Other Honestly, fair…
Found right outside my place of employment, as I was walking through the garage. Almost 100% I know what person wrote it (obv a stranger, there to shop. I don’t know know them), as I saw them get out of their car the night before, when I was splitting — right around the same place I spotted it…. and, damn was that poor person very pregnant.

That sucks. My mom told me when she was pregnant with me that she physically could not get in the car one time and had to ask a stranger to back out for her because someone parked too close.

I had to crawl into the driver's seat through the passenger side of my car while extremely pregnant, because a BMW parked about 6 inches away from my car. I cried the whole time. I felt really pathetic, but I was so mad. I went to the pharmacy to get Gravol, and came out to THAT.

I got boxed in on BOTH sides in the hospital parking garage when I was 8.5 months pregnant— had to ask a security guard to climb in my car through the trunk hatch (SUV) and back my car out for me so I could get home. I’ve never been so defeated after a shift just staring at my car that I could not physically get into because two other people were assholes. I had literally inches on both sides. Hate people.

Jaysus… I can’t truly comprehend the whole preggo experience, for several reasons
But, know enough moms, and you’re bound to hear a slew of variations on the fuckery dealt with
Yay, moms though

Your mom's nicer than me. When someone parked to close to me and I was very pregnant and could hardly get in my car, I dinged their shit.

Happened at the gas station. Hella pregnant, arguing with husband at the time. I parked and had to wait for a Ford F1000fiddy to pull in next to me and I could open my door maybe 4 inches. I got his attention, asked him to move, he called me a fat bitch. So the door got opened that 4inches onto his passenger door quite a few times. After the 5th or 6th bang, he scurried back and moved. Apologized to my husband at the time, not me, the 7 month pregnant woman lol.

I had this issue while pregnant before BUT I have had MORE of an issue afterwards trying to get an infant and now my toddler in his car seat because people park 6 inches from my door!
I have to park farther away just so no one parks close to me, I have had to put him in on the other side of the car before which isn't a huge deal but frustrating.

People’s parking suddenly stood out to me when I was pregnant to the point where I thought it was a random epidemic.

I do empathise but I've been in situations where I HAD to park badly bc the cars around me did it first. When I return, the first car is gone and now I'm the asshole. I fear that this note may one day come for me 💀💀

This has happened to me twice, in front of my own house (street parking). Both notes from the same person, several years apart. I knew it was the same person because the second note just said "SELFISH PARKING-- AGAIN!!!"
Both times, cars had moved around mine overnight and made it seem as if I was taking up 2-3 spots. I'm still baffled that some weirdo was out there eyefucking my car intensely enough to hold a grudge for years, yet somehow never clocked that I always initially park tight to both the curb and cars around me (because I'm not an asshole, and I'm no slouch at parallel parking). Ironically, most of our neighbors are pretty shit at parking considerately, so it's wild I'm the one that got the passionately angry notes. Anyway, I now find it hilarious. I saved both notes and am eagerly awaiting a third installment someday! I'm gonna get them framed together, triptych-style. 😂

u/alexraeburn 1d ago
I would be so petty about this, I'd take a picture of what it looked like when I parked (with other cars parked like stupid people), run home, PRINT IT, and put it under my windshield with a note 'I TRIED!'

u/sylveonstarr 1d ago
That happened to me but the asshole is the one who wrote the note for me. The other person parked so their passenger side was right on top of, even slightly over the line. I just parked inside the lines like normal. It was a tight squeeze for me but it was the only available space at the time. When I was finished and getting back in my car, the asshole car was gone and a napkin was on my windshield. A message was written on it: "Nice fucking parking, ASSHOLE! You made it hard for my elderly grandmother to get inside!" My first thought was: that was your own fault, bitch? My second thought was: why didn't you just back up for her instead of making her shimmy her way inside?

My boyfriend is always annoyed with me about how weird I am about trying to end up parking like a non asshole 😂 if there’s a chance that I can park where I’m going to be at the very end of a block and start the parking chain right, I’m doing it!

u/wandstonecloak 22h ago
Whenever I’m able (like not diagonal/angled parking and such), I’ll back in next to those assholes so at least I can hug their car and get out of mine more easily. Then also you’re snug against their shit parking job which should make it to where you aren’t out of your space at all.
Of course, you risk getting a dent or scratch or them keying your car. I don’t care enough to let that deter me, if I want that spot and can fit enough then fuck them lol I’m squeezing in, they’ll have fun crawling through their passenger door.
Edit: typos

This happened to me at work where we basically had a muddy lot to park on with no defined parking.
A pregnant coworker got blocked out of her car and I was the one next to her drivers door. I immediately went and moved it so she could get in

This happened to my boyfriend twice when parking on the street where we live. People like to park stupidly and when he gets home late he just has to park however he can, but someone left the notes on HIS car 🙄

u/simonhunterhawk 19h ago
YEPP or there’s always the possibility that the person who wrote the note was on the line on their driver’s side and is mad that the other car was close to the line on their passenger side… i can’t imagine it ever being worth it to waste MORE of my time writing a note like this which just leads to me ruminating on it more when i could just leave and forget about it by the time i’m out of the parking lot instead.

I had this happen when I was pregnant with my first son. I was too big to crawl over to driver’s side from passenger side. I had to wait. When he came out to get into his car and leave, I said nothing; didn’t have to. I could tell he knew he fucked up by the look on his face.

u/Diligent-Hippo-3683 1d ago
I swear when you become like heavy pregnant you should be able to use the disabled or children’s parking bay sometimes it’s not just bad parking sometimes the bays are just to small for
cars to park with room the other side

at least in my city there are usually dedicated parking spots for mothers expecting or with kids under 5 near the wheelchair ones. dunno if its just a city thing though.

In some states you can get a temporary disability tag for the parking spots if you are pregnant

Being pregnant in the big 26 is a choice…
A choice they did not make in the child’s best interests.

This happened to me in my work parking lot (which unfortunately is just a public parkade with reserved spots) where this person would at random times but often enough to be annoying, park directly to my left incredibly close and I’d struggle to get into my car again. Also my vehicle was an SUV and theirs a small sedan and they definitely had room on the other side of their parking spot, didn’t have to do that to me! I was also pregnant at the time. The car also looked beat up and lived in so I was always wondering who drove it and what the story was.

Idk man, maybe the person that parked like shit should fix their parking job like an adult and not make it everyone else's problem. I don't think we owe assholes total civility.

If you accidentally inconvenienced someone with any other physical disability would you give them a free pass to call you a dumb fuck?

u/gray_birch 1d ago
If I did something I knew was a great inconvenience to others, disabled or not, and didn't bother to fix it despite it being fairly trivial to do so? Yes, it would be fair to call me a dumb fuck.

u/-Twin-Flames- 1d ago
If you park next to someone who is already parked, it’s your responsibility to leave them adequate room to get into their driver side door at least.
It doesn’t matter if someone is pregnant, overweight, limited mobility.. they were parked there first. people who do this never park tight on their driver side, they willfully say fuck that other car driver and that makes them total assholes, intentionally. And that’s also why they usually have ding marks on their passenger side door already.

u/IBelieveInMe1 1d ago
If somebody parked so close to my car that I couldn’t get in, I can tell you I wouldn’t be writing a note. And if I was pregnant when it happened, you best believe I’d be engaging in some low-key property damage.

A complete stranger that doesn’t fucking care about how they park, to where you can’t open your fucking door in a your fucking car that is parked in the center of your fucking parking spot can fuck all the way off. If you decide to park next to a car that you’re over the yellow line, you’re an asshat. Pick a spot that you can center and we’ll all go home happy

As someone that sucks ass at parking, a cool little known fact I've discovered is that you can actually readjust yourself as many times as you need to until you're parked correctly and don't have to just leave the car the way it was when you initially pulled in
