A tradesman was left ‘heartbroken’ after finding a bizarre printed ‘parking ticket’ on his car when he picked up his children from school.
The tradesman parked his work vehicle lengthwise in a pub car park in Woodvale in Perth’s north on Wednesday.
As they walked to a nearby school to pick up their children, the typed card with a long, elaborate message was stuffed under their windshield wiper.
They returned with their children to find a note that sarcastically read, “Thanks for the way you parked your car, you ignorant asshole.”
The fake parking ticket was printed on paper in the shape of a ticket and dated with a pen.
“This is not a ticket, but if it were in my power, you would have two. Because of your stubborn, thoughtless, feeble attempt at parking, you have taken up enough space for a team of 20 mules, 2 elephants, 1 goat and a safari of pygmies from the African interior,” the letter reads.
“The reason I’m giving you this is so that in the future you’ll think about someone else, instead of yourself.”
The note ended with a mean request for the craftsman to have problems with his car on the way home.
“Thanks for the way you parked your car, you ignorant asshole,” the fake parking ticket reads
“To say I’m heartbroken is an understatement,” the tradie wrote on social media in response to the ticket
‘Also, I don’t like domineering, selfish or simple-minded managers and you probably fit into one of these categories.
‘I sign to wish you a speedy transmission failure (on a highway at around 4:30 p.m.). And may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits.’
It appears that there are blocks of similar nuts available for sale online.
However, the fake ticket came at the wrong time for the Perth parent.
“To say I am devastated is an understatement,” they wrote on social media.
“As a hard-working single parent trying to give my children the best education and being embarrassed by where I park, I am speechless.”
The professional admitted that his vehicle was longer than normal cars and that he had to park it ‘lengthwise’ in small parking spaces.
“If a parent at our school left this note on my windshield, I hope they take a good look at themselves,” the parent wrote.
Other social media users had mixed reactions, with some taking aim at owners of large cars.
“Imagine thinking it’s acceptable to take up multiple parking spaces just because you choose to drive a tank,” wrote one local resident.
“To be honest, parking a truck/trailer in that spot in five spaces at that time of day is a *** move,” said another
Others, however, spoke out strongly against the ‘pathetic’ ticket seller.
“If it were me I’d laugh. Honestly it’s not worth your time. But they clearly have a lot of time to do something so petty.
“Or they’re just bored,” said one.
The tradesman says they were parked across two spaces outside a pub when they received the letter
