A tradie has been left ’heartbroken’ to find a bizarre, printed ‘parking ticket’ left on their car while picking up their children from school.
The tradie parked their work vehicle longways in a parking spot outside a pub in Woodvale in Perth’s north on Wednesday.
While they walked to collect their children from a neighbouring school, the typed ticket with a long, elaborate message was stuffed under their windscreen wiper.
They returned with their kids to find the note which sarcastically read, ’Thanks for the way you park your car you ignorant b***ard’.
The faux parking fine was printed on ticket-shaped paper and dated with a pen.
‘This is not a ticket, but if were within my power, you would receive two. Because of your Bull Headed, Inconsiderate, feeble attempt at parking you have taken enough room for a 20 mule team, 2 elephants, 1 goat, and a safari of pygmies from the African interior,’ reads the note.
‘The reason for giving you this is so that in the future you may think of someone else, other than yourself.’
The note ended in a mean wish for the tradie to have issues with his car on the way home.
‘Thanks for the way you park your car, you ignorant b***ard,’ reads the mock parking ticket
‘To say I’m heartbroken is an understatement,’ the tradie wrote on social media in response to the ticket
‘Besides, I don’t like domineering, egotistical or simple minded drivers and you probably fit into of these categories.
‘I sign wishing you an early transmission failure (on a freeway at about 4.30 p.m.). Also, may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits.’
It appears pads of similar notes can be bought online.
However, the fake ticket came at the wrong time for the Perth parent.
‘To say I’m heartbroken is an understatement,’ they wrote on social media.
‘As a hard working single parent trying to provide the best education for my kids and (to) be shamed for where I park, I’m left speechless.’
The tradie conceded his vehicle was longer than regular cars and he needed to park it ‘longways’ in small parking bays.
‘If a parent from our school has put this note on my windscreen, I hope you take a long hard look at yourself,’ the parent wrote.
Other social media users were divided, with some taking aim at owners of big cars.
‘Fancy being so entitled that you think taking up multiple bays is acceptable just because you chose to drive a tank,’ wrote one local.
‘To be fair parking a truck/trailer across five bays in that spot at that time of day is a s*** move,’ said another
Others, however, called out the ‘pitiful’ ticket distributor.
‘If it was me I would laugh it off. Honestly (it’s) not worth your time. However, obviously they have a lot of time on their hands to do something so petty.
‘Either that or they’re simply bored,’ one said.
