A woman has taken to social media to ask whether she’s in the wrong for leaving a note on a car parked in her neighbourhood as it was blocking the entire street
A woman sparked a debate after sticking a note on her neighbour’s car condemning her for blocking the street with her vehicle.
But rather than reading the note and moving the car, the neighbour confronted her – and blasted her for being ‘rude’.
Taking to Reddit, she said: “I’ve never spoken to my neighbours in the houses across the street from us, but I’ve seen them about plenty. Our house is in a circular dead-end street with them across the road. Parking around our houses is limited, but every weekend, guests and visitors tend to use our spaces rather than park on the street.
“Today, I was driving back from a few errands to find there were no spaces because a massive SUV parked across two. Feeling irritated this is a constant, I parked up on the street and went into my house to write the following note: ‘Please don’t double park. People who live here can’t park their cars’. I left it on their windshield and thought nothing of it.
“A few hours later, another neighbour of mine (the couple in the house directly next to me) knocks on my door to say the car has gone and we can park our cars. Suddenly from across the street, another woman comes storming over waving my note and screaming about how embarrassed she is.” She came to learn the SUV was owned by one of her neighbour’s family members visiting from America – and she was humiliated after reading it.
She added: “[She said the note was] ‘completely out of order’. Her daughter then joins the fray, also screaming about how she can’t believe a neighbour would do this and how I’ve intimidated her mother. She even threatened to call the police! My other neighbours jumped to my defence, saying they also couldn’t park outside their own home and the screaming continued.”
Making fun of her, the woman said “Apparently receiving a note is embarrassing but screaming and shouting in the street is totally fine…” While most users praised her for leaving the note, others condemned the driver for their reaction upon receiving it.
One user said: “I had neighbours who would repeatedly park in my driveway. When we confronted them the crazy woman got right up in my face yelling her head off. The cops did nothing. They kept doing it til we moved.”
Another user added: “They seem to be the type of people who think they are all that matters in the world and the rest of us are just NPCs (non-player characters) in the video game that is their lives. How dare you question the main characters?” A third user said: “I’m from America and double parking is a huge no-no. Your neighbours are turds.”
