One Toronto motorist recently received an onslaught of criticism after they posted a lengthy rant discussing a situation in which they racked up a $150 ticket for parking illegally during a simple food run. 

The rant, which has since been removed from the Toronto Reddit page due to its offensive language, starts off with the driver declaring that the city "doesn't want" to function.

Anon thinks the city is falling apart because he wasn’t allowed to park on the sidewalk.

Enjoy that $170 burrito champ.

"I go to pick up a burrito downtown, park for 30 seconds with three wheels on the sidewalk, and end up with a $150 ticket. So brilliant. Why the f*ck would I ever purchase food f*cking downtown again? Are you f*cking kidding me? A $170 f*cking burrito," the rant reads. 

"Then driving home 20 red lights in a row. What kind of f*cking functionality is this bullsh*t," the tirade continues. 

This guy never driving into Toronto again is an absolute win and will probably prevent at least one injury crash. Big thanks to the ticketing officer. 🫡

As expected, the rant picked up lots of fierce backlash online, with many respondents noting that the driver potentially put other pedestrians at risk, and should've just found a safe spot to park their vehicle. 

How bad is the parking to get 3 wheels on the sidewalk? Like you’ve just abandoned it half on and off the road at a diagonal? Wtf?

"Bruh. You parked illegally with three wheels on the sidewalk (unless you're on a tricycle I can't even picture how this is possible) and you got a ticket. That is the city working. You think the city would be more functional if we all just parked wherever the fuck we wanted including sidewalks?" one person wrote on Reddit. 

Oh no, what will Toronto do without this guy buying a burrito

"The city is functioning normally. You parked on the sidewalk and got a ticket for doing so. Don't do that next time. You are not entitled to store your thousand pounds of couches and metal on public, pedestrian property," another person said. 

Actually, a city that manages to ticket this kind of behavior this quickly is the definition of a functional city

"You're an idiot. Get the green P app, pay the $0.50 for 5 minutes. It was a $20 burrito and $150 of bad choices. Bet you did it at rush hour too when they're really looking for offenders who slow down traffic illegally parking," one comment reads. 

I'm struggling to understand how someone can park so badly that 3 wheels end up on the pavement.

"He's right though; a $150 fine for endangering pedestrians and parking on the sidewalk IS unreasonable. The car should be impounded," a user on X concluded.
