Living near the country's biggest hospital, there are hours in the day I can't park my car in my friggin' street!

Buy some traffic cones. Block off your own space.

...I wonder if that's even legal.
 
Depends on whether or not the street is public parking though.  Normally residential areas don't let people who aren't residents park on the street...at least in Canada.

Screw it. What are the cops going to do...hunt down the evil space blocker?
 
As long as they don't SEE you putting them out it could be anyone on the street. 

 
That being said, place cones at your own risk. c:

At the very least, they, or some other random person, would probably just move the cones.
 
Unless an actual hazard was placed there like spikes.  Or something.  Maybe remote control spikes that retract into the ground.

Eh. Most people think cones are important...Plus when you see them in a parking space people tend to just drive by because they don't want to stop, get out, move the cones, get back in, and park.

Broken glass would probably deter people from taking your parking spot... :rolleyes:

I assume no liability for anyone attempting this

Actually parking in my street is for residents of the street only, It is not marked but there is plenty enough for the residents of the whole street. Thing is there is no sign for that! 
I called the municipality and demanded a sign that roughly says "parking is restricted to residents of the streets only'". They told me a sign like that will be a precedent in traffic laws!!
 
Enforcement is non existent. I saw a traffic inspector delivering fines only one time in my year of residency here.
I blame people also, parking lots are across the street but they won't pay the 5$ and risk a fine. They assume to themselves that if there is no sign they can just park there, even though most of them know the truth.

Just got a $40 parking ticket for my motorcycle (there is a ByLaw that states motorcycles can park at pay-to-park areas for free in Toronto), but I parked 5 meters outside of that zone.  I ran inside the bank for 15 minutes, my bank receipt was printed at 2:27pm... my ticket was printed at 2:26pm.

I like this idea

You'd have to space the broken glass narrow enough to park in your spot though for convenience sake. Someone might figure it out...

 

[Permagrin]

^ Or you could use pieces of glass that wont puncture tires...

You could just outfit your car with a broom!

I started my job in shipping/stocking, and by halfway, I was so physically exhausted that I ended up just staring at the wall for many minutes. I want to vomit, and don't think I can go back. Today's workload wasn't even the max. If I can't even handle a simple min wage job, I should just kill myself. And I'm not kidding, I hate myself so much and I want to die.

Just watch your Taylor Swift videos and feel better tomorrow. Start working out and make it work.
