sure that you can too.

This attitude is why everyone loves transplants.
They move to an area and get all ticked off that an area is how it is.

Too bad you can't respect others. Why can't YOU park down the road, are you too lazy? Do you think it's you right to steal someone else's hard work?
Pittsburgh is set up like many European cities, close quarters. You learn to respect that and those who live around you.

Then there's the people that were born here and recognize that "the chair" and the Pittsburgh Left are two illegal things that should not be tolerated. It makes the population of the city look like buffoons if we support illegal behavior as a whole, no matter if it's "part of the culture".

I spent some time going to school in Limerick, Ireland. Limerick's nickname was "Stab City" due to a series of stabbings in the 1980's. At no point did I hear, "hey, screw you, stabbing one another is part of our local culture, if you don't like it get out!"

Unless you don't want your car to be egg'd (and trust me when I tell you, that's the minimal punishment on my street), you should RESPECT THE CHAIR!

Or people in this city could not act like white trash by egging cars because they had to walk a block. What part of 'public street' is hard to understand?

If people care about having private parking so much, why the hell did they ever live in a house with on-street parking? Don't inconvenience other people because you didn't think that one through.
