  1. Yes. And also crash chaser/hugger. Who else has almost got into an accident bc of an crash chaser/hugger

  2. I asked around & found a lot of the anger towards “Corner Huggers” is the lack of knowing why. When we get stopped in traffic on a highway isn’t the first question always, “What’s going on up ahead?”
    So I did a Mitzvah & made colorful signs to put on my dashboard. Now when I hug a corner I let people know why. I have “Mincha” “Tsedaka” “Chesed” “Bikur Cholim” “Shiva call” “Daf Yomi” “Bris” etc.
    I told my Ruv & he was very impressed (& he’s not easy to impress) with what I have done.
    He told me, “I’ve never met a Yid as sensitive to “Bein Adam Lichavaro” as you are.”
    I’m sharing this not to brag or think I’m better than anyone else. My hope is people will read this & Yidden in Lakewood & other Torah communities will follow my lead.

    • Unfortunately you missed his point. He was just being nice to you. Nobody cares that you have mincha so therefore felt the right to block someone’s walkway or driving path etc… I guess you’d say you can also park smack in middle of an intersection if it means your gonna make a minyan. NO!!!! It’s a chillul hashem and your stupid window sign makes it worse! Don’t blame ypu lack of respecting laws and other people’s rights on hashem c”v!

    • Don’t worry, nobody thought you were bragging. You sound like some 1st grader trying to kiss up to rebbi. Maybe ask him how to give maser on salt next? Maybe he’ll say “I’ve never met a yid as sensitive to shtusim as you are”. Either way Maybe you should print these signs and hand them out in shul litoeles harabim I’m sure we’d all want them so we can go through reds and blow stop signs etc.. also just curious, when some kid gets hit cuz a driver couldn’t c them in the crosswalk you were blocking who’s at fault? I assume your silly yellow tsedaka sign paturs you.. so whos next up? Your rav for saying what a genius idea this is? חונן הדעת, not sure what happened to you

  3. When someone gets Chas vesholom hurt or worse because you’re just too selfish doing a mitzvah, it’s not a mitzvah .
    Tell your rov he’s due for a head examination

  4. Please keep aggressively ticketing these corner huggers. Even without an accident chas vesholom, it is a nuisance trying to make a safe turn with these huggers selfishly parking on the corners.
    People who break the law and put others in danger should pay the price!

  5. @LG @Seichel
    You know Not Asinine is a satire commenter, no?
    Along with Asinine Commenter who seems to be almost the same person.

  6. @Not Asinine, I think you need to change your name back to @Asinine. Too many gullible people here believe you’re actually not asinine.

  7. I remember when we lived in Lakewood and had a little accident on corner of forest by satmar because of a hugger, R Forscheimer shlita (I am pretty sure was he) told us that we weren’t mechuyav anything to the corner hugger as he was parked illegally…
