(14,400 posts)put most of it in a jar, cause you don't want to waste it, and just spill a bit of it on the ground underneath the assholes gas cap, like it spilled while you were doing something nefarious.
Then crumple up the empty bag and toss it on the ground.
Watch with a bunch of cold beer as the jackass freaks out about what "happened".
this was a suggestion I had a couple of years ago to someone else that had a problem with a car obsessed asshole.

(44,397 posts)the Facebook post, hundreds of people have given their support to Brady, calling for the writer of the note to be reported to the police or have their car towed.
Brady quipped: 'She told me to cry to someone who cares, so I went to the internet and it turns out a lot of people care.'
After receiving the note, Brady filed a grievance with the Miamisburg police and notified the management of her apartment complex.
The managers said they have not yet decided on a course of action.

(78,249 posts)It's just as real as racism, sexism, homophobia, ageism, etc., and perhaps even more pernicious because it is far more socially acceptable (e.g. this thread would presumably explode if the note had said "Hey n****r!"
edit: I have a saying that America is breaking out in a RAASH: racism, ableism, ageism, sexism, homophobia. Someone suggested I incorporate transphobia and take out the TRAASH.)

People who feel entitled and think "kicking ass" is an acceptable behavior.
Quantess
(27,630 posts)especially among younger people, as this glorification of I'm such a bad ass mofo has gotten worse in recent years. Judging by the handwriting, I'm guessing the letter writer is a 20 to 25 year old female.

(63,221 posts)It's hard to believe that there are people out there that are actually that cruel. What is wrong with people like that? How can you have so little empathy and compassion?

(5,325 posts)......when this happens to me, I just call the police and let them deal with it. Then the moron can't be sure who was behind the cop call and if they guess and do something stupid, there's a record of the original incident on record.
No criticism of this girl meant whatsoever, but my thinking is that if the person is sufficiently insensitive to park there in the first place, the chances are as likely as not that they won't respond well to any kind of confrontation from me. I let the fine do the talking. It's now $250 around here, which suits me just fine.

(26,355 posts)"Dear Asshole:
Hey, look, it's me, touching your car to leave another letter under your windshield wiper blade. Don't worry, as much as I was tempted to, I did not damage your precious automobile.
But the next time you park in this handicapped spot, it will not be me touching your car. It will be the tow truck driver, as he hauls your car to the impound lot, and you'll be paying hundreds of dollars in fines and fees to get it back. Continue with your bullshit, and I'll make you explain yourself to a judge. And I will be there, in that courtroom, handing that judge the last letter you left for me, as evidence.
If you want a war, you'll get one. Every time you park illegally anywhere in this lot, I'm calling the apartment manager, I'm calling the police, and I'm calling the tow company. If you want to continue this stupid fight, I will break you.
Any questions?"
