The most furious and filthiest-mouthed notes left on car wind screens have been revealed in a compilation of passive-aggressive road warfare.
The rude messages were brought together after a survey of an unknown number of Liverpudlians found a third had left such notes.
One young woman returned to her vehicle to find a Postit that read: "Hope you were in a rush, you can't park for s***, reports the Liverpool Echo .
"Maybe someone will teach you."
Another scorned driver infuriated a fellow road user with his parking, prompting a punchy message.
"Park your toy van somewhere else," it read.
"Yeah [sic]. I am so f****** late for work. Thanks."
Another simply said: "Please muve."
The notes, compiled by second-hand motor company heycar, come against a cultural backdrop of road born shaming.
Social media group ‘Parking like a T*** UK’ has more than 47,000 followers who sign up for its daily posts exposing British motorists and their parking skills.
More than 2,400 people follow a page called ‘Bad Parking UK’ and 11,000 social media users tap into ‘Parking like a P**** UK’ during their daily Facebook scrolls.
The public's apparent appetite for bashing poor drivers online is almost met by people's hunger for grabbing a top parking space.
The Liverpool Echo compiled a list of the passive aggressive parking related moves most spoken about on the above social media groups.
They include:
- Waiting for a space to become available and then quickly moving their car
- Parking too close to a car
- Blocking their own drive to make a point
- Badly parking their own car
- Warning their neighbours not to take their ‘spot’
-
Putting chains across spaces
Mat Moakes, CEO of heycar, said: “Getting straight to the point has never been a strength of British people - we’re just too reserved as a nation to be comfortable with face to face confrontations - and that’s exactly what we’ve found in our research.
“We all want the easiest life, whether it’s choosing your perfect car or finding a spot to park it in.”
