Bristol Residents Have Produced The Most Passive-Aggressive Parking Notes Of 2015
How do Brits vent their anger? By writing angry letters and notes of course.
This is exactly what the residents of Bristol have been doing in response to bad car parking on their streets.
A local blogger,Ā Dan Mehmet, noticed people who lived near his home in Bristol were partial to penning such passive-aggressive messages for fellow drivers over their inconsiderate parking.Ā
He started taking photos of the humorous notes and posted a collection of his favourites the website for his video creation company, Sparcol.
Among the best was an irate 'Mr Banks' who penned a neat note to ask a driver who blocked his driveway āAre you drunk?ā
Another less polite local used a thick marker to write an A4 sized message - āDo NOT Park You're Car like AN A** AGAIN 'D**Kā.
Leaving a more permanent reminder, one person wrote their warning on the ROAD in spray paint - āBEWARE PARKING FINE HEREā.
Other examples include a furious resident who wrote āDON'T PARK ON THE PAVEMENTā on a sticky label, and plastered it to a side window.
Dan, from Bristol, said: āWhat do you know about the city of Bristol? The most important thing to know is this: parking your car is fraught with danger.
āGet it wrong, and your windscreen wiper will become a paper clip for a handwritten reprimand.
āI'm a sucker for handwritten notes. Especially those of the passive-aggressive variety. All that rage and indelible ink. Pure communicative joy.
āWhen I realised this was how Bristol's car owners spoke to each other, I started photographing their work.ā
A more polite person's note said: āPlease don't park in the middle of a space for two carsā.
One irate local needed two piecesof A4 to vent their fury in a note which said: āTHANK YOU FOR LEAVING ME⦠ENOUGH ROOM TO GET INTO MY BOOT⦠A***HOLE!āĀ
