Navigating the often cramped and chaotic world of car park etiquette can be a challenge for even the most seasoned drivers among us.

But what happens when parking disputes escalate beyond the silent judgments and into the realm of written confrontation?

One Aussie driver found out the hard way that not all feedback comes with a smile.

Picture this: you've just finished shopping or perhaps enjoyed a leisurely lunch, and you return to your car only to find a nasty note plastered on your windscreen.

This was the reality for one Mitsubishi Pajero owner, who was left stunned by the aggressive message left for him in a car park in Australia.

The note, which was far from a friendly reminder, read: ‘You're a f******, park closer next time w*****!!’

The driver, understandably confused and taken aback by the hostility of the message, took to social media to share his experience.

Alongside a photo of his parking job, he pointed out, ‘I'm the car on the right, the white Mitsubishi. This was left for me.’

The image showed his vehicle parked next to a Hyundai, which had strayed across the line and into his parking space.

This sparked a debate among social media users, with responses ranging from humorous to downright vindictive.

Some users joked about the situation, with one quipping, 'How dare you be within the lines!'

‘Did you know that it's not illegal to allow the air in his tyres freedom, as long as you don't damage the tyre,’ another joked.

Another suggested a more retaliatory measure, asking, ‘You had keys, right?’

However, not everyone was convinced that the Hyundai driver was the note-leaver, with some speculating that it could have been the driver of another car parked on the opposite side of the Mitsubishi.

‘What about the car on the other side?’ one commenter asked.

‘Can we see the photo from the other side where the black car is? You look really close to that car and likely who left the note,’ another said.

One reply suggested the the driver took the note the wrong way, saying, ‘That note was a challenge, so park closer.’

Within the array of both favourable and critical remarks on the social media post, certain responses also offered a rational perspective.

‘It's tough, because what if the other person had to park like s*** because of someone next to them who left already?’ one said.

‘Don't always know who started it.’

‘This is unpopular in this day, but be the adult and ignore them. Or at the most, put the note on their car and leave. Don't sink to their level of s********,’ another advised.

This isn't the only instance of unexpected messages left on vehicles causing a stir.

In affluent communities, strict parking rules are enforced with a firm hand, often leading to startling encounters for unsuspecting motorists.

The shopping centre makes the car park bays so small so they can fit more cars in

I‘ve only left a note once. I was parked perfectly and when I got back to my car there was a large people carrier parked so close I couldn’t even get between them and my car let alone open the door. I waited a while and no one came so I put a note on their vehicle to tell them how annoyed I was. I wasn’t rude but having to get in the passenger side and standing on my seats plus being short it was hell to try and slide in under the steering wheel as my seat was so far forward. I’m sure the other driver may not have realised how hard it was for me but maybe next time he might think before he does it to someone else
