So a few
weeks ago after a long day at work some unpleasant person left this on my car.
I work in a
town center where no long stay (more than 3 hours) parking is provided due to
my workplace being a small business and the town being a busy market town
especially on Saturdays. As a result I park on a side road which is part of the
PUBLIC HIGHWAY!! This means as a taxpaying road user I am entitled to park
wherever the darn well I please (providing there is no restrictions, double
yellow lines, dropped curb etc.) Out of courtesy I did not park blocking
anybody’s drive way and I made sure I was parked tight enough to the curb so
that it wasn’t difficult for drivers passing by.
So what is
this person’s problem?
The thing
is I do not know, I can only assume that I had taken their unofficial parking
space they were pretty darn salty about it. But, I would like to draw to your
attention that this person was so concerned about my choice of parking
destination that they one, parked so they were touching my front of my car and
two was that they were cowardly enough
to note leave a phone number or an
address on their note just in case I needed
to contact them to sort out my concerns.
So Ladies
and Gentleman my message is this, if you ever feel compelled to leave such a
note on someone’s car please consider if the person you’re harassing has done
anything wrong is they eyes of the law (I had not) and please consider the
effect that you may be having on the person you are leaving it to. IT IS NOT
OKAY TO THREATEN PEOPLE!! I felt slightly shaken by this whole experience.
Finally in
answer to the question: ‘why not just park at Lidl?’ I work a 7 hour day on a
Saturday and Lidl (a local supermarket a few streets away) only allows 2 maybe
3 hours free parking for THEIR customers or else they enforce a fine.
I know that
the person who left this note will probably never see this and I will hopefully
never meet them but I would like express that their act was an act of
cowardness you insolent human being!
Always ,
Lauren
