To clarify I parked in the same spot that I always do, on the tiny side street next to my house. I was literally an inch from the curb lined up with the car in front of me, and enough room behind me for another car.

By wishing harm to your car and not your person, the author shows how soft Philly has become.

Come on man, what do you expect from the city that looks the other way in the winter when someone gets beat down for moving someone else’s lawn chair in the snow!? 🤣

Plot twist: OP wrote the note for someone else’s car

Is that what that means? Someone left a green bag of dog poop on my car a few weeks ago, and I had a feeling it was because they didn't like the way I parked. Which for starters I can't figure out why. I was parked normally on the street like everyone else. Maybe I parked in someone's saved spot or something.

The charm was yesterday when an old lady I didn’t recognize banged on my front windows and door for a solid 30 seconds till I opened the front door because she wanted to tell me my chewy package arrived 🥰

Wait my neighbor would do this a lot when we first moved in three years ago, or she'd take our packages into her house while we were at work and leave a note on her “9/11 Never Forget" post its on our door to let us know she had them. Sweet lady.

It’s not the middle of the street like a dickhead either! I’m scared of getting too close because I said it in another comment, my neighbors tires got slashed for parking too close to the curb and got a note too. Also I park in this spot 99% of the time, so I think someone just wants the spot.

Better than my 80 year old neighbor who just took it upon himself to key cars when they parked in a way he didn't care for

It's tough to tell from this angle, but I'm guessing that bollard is the further back you can legally be parked. Anything behind it will obstruct turning radiuses and sight lines. If your tail end is too close you're parked illegally, even if there's enough clearance for a car to fit behind you and not be int the intersection itself.

Two responses:

  1. ChatGPT woke up in a pissy mood.

  2. What's the difference between this note and 75% of r/philadelphia posts?

If it makes ya feel any better, hong kong deli (on gaul and westmoreland) DUCT TAPED a note to my windshield that said “no parking in sidewalk!” While i definitely was not on the sidewalk or even on the curb

Yes!! I woke up in the middle of the night and my window was open, I heard a woman outside crying and telling the cops everything. The two tires on the side of the curb were slashed. We don’t know for sure who it was, but we have our suspicions.

Depending on how you parked I might agree with the note leaver.

I have worked in port Richmond for over 20 years. Ten years or so back I was at the target, grocery shopping and talking to my wife on the phone. I mush have been moving slowly through the isle, because a woman behind me said “out of my way, fa$&@t.” I was shocked and stood there for a minute. Before I could respond, she said “you heard me fa$&@t” and walked by me.

Charming people, the Port Richmond folks.

Straighten the wheel out… your car could quickly get all sorts of damage if they make contact with your wheel as it’s angled out. We have a couple compact cars where I live and they tend to be the worst offenders of parking to ensure there’s room for everyone. Tbf, the worst offenders tend to have license plates from NJ

The only thing I can think of is that maybe you left too much space in front, between the other car. But I've never heard of people getting upset about that here in Philly, and you said someone fit behind you. But that is something people get upset about in places with terrible parking, as if you leave too much space then not as many cars can fit on the block. So it could be that, and the person who left the note has a long car.

Not accusing you or anything, just theorizing here

Unless the person who I parked behind pulled out, which is totally possible, I parked right behind them. But that would totally make sense because it was a large car I parked behind, if a smaller car pulled in it probably looked goofy. When I went out this morning to leave for work my car was the only one left on the block so I’ll never know!!

Ohh ok yah this is my guess then - people left and it resulted in you looking like you just chose a random ass spot on the block. Doesn't really justify the note but hey, notes are a good way for people to get some anger out of their system LOL

How bad was your parking? Hahaha now if you parked on someone’s sidewalk on say a street like Clearfield, I don’t blame them. Haha

I’ve lived in the city my entire life, one. I was the only car left on the block when I was leaving for work, so taking a picture of my car the other way didn’t make sense to me because what would it have shown? I said a million times in the comments too, I pulled in behind someone, and there was an open space behind me. It was a completely average park job.

I posted it down in the comments. I don’t do sidewalks trust me, lol. But I think it’s crazy that just around the other side on Indiana there’s 3 cars that park on the sidewalk every night and I’ve never seen a note. I’m a little to far off the curb ONE time and I get this beautiful love letter I will cherish my whole life.
