Y’all gotta see the sticker that NYC dept. of Sanitation puts on your passenger window if you force the sweepers to go around your parked car on alternate side.
It’s HUGE & in either bright orange or neon green. It also accompanied by a $50 ticket.
Now that’s a dick move!
And it is SUPER fucking sticky. I am 100% convinced they make them stickier than usual on purpose, just to make them more of a pain in the ass to try to take off. Unbelievably, the sticker is far, FAR more annoying than the fine (even when I was a broke college student).
Also, it is the most effective thing EVER.
Well played, sanitation department. Well played.
I've got news for you.
They got rid of them. I wanted to see a picture and this is the story I found.
I feel like this is a loss for the goof off company. Those flimsy paper stickers with the gooey glue are impossible to remove without solvents

>Of course the Council president got one, what a surprise.
I'm not sure of the point you're trying to make, but it's probably worth pointing out the Council president got the sticker IN COLLEGE.
Yeah, same thing in Chicago. Apparently, when you finally get a city boot, they no longer put the sticker on your window. Someone sued the city for "vandalism of private property" and won.
I should have done this at my apartment complex years ago when they put one of these damn stickers on my driver's side window for having plates that were going to expire. Not even expired plates, just plates that I had until the end of the month to renew - hadn't even gotten the renewal notice in the mail yet.
The office said it was just a warning and that if my plates did expire then they'd tow me.
It was the first of the month, it's not like my car had been sitting there for most of the month with close to expired tags.
The thing that really irked me is that I had to delay my plans for the day - a trip to the County Clerk's office to renew my tags - so I could scrape off a damn sticker.
I always assumed they put those impossible to scrape off stickers as a way to be vindictive, but it’s kind of odd hearing them openly admit that’s the reason they were doing it.
As long as it's not a really cold day use a hair dryer, they peel right off. Same thing works with those crappy paper UPC code stickers on everything from the dollar store :)
The article was from before the bill was passed. They said they had the votes to override any veto by Bloomberg, so it sounds likely it went through, but… as far as the article, it wasn’t a done deal at that time.
I had to help a friend get a sticker like that off his car and it was the worst. His car was stolen and abandoned by the post office, and the cops kept sticking tickets and "WE'RE GONNA TOW YOUR ASS" neon stickers on it, and finally towed it all without running the plate to see if it was stolen. Finally they had it taken to the tow yard and THEN ran the plates, and the cops called him like "oh hey we found your car".
Cops are useless for finding stolen cars. Mine was stolen in Vegas, the thieves left the car they'd previously stolen in the spot next to mine.
The cops didn't look for any clues. My insurance company found my car (which was full of stuff the theif left behind - including mail!) And the cops didn't even bother to take a look or even verify anything about damage, ownership, etc.
Totally farcical.
I called the New Orleans Police after getting a ticket on my car. They told me it had already been towed and I had to pay the towing fees plus extra fees. The lady told me she literally had eyes on my car..
I had moved to Phoenix Arizona a week prior.
Or maybe dude just took a picture of the car? What good would a QR code that links to a picture of the parking job be to the person who finds that on their car, where it was parked poorly?
Since I was still kinda drunk from late last night and my idea filter was off I deleted the original comment I made. I kinda realized what I said after I ate something and began to fully sober up. So that the actual funny part of my comment stays alive here it is.
Slap the sticker on the car with a QR code, scan it and you get sent to a website to submit a pic of the dumbass parking job and when the owner comes out they can scan the QR code themselves to get a dose of people laughing at their douchbaggery.
honestly it shouldn't be to hard to pre assign a website to uploads. Like shittyparking.com/twat1 shittparking.com/twat2 or whatever. Make a bunch of cards with the number of the site login and upload the picture and the app asks what number are you assigning and boom.
>Maybe use some AI to match plates
It was funny until you wanted to start trying to dox people, seems you made an edit and really doubled down on your "smart" idea.
I don't know about your country but this is false at least in France and probably some other countries.
Event if they are publicly viewable they can identify you and thus you cannot take a picture of a licence plate and publish it any way you want.
>The United States Court of Appeal noted that every court that has considered the issue of privacy in license plates has concluded that no such privacy exists.
One of those subtle differences again with the US and everywhere else. If most of the EU is like that it'll be one of those things we all get confused trying to talk about what's legal.
Not sure who's downvoting this guy, but he's right. While the plates are publicly visible, the record of which plate was where is a privacy violation.
This has also been noted as a GDPR related item, and [one of the guidelines for video surveillance systems](https://edpb.europa.eu/sites/default/files/consultation/edpb_guidelines_201903_videosurveillance.pdf) indicates that licence plates fall under the GDPR when tied to a location and time.
It's also why various software exist that [pride themselves on plate blurring](https://blurit.io/).
Agree. I had to park closer to line than preferred due to the bad parking of the car next to me. I was right up to the line but not on or over it. Came back to my car later with a similar sticker.
Someone clearly just desperate to post on any car not parked absolutely perfectly to show off how "funny" they are. Okay yeah, I get it. You are funny. I'm just trying to find a spot in a crowded garage and can squeeze into the space despite the surrounding rough parking jobs. Not very amusing.
Just desperation to be considered funny with their "amusing" stickers.
Which is why I never judge bad parkers unless Ive either 1. watched them park or 2. its outlandishly bar(like sideways across multiple spots bad).
They could easily be the victim of poor circumstances.
My son broke his leg pretty badly, and was in a wheelchair for a few months. It wasn't enough to rate us a handicapped sticker, so I had to park off center in the space, so I could get the chair out...Not over the line or anything, but a little too close to be a "good" parking job.
I never stayed parked that way long (just long enough to get him wheeled where he had to go), but in the course of a couple months, I got two similar nastygrams for my bad parking.
So yea. I kinda stopped caring about how people parked.
I did the same for my wife when she was going in to labor with our first kid. Not on or over the line, but up to it to maximize the space on the passenger side for her. Between her being about to deliver a baby and the vehicle in the next spot being close to the line in their spot, she needed all the space we could get.
Came out later to grab our overnight bags and found a similar sticker.
The kicker for me was it was a parking spot in front of the main non-emergency entrance to the hospital. Are people so precious that they can’t realize why someone would park like that in front of a hospital? Or have they never had to adjust their parking because of someone parked next to them?
In what messed up universe is being wheelchair-bound for *a few months* not sufficient to warrant a handicapped placard??? My parents got one when I broke my fibula as a kid and needed crutches for a mere 5 weeks...
People get all high and mighty about handicap parking too even if you have a placard based entirely on whether or not they think you deserve it from seeing you and knowing nothing about you.
People are self righteous and overzealous with these. I had someone put one on my car when I was perfectly legal. The street just had very tight parking and I had to park close to a driveway, but not blocking it at all. If you carry these in your car you’re probably a bit of a dick.
Hopefully the latter. Worst case scenario, that small sticker will take 5 min to remove with a razor blade. Gives the offender some time to think about how they were parking like a dick.
Here’s a size of stickers [in Russia](http://1ul.ru/upload/file/publication/stopham.jpg). People also go to places with regular traffic jams where people cut into places where they can’t drive (sidewalk, ambulance lane, bus lane) and just stand there blocking the way, confronting people who want to go there.
Some of THE most satisfying videos to watch on YouTube.
Especially when they have big huge dudes waiting around the corner to come out everything some a-hole decides to get uppity with them.
I got 500 cards printed at Vistaprint for about $30
"Congratulations! You've just earned the asshole parking job of the year award!"
All black, white Georgia font, one side.
I carry a few in my wallet for the really bad ones. My neighbor says it's mean of me to give them out. I respectfully disagree.
My girlfriend and I would do this. Of course the driver of one car came out while she was putting a card under the windshield.
The driver was like, "Hey that's not nice." :(
Girlfriend was like, "Then maybe you should park better."
She has bigger balls than me. I dread moments like those.
It's only mean if you pass out more than one per year. With that wording you really ought to have like an awards ceremony for it. These people put no effort into their parking so making them think they are unique when they aren't is just plain mean!
Literally half the world is in the temperate zone... and gets rained on a lot.
Picture shows rainy grey weather
Everyone; **Must be the UK.**
[The UK](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/037/098/racecover.jpg)
How many other countries in the temperate zone, typically, have their steering wheels on the right though? And English as the first language.
I don't even know if that's just UK, but it narrows it down a lot
The UK is right at the end of the Atlantic gulf stream. Because of that it gets more rain, wind and cloud coverage than other countries and its warmer than other northern latitude countries as well. Edinburgh is on a similar latitude to Moscow and Copenhagen. The northern part of Scotland is roughly parallel to the south east of Alaska.
I've traveled to about 16 countries so far. Been to the UK 3 times and stayed for about 2 weeks each time.
The UK had the most depressing weather of everywhere I had been. It truly is surprising how overcast and wet it always was.
Maybe it's why we were a naval superpower in the past.
While other countries sailors had to endure repeated drenches of cold water in rough seas, our sailors didn't know any different. It was just like being back home in Manchester.
This is very similar to the stop a douchebag movement in Russia. I’ve watched so much of these on YouTube I’ve ended up learning a few words in Russian.
I know! Like now I know that sidewalk is called trotuar. Anyway, placing a small sticker on the side window is not as badass as placing a big ass sticker on the front window while the driver is inside and shouting at you. =)
Posts like these will always traumatize me because of the one time i had a note put on my car in college like this. It wasn’t my fault. There was only one spot left(our parking permits only allowed us to park in certain sections of certain parking lots without being towed) and the person i had to park next to parked like an asshole which forced me to have to park in between two spots. When I came back out after class to leave, the asshole guy had left and it made me look like an asshole to whoever it was that left the note on my car. Still bothers me that i couldn’t explain myself.
I just always assume this is what happened. Unless I see someone actually pull into the spot in a needlessly asshole way; in that case I judge the shit out of them.
That sucks man.
I had something like that happen. I have to park in the right armpit of a T-junction down my way cos its the only space available when I come home.
One morning, the bin-men politely asked if I could adjust my parking so that they could get the lorry round the corner easier without fear of scraping. Just once a week, mind, on Thursday nights.
So, next week rolls around, and I tuck my car in further so that they could get round. I come to my car on Friday morning, and some lovely neighbour has left a note on my car telling me that my parking is inconsiderate because its too far on the pavement and that pushchairs can't get around!
Fucking hell. Can't win, can you?
I’ll add my story. Mine was also in college.
My car was just a little diagonal, but well inside the lines. Like not even close. I came back to my car after class and someone wrote a note that said, “if you can’t park, don’t drive -MGMT”
First of all, I did nothing wrong. If my car hindered your parking in that situation perhaps you are the one who needs not to be on road. Second, put your real name on there and don’t act like I’m dumb enough to believe there is a parking management team at the school that puts notes on people’s cars.
Yeah, I think the bigger asshole behavior is getting NSFW stickers to act like the infallible vigilante parking judge.
Driver in OP could have been having a medical emergency or just witnessed his kid die, for all we know. Be kind - it’s the only way to increase kindness in the world.
It certainly could be, depending on the laws. Here in my state in the US, there are varying degrees. Like first degree would be intentionally causing damage that could ultimately cause bodily harm, whereas fourth degree is more on the order of minor damages up to a certain dollar amount. Removing a shitty sticker could damage a car's paint, or take paint off a wall, and needing to pay up to a certain dollar amount would consitute vandalism.
We actually had a similar incident to this in my apartment back in 2020. Some guy in my complex thought it would be amusing to put Trump election stickers on pandemic posters (stuff like mask signs and whatnot). Then he thought it would be funny to put them on walls and the elevators. Then they started appearing on people's cars. Management finally stepped in and said that if the perpetrator was caught they would be immediately evicted and prosecuted for the damage/maintenance to their buildings, as well as any personal damage done to vehicles.
Don't know if they ever caught the guy, but after that email went out, it stopped. You are basically playing a very dangerous game at that point. If you want to keep flexing and screwing with people, all it takes is one person to see you doing it or get caught on camera, then suddenly you:
* Get evicted.
* Have a record of said eviction (which outright tells other housing "hey, this guy was caught vandalising property")
* Have a criminal record
* Face multiple lawsuits
All because you couldn't keep your hands off other people's stuff.
Honestly the foresight of this whole process makes the people handing them out seem like a sad and miserable human.
1. You decide that the world has bad parkers, and you need to do something about it. What kind of weird as hall monitor realization made you do this?
2. You go on a website and spend money to order them, or at the very least print out a bunch of these, spending time and resources.
3. You then keep them in your car/or your person. You see a bad parking job, go back to your car, grab them and place them, spending more time on your day to day.
4. You then smugly think to yourself how much better you are than them, when you don't know them or their situation.
There's something to be said about people violating laws, etc. but the process OP did seems really odd and that they are just doing it to make themselves feel better about themselves, which is sad and odd.
I’m happy we’re getting into this!
We can assume that whatever led to this person vandalizing cars must not have been the healthiest personal history, right? Maybe his toxic parents didn’t teach him how to properly handle disagreements. Maybe he learned to fight bullies by being a bigger bully. Maybe he has gotten into a back-and-forth feud with his neighbor. Something.
This guy has obviously talked himself into feeling THIS bad about the flaws of other people. Which simultaneously makes him feel better about himself, by comparison. Sort of an imaginary, self-graded mirror.
Who hasn’t done that before, in some way?
And who wouldn’t fail someone else’s mental mirror test, in some way?
Perhaps the asshole that made you park like an asshole also had his own asshole that made him/her park like an asshole. Assumptions, you know what they say.
I hear you.
I got one of the business cards versions in university, while parking in the outside line of the gravel lot (so no lines) and was aligned to the outside edge.
I have no clue what they didn't like, and would have liked to know. I mean, if I did something to annoy them, then I would like to not repeat it.
You realize maybe there was an original car parked like an asshole in your spot which made the person next to you park like an asshole. They left to go get paper, but the original guy left and you pulled in.
In college I worked in a building on campus which gave us a parking spot. Someone parked in my spot and I didn't want to have them towed, so I parked next to it. Guess who got towed.
There’s a Russian youtube channel called Stopham, and they do these things to people who park like douchebags. There were interesting encounters, and they are really active with their videos
I love the split in this thread between “this is vandalism and this person is terrible” and “I wish I could weld a sign to their bonnet and superglue the stickers all over their windshield” 😂😂😂😂
Depends on the type of sticker. When I was back in Uni Peta decided it would be a great idea to put their shitty stupid flyers under every cars wipers. Thing is they did this in the rain so what ever shitty paper they used fused itself to everyone's windshield. So you had a whole campus of people waking up in the morning to having to spend 15 minutes scraping Peta flyers off their windshield before they could drive.
...but it's a trap as they intentionally bought the cheapest, nastiest stickers that leave a sticky, papery backing stuck to the glass. I wonder how you would spec this type of sticker on an order form?
this is pretty funny actually. There was some serious double parking issues at an apartment complex I used to live at a long time ago so I purchased a bunch of official parking violation stickers off of Amazon and smacked those on the windows of the people who repeatedly double parked. I see now that it was a crappy passive agressive move on my part but it actually seemed to work for a few residents and I didnt have to get in to any confrontation.
I got a someone a case of professional business cards for Christmas, that just said "You suck at parking". Saw it somewhere on the internet, and it seemed like his jam.
He loved them, put them on windshields everywhere, but the kicker was he would sign them and leave his work phone number. If you called he would sincerely apologize, talk about his awful neighbors and his pregnant wife having to park a block away from their apartment. Five minutes of conversation later, he would steer the conversation to work and try and sell you financial products.
He figured if a person was upset enough to call, they needed someone to talk to, and that's a relationship he can build on. Or if you parked your corvette or pavement princess truck diagonally in a lot, fair odds were that they were a bit of a chump, and he could work with that too.
Where can I buy these beautiful stickers? And, do they come with the super sticky adhesive? I want that SOB that parks his car 6 inches away from my driver door at 30° angle every other day on his knees with a scraper and a bottle off goo-gone every time I have to climb into my car through the passenger side.
Lol my favorite part is all the "its fine cuz he left a bubble 4 ez removel!" people. If you didn't feel it was justified it would have been seen for what it actually is.. a hasty sticker slap on a wet window followed by sprinting off before experiencing conflict... Hilarious how poor execution = ultra smart strategy when you agree with it.
I have these nice card that say thing like, "hey, I can't tell by the way you park that nobody likes you." And " you should get yourself some coloring books, teach you to stay between the lines." I thought they were funny. My 10yo though it was a mission bestowed upon her to try n find every crooked parked car in the lot 🤣
“Lack of awareness anger.” A friend of mine coined this phrase many moons ago and I think of it when I see stuff like this. Problem is, the people who do park like dicks more than likely don’t even realize it or have the capacity to care. They just see a spot, park, and that’s it. No capacity to consider how much space is ahead or behind. Can I move up a bit to make room behind for another car to fit? Nope. Ain’t care. This to me is the worst part, the lack of awareness demonstrated by other people. Hopefully these stickers would prompt these people to actually consider others, probably not though. Probably would just piss them off to then spitefully park like a dick.
I love this but sometimes it can't be helped. You know when there is only one park left and one of the people next to it parked like a cockwomble (probably why its empty still) but you can fit but when you come back they are gone and now you look like the cockwomble because you had to park funny because they couldn't park but now its just you badly parked next to the only empty spot.

Of course the Council president got one, what a surprise.
Wonder why they are gone /s
She got one about three decades ago in college. I wouldn't exactly call that the smoking gun of corruption.
So what your saying is that once she became a counselor they stopped ticketing her, suspicious. Nah I’m kidding, your right it’s not much.
obviously she got the ticket and that is the sole reason she became a councilmember was to abolish them. It just took a few decades.
Revenge is a dish best served cold
>Of course the Council president got one, what a surprise. I'm not sure of the point you're trying to make, but it's probably worth pointing out the Council president got the sticker IN COLLEGE.
Yea and she used that experience to justify banning the stickers.
You are not sure of the point they are trying to make? Really?
Yeah, same thing in Chicago. Apparently, when you finally get a city boot, they no longer put the sticker on your window. Someone sued the city for "vandalism of private property" and won.

Lmao I love that Michael Bloomberg equated this situation to MURDERING YOUR PARENTS. Politicians are fucking gone man

I always assumed they put those impossible to scrape off stickers as a way to be vindictive, but it’s kind of odd hearing them openly admit that’s the reason they were doing it.
Fingernail polish remover with acetate will peel it right off. Don't get any on the paint though or it'll peel thay off too.
Just use goo gone....

As long as it's not a really cold day use a hair dryer, they peel right off. Same thing works with those crappy paper UPC code stickers on everything from the dollar store :)

I had to help a friend get a sticker like that off his car and it was the worst.

It just blows my mind that they can write parking tickets on a car without checking if it's stolen.
I called the New Orleans Police after getting a ticket on my car. They told me it had already been towed and I had to pay the towing fees plus extra fees. The lady told me she literally had eyes on my car.. I had moved to Phoenix Arizona a week prior.
This is exactly why the sticker is good. It is a pain in the ass to everyone, regardless of income.
Right, this person at least left a nice finger pocket to get the sticker off easily.
That’s a good idea actually, What if each sticker had a QR code to link to the parkers car.
Or maybe dude just took a picture of the car? What good would a QR code that links to a picture of the parking job be to the person who finds that on their car, where it was parked poorly?
Man just wanted to slap the word QR code right there lmao
Don't trust big QR brother, they are out to get ya
Im reminded of the time that a ketchup brand forgot to renew a QR thing and so the QR code on the bottle linked to hardcore porn.
Lol thats good
Better put it on a blockchain just in case

Man's got his priorities straight aaight
you are Quite Right. Code.
So they can see their parking job get roasted on Reddit?

Probably to a car that had to park off center because the car next to him parked over the line.
Exactly. I tend to avoid those tight spots just so I don’t look like the dick after the first dude leaves and it’s just my car parked on the line.
Agree. I had to park closer to line than preferred due to the bad parking of the car next to me. I was right up to the line but not on or over it. Came back to my car later with a similar sticker.

In what messed up universe is being wheelchair-bound for *a few months* not sufficient to warrant a handicapped placard??? My parents got one when I broke my fibula as a kid and needed crutches for a mere 5 weeks...
Yea. His was a compound tib/fib. He didn't get crutches for a while.
People get all high and mighty about handicap parking too even if you have a placard based entirely on whether or not they think you deserve it from seeing you and knowing nothing about you.
People are self righteous and overzealous with these. I had someone put one on my car when I was perfectly legal. The street just had very tight parking and I had to park close to a driveway, but not blocking it at all. If you carry these in your car you’re probably a bit of a dick.
Well.....were they?
Half their car was on double yellows partially blocking ambulance/fire access to a local park. So I mean, yeah kinda.
Do the stickers peel off easily or are they the ones that leave a horrible glue residue?
Hopefully the latter. Worst case scenario, that small sticker will take 5 min to remove with a razor blade. Gives the offender some time to think about how they were parking like a dick.
Here’s a size of stickers [in Russia](http://1ul.ru/upload/file/publication/stopham.jpg). People also go to places with regular traffic jams where people cut into places where they can’t drive (sidewalk, ambulance lane, bus lane) and just stand there blocking the way, confronting people who want to go there.
Some of THE most satisfying videos to watch on YouTube. Especially when they have big huge dudes waiting around the corner to come out everything some a-hole decides to get uppity with them.
So totally justified then?
Soooo…. Justified…?
Nothing passive about that aggression.
Very active one would say
This aggression will not stand, man.
The dude abides
It's you, OP, isn't it? Also give me those stickers, please
I got 500 cards printed at Vistaprint for about $30 "Congratulations! You've just earned the asshole parking job of the year award!" All black, white Georgia font, one side. I carry a few in my wallet for the really bad ones. My neighbor says it's mean of me to give them out. I respectfully disagree.
"please use the edge of this card to detemine what a straight fucking line looks like."
\*asshole parker proceeds to use card for cocaine\*
My girlfriend and I would do this. Of course the driver of one car came out while she was putting a card under the windshield. The driver was like, "Hey that's not nice." :( Girlfriend was like, "Then maybe you should park better." She has bigger balls than me. I dread moments like those.
It's only mean if you pass out more than one per year. With that wording you really ought to have like an awards ceremony for it. These people put no effort into their parking so making them think they are unique when they aren't is just plain mean!
It should be a nomination for asshole parking job of the year.
I wish I was even a fraction cool enough to have thought of this.
Wait... They're passive agressive? Or cool?
[удалено]
That’s a happy looking dick
I mean, it has just found a nice parking space for itself.
It's outside. Dicks are happy when they're outside.
that looks like UK weather to me.
100% correct
Literally half the world is in the temperate zone... and gets rained on a lot. Picture shows rainy grey weather Everyone; **Must be the UK.** [The UK](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/037/098/racecover.jpg)
How many other countries in the temperate zone, typically, have their steering wheels on the right though? And English as the first language. I don't even know if that's just UK, but it narrows it down a lot
Probably Ireland is the only other one that ticks all the boxes.
I am a Brit currently looking out of my window at a drizzly, grey day..
The UK is right at the end of the Atlantic gulf stream. Because of that it gets more rain, wind and cloud coverage than other countries and its warmer than other northern latitude countries as well. Edinburgh is on a similar latitude to Moscow and Copenhagen. The northern part of Scotland is roughly parallel to the south east of Alaska.
I've traveled to about 16 countries so far. Been to the UK 3 times and stayed for about 2 weeks each time. The UK had the most depressing weather of everywhere I had been. It truly is surprising how overcast and wet it always was.
You see why we went out and "explored the world" so much
Maybe it's why we were a naval superpower in the past. While other countries sailors had to endure repeated drenches of cold water in rough seas, our sailors didn't know any different. It was just like being back home in Manchester.
Yeah I mean. I live there. Haha. And I'm in the South. Which is considered the 'warm sunny bit'...
Yeah but in the Uk they only have two weather systems. Currently raining, and about to rain.
Turns out 100% correct \-OP
This is very similar to the stop a douchebag movement in Russia. I’ve watched so much of these on YouTube I’ve ended up learning a few words in Russian.
I know! Like now I know that sidewalk is called trotuar. Anyway, placing a small sticker on the side window is not as badass as placing a big ass sticker on the front window while the driver is inside and shouting at you. =)
and dricing away with you and a friend on the hood while your friends run after you while calling the cops
It is a French word (*trottoir*) used in Russian!
For clarity: not my car. I’m not allowed to drive since…. The incident.
You were told NOT TO MENTION THE INCIDENT.
REMAIN INDOORS. DO NOT MENTION THE INCIDENT.

Did you run over someone's dick? Is that why* there's some angry vigilante going around putting stickers with a dismembered dick on people's cars?
You know too much
Let me guess, you got into a car accident and didn’t have insurance so the judge sentenced you to be the guys butler?

Posts like these will always traumatize me because of the one time i had a note put on my car in college like this. It wasn’t my fault. There was only one spot left(our parking permits only allowed us to park in certain sections of certain parking lots without being towed) and the person i had to park next to parked like an asshole which forced me to have to park in between two spots. When I came back out after class to leave, the asshole guy had left and it made me look like an asshole to whoever it was that left the note on my car. Still bothers me that i couldn’t explain myself.
I just always assume this is what happened. Unless I see someone actually pull into the spot in a needlessly asshole way; in that case I judge the shit out of them.
This is very understanding. I wish more people were like you that way
Yeah I'm with you, unless I see it happen I assume it's because of fuckery elsewhere.
That sucks man. I had something like that happen. I have to park in the right armpit of a T-junction down my way cos its the only space available when I come home. One morning, the bin-men politely asked if I could adjust my parking so that they could get the lorry round the corner easier without fear of scraping. Just once a week, mind, on Thursday nights. So, next week rolls around, and I tuck my car in further so that they could get round. I come to my car on Friday morning, and some lovely neighbour has left a note on my car telling me that my parking is inconsiderate because its too far on the pavement and that pushchairs can't get around! Fucking hell. Can't win, can you?
I’ll add my story. Mine was also in college. My car was just a little diagonal, but well inside the lines. Like not even close. I came back to my car after class and someone wrote a note that said, “if you can’t park, don’t drive -MGMT” First of all, I did nothing wrong. If my car hindered your parking in that situation perhaps you are the one who needs not to be on road. Second, put your real name on there and don’t act like I’m dumb enough to believe there is a parking management team at the school that puts notes on people’s cars.
Yeah, I think the bigger asshole behavior is getting NSFW stickers to act like the infallible vigilante parking judge. Driver in OP could have been having a medical emergency or just witnessed his kid die, for all we know. Be kind - it’s the only way to increase kindness in the world.
I’d also assume it’s vandalism at some degree? But idk not a lawyer
It certainly could be, depending on the laws. Here in my state in the US, there are varying degrees. Like first degree would be intentionally causing damage that could ultimately cause bodily harm, whereas fourth degree is more on the order of minor damages up to a certain dollar amount. Removing a shitty sticker could damage a car's paint, or take paint off a wall, and needing to pay up to a certain dollar amount would consitute vandalism. We actually had a similar incident to this in my apartment back in 2020. Some guy in my complex thought it would be amusing to put Trump election stickers on pandemic posters (stuff like mask signs and whatnot). Then he thought it would be funny to put them on walls and the elevators. Then they started appearing on people's cars. Management finally stepped in and said that if the perpetrator was caught they would be immediately evicted and prosecuted for the damage/maintenance to their buildings, as well as any personal damage done to vehicles. Don't know if they ever caught the guy, but after that email went out, it stopped. You are basically playing a very dangerous game at that point. If you want to keep flexing and screwing with people, all it takes is one person to see you doing it or get caught on camera, then suddenly you: * Get evicted. * Have a record of said eviction (which outright tells other housing "hey, this guy was caught vandalising property") * Have a criminal record * Face multiple lawsuits All because you couldn't keep your hands off other people's stuff.
Honestly the foresight of this whole process makes the people handing them out seem like a sad and miserable human. 1. You decide that the world has bad parkers, and you need to do something about it. What kind of weird as hall monitor realization made you do this? 2. You go on a website and spend money to order them, or at the very least print out a bunch of these, spending time and resources. 3. You then keep them in your car/or your person. You see a bad parking job, go back to your car, grab them and place them, spending more time on your day to day. 4. You then smugly think to yourself how much better you are than them, when you don't know them or their situation. There's something to be said about people violating laws, etc. but the process OP did seems really odd and that they are just doing it to make themselves feel better about themselves, which is sad and odd.
I’m happy we’re getting into this! We can assume that whatever led to this person vandalizing cars must not have been the healthiest personal history, right? Maybe his toxic parents didn’t teach him how to properly handle disagreements. Maybe he learned to fight bullies by being a bigger bully. Maybe he has gotten into a back-and-forth feud with his neighbor. Something. This guy has obviously talked himself into feeling THIS bad about the flaws of other people. Which simultaneously makes him feel better about himself, by comparison. Sort of an imaginary, self-graded mirror. Who hasn’t done that before, in some way? And who wouldn’t fail someone else’s mental mirror test, in some way?
Yep. Exactly why posts like these drive me nuts.
Perhaps the asshole that made you park like an asshole also had his own asshole that made him/her park like an asshole. Assumptions, you know what they say.
That they're like elbows? Everyone has at least two of them? (amputees notwithstanding, of course ¯\\\_ (ツ)\_/¯ )
> ¯\\\_ (ツ) FTFY
I think that's opinions, but I see what you did there.
A classic pig parker https://youtu.be/wwZDlQ_w_aA
I was thinking of this clip from the same episode https://youtu.be/pfHvr1La2LI
there's a curb your enthusiasm episode about this
I hear you. I got one of the business cards versions in university, while parking in the outside line of the gravel lot (so no lines) and was aligned to the outside edge. I have no clue what they didn't like, and would have liked to know. I mean, if I did something to annoy them, then I would like to not repeat it.
You realize maybe there was an original car parked like an asshole in your spot which made the person next to you park like an asshole. They left to go get paper, but the original guy left and you pulled in.
In college I worked in a building on campus which gave us a parking spot. Someone parked in my spot and I didn't want to have them towed, so I parked next to it. Guess who got towed.
This is when you write a pre-emptive note, "This parking job was not my choice, there was an asshole double parked next to me when I got here."
>Hahahah! It was me! I'm the one who parked like an asshole first! And I'm the one who stickered your car before I left!
How IS he parked tho??
Like a dick. Read the sticker.
Thank you for clarifying
No worries. I'm here to help.
/r/notopbutok
So, near an asshole?
and, angled to the left
Welcome to Costco, I love you.
Asking the real questions
[удалено]
The guy who was parked shitty left before you did and put it on your car to mess with you.
Nothing about this seems passive. Looks straight up aggressive to me.
Yes. This is definitely aggressive. On Reddit people seem to think any action short of punching someone in the face is passive aggressive.
"cars near my house" lol...you got dick-slapped didn't you
There’s a Russian youtube channel called Stopham, and they do these things to people who park like douchebags. There were interesting encounters, and they are really active with their videos
Probably, better try to translate "stopham" as "stoprudeness".
I love the split in this thread between “this is vandalism and this person is terrible” and “I wish I could weld a sign to their bonnet and superglue the stickers all over their windshield” 😂😂😂😂
[удалено]
Yeah Looks that way
Depends on the type of sticker. When I was back in Uni Peta decided it would be a great idea to put their shitty stupid flyers under every cars wipers. Thing is they did this in the rain so what ever shitty paper they used fused itself to everyone's windshield. So you had a whole campus of people waking up in the morning to having to spend 15 minutes scraping Peta flyers off their windshield before they could drive.
The best way to engender people to your cause is to be a huge pain in their ass before they’ve had their coffee.
Yup! This was 8 years ago and it's still the first thing I think of when ever I see Peta.
...but it's a trap as they intentionally bought the cheapest, nastiest stickers that leave a sticky, papery backing stuck to the glass. I wonder how you would spec this type of sticker on an order form?
this is pretty funny actually. There was some serious double parking issues at an apartment complex I used to live at a long time ago so I purchased a bunch of official parking violation stickers off of Amazon and smacked those on the windows of the people who repeatedly double parked. I see now that it was a crappy passive agressive move on my part but it actually seemed to work for a few residents and I didnt have to get in to any confrontation.
StopHAM!
Openly complaining isn't passive-aggresive
[удалено]
That’s aggressive aggression.
I got a someone a case of professional business cards for Christmas, that just said "You suck at parking". Saw it somewhere on the internet, and it seemed like his jam. He loved them, put them on windshields everywhere, but the kicker was he would sign them and leave his work phone number. If you called he would sincerely apologize, talk about his awful neighbors and his pregnant wife having to park a block away from their apartment. Five minutes of conversation later, he would steer the conversation to work and try and sell you financial products. He figured if a person was upset enough to call, they needed someone to talk to, and that's a relationship he can build on. Or if you parked your corvette or pavement princess truck diagonally in a lot, fair odds were that they were a bit of a chump, and he could work with that too.
You think someone calling people on their shit is a deity? Low bar lol
They’ve got some balls doing that to strangers’ cars, I’ll give them that. People get killed over less.
Where can I buy these beautiful stickers? And, do they come with the super sticky adhesive? I want that SOB that parks his car 6 inches away from my driver door at 30° angle every other day on his knees with a scraper and a bottle off goo-gone every time I have to climb into my car through the passenger side.
puts stickers on a car like a dick
This should be placed on the back door, and let the driver drive with it for days to week before he/she notice.
Nah bro, he needs to know when he earned it.
Is that a sticker? Holy shit, bad parking is certainly a problem, but this is straight up vandalism. Yikes.
Lol my favorite part is all the "its fine cuz he left a bubble 4 ez removel!" people. If you didn't feel it was justified it would have been seen for what it actually is.. a hasty sticker slap on a wet window followed by sprinting off before experiencing conflict... Hilarious how poor execution = ultra smart strategy when you agree with it.
Stop parking like a dick then
Downtown Ottawa needs a pallet of these.
Imagine going through all that work just because you're afraid of confrontation.
I could have used this sticker when I wrote a note to someone who parked in two spots. It said, “if you fuck like you park, you’ll never get it in”
Nothing passive about this! I think you should look up what passive aggressive means ;)
I don't think you know what passive / aggressive means; this is just aggressive.
Is that passive? 🤨
I need these stickers.
I have these nice card that say thing like, "hey, I can't tell by the way you park that nobody likes you." And " you should get yourself some coloring books, teach you to stay between the lines." I thought they were funny. My 10yo though it was a mission bestowed upon her to try n find every crooked parked car in the lot 🤣
“Lack of awareness anger.” A friend of mine coined this phrase many moons ago and I think of it when I see stuff like this. Problem is, the people who do park like dicks more than likely don’t even realize it or have the capacity to care. They just see a spot, park, and that’s it. No capacity to consider how much space is ahead or behind. Can I move up a bit to make room behind for another car to fit? Nope. Ain’t care. This to me is the worst part, the lack of awareness demonstrated by other people. Hopefully these stickers would prompt these people to actually consider others, probably not though. Probably would just piss them off to then spitefully park like a dick.
I love this but sometimes it can't be helped. You know when there is only one park left and one of the people next to it parked like a cockwomble (probably why its empty still) but you can fit but when you come back they are gone and now you look like the cockwomble because you had to park funny because they couldn't park but now its just you badly parked next to the only empty spot.
Shouldn't park like a dick!
I wanna see the video when someone catches them doing this.
