Have you ever left an insulting note...?

Question

...tucked under the winscreen wiper of someone who has parked across two spaces? If so, what did you write?

I hate inconsiderate people who do this (they usually drive something fast and expensive) and am very often tempted. A lot of the time, they drive into the space rather than reverse into it, so they really should do better.

Answer 1

Next time leave a tin opener and I will manage the rest.

Answer 2

Yes, but I have only left notes on cars that weren't supposed to be parked in the handicapped spaces, this just bothers me so much that people are so lazy to walk so they will take the spot of the handicapped person, I can't remember exactly what I wrote,but it made me feel better.

Answer 3

I had to leave a note on my next door neighbours friends car at the weekend that blocked my drive so I couldn't get out. I was REALLY ANNOYED as they were there TWO HOURS at a very strange angle. I left a note saying "excuse me, don't think I'm being funny but can you please not block my drive, thanks". It was a convertible so I left the note on the drivers seat. I saw them get back into the car and screw up the note with a look of disgust of their face and they wheel spun off - sad or what! I warned my husband I might have started a war with the neighbours but as I've done nothing wrong they shouldn't be any comeback!

Once I lived in a poor and unsecured country, in a midle class residence where our cars parked inside a protective fence. I and almost others turned the car's alarm off at night but 1 neighbor did not, and his car peeped almost every night just outside of my bedroom window, every time a veihcles passed by on the street making an air flow. I wrote him several polite notes, he did not change his mind, and 1 day he moved to a higher protected residence, of course he had to pay more for rent, while he drove a classic inexpensive car, and we were still all safe out there without more complication...
A new neighbor moved in, also kept her car's alarm on all night, and it peeped almost everynight just because some veihcles passed by on the street. I wrote her several kind notes, talked to her in person, but nothing had changed. One early morning the car peeped, it woke me up, so I went to get few eggs from the kitchen and threw on her car. From that evening the alarm were off, and no car had been ever stolen...

Moral lesson: if each person thinks of himself only, there's only 1 head that thinks about him. If each one thinks of everyone, there will be many heads that think about each person. Of course many heads would think better than one head does.

And seltfishness never brings true benefits.

Answer 5

yes a neighbour of mine used to do it frequently til i rather forcefully suggested that if she needed a hand parking between the lines just knock on my door and i would be happy to oblige. I left similar notes on two more occasions and she got the message. She even gives me a big hello nowadays!

Answer 6

No I haven't but we did see a traffic warden put a ticket on a flashy car the other day for taking up two parking spaces, his reason, one car, one space, one car, two spaces ticket, good for him I say and its the first time I have had to admire a traffic warden too.

Answer 7

Yes I have stating to have respect of parking in a disabled space, people have no respect for the disabled nor the elderly.

Answer 8

Only once when the other person thought I was parked too close. It is so childish...oh I found it No I didnt write it..

Answer 9

Hate to sound like a do-gooder but if you leave them an insulting note you are proving yourself to be just as unsociable as them.

Just leave it, forget about it and get on with your life.

Answer 10
