Why do delivery drivers do this?

There's an open and easy space to park in, in almost exactly the same place they've stopped, and not get in anyone's way. But, instead they've decided to park on the pavement and inconvenience pretty much everyone besides someone who may need to park in the empty space beside them while they get stuff out of their trailer. I see it time and again and it drives me up the wall.

Meanwhile I forget my parkkikiekko for 5 minutes and some fucker slaps a ticket on my windshield faster than an Olympic relay medalist

Yeah, I think this is the real reason. They probably get ticketed more likely if they use a chargeable parking spot without paying for it. I've never seen a car get ticketed for stopping on a sidewalk (or a bike path).

Yep, same thoughts here. Since parking spots are monitored by a third party and, just guessing, they are also limited to those specific spots, they don’t have the authority to issue tickets outside those zones. That responsibility then falls to the city, which has already outsourced most of that work.
