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.
Someone leaves his car parked at a pump while he sits in Subway having a scoff, as cars queue up for petrol behind him.Someone leaves a note on his screen advising him he is an inconsiderate tit.
Who is the moron?
Ask yourself this: have you ever seen a Chuck Norris film where he writes an incandescent note? Think: what would Norris do.
Pfffff! Never mind.
I had this left on my car earlier in the year. It was thoughtfully parked within a couple of inches front and side (at the end of our building against an L shaped wall) in my own car parking spot that costs a couple of grand a year.
The no parking sign has my business name and so do my number plates.
Admittedly when the top row of cars park badly it can make it difficult to get through if you have the spatial awareness of a blind octogenarian but it was my assigned car park and an only slightly bigger than average car Passat wagon.
I was quite perplexed and angry but then had a laugh.
I left a reply on the wall but no one came to discuss

Yep, I have left notes on windscreens in the past.
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.

Around 20 years ago I returned to my car one lunchtime, it was parked on the roof of the multi storey which I used everyday for work. There was a note on the windscreen that said.
"Seen you around and like what I see. Call me. The Black Magic Man" and then a phone number.
At first I thought it might be work colleagues messing around, but tbh I was fairly new into the job and none of them seemed the type to pull such a prank.
When I left work that night it was dark and I was very anxious I might bump into the Black Magic Man walking up the 10 flights of stairs back to the car.
I never did see him and being 100% hetro never called the number either.

People are morons, you would be amazed at the abuse I have received, asking people sat in their car to move on from parking in our clearly marked customer parking bays, usually across 3 of them.
Had a handwritten 'Police Aware' note left on my car once when I visited a friend for a week. Turned out to be from one of these typical lunatic neighbours believing they own the road outside their house.
The police must love these sort of calls 'Hi, there is a taxed, insured, motd and legally parked car outside my house'

I'd be too scared of being poisoned.
I'm guilty of leaving a note on a windscreen of a car that blocked access to my garden - I was going out and didn't want them to park there (again), but wasn't going to sit about waiting for them to turn up so I could speak to them face-to-face. Should I have followed them home and hammered sausages into their lawn?

There is a little beach I know, it's down a farm track and at the bottom of the track there are a couple of houses and a car park. I had gone down there with my wife and the dogs for a walk about 4 years ago and when we got back to the car there were two notes on the screen. If I remember correctly, they were both typed out.
The first said that we were not welcome there, we had driven down a bridle way and were being reported to the police under section something or other.
The other said something like 'Ignore the crazy cow next door, she's got no idea what she's on about, carry on enjoying the beach'.
There are no signs indicating that it is a bridleway. I don't go there often, but I have never had notes put on my car there before. I have an image in my mind of the woman coming out and putting the first note on, then her and the other person scowling at each other in the car pack as they pass.

On a happier note - parked my Scirocco at Virginia Water and returned to find this on the windscreen. Slightly cringy but very much enjoyed the Haribo on the drive home. How dare they spread such positivity!
There's a small tracking device inside that Haribo. You're on both the CIA and Kremlin list now. 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

My garage opens onto the side street at the bottom of our garden. One Sunday, I went out to the car to find a car parked across my garage. There is a solid white line in front of the dropped kerb. I didn't recognise the car as one of the neighbours', so I left a note asking the driver not to park across my garage again or next time I would call the police. I took the Polo out instead (it was parked in the street).
I came back to find the car gone and a note on the garage door.

fk off, posh bd. The police wouldn't give a st, because it's not illegal to block someone's garage. I'll park here whenever I like.
