The sad thing is: you can pass shit on to others without being releated to them.
Better: leave a note so sorry for hitting their car, leave a number with most numerals illegible.
They will walk around it forever trying to see the damage.
well, how bad did you park?
I got a note like this once (minus the condom). When I had parked in the morning, there was an inch of snow on the ground so I could only park a reasonable distance from the person beside me. By afternoon, the snow had melted and the lines were visible. Sometimes people are just looking for a reason to be mad.
If it’s winter I’d stick it on with chewed bubblegum.
Free condom and I ruined a petty asshole’s day? Score!
I would never leave any clues like that which could be used to lead police to the person who cut their brake lines.
Cut all the letters from magazines?
Totally situation dependent. For someone slightly over the line in a parking lot, uncalled for. For someone blocking my driveway or in a hypothetical parking spot I pay money for, finding a free condom and not a tow notice is pretty polite.
Granted. What about completely taking two spots in a busy supermarket lot with some big ass POS ? Parking sideways in same using four ? (somewhere between, depending on the day, is my personal threshold for this).
You know this condom is safe to use and hasn’t been tampered with
Hmm, how do you get itching powder (or worse) into a condom?
No condom. I’d sub the “please don’t reproduce” with “I’m glad people like you don’t reproduce” or something like this. To add injury.
Maybe if my handwriting was that nice I would feel less embarrassed to leave petty insult letters
I get mine printed as business cards.
My roommate got one left on his windshield that was printed to look like a folded $50 bill on one side, and then said, “You park like an asshole,” when you flipped it over. To be fair to the person who left it, my roommate totally did park like an asshole that day, so I thought it was hilarious.
Oh that’s amazing!
This handwriting is nice ?
Yes? It’s quite nice.
You can tell that it’s nice handwriting because of the smiley face. /j
Yeah I like it
Things either get me mad enough that I lose my composure or not nearly enough for me to do anything. Bad parking I don’t care much but other things will push me into breaking shit, I just can’t think of anything right now. 🤷
I have left a sketched map to the disabled parks.
Its stupid and petty. By calling out an asshole this way you show yourself as also being an asshole. Resorting to passive aggressive name calling and insults from mild inconvenience is not a good look.
The reason why these assholes park this way is because no one calls them out.
This isn’t passive aggressive. Very much active insult.
I used to leave a flyer for a driving school that specialized in parking between two obvious parallel lines on asphalt.
Leaving a note and running away is passive. I see what you mean, but disagree.
Besides what Grumpy said (I agree with it): I think leaving a mildly rude written message was the best approach here, once you put yourself in the shoes of whoever wrote the message.
Odds are the car owner parked their car in a really obstructive way, making shit worse for everyone else. It got in your way, and it’ll most likely get in the way of other people too. So, what are you going to do?
- Nothing? You’re giving a free pass to some fucking
Enzo/ValentinaKaren, who’ll likely do this shit again, and again, and again, because they don’t fucking care about other people. - Wait until the car owner arrives, and tell them something? You don’t know the owner. It’s possible they simply say “oh, I see, sorry!”, but the risk of actual violence is non-zero, they might pick up a gun and shoot your brains out.
- Leave a polite message, like “please don’t park your car this way, it inconveniences other people”? Remember, there’s a big chance the car owner is a Karen, they don’t give a fuck about other people.
- Leave a message telling them to off themselves? Now you’re going too far; not even a Karen deserves that.
- something else? Feel free to point it out.
So you leave a mocking message. That makes the person feel bad about themself, and highlight people dislike them because of their actions. That’s exactly what the person who wrote the message did.
If the parking was obstructing something else you can report it to enforcement for towing/ticketing or the owners of the lot. If it was not obstructing something else then you are being ridiculous and trying to put people in their place. I read this reply as nothing but ego and lots of assumptions (shooting my brains out, wtf?)

Let’s say this was a public place. Now you need to go through all the bureaucracy to contact the relevant law enforcer. There’s a good chance they won’t fucking care, even if parking the car that way violates some law. Or alternatively there might be no law in place (even if there should be one), so there’s genuinely nothing you can do.
Now let’s say this was a privately owned place, like the parking lot of a supermarket. Do you genuinely think the owners care if their “esteemed customer” Karen’s car gets in the way of “some fucking cripples”? (Note: this sort of arsehole really, really likes to park their cars in spots for people with disabilities. Or often half of their car.)
In either case: congrats for wasting your time and solving jack shit!
And in both cases you’re relying on some higher up to do shit, when it’s actually more civil to tell the owner they’re doing shit wrong. As in, you know… leaving some message.
If it was not obstructing something else
i don’t reasonably expect someone to reach for pen and paper to leave a message in this case.
I read this reply as nothing but ego and lots of assumptions (shooting my brains out, wtf?)
If that’s the case you should at least try to develop basic reading comprehension.
I was clearly listing possible ways to handle this, and the possible outcomes. No, the odds the car owner is a violent piece of shit are not zero; waiting for them to say tête-à-tête “don’t do this, please” is not reasonable. And this is fucking obvious dammit.
I also genuinely think you don’t know what “ego” and “assumption” mean, otherwise you wouldn’t use either here. Just like you don’t know what “passive aggressivity” means.
- Nothing? You’re giving a free pass to some fucking
