Some idiot parked about an inch from my bumper, now I'm good but not THAT good, so I left him a note simply saying "next time leave a can opener". He saw me the next day and had a moan about how I didn't leave a note on "the car that was the other side"  Explained that it was my partners car and we park that way so idiots like him have more room to park. | At least you're professional when it comes to those type of situations. I don't have to deal with that kind of parking where I live unless I drive over into the city of Long Beach. Due to that fact and the kind of people who live there, I never really go there often. Beside that, there's nothing much to do there. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | Im with you, where we live we have a nightmare with parking!!
We have aN old Honda Civic in our car park whose alarm goes off every ten mintues all through the night. No one can work out whose it is so i put a note on it saying
"Please show some consideration to the other people who live here. You car alarm keeps going off all through the night and is causing a disturbance"
They kindly moved their car and got their alarm sorted. unfortunatley because nobody knew who the owner a note was the only option. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | i don't leave notes because all it will achieve is annoying the person. i doubt it would change their parking habits.
i remember a friend of mine was sitting in her car and this girl tried to park infront of her. she smacked into my friends car not once but TWICE, realised my friend was IN the car, looked horrified, and drove off quickly before my friend could do anything. so rude man lol. |

''Little backwards or a little forward,enough space for three cars''
I'm positive that his person has like a stack of these same notes and is constantly placing them on my car!
I'm not giving up this parking space...I want to find out who this person is!  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Parking is horrendous where i live, even though its a culdesac! We dont have drives so basically we all just park outside our homes. But the old witch next door (we don't get on at all, she constantly moans) has loads of visitors and if theres not a space they will just park in the middle of the road and block everyone in and then you have to go and ask them to move. I did this once to get my own back and they just sat there with there hand on the horn until i came out!!! or another time they kept me waiting for like 15 mins before they came out to move there car, so i did this to them to get my own back, and she started a brawling match in the street, can't win with them!! I have had my kerb lowered by the council and am going to put a drive on, but somehow i think they will still park in front of my house all the time. I know if theres a car in the drive its illegal to block them in though. |
