Is there a prize for guessing the right answer ? You park at his place ?
Nope. I park opposite his place in front of my own house next to the kerb.
A car can't pass through the road if two cars are parked parallel it's that narrow. Never seen this tossers car before and to be honest I'm sick of the wife bleating on about leaving our cars in the drive when it's mayhem come the weekend.
The shed can stay on the road parked legally in front of my house.
I left probably the geekyest note ever last year. I use an underground car park at work and opposite me one day was a stunning 993 RS I'd not seen before. It was mid winter and this thing was filthy - but in a brilliant way, streaks of salt and road grime all over it, black brake dust, the lot. I was admiring it for minutes when I noticed that his unidirectional tyres were on the wrong way - so I left a polite note advising him of this and my number. A few days later he texted me thanking me profusely and saying he'd get them sorted. I've not even admitted to my wife that I noticed someones tyres on back to front...

Very tempted to leave a note to the w
ker who has parked opposite my drive for 8 days. Car has not moved.
Have to do a 10 point turn to exit and enter my drive. Ridiculous. And here is me making sure my cars stay on my drive.
Well when said wker moves car. Guess where my shed will be parked?

I was parked up at Snetterton recently watching the British GT's and returned to find a hand written note saying
"I am a model and love the look of your car, I am looking to do a different type of shoot, maybe a steam punk.
Would you be interested in allowing me to do shoot with your car
I am based in Norwich
thank -you"
She left her name, mobile number and FB details.
yes I found her on FB, No I have not called her or made contact, but she seems genuine and I often wonder if I should to help her.

I notice people leaving a half a car length of a bay all the time. Really annoying in towns with limited parking. How can someone get out of their car and think, 'yeah, that's acceptable parking' total morons. I refuse to believe there was a smart car parked there every time heh.
I saw a enter a carpark then turn into one way going wrong way of course and then park between two imaginary lines that were painted in the middle of actual bays. I wanted to say something but couldn't be bothered to wait for him to get out of the car - he saw me looking at him from the moment he entered the car park so was either waiting for me to clear off or was struggling to unbuckle his seat belts. Either way an a class driving for sure.I park in a secure car park behind some flats near the office. The next space but one is occupied by an old Saab that is never parked within the lines. That was not the reason I left a note. I did that to ask him to get his tyre pressures checked because they looked dangerously low. A few days later, he'd added a thank you.
I have left a couple in the past few years.
1. Someone had parked in one of my staff members allocated parking space (residential area around the corner from our office, which we rented off the owner), so member of staff had left a polite note pointing out this was private parking and to move their pile of st car. Next day it was still there, so I went down decided to put a much firmer note on the car and decided to leave my (mostly) finished cup of coffee under the wipers as well.
About an hour later, my staff member took a call from what sounded like a guerilla making all kinds of threats to my (female) member of staff for leaving a coffee cup on his clapped out banger, not once offering any apology for parking in our space for 2 days. Fortunately we somehow managed to understand what number flat he lived in so taking none of this nonsense from King Kong's retarded cousin, I headed down to the flats to have a word. Quite a funny confrontation took place but the ape just couldn't understand how he was in the wrong and was just fixated with the coffee cup (I know I shouldn't have but at least it got him to move his car). No problems with him since.
2. The other occasion was a 'driver' who cut me up pretty badly and then pulled into an office car park, which I happen to cut through when walking to my office. So I parked up in my usual space about a minute away and wrote a (childish) note commenting on their non existent driving skills, which I may or may not have signed off calling them a-tard or suck like and then posting on their windscreen on my way through.

Advised reception but next day lights still on, I was there all week so left a note saying "I've got jump leads" and my mobile number.
I park on the road near a hospital for work, I understand that this must be annoying so I try to avoid parking outside people's houses or in "their" spot. Got a note on the screen saying "u dont one road". Which I suppose is true enough.

Any form of communication which is left under a windscreen wiper is generally the act of a total moron unless it is post collision details.
especially when spaces are difficult to find, and some "moron" decides to take two, as they do, or even three or four which is not uncommon these days.Vipers said:
Anyone who finds a note under their windscreen commenting on the parking abilities is probably a moran as well especially when spaces are difficult to find, and some "moron" decides to take two, as they do, or even three or four which is not uncommon these days.
Have to admit, I've been tempted to scribe "Why take only two parking spaces when three are available, you tit?" especially when spaces are difficult to find, and some "moron" decides to take two, as they do, or even three or four which is not uncommon these days.Someone did this with a Range Rover in Manchester Airport and left it for two weeks. When he came back, you couldn't see the RR for notes.

A 'friend' may have left a couple
"Pavements for pedestrians please"
Which had F*ck Off hand written underneath it the next day
Which was followed up with
"Pavement - a raised paved or asphalted path for pedestrians at the side of a road"
"Layby- an area at the side of a road where vehicles may pull off the road and stop"
Theres a perfectly good layby behind the Rav4 but it's not directly outside his house
C**tish behaviour of the highest order. The road looks wide enough to not even need to go on the pavement."Pavements for pedestrians please"

I had some waffle glue an A4 piece of paper in the middle of my windscreen saying "this area is residents parking only, do not park here again".
Thing was, I lived 3 doors up from the lay by and the reason I was parking in the bay on the road and not my allocated space was because the guy who put the note on my screen was having a party and all his friends had parked in the numbered bays allocated to the other houses.
I was always taught by my old man to not get mad, just get even. I got very even with every one of them
Not being an expert on glues (or insults, or possibly both) I'm wondering if this iswaffle glue an A4 piece of paper in the middle of my windscreen saying "this area is residents parking only, do not park here again".Thing was, I lived 3 doors up from the lay by and the reason I was parking in the bay on the road and not my allocated space was because the guy who put the note on my screen was having a party and all his friends had parked in the numbered bays allocated to the other houses.

a) a c**twaffle with some glue
b) a c**t with waffle glue, or
c) you, with some c**twaffle glue
option c made me giggle a lot.

"Pavement" is any paved surface. In fact, correctly used in the context of highways, "Pavement" is the running surface for the car. There is NO law against driving or parking on (the?) "pavement".
Footways, specifically, are for pedestrians.
If you're going to leave a note, don't make yourself look a fool by giving incorrect information.
