‘Your car will be keyed’ people say of man’s passive aggressive note for neighbour’s bad parking – but who’s right?

A MAN who was fed up with his neighbour’s parking has revealed the passive aggressive note he left on the car.

Taking to Reddit, he showed how he drew a diagram showing how the neighbour should be using the parking space – but his angry message has split opinion online.

The drawing showed how two cars could easily fit in the spot, and he added an expletive and a message on the end which said: “I know it is bold of me to assume you are literate.”;

Explaining the message – which he described as cathartic – the man wrote: “At least once a week, some absolute Einstein decides to double park right outside my house.

“Not usually a problem, as I will usually be able to find a park down the road somewhere. “Sometimes I cannot find a park anywhere near me, and have to drive around the block a few times until someone leaves.

“What makes this so infuriating is the number of people that choose to double park right outside my house.

“It is public parking, and I have no more legal right to park there than anyone else, but it drives me up the f***ing wall.”;

He asked people if he was overreacting, and people didn’t hold back with their reaction to his bold note.

One person said: “This note would enrage me and I would probably park like a d*** out of spite.”;

Another added: “How to turn a parking nuisance into a bitter campaign of car keying and bricks through windows.”;

And a third commented: “You sound like an a**hole and the tone of the note is counterproductive.

“They will continue to park not to your liking because you are a douche.”;

However, some people didn’t think there was anything wrong with the diagram or sentiment.

one said: “Ain't nothing wrong with a solid note.”;

A second offered up: “Get them towed – job done.”;

Anyone can park in a public road space, even if it's directly outside your house, as long as they aren't breaking the Highway Code.

However, if you have residential parking then you are entitled to park outside your home, so long as a space is available.

Disabled motorists can claim a parking space by contacting their local council and request that a disabled bay be marked out to deter other drivers from taking their designated parking space.

To be eligible, the driver must be a Blue Badge holder.

The Metropolitan police website states: “If a parking space is available on a public road, even if it’s directly outside your house, anyone is allowed to park in it.

“We appreciate this can be frustrating, especially if spaces are hard to come by on your street.”
