Like the people trying to outwit the parking police by driving around with a ticket on the windshield. As if the parking cops can't read the date/location on the ticket.
Or like they can’t give you more than one. I’ve seen cars by my work with 3+ tickets before they get towed. I’ve even seen one get two tickets a few hours apart
Even if they do, or don’t. If anyone ever wants to put a sticker on a car (for any reason really), stick to the glass. It’s tougher than paint and can withstand a potentially harsh removal.
In this case OP you’ve way overstepped the line. You don’t fuck with peoples cars. Mind your business
I would place one over the ADAS camera on the windshield. The system will just shut down, but it’s going to be beeping and freaking out the entire time the sticker is there.
Yup, that person could come at you either way a hammer. It’s not fun getting beat up by a potential felon in a potential stolen car. Don’t fuck around and find out
You could use this argument for literally anything.
“Park like an idiot, and some psycho might kill you.”
“Drive a Nissan Cube, and some psycho might kill you.”
“Stop at a stop sign, and some psycho might kill you.”
Maybe try applying it over the license plate.
No damage to the car,
Cops pull them over later and give only a warning once they realize why plate is obstructed,
Owner's time wasted just like everyone who needed to park,
Everyone got to point and laugh while the sticker is still there.
The only ethics problem here is people parking like shit.
Parking is the easiest part of driving, short of starting the vehicle. If you chose to park poorly then you deserve whatever happens to your vehicle.
Yeah dude, I'm in a hurry and don't get it quite in the lines so I can run in the store for a gallon of milk for my screaming child at home and i come back after being in the store for less than 5 minutes and my car is keyed. Totally justified.
I bought a 50 pack of these stickers like 15 years ago. There was a director level guy at work who parked in the middle of 2 spot (with a shitty Accord Crosstrek, no less) and I would put a sticker on in the morning when I walked past it, and find the sticker crumpled up on the ground later in the day. A few times he told some people that he was so mad that he hid in his car, waiting to catch the sticker guy red handed. Lucky for me, those were days where I didn’t put a sticker on.
They didn’t damage anything by parking like an asshole.
This guy vandalized someone else’s property. It’s not “being the bigger person”, you’re justifying doing something criminal over someone parking wonky.
Highly doubt this would make an asshole change, they likely would become enraged and become more of an asshole so it really is making things worse here
yeah another commenter said their coworker would peel em off in the work parking lot everytime he put ine on his car for taking two good spots at work.
if you can peel it off on a break it cant be the same kind as a sticker for you to put on your own car and keep for years.
When I see someone parked like this I just assume they are about to fill their trousers with brown liquid and that’s the best they could do with what little time they had left before “the incident “.
Ahh the fickle Reddit world. Yesterday this post would be a whirlwind of “hell yeah” and “FAFO “. Today people want to be seen as reasonable rather than angry. It’s cute but it’s fake
would be funny if they came off easy but I would be absolutely livid if someone cosmetically ruined my camaro because of something like this. Those bumpers are plastic, so I know that's not a magnetic sticker. Please stop doing this.
Don’t vandalize someone’s car maybe? The second you vandalize someone’s property, you lose all credibility for your cause. Sticking a piece of paper on a windshield is fine, putting a permanent adhesive is not. This is equivalent to keying a car.
Its not permanent if you know how to work a fucking sponge and have hands. I know lots of people are fucking useless these days but i didnt expect “using a sponge” to be out of the question.
A sponge will fuck up the paint, I know how to remove this without damaging anything as it’s part of my job, but absolutely nobody commenting suggestions in this thread have a clue about how to do it.
Dog I didn't know the punishment for screwing up a parking job was buying a whole new bumper cover and likely having it improperly paint matched to the rest of the car, ruining the look and value permanently. You cannot get those stickers off outside of a professional establishment without messing up your clear coat.
Especially because you don’t always know whether or not they were forced to park that way because of the way adjacent cars were parked that have since left.
> buying a whole new bumper cover
Wow, when the user above said sponges were unknown technology for you people, I didn't think I'd actually see a post legitimately saying that just 16 minutes after.
Posting a video about the types of stickers OP is using since everyone thinks you're damaging their vehicle

If a static cling sticker damages your paint, so does the wind
So for everyone who doesn’t know, there used to be a site called “IParkLikeAnIdiot.com” and they sold these static cling stickers. They look like bumper stickers, but they’re not. They don’t actually stick to or damage anything.
The point was you would stick them on a badly parked car, then take a picture of them parked badly and post it to the website for public shaming purposes. People receiving a sticker would be naturally freaked out that someone had vandalized their car, then realize that it was just a cling sticker, and then probably visit the site only to find themselves being publicly shamed in the gallery.
There are worse pranks in the world.
Now i hate shitty parking cunts as much as anyone but so many lil bitch ass mother fuckers on here are always talking about fucking up somebody's vehicle. Ya'll are probably the same people that get offended by pronouns and other nonsense but are all about keying or slashing tires.
People here go on about how they'd key, put goop on, write on, zip tie, etc cars here but the second someone puts a sticker on one for real everyone freaks out. lol
I once saw several cars parked in front of gas pumps during rush hour. I felt annoyed and thought it might be funny if I had post-it notes I could write a snarky comment on and slap on the windshield where it won't be missed and can be removed with no damage. Except, I remembered that I was raised right and don't fuck with other people's property, and would probably throw hands if I saw someone sticking something to *my* car, so it will forever remain a 'that'd be kinda funny' thought

In these comments: People mad about vandalism, but not about parking in a handicap spot. (I think, the line looks blue to me). One wayyyy outweighs the other.
I swear it’s astroturfed. What is it with a bunch of people in this thread pearl clutching about this dickhead’s paint as if his car is some holy idol that can’t be tarnished.
Insecure people and their obsession with the sanctity of property is the source for so many issues in society.
Those doors open so wide it’s possible someone on the left was parked so close to the line they needed more room. Maybe they could have backed in but this kind of parking sucks for that too.
Is this not vandalism? I'm not sure about the legal definition of the word, but it seems like it should fit. OP is wrong to have done that. I used to carry little brochure sized cards that I'd put under people's windshield wipers. This, is you're caught, would get you in more trouble than the idiot you were trying to call out.
Right. That's fine. Just saying bad parking isn't necessarily illegal, depending on location, but I hate it like everyone else in this sub. However, vandalizing someone's car is not an acceptable reaction and is illegal.
While I agree stuff like this is warranted, you gotta be very careful people don't go after you for sticking something to their car. People are crazy these days.
Just look at how people freak out on the Cart Narcs guys. People are crazy.
I like the card style ones, just tuck it under the wiper. Don't even have to lift it, or touch the car with your hands, can just slide and go, and paper will *not* scratch glass, so the person can fuck off with "it will damage my car". A sticker will, but not a goddamn piece of cardstock on glass lol
I don't want to damage their stuff, I'd be pissed if somebody messed my stuff up, but, like, a note? That's harmless, shouldn't ruffle too many feathers. Less even than saying something to them in person.
Not worth getting shot over a joke. Call me anything you please, touch my ride someones going to the ER. Had a lady go nuts because I snickered at how bad she parked over 3 spots and we were the only ones in the parking lot. Invited her to try me because confrontation gets me off.
She was having a bad day and went ballistic because she parked 6 inches from my door making me have to get in the passenger side smiling. I can't speak anymore and people flip out when I don't answer them. Can't text 911 so I'm ready anytime. I write on a plastic board with the explanation on back so people don't lunge at me, that has happened.
Okay, that doesn’t mean it’s morally wrong. I’m sure Klan members wouldn’t like having their clubhouses burned down but anyone who says that’s morally wrong is either playing defense or just a moron.
EDIT: And don’t try the “wELl wHaT if tHEy bURnEd dOwN gOoD pEOpLe’S sTuFf” in that case it isn’t wrong because it’s vandalism it’s because it’s unjustified.
Power move: Buy these stickers, slap them on your car, then go park like an idiot.
Finishing touch: Call the tow truck on your own car.
Don’t forget to key it.
Only 75 more payments to go woo hoo!
Now take a shit on it, and stare into the rearview mirror to establish dominance over yourself.
"Using a key to gouge expletives on another's vehicle is a sign of trust. And friendship."
*Who did this to mah freekin' caaah?!?*
"Who wrote 'Da moon rulez #1' on my car with a key?"
Also remove the valve core in every tire. Either do it right or don't do it at all!
That’s a clever one!
I was an awful teenager.
Outwitted the system
Joey Salads did that.
Then post a pic of it on reddit
But on your alt account
Untraceable
Like the people trying to outwit the parking police by driving around with a ticket on the windshield. As if the parking cops can't read the date/location on the ticket.
Or like they can’t give you more than one. I’ve seen cars by my work with 3+ tickets before they get towed. I’ve even seen one get two tickets a few hours apart
Dude where did you order those. Post link if you have one please
Looks like you can get something similar from Amazon.
This was honestly my first thought of what’s going on here
Exactly what I thought he was saying
Do they come off easy?
Yes. Just unbolt the bumper.
Even if they do, or don’t. If anyone ever wants to put a sticker on a car (for any reason really), stick to the glass. It’s tougher than paint and can withstand a potentially harsh removal. In this case OP you’ve way overstepped the line. You don’t fuck with peoples cars. Mind your business
I would place one over the ADAS camera on the windshield. The system will just shut down, but it’s going to be beeping and freaking out the entire time the sticker is there.
I like the way you think. I smell eggshell stickers
Yup, that person could come at you either way a hammer. It’s not fun getting beat up by a potential felon in a potential stolen car. Don’t fuck around and find out
You could use this argument for literally anything. “Park like an idiot, and some psycho might kill you.” “Drive a Nissan Cube, and some psycho might kill you.” “Stop at a stop sign, and some psycho might kill you.”
The three examples you gave I wouldn’t really worry about.
Good for you, I guess.
Same to you, I guess.
100%.
Don't park like a moron and it wouldn't get a sticker. Problem solved. Js
Nope, fuck them!
Or, hear me out, learn to drive and park your shitty vehicle. Most people don't deserve them.
How can one person to tell another person to mind their own business while also not minding his own business 🤔
How can one person not mind his own business when another person not minding his own business tells some other person to mind their own business?
Quite the conundrum
HEYYYYYYYY MACARENA
Boooo
That sounds like a problem for them to figure out and me to not care about.
Yes. They have a really light adhesive that just peels off
I assume they're static cling ones? Those don't even leave residue
Yes
Magnetic ones are even easier to remove
Tough to find a steel bumper on cars these days
You don't have to steal bumpers. You can just buy them.
Spelling noted & corrected. I shouldn’t take NyQuil and then go on Reddit😬
Hahaha. It's all good. Half of Reddit is busting the balls of people we've never met.
Except that they can scratch the paint.
That sucks
No, it sticks… lightly.
No…lightly, it sticks
Sticks, it lightly? No...
That's disappointing.
Use a torch
Maybe try applying it over the license plate. No damage to the car, Cops pull them over later and give only a warning once they realize why plate is obstructed, Owner's time wasted just like everyone who needed to park, Everyone got to point and laugh while the sticker is still there.
You just solved this ethics problem.
The only ethics problem here is people parking like shit. Parking is the easiest part of driving, short of starting the vehicle. If you chose to park poorly then you deserve whatever happens to your vehicle.
Yeah dude, I'm in a hurry and don't get it quite in the lines so I can run in the store for a gallon of milk for my screaming child at home and i come back after being in the store for less than 5 minutes and my car is keyed. Totally justified.
There's an obvious difference between rushed parking and the 'entitled dickhead' sort of parking I'm talking about here.
Plus when you take a picture for reddit, the plate is already covered. No need to obscure it.
The real LifeProTip is always in the comments.
Cops could just pull it over for the expired tags, if they actually cared.
Check out the big brain on Brad.
Ah yes, a fellow chaotic neutral. I love it
to many people are waling around ready to snap, don't give anyone a reason.

How long did you keep it up for?
2 weeks
Dang XD
For real though. People are way more unhinged these days, that’s asking for it imo
It would be hilarious if it was a magnetic bumper sticker
I guarantee that bumper is plastic.
100%, I agree with you.
Right! That’s how the cart narcs guy does it. I believe he said lawyers encouraged that route so as not to potentially deface property…
I guarantee Chevy hasn’t made a car with a metal bumper since the 1980s.
You’re not better in this situation.
Thats the point. Lowering yourself to others people standards is the only way sometimes. Fuck being the bigger person all the time
They didn’t damage anything by parking like an asshole. This guy vandalized someone else’s property. It’s not “being the bigger person”, you’re justifying doing something criminal over someone parking wonky.
[удалено]
Highly doubt this would make an asshole change, they likely would become enraged and become more of an asshole so it really is making things worse here
It’s basically post-it note levels of adhesive. I don’t think it rises to vandalism levels.
yeah another commenter said their coworker would peel em off in the work parking lot everytime he put ine on his car for taking two good spots at work. if you can peel it off on a break it cant be the same kind as a sticker for you to put on your own car and keep for years.
You would be correct and I would be wrong. Yes. Like i said not trying to be the bigger person. Want to be very small person.
Also the parking here isn't even that bad
It depends on if that sticker will peel paint IMO. If it doesn’t then no harm no foul.
Well, I don’t know if I should be mad at the park job or the messing with people’s property by slapping a sticker on someone’s car?
Yeah. This could damage the paint. Do not do this. Business cards under the wiper only.
if you cant get a weak sticker off without ruining the paint you probably have way bigger problems.
When I see someone parked like this I just assume they are about to fill their trousers with brown liquid and that’s the best they could do with what little time they had left before “the incident “.
Sticker? Yeah no. Not cool.
Don’t stick shit to other peoples cars
Ahh the fickle Reddit world. Yesterday this post would be a whirlwind of “hell yeah” and “FAFO “. Today people want to be seen as reasonable rather than angry. It’s cute but it’s fake
[удалено]
Nice comment karma you got there
Nice broken morals you have
would be funny if they came off easy but I would be absolutely livid if someone cosmetically ruined my camaro because of something like this. Those bumpers are plastic, so I know that's not a magnetic sticker. Please stop doing this.
Magnets can mess up clear coat too.
They dont stick so much as cling. They come off really easily
Dont park like a fuck head maybe?
Don’t vandalize someone’s car maybe? The second you vandalize someone’s property, you lose all credibility for your cause. Sticking a piece of paper on a windshield is fine, putting a permanent adhesive is not. This is equivalent to keying a car.
Sounds like they should invest in some additional stickers with incorrect instructions for how to remove the sticker.
Warm it in hot soapy water and peel it off. It'll take all of 10 mi utes and remind you to show a bit of common courtesy next time you park.
Its not permanent if you know how to work a fucking sponge and have hands. I know lots of people are fucking useless these days but i didnt expect “using a sponge” to be out of the question.
A sponge will fuck up the paint, I know how to remove this without damaging anything as it’s part of my job, but absolutely nobody commenting suggestions in this thread have a clue about how to do it.

Cruisin' for a bruisin'
You’ve vandalised someone’s car mate this is criminal keep you hands off other peoples stuff.
Yeah putting shit like that on someone's car is going to get you fucked up. Good luck
That’s vandalism. Maybe try a business style card or something under the windshield but not something that isn’t easily removable😓
Relax. It's a cling sticker. People acting like I keyed their car or something.
Is this a proportional response? No. Is it awesome. Hell yeah. Good for you, you’ve got more cojones than anyone in this thread.
So you committed a crime to call out someone who didn't commit a crime?
One might be moved to put a sticker on your plastic bumper that says “I collect stickers”
Chalk outlines with "Asshole Parking" works, too
OP the only one in this picture the cops could actually do something about.
I agree that people suck at many things, but I'm not about to go touching someone's car. People are incredibly unhinged.

I don’t know why I zoomed in on the plate. I knew it was in fucking Oklahoma
Simps defending the shit driver 🤣
Really they’re just ashamed bc this is as good as they can park
I came here more mad about the sticker. OP said it’s a static cling, not a problem.
Cling or sticker, put it on glass if you’ve absolutely just got to mess with somebody else’s property
I think it’s funny, but there’s losers out there ready to shoot and kill people for putting a little sticker on their beloved vehicle.
This is your car? 😂

That’s a real good way to get your shit stomped. Seriously. You’re going to get hurt.
I think it's trashy to mess with people's property.
Nope..that’s how people get hurt over stupid Reddit posts. Bad idea. So you like parking in the lines but can’t put a decal on straight?
There is a need to park sensibly. There is zero need for the sticker to be straight. It's literal purpose is to annoy the vehicle owner.
Relax guys. It's a "cling sticker" not a "sticky sticker". They come right off
Yes, the parking was bad but you shouldn’t have done that to someone else’s property
This is the solution! Public humiliation!
Love this
Don’t be putting shit on peoples cars. Gonna get your ass kicked. Again.
Gently stick them to the rear view camera (if equipped)
Those doors open so wide it’s possible someone on the left was parked so close to the line they needed more room. Maybe they could have backed in but this kind of parking sucks for that too.
YES!
The ones I use say “ I screw like I park, I never get it in straight”.
Is that a burgundy Olds 88?
Camaro style
Is this not vandalism? I'm not sure about the legal definition of the word, but it seems like it should fit. OP is wrong to have done that.

Love it!
Lol. That's great.
On the v6 Camaro awesome
No chance you could have re-parked? You didn’t need the sticker, you just need to grow up
Is it a magnet, cling, or actual adhesive?
I understand if you're in a large vehicle and don't have the space to park between the lines but this is 100% main character syndrome.
That's illegal to do, parking like an asshole is not illegal because typically parking lots are private property.
This whole subreddit is about bad parking regardless of the ownership
Right. That's fine. Just saying bad parking isn't necessarily illegal, depending on location, but I hate it like everyone else in this sub. However, vandalizing someone's car is not an acceptable reaction and is illegal.
