A man shared how he put a fake note on a Corvette windshield in an attempt at petty revenge. This was in response to the driver taking up four parking spaces.
The Struggle
He began by recalling the daily struggle for parking spots at the university campus where he taught. It was a typical morning, and the campus parking lot was like a battleground.
Parking Wars
Staff and students often vied for limited spaces. But what happened that morning angered him. As he circled the lot, his patience wore thin, and his frustration levels rose with each passing minute.
The Corvette
He said, “Then, amid the sea of cars, I spotted it. It was an ostentatious Corvette occupying not one, but four prime parking spots.”
Space Hogger
The sight left him incredulous. In a lot where every inch counted, this driver had claimed an exorbitant amount of space for a single car.
Entitlement
The man saw it as a symbol of entitlement. This struck a nerve with him, and several students who were also desperately seeking a parking spot.
15-Minutes Later
As the minutes turned into a quarter of an hour, he watched as some of his students were forced to park farther and farther from the main building, He felt that the Corvette owner had a brazen disregard for parking etiquette, and he should respond in some way.
A Parking Spot
After what felt like an eternity, a parking spot opened up toward the back of the lot, offering a momentary reprieve from the chaos. But his frustration with the Corvette owner remained.
Action
As he parked his car, he resolved to take action, to make a statement about their thoughtlessness. He penned a note that read, “Sorry I hit your car, you probably won’t even notice the damage, but it was taking up four parking spots.”
A Simple Message
He felt it was a simple message that carried the weight of his discontent. Placing the note on the Corvette’s windshield, he hoped it would make the owner think more about parking etiquette.
Hours Later
Hours later, after his classes concluded, he returned to the parking lot. There, he encountered an unexpected scene.
Distressed Student
Near the Corvette, a male student appeared visibly distressed. He was frantically searching his vehicle while engaged in an animated phone conversation. The man said, “Although I couldn’t hear the words exchanged, it was clear he was dealing with a stressful situation.”
Moment of regret
For just a moment, he felt a pang of regret. However, this was quickly replaced by his earlier feeling of annoyance at the trouble he and his students had when trying to find a place to park.
A Lesson
He finished by saying he hopes the student learned to park better after that. Most of his sympathy was reserved for the poor person he was yelling at on the phone.
The Reactions
One internet reader warned, “The sad thing is, you just know he found some little scratch or dent, anything to justify the note. He is probably looking for any cameras around anywhere so he can sue someone.”
No Dent
Another said, “I hope there were cameras. I’d love to see his face when he realizes that no one touched the car other than to leave a note.”
Could Be Better
One man said, “What would make it better? Maybe if he goes on some rampage, getting lawyers involved and finally gets the tape and sees nothing.”
The Other Side of Bad Parking
An internet user said, “My aunt is kind of a ditz and sometimes takes up two parking spots because she doesn’t pay close attention to the lines. A while ago, she was really confused by a note someone left on her car. It said, ‘This is not a Ferrari’. It was pretty hard for me to choke back a laugh when she told me about it.”
Expensive Cars
Someone pointed out, “People with expensive cars will sometimes take up multiple spots so nobody can door ding them. If you’re concerned about it then park near the back away from other cars.
Parking a Truck
A truck driver said, “I’ve got a truck older than I am with so many dents I’ve lost count. My favorite parking lot activity is squeezing into spots that people were obviously trying to hoard. If they dent me while trying to get back into their car, so be it.”
Setting a Trend
Many people loved the man’s idea of leaving the fake note. Some said they couldn’t wait to try this tactic themselves when the situation arises.
