I found a note on my windshield this morning

It said "what makes you think you're worthy of 2 parking spots?"

man, would I like to meet the person who left this note. I live on a corner. I live in a city where parking tickets are handed out to almost everyone on the street and I've paid hundreds of dollars in tickets in the 6 months I've lived there. If you park less than 20 feet from the corner, you get a ticket. So now I make sure I'm definitely 20 feet from the corner. I can't help it if then there's no room for another car before the next drive way.

who insults someone via an anonymous note and then runs away so they can't be rebutted? I'm pretty pissed.

    I think you should write a detailed essay as to why you feel you should be able to do this. I'd also include an envelope for the original not creator to stick money in for your next parking ticket.

    Ahh, Boston. 2 World Series wins and soon to be 4 Super Bowl wins and everyone is still fucking bitter.

    That's the problem with living in a big city I guess. It's a bit of a free for all.

    Park there again, but leave a note of what you just said.

    Would you rather them have left a contact # and a meeting time for some coffee? It sounds like you were in the right and they have nothing better to do than leave a note. If in six months you have only received one note and a couple hundred dollars in tickets, consider yourself lucky. Within the first six months in NYC my gf accumulated almost $2000 in tickets, one tow, and one idiot that hit her while she was sitting in the car.

    parking in a big city is such a pain. There is a person who lives in my building who drives a Volvo that miserably failed parking 101. I can't tell you how many times that damn Volvo has been lodged on my bumper, or how many times they have taken up two spots, with that intention...

    I swear, if a note ever should have been given... argh!

    write a card board sign and stick it by your car where you park and say:

    "To the weakling that left a note on my car, I take up two spots because I can...now up your nose with a rubber hose"

    There was a note on my windshield once that said: "Pearl Jam. Eddie and Stoney rocks! Yaaaayyy!" Thought that was pretty cool.

    Park far enough back that he/she can park close to the corner (closer to the driveway behind you). That way they get a ticket when they park in front of you.

    You could mark 20 feet with a piece of chalk just to be bitchy too. ;)

    good call!

    I also like the idea of drawing the 20 feet line :).

    the other thing is that unless it's a snow emergency or street cleaning, there's pretty much plenty of parking in my street. I've seen plenty of people not parking efficiently and still been able to find a spot.

    uhh tell me about it. i think people in somerville are just immune to good driving skills. the town pisses me off so much.. you know how you get 2 parking passes? well ok i lost one but we had 2 cars over that night.. and as soon as the other pulled up they got a ticket... which i paid cause im not gonna make my friends pay for my fault. and yes its my fault and i will totally take the blame.. but there is a couple that lives next door who refuse to get a parking sticker. how much is it? 10 bucks a year.. ya refuse.. so they use a parking pass. everyday. it clearly states that a car using a parking pass for more than a week will be ticketed... but noooo. and dont even get me started on the guys across the street that will wait till we are done shoveling out and then try to park in taht space.. really?? i mean really??

    sorry about your note.. boston is just bitter this time of year.. all those uptight tufts boys...

    what? they didn't get a ticket!?! My neighborhood has the parking gastapo...I used a visitor pass for 3 days when I first moved in (cuz I didn't have a utility bill yet to get the resident pass!) and I got a ticket for $50! I think it's because I live near the parking office.

    sorry they really piss me off.

    im sure the person who wrote that note thought they were really being clever. everyone owns the god damn street right?

    I used to live in cambridge, and somerville is way, way, way, way worse when it comes to parking tickets. it's unbelievable. EVERYTHING is a "violation." Once I got a ticket because you're supposed to move your car every 48 hours. Did you know that? no of course not! no one does!

    It's a nightmare...it always will be too, because they rake in so much money from all the tickets. They don't want people knowing what exactly will get them a fine, seriously.

    You had it much better than me...

    first year in Minnesota. Parked close to the line, but within it.
    Note on the windshield said "nice fucking parking, you selfish pig"

    I was hurt.

    Minnesota nice :rolleyes:
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    what do they want us to do???? carry our cars to our apartments at night. oh oh and you know the other thing that really pisses me off about this stupid mini van that never gets in trouble.. we had that snow emergency last week and the fuckin thing was still there.. isnt iT ONLY permit parking during snow emergency.

    thank you for lettin gme vent. i get a little nutso. and i dont even own a car. so its only the man of the house who has to deal with this stuff.. but im involved damnit.

    the sad part about your note is that its someone who lives on your street. you have to share the same air with such a dick.

    my favorite is the mickey mouse parking ticket for parking too close to another vehicle where he is flipping you off and it says "next time leave a fucking can opener you inconsiderate asshole"
    If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?
