Which side are YOU on? Driver’s ‘ridiculous’ note after taking a designated parking spot leaves a resident FUMING
- Replies 16
One BMW driver left a Sydney resident fuming with anger after they left a ‘ridiculous’ note on their car’s windscreen in the hope of explaining why they decided to take her designated parking spot.
The resident took to Facebook to blow off some steam, adding a picture of the note that reads: “'Apologies if this is someone's park. I booked visitor parking and there is no availability. Will move ASAP.”
The images of the car were posted on social media on Wednesday but the BMW remained at a standstill for over 24 hours.

The resident went on to explain that the car had been in her spot since Tuesday morning. She parked her car in front of the BMW on Tuesday night but upon checking the following day, the driver still hadn’t moved their car an inch. It seemed clear to her that the owner was in no rush to leave.
“It is ridiculous that at least once a week I find my parking spot occupied,” the woman captioned her Facebook rant. “Also, isn't ASAP supposed to mean 'as soon as possible?'”
Several users also found the circumstance outrageous, sharing how someone else blocking off a paid parking space is ‘ridiculous’.
Others suggested she take things a little further, with one urging her to key the BMW and another insisting she should take the number plate for ‘safekeeping’.
One more thought it would be a good idea to puncture the tyres of the luxury vehicle to teach the driver a lesson. But a user argued that although puncturing the wheels on the car seemed like it might be quite gratifying, doing so would actually be counterproductive.

"When this offender is finally ready to move their car, then four flat tyres isn't helping," the user responded.
The resident who shared the pictures to a Facebook group added that the building management couldn't do anything to help resolve her case.
Inconsiderate drivers who take up designated parking spaces or no parking zones almost always cause a stir – but remaining open to both sides of the story may completely change your perception of them.
One woman who was fined $117 last week for stopping in a no-parking zone also got herself in some trouble but this story ended in an unexpected twist. You can read more about this by clicking here!
