The fiery note this Aussie driver received from a neighbour sparks massive debate
- Replies 64
We were all taught to 'love thy neighbour' growing up.
And many of us can always count on our neighbours to watch out for us.
But this Aussie driver was left with a less than warm and fuzzy feeling when they discovered a note stuck to their car window, which came from an irked neighbour.
The driver shared the photo on social media, which began: 'Neighbourhood watch.'
'Please be mindful that you have parked in a four-hour only zone. The area is regularly policed due to airport security, and you are likely to receive an infringement notice.'
'Details have been recorded of your vehicle.'
The driver admittedly parked overnight in a four-hour zone near her home on the Gold Coast.
She knew she was 'in the wrong' but 'didn’t know anyone cared that much when the street is so empty anyway'.
'In a quiet residential street, but there are so many houses putting bollards out front, so you can’t park there,' the Queensland resident said.
She asked: 'What are the chances I have obtained a fine?'
The responses flooded in, and opinion was unsurprisingly divided, with one saying the neighbour who wrote the note should mind their own business.
'More like neighbourhood b***h,' one sarcastically quipped.
Others seemed to think the neighbour was right, with one saying: 'It’s a friendly warning from a busybody with nothing else to do. Probably accurate, though, if it’s near an airport.'
While another replied: 'Yep, my mate got a council parking fine due to his neighbour sending the council a picture and details of him parking somewhere he shouldn’t.'
'Well, the note does not ask or require you to do anything. You either have a fine, or you don't. If so, you will receive a fine notice. If that happens, deal with it,' a third commented.
The driver was also asked what she meant when she said residents had been 'putting bollards out front'.
She explained that 'bright orange sticks with a heavy black base like a traffic cone but bigger' had been placed around the area to block off parking spots.
One user who claimed they were a council inspector said residents cannot put bollards out on the road.
'I get nasty residents who report people parking in front of their house. They have left cones out, and I end up taking those away,' they said.
