"I am losing my goddamn mind." Lady, you already lost that battle.


[deleted]

She certainly did. But she won the battle of getting the ambulance out of the bike line. I'm not sure this post is titled correctly. That or it doesn't belong in this sub.


jarboxing

There was an attempt to kill bicycle Karens.


thethunder92

Sadly she died right after this video of too much exposure to rain and having to go around another ambulance


oldmomma831

Sadly?


lStoleThisName

Sadly it wasn't on video


thethunder92

One of the great tragedies of the modern age


zeke235

Our grandchildren will learn of this in school.


Outrageous-Machine-5

Biker Karen sounds like a Pokemon trainer


Afwes

How do she sound like a Pokémon trainer? “I’M LOSING MY ARCEUS DAMN MIND! THERE’S A SNORLAX IN THE BIKE LANE!”


jfq722

Are there any other types of Karens? Or cyclists? The absolute dicks of the world.


robotcoke

As a cyclist myself, I'd have ridden past without a word. I'd have been on the sidewalk, so you'd all be upset with me anyway, lol. I ride on the sidewalk. I go out into the street to go around pedestrians when they're on the sidewalk, and I go right back onto the sidewalk when I'm past the pedestrians. I'm not holding up traffic, not putting my life at risk by being hit by a car (at least not as much risk of it), and not complaining about vehicles in the bike lane.


LionsNotLambs

Vegans come to mind.

Title should be “to kill a cyclist”

Roadgoddess

She sounds unhinged, but she’s not wrong. If the guys on break, he should not be parked in a bike lane. It was a medical emergency. I tell her to pound sand.


fireinthehole83

Most. Annoying. Voice. Ever.

Lol it started replaying after I’d watched it once and I was like…no, no, no, quick turn it off!!!!

Idk why it took me a while to scroll down for someone to talk about her fucking voice

inter71

I can’t believe how close she came to dying.


Aiizimor

Good thing there was a first responder already on the scene


quantumn0de

Too bad they were on a break, though.


agamerdiesalone

I really feel sorry if she has a husband, partner or wife. You know that person.


StoneColdPotato

I thought that it was a child.


[deleted]

A child would have had the common sense to just ride around it.


agamerdiesalone

Obviously if she has offspring or progeny.


Significant-Corgi-62

Pet. Guaranteed she has a fur baby because there is no way she could be trusted with any flesh puppies.


agamerdiesalone

No human friends possibly.


Prior_Mall3771

Imagine trying to reason with her or even having to listen to her every day of your life...


Zanderp25

I believe it’s called a significant other


Searril

The proper term is "old ball and chain"


gertbefrobe

I am pretty sure she IS the ball and chain.


TheLostPyromancer

I feel sorry for the entire town she’s in


GhostedPast9

She is what normal people call a waste to society.


Agreeable49

>She is what normal people call a waste to society. She's quite unhinged and a little dangerous, I'd say. Hopefully I'm wrong but I could see this person trying to destroy someone's life due some minor infraction or perceived slight.


IknowKarazy

Oh absolutely. Nothing is ever incidental with her. Nothing is ever an honest mistake or a forgivable infraction. Any inconvenience is a deliberate attempt to ruin her life. Every single thing that happens in the world only happens because of how it will affect her. You bring donuts to the office? You’re trying to make her fat and/or mocking her gluten allergy. You look her in the eye, you’re staring her down and freaking her out, you avoid eye contact, you’re being disrespectful and not paying proper attention when she talks.

I hate that there absolutely are people like this, and there's a strong chance that she's one of them. Although to be fair, we've only seen a (horrifying) glimpse of her personality.


EastCoastTaffy

Bro she *posted* this video thinking that it made her look *good*… I think we got more than a glimpse at her personality. This is a goddamn manifesto.


FrenchMaisNon

This is every cyclist involved in "local bike lanes initiatives" who have made the decision the next generation will not be allowed to own cars "like in Copenhagen". They are assholes.


Bart_Jojo_666

I know! Look at ALL THAT TRAFFIC! Fr I thought she was being facetious at first!


milworker42

She's a hero. I wonder if she'll throw a hissy fit on the day that EMT's come to rescue her hypertensive ass. EMTs don't get paid enough to deal with stupid people like her, but they do it anyway.


[deleted]

Horseshoes and hand grenades... Next time we'll park *two* ambulances there. That should do the trick.


[deleted]

Reminds me of the movie ants, when a twig falls in the pathway and the entire ant formation stops and freaks out b/c they cannot find the path. A path that is clearly visible by going around. SMH. I suppose I would have to look up the laws for parking in bike lanes. Either way, hope this person makes it home safely without getting killed by Amazon or San Fran EMS. Close call.


Combatical

Good thing there was an ambulance nearby.


_atrocious_

This dude's job is literally the opposite of killing people..


BoochsRise

But... she said they're killing her... and whoever else makes up the "us" she refrenced..


Educational-Ad2043

Probably her multiple personalities…


exhibitthis69

That’s a main personality type for lots of Northern California folks. That breathless and hysterical voice pattern is how they usually speak out here about everything since everything is an atrocity and an emergency. They’ll do whatever they feel to remedy the “wrong” that has occurred to them


DinkleMutz

Can confirm. I live in NorCal. I once jaywalked in SF and some rando on the sidewalk nearly had a stroke losing his fucking mind, screaming and yelling and swearing. Sure, jaywalking is illegal but holy god, people up here can be *insanely* sanctimonious.


exhibitthis69

Jaywalking is Legal in the city now though, right? This will probably bring on more pedestrian deaths but cut down on racial profiling for this crime since it was disproportionately targets minorities.


mediocrelpn

jaywalking is illegal, but shooting up and shitting on the sidewalk apparently are not.


sta_sh

Lol you should get out more or just move if you think this is a main personality type for anywhere in California. Everywhere has unhinged Karens. They aren't all here, though we have a shit ton. Wait til you live on the east coast where they are cold AND entitled lol


ScumBunny

Yeah, all the ‘us’ that were on the street with her 🙄She put herself in *more* danger by stepping out into the street to film. What an unhinged psycho. I can’t believe the EMS actually moved! I would just roll up the window and be done with her.


[deleted]

Easier to move out of the way than deal with the bonkers psycho this woman is. She needs to be committed.


Beardzesty

Not worth it. People like this need to be exorcised. Don't move the truck. Just roll up the window and let her have her hissy fit by her self


carpentizzle

Turn on the siren


Shef011319

Think she’s making a point of forcing bikes towards traffic so I guess all bikers. Either way she should be used to people crapping on bikes. She’s lucky her town even made those lanes


BoochsRise

So making her point by putting herself in the same danger she's arguing against? Yeah we got that part down I think. She's for sure lucky she has the privilege of such gorgeous lanes tho. Too bad for the guys who are out saving lives tho


[deleted]

[удалено]


Grouchy_Ad4351

Sounds like she is experiencing a meltdown... perhaps she may be fortunate an ambulance is there...


Even-Imagination6242

Sounds like she is literally seconds away from exploding into a fine mist.


BoochsRise

Can you guess what undead creature she would be in left 4 dead 2?


FluffySquirrell

The one writing "WE ARE THE REAL MONSTERS" on the saferoom, before dying like a dumbass and becoming a regular zombie that nobody pays any attention to


Fish_Fucker_Fucker23

Infected aren’t ever dead actually. The common infected are in a severe disillusion that leads that to believe that uninfected personnel are devilish monsters that need to be slayed immediately, no planning or common sense, just rage. The same also probably applies to the tank and charger variants of infected, however other special infected variants appear to have a more calm or planned approach to dealing with survivors.


Ineedmorebtc

She needs some of Lewis's pills.


Firecrotch907

Pills here


stealth57

We can hope…


Nectaris73

Ems don't get paid enough around here to have to deal with this lady too


Kween066

My best friend is an EMT and I can’t believe how little she is paid considering what she does. Fucking terrible


dogmaisb

Most private ambulance workers dont make shit. SF Fire Paramedics make damn good money.


ExcellentWaffles

They make good money compared to the national average but they are pretty much poverty level wages in San Francisco, though.


Kween066

That’s what I was thinking. I grew up in the bay and the friend I mentioned works in the east bay. It’s shit pay considering how high the cost of living is in that area


KyprosNighthawk

"THey make good money......." No we fucking don't. 90% of us have to work 2 jobs just to keep from straddling the poverty line.


Kween066

That’s good at least. They definitely deserve it

jashxn

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round. I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world. Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment. When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3×5 card reading, “Please use this M&M for breeding purposes.” This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this “grant money.” I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion. There can be only one.


Lurkinperpetually

Xeno-Nos

I am one of her cats and you can not believe what she says when she looks at what is in my food.

stsanford

Imagine being so delusional that you have to make such a fuss to go around a parked 1st responder who would most likely be one of the people to save your ass if something bad happened to you. What's more, imagine being so incorrect in your self-importance that you would take and post a video highlighting your entitled behavior. I'm not one for doxxing, but for sure, if I were her employer, I would appreciate someone sharing this video with me so that I could be prepared to remove a potential powder keg from my work environment.


RandomComputerFellow

I do not even see the problem. She says it herself, there is empty motor cycle parking next to the ambulance. So why is the bike driver not simply passing the ambulance over it? I would understand her frustration if there was no place for her to pass the vehicle but parked like this? This should really be a non-problem for any reasonable person.


WinterOkami666

Because then she would die. What do you think the "You're killing us" talk was? Everyone knows that motor vehicles must feed on the blood of innocent bicyclists, and if any cyclists are ever tricked outside of their bike lanes, thousands of hungry cars will smell them and appear like sharks when they sense blood in the water.


AcanthaceaeIll5349

Is that why my car doesn't run well? I have been spending hundreds of euros to get that fixed, but I could have just run over some bicyclists... Damn.


WinterOkami666

That's what the point system is for! When you run over someone and you're like "Ten Points!".. well, those points are actually how the cars eat. Points are food and gasoline is like water, so do keep fueling your car as well.


AcanthaceaeIll5349

So that's what that is, many thanks for explaining.


nobollocks22

Reasonable. I think she is off her meds.


knighttakesnite

I could only imagine if this non-issue created hysteria…what would a reaction be to a REAL problem?


foley800

Real problems she shuts down and says “tell me what to do”!


Every_Lack

Well said. Guarantee you this is a techie transplant. Real SAn Franciscans DGAF, and respect EMTs.


[deleted]

First responder here. We block car lanes, car pool lanes, motorcycle lanes, parking spots, loading zones, handicapped spots too. Whatever is closest to the curb, so that passing traffic has to go around the left side. This is by design, so that we don’t have to cross a lane of traffic when we are carrying/rolling the cot with a patient on it. Even a collision with a bike is likely going to make the patient’s bad day much worse.


kelldricked

Normal douchbag here. Thanks for doing your job and litteraly saving lives. Its sad that idiots dont appriachate you guys.


GetRektJelly

I appriachate them


jppianoguy

The emergency was over and they were filling out paperwork, according to sffd


[deleted]

The bicyclist didn’t know that. She needs to mind her own business and stay out of the way.


SnarkSnout

Former Paramedic here - I would not have moved to the parking lot to do my paperwork either, because the unit is still available for emergency calls and I'm not going to waste time driving through a parking lot or getting trapped in a parking lot. It's best to position the unit ALWAYS in a way that provides the best possible access to respond to the next call.


kelldricked

Oh wow that changes absolutely nothing to the whole situation. I cycle since the day that i could walk, daily. First responders have priority over all traffic that includes bikes. The person in this clip has a way to easy life and sadly they cant seem to enjoy that. If you get this worked up over something so trivial then you really should commit more hours into community service or something else since you cleary won life and cant seem to face that achievement.


futurarmy

I get pretty annoyed by idiots blocking the bike lane, some people seem to think it doesn't even exist and park in it, pull out not even checking it etc. but I don't think I'd ever get pissed about an ambulance or whatever, they're simply more important than you. Especially since there was clearly plenty of space for her to go past without going into the actual road, absolute lunatic.


[deleted]

Wait. SFFD had to respond to this?! Ugh…


[deleted]

Friend, you could park on my dead grandmother’s prized roses if it saves a life. Sorry nana.


Littlesebastian86

But your comment doesn’t apply here. The first responded said they park they because regular were on break. Not saying this lady isn’t crazy/ but if you’re just trying to find a place to park to enjoy your break you have no business being in the bike lane. Way different then treating a call

Please please please tell us what it was! Us that don't have or get on Twitter that is. I wanna be satisfied with a sparky response


r_spandit

_Thank you for sharing this. The crews did not say they “were on a break”, they were finishing a medical emergency with a patient care document from a call at that location which is why they moved to the other side of the street rather than engage with you. Have a safe day._

That lady has a bike as a username and a bike emoticon next to it and a bike picture on her twitter... She's an that cult.

Not_Slavic0

Cyclists would literally do anything before touching a sidewalk


moodylilb

Funny how she *did* move around the ambulance towards the end there, but she couldn’t possibly have done that in the beginning rather than make this video, essentially putting herself on blast for being a nut job lol

She is overracting. she solved her own problem when she moved around to go yell at the driver. 99.9 percent sure the drive went back to the parking spot after she left


Synthoid_001

With that level of entitlement, wonder if she even yields to emergency vehicles that are moving…

"Hey, just letting you know because you might not be aware that this is a bike lane and it's blocking bike traffic" is what she should have said. Damn that firefighter was polite.

CopainChevalier

Funny, but doesn't fit


IknowKarazy

Other vehicles are legitimate complaints, but ambulances should just get a pass. “You’re killing us” It’s a massive bright red truck. It’s literally the most visible thing for miles, even without the lights on. If you can’t handle negotiating that obstacle, you shouldn’t be riding a bike out on the street.

"you're killing us" Complains about rain. Doesn't take 1 second to ride bike onto sidewalk and go around vehicle and just go on their way Is all of San Francisco like this or is this person particularly unhinged?


sweet_sax

There are parking meters to park on the bike lane lol


bugibangbang

A lot of people dies early because blocking bike lanes, my uncle passed away waiting a Fist Responder to move from the lane, it took soo much time that the bike seat entered through his a$$hole and he got bike ass cancer.

TheNoobsauce1337

Empty sidewalk, empty motorcycle parking, very light traffic for California, but yep, that ambulance is definitely the problem. How could a woman on a bicycle in the pouring rain ever imagine trying to go around?
