Notes attached to car windscreens
Discussion
I have a friend who's young and looks generally able bodied on a good day but has Ehlers Danlos Syndrome so is limited in her ability to move around. She parked in a disabled bay outside a shop, displayed her blue badge but still came back to a note on her windscreen calling her a selfish young woman for preventing a disabled person using the parking space.
The car park doctors are actually quite a common thing as they judge on sight who should and shouldn't be using a blue badge to park in disabled bays.

Probably not helped by the fact the badge and bay display someone in a wheelchair.The car park doctors are actually quite a common thing as they judge on sight who should and shouldn't be using a blue badge to park in disabled bays.

Very much this, sadly to a lot of people if you are not in a wheelchair you are not disabled. My younger brother has autism and doesn't qualify for a blue badge so ironically we used to park miles away from anyone in case he had a clumsy moment or random outburst. Anyhow, when it comes to notes I once returned to my car having left it parked for a couple of days to find that I'd upset someone who thinks they own the road near their property. They'd put a A4 size sticky document wallet with a pathetic note onto my windscreen which had subsequently frozen solid. What really narked me off was that I could only peel it off in tiny strips

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.
I once found a note on my windscreen warning me my front number plate had fallen off. I'm not sure why the old lady who left it didn't just pick up the number plate and place it on my driveway where I could see it but I was grateful to her nonetheless for letting me know. CS Garth said:

What if the note is to tell a moron they should stop parking on clearly marked private property? Our office shares 8 spaces with 2 other businesses. We have 4 marked spaces (which is nowhere near enough for our staff group, so we have a rota) and often we get chancers who think that they can just park in our spaces, often obnoxiously and sometimes even damaging cars nearby. I think a note is the least they could expect.

We share our work parking area with residents of nearby flats, plus there are shops too, one part of our parking area is 2 rows of 2 in a block of four spaces so 2 cars will block in the 2 cars behind them, occasionally one of the 2 spaces at the front will be empty so some idiot will just park in that space blocking in the car behind and in some instances dissappear of the best part of the day, I have left notes politely asking that they don't park there and in some instances have had to get the police involved.
These notes are on company head paper and neatly typed out, it's amazing how many of the offenders; instead of coming in to applolgise, come over and kick off.
Well there's being pissed and being pissed enough that she actually took a dump on your windscreen.
Nice that she left you a note letting you know of her 'movements'

I've only had one.
I was a student and parked in the Uni car park, I came back to my Starion to find an A3 "note" under my wiper
"Hey Sexy You've Got Bird s
t On Your Windscreen"
I presume someone was pissed.
