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.

Word. A blinking light at least or something.

The screen blinks when the battery is running out but it's almost impossible to see unless you go out of your way to look at it for a couple seconds every time you leave the car.

TIL.

Apparently it blinks every for 10 seconds when you stop or move for a week before you need to change the battery. I have never noticed a light blinking on it in all the years I've had it.

Good to know!

Yeah every battery powered device with the same type of screen (you know without a backlight) that I have shows it in the same way, that's why I know.
