1. I saw a book of parking tickets today
Almost bought it.
They were different notes you could tear out and put on someones car letting them know they couldn't park.

5. I have also seen books of "Parking Tickets" that have nasty comments on how the
car was parked. Leave it under the wiper, and give the driver a little jumpstart to his heart when he sees it.

They says things like.."You selfish bastard. Did you HAVE to take up TWO parking spots?" from a distance, they look like real parking tickets.

6. Yes!
I was five months pregnant and didn't appreciate having to crawl over the passenger seat to get into my car. I left them a note saying so with some choice words. This was after I waited for a while and they never came out. I would have loved to talk to them face to face!

8. I once bumped a parked car and wrote a note: "sorry I bumped your car. The people watching me write
this note probably think I'm giving you my phone number or insurance number. They're wrong"

9. Back when people still drove Hummers..
I found one parked smack-dab in the middle of two spaces, so I parked my beater about 2 inches away from the driver's side door and went to work.

Nothing happened to my car, so I assume they got the hint.

10. One of my faves from NPD
"That STILL isn't a parking space. You are in the way of traffic leaving the structure. Hopefully someone will light your car on fire - or you know, at least poop on your windshield."

11. I'd like something like that for vehicles that are left running in parking lots or at the curb.

12. Yes - here is what I wrote.
You are too inept to park a car.

Please turn your license in (if you have one!) before you hurt somebody.

15. Yes, when they are parked illegally in a handicapped space.
No justification for that.

17. Last time I saw that I got on my cell phone while standing behind the car
The drive came out and freaked since at the time I was giving their license number to the dispatcher at the PD. Then they got in and revved their engine as though they were going to back over me. I stayed behind the car until a police car got there - it was only a couple of minutes, so I guess they were in the area. The officers thanked me and told me I could go since they had seen the offense and I'd already given my contact info over the phone.

I'll be needing one of those spaces soon, so I want to make sure they will be available!

18. Um, for that one I'd call the cops. ASAP.
That is one of the more atrocious illegal acts I can think of.

21. Had a friend who had some in his glove box
that said, "No, this isn't a parking ticket. But it should be. Next time, leave a can opener so the car next to you can get out."
