In an apparent response to a previous note left on their windscreen, the driver left a message claiming the car had been damaged and the repairs had cost hundreds of pounds to fix, saying the should be allowed the extra room to park.
The note said: “The reason I park in 2 spaces is because someone hit my car and drove off costing me £500 to get it repaired.
“So do not leave a note on my window. How would you like it done to you.!!!!!”
A photo of the message was posted onto Reddit by an anonymous user, which quickly drew attention from other users of the social media site.
The author of the post wrote: “Note on the dash did not disappoint.”
The post quickly gained more than 300 replies and a lively debate broke out about who was right.
Although a few appeared to side with the driver, most commentators slammed the parking and mocked the note.
One person wrote: “If it’s ok for one, it’s ok for all, then the number of spaces is halved… Sure they wouldn’t be happy about that.”
Another joked: “No you don’t understand, it’s only ok if you’ve been crashed into in the past.”
A third person added: “I’d be especially inclined to leave a note. Putting it next to their note so it’s obvious I knew…”
While someone else chipped in with: “Maybe if you parked better, people wouldn’t hit your car.”
A fifth said: “Idiot thinks one instance of bad luck now entitles them to two spaces.”
Another post said: “I didn’t really understand the note until I read the fifth exclamation mark. Three, even four wouldn’t have been clear enough. The fifth one completes it.”
