Accidents, parking on pavement
I was walking into town and I noticed a big white van parked half on the pavement. I stood for a moment - there were two men inside having a sandwich. Very considerate of them - having lunch while obstructing the pavement.

Some people out there are just so inconsiderate. Parking on a pavement not only obstructs the path for pedestrians, but there is a very real danger of someone being hit and possibly injured - had quite a scare recently myself!
