To think you shouldn’t leave notes on cars when you don’t know the full story!?

This is awful! www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh-news/edinburgh-mum-shock-after-stranger-19127878

I now take a Post It pad with me when I go out of my mobility scooter. This also applies to wheelchair users. The note is attached to the windscreen of cars belonging to selfish arseholes who park across dropped part of pavement to cross the road. The message says:

"You have parked across the dropped pavement which means that mobility scooters and wheelchairs cannot cross the road. They have to turn round, find a dropped kerb to the opposite side of the road and then find another to cross back again.

We would appreciate you not parking here again. However, if I do see your car here again, I will be sticking the note to your windscreen with superglue.

Have a nice day."

I've not had to carry out my threat re the last paragraph and probably wouldn't but they don't know that.

I always wonder if these threads are the reporters trying to boost web traffic or the ‘fuming’ people involved.

Also people get so angry about parent and child bays, it’s hilarious. They’re a luxury not a right. It’s only disabled bays that I believe should be protected.

I used to park in them (parent and child) when I took my mum out. Now I have a child, I tend to park as far away from the store as possible and walk. Because I have legs. And because pushing a pushchair doesn’t make me special.

Edinburgh mums are all twats.

just kidding.

If a person parks on private property and there is a sign that says 'fines apply' is it actually legal to fine people

(I am not asking morally whether it is ok to park incorrectly or not but actually legally)

Sorry, I accept there are some situations where leaving a note is fine - if you're actually needing someone to reply, that's fair. But if you don't expect a reply but just want to be randomly snotty, that's what's dickish.

I've left notes before not because I expect a reply but simply because I'm pissed off and I want the person to know that they're an arse. If you block my drive and make me late for work or my child late for school because you can't be bothered to walk another 2 minutes to your own child's school why shouldn't you expect a snotty note?
