"hey! you! otters! we got this baby? and we don't want it? do you want this baby?"
"*otter agreement noises*"
"Okay well I'm just gonna... *chuck*"
i'd bet the throw actually has something to do with clearing the boat, yeah? cuz otherwise that just seems like a thing one shouldn't do to a tiny little baby otter!
my step-dad related a story to me wherein some guys that were DEFINITELY NOT him and his buddies got super stoned at a concert in Germany and then had a baggage cart race at a mostly-abandoned German train station at like 1 am while he was stationed there
if a bunch of cross-faded 20-something army mechanics can have chariot races with em, they're probably built pretty solid
I would absolutely 100% buy German manufactured carts would be able to do that. American-manufactured carts probably get a wobbly wheel with a busted ring washer out of the factory.

i'm not a marine biologist though.
i assume they got it as far away as they could in case the parent was unwilling to get too close. and i would imagine even young marine mammals don't have much problem falling into the water from a couple feet up. hell, i've had young cousins that have yelled at me to throw them as high and far as possible into a lake.
My first ever job was setting up a new department store (a Canadian chain that eventually got bought by Target) and during the store setup we would frequently have pallet jack races when the supervisors weren't looking
that isn't the worst OHS violation I saw though, by a longshot
no, that would be when some dumbass thought it would be cute to throw a shopping card into the trash compactor, and when it got stuck, decided to climb into the shaft to dislodge/retrieve it. The one saving grace is that it had only been compacting packaging materials that couldn't otherwise be recycled, so it wasn't slick with food waste and broken glass and whatnot yet.

As would a lot of people in that scenario, I suspect - one of those fibreglass poles whipping into your nards at ~100km/h would be a fairly bad day if you were wearing a cup, and I don't think downhill skiers wear cups...

I don't think anyone was doubting the necessity of some sort of reaction.
I hate this societal assumption that the other car MUST have been a dick. Maybe they were also getting the last spot after someone else parked over the line? Maybe they were having an unlucky day, or just got some bad news? Why make the world a worse place just because you decide you deserve to be self-righteous to a stranger you know nothing about?
Edit: My mother-in-law is in a wheelchair. Back when she could drive, if there was no handicapped parking, she would have to park like that. Nowadays I drop her off at the curb and then park myself, but this just makes me so sad...

There's something called the 5% "rule", where if a certain circumstance occurs less than 5% of the time, you should generally discount it when you have no way to know either way. Its certainly -possible- that the person in the gif has some issue that legitimately prevented them from parking inside of the lines, but in the vast majority of the circumstances involved, having to climb into their passenger door because they parked on the line is probably deserved karma.

Once I saw a lady in a Mercedes SLK park horizontally across three vertical handicapped spaces and go into a convenience store to buy cigarettes.
They are all parked in backwards except for one car. It's required in some areas. And I don't care if it is an accident "only 5%" of the time, like you have statistics proving that somehow? Finding narrower and narrower justifications for being a dick to a stranger is the exact opposite of what these boards are for. Sorry ya'll feel it's okay.

Yeah, but I don't think that's a reputation that we're all trying to advertise or cling to.

parking in a parking spot properly isn't being a dick

If the rules thread is accurate, the glorious edict was created in 2012, which is around the same time the boards started getting their act together and not being a total shithole. I don't think you have to be new to see this place as mostly positive and supportive.
I totally get the instinctive desire to get someone back for doing something that seems shitty, it's a nice moment of catharsis. But I think Sunrize has a good point about making assumptions and celebrating petty revenge.
That being said, obviously there's pretty much no justification for taking a handicapped spot you don't need, let alone three, so in that case I'm pretty much fine with whatever karma has in store for them.

The person being the dick, if there even is a dick in this situation, is the person who parked on the line.
The person doing their best to park correctly so as not to damage the car next to them when they exit their vehicle is doing the correct thing. At worst, the individual in the improperly parked car will be momentarily put out by having to enter their car from the passenger side.
So EITHER the person who parked abnormally is a lazy prick and will be minorly inconvenienced OR they did the best they could and will similarly be... minorly inconvenienced. And people having a visceral reaction on the internet doesn't matter either way and they don't need to be scolded for it.

What makes you think they're made in America?

Also that's not fair to the BMW system. It's capable of breaking in time, but it's so advanced it knows a BMW always has right of way.

You mean you can't hear it?
