I thought it meant "Brings Me Women". :biggrin:

It does. Women love firefighters. Thus BMW owners then park infront of fire hydrants in hope that firefighters come, followed by the women

Some jackwagon parked his car in front of one of the bays at a neighboring FD, and they didn't know where he went. There were going to have it towed, but before a tow truck could get there they had a call. They merely opened the bay door, pushed the car off the apron, across the street and into a creek that was beside the road to get it out of the travel lane, then responded to the call.

The owner was cited, had to fix his own car, and had to pay for the damages (scuffed bumper) to the fire truck.

Not having a problem with that at all. They needed to respond, there was an obstacle, remove obstacle right fucking now.

How so? Taking multiple parking spaces doesn't affect the health/safety of anyone whereas blocking a fire hydrant does.

If you take multiple spots with a single car you are a jerk, period. You don't have to affect health or safety to be a jerk.

So congrats on being a jerk! Way to go! You are yet another "the world revolves around me" asshats that we have more than enough of already.

I don't know why you guys would discourage him.

If he's so worried about door dings or whatever else (a legit concern), he should park at the back of the lot. That's what I always do. Or sidle up to the edge of the last spot on a row.

But, since he's too inept and/or lazy to do one of those, he just finds two open spaces and blatantly parks in both of them. Why do I not discourage that? 'Cause it will only accelerate him getting what he deserves. Bet his car has been thoroughly keyed at least once, and god knows how many people's spit is on it.

One time I even pissed all over somebody's driver side door handle. But there was a longer story to that...

Wow, are people even reading this thread? A reason is given why the side ports on the hydrant aren't used, and a person asks about the "splitter" thingy. Then an answer is given why the "splitter" thingy isn't used and people ask about the hydrant again. The answer is given and, again, people ask about the "splitter" thingy. Over and over.

Good you noticed. The internet literally makes people stupid. All the surface scanning and no thought. I take everything on here with a super grain of salt. Only 0.02 of a dollar. etc. The dumbest of all are the ones that get sucked into internet narratives that propagate. Nobody can pay attention anymore. You have to put good information into an infographic or something in order to capture peoples attention long enough to actually convey information.

Did you read what I wrote? I'm arguing that it would have been easier and better for the hose to go around the car. It doesn't help their case that the hose immediately turns to go behind the car in the pictures. Furthermore, the argument could be made that it would have been faster to go around the car, so they wasted time messing around with someone's car instead of fighting the fire.

you're right, the hose path wasn't ideal enough; they should have used their rescue tools to cut off the doors instead of just smashing the windows

Why don't they ever toss the hose under the car?
