A long-running feud over parking in an Ayrshire town has led to mayonnaise being plastered over a stunned resident's car.
Jason Doolan, 28, is being tormented by a nearby middle-aged man who has opted to use the food condiment to send a message not to park outside his flat.
The aircraft mechanic returned to his motor last month to find dozens of pieces of paper lined with the eggy dressing stuck onto the bonnet, windows and roof as it lay parked across from his Troon flat.
Determined to catch the culprit in the act, Jason set up a secret camera on his phone to capture the disgruntled man.
Shock footage shows the irate man slapping paper lined with the mayo onto his silver Audi.
The war over parking in the lane next to a block of residential flats and a kebab shop has escalated from shouting in the street to a bizarre food fight, with eggs also making an appearance.
Jason has told Ayrshire Live he is fed up having to constantly clean his car.
He said: “This has been going on for at least six months.
“I started parking there because it is all double yellows outside my flat across the road.
“His argument is that I am blocking the entrance for fire engines but I would never do that, there is plenty of space for any emergency vehicle to get past.
“It started off with little notes that he would put on my car.
“Then he would start shouting at me as I got out of my car. At one point the whole family was out.
“Some of the threats were really strange as well, I remember him saying, ‘you think you're a big man in your Audi’, I just never really rose to it or got involved.
“There was another time when he just stood there filming me.
“They just look out the windows, wait for me to park then go down and abuse it.”
As the dispute got more heated, Jason’s nemesis would use stickers which had to be scrapped off his motor before the mayonnaise jar was brought out which Jason believes was the “cheap stuff”.
He added: “It definitely wasn’t Hellmann’s, it was stinking, it had been sitting there for over an hour and you could smell it before you could see it.”
Jason posted the footage on a community page on Facebook to warn others of the ‘Mayo Man’.
And he was surprised to see that other people in the town had been affected with one other car owner saying they had endured eggs being poured over their car.
Jason remains defiant and has vowed to continue to park there.
He added: “I really have no choice. It’s either that or face parking tickets but it really is going too far.”
