This one gets thrown into Roadkill because of just how... idiotic it was.
When a band finishes playing and is ready to bring their equipment downstairs, and our loading zone is full for some reason (usually happens during one of my restroom breaks for some reason...), we have the band member sit in the lane with their hazard lights flashing while they load out. The whole point is that they can still get their stuff out of the bar, and the hazard lights will let anyone coming down the street in either direction know there's an obstacle. I even stand behind the truck/van/trailer/bus/whatever with a flashlight and let oncoming traffic know when it's safe to pass by.
What I'd like to know, though, is what possesses two bands, each with two trucks, to sit in one lane for half an hour. With their equipment already loaded in. And all of the members just standing on the sidewalk talking.
Seriously, they're old enough. I shouldn't have to go from "Alright, now please clear the street so traffic can pass through" to "Hey! Move your trucks!" to "Get the fuck out of the street!!!" in the space of two minutes. But what do I know?
