A mum was stunned when a hostile note calling her "you idiot" over parking dropped through her letterbox - as she does not even drive or own a car.
Deborah Monroe could not believe what she was reading when the aggressive hand-written note appeared around 8am on Monday and has demanded the sender come forward to talk face to face, StokeonTrentLive reports.
The nasty note read: "DONT park in entry or will report to landlord + police its against the law you idiot."
Deborah has now shared the note in a bid to shame the person responsible into coming forward.
She said: "Whoever posted this in my door, I don't have a car so you are the idiot.
"Please come knock back on and get your stupid note back and talk to people face to face. Whoever this is for, leave your car where it is."
According to Deborah, the offending car was parked near the entrance of a cobbled back alleyway but wasn't causing a major obstruction.
The 28-year-old said: "When I checked the entrance the car I guess the note was intended for was covering the entry slightly but not blocking it.
"It's too narrow to park a car down there and it's only for bringing your bins out. It wasn't that big of a deal anyway.
"I honestly think they should have left the note on the person's car.
"Either that or knocked on and asked me if it was my car. I don't drive at the moment so the fact they still posted it without correct knowledge shows immaturity.
"It's a bit over the top for an adult and very childish. I'm more annoyed they've assumed it was mine and posted such a vile note."
Mum-of-one Deborah explained that a note had been left on the windscreen of the same car around a month earlier.
She added: "I have seen notes left on cars around here countless times.
"There is another back alley entrance across the road too which is always blocked by cars as there is literally nowhere else for them to park. But they've never had a note, yet this blue car seems to annoy them."
Deborah admitted parking for homes around her area is a nightmare, with double yellow lines making it particularly difficult.
The issue is exacerbated by staff, visitors and patients of the Royal Stoke University Hospital leaving their cars on the surrounding streets.
She said: "A lot of people don't use their drives when they have them and we have a business which often has vans out front.
"We also get people from the houses further down which have no parking in front of them trying to park here.
"It's like probably about 20 houses trying to park at the front or squeeze down Nelson Road.
"I think the council has double yellowed far too much of this road."
The note was delivered to her address close in Hartshill Road, Hartshill, at around 8am on January 31.
