I was walking back towards my car when I noticed from about 10 metres away that there is a piece of tissue paper under my windscreen wiper with words scribbled on. My first instinct was that somebody had scratched my car while he was parking, and has left his contact number behind.
But when I was close enough to read the words, they say "Please be more considerate. Driver cant get in." and signed off with "Advice given for free".
Then I remembered that when I was parking the car, I did notice that the car next to me has actually crossed the line and was slightly intruding into the lot that I was about to park in.
To: whomever it was that left the note on my windscreen
1. I parked perfectly within the confines of the yellow box, you are the one who had inadvertently (I hope) encroached into my space.
2. Yes, I could have parked my car closer to the other edge, but I see no reason to inconvenience myself just because you chose to invade another parking lot. Please do not depend on other people's generosity and kindness, especially when you are not considerate enough in the first place.
3. You left out an apostrophe in the word "can't". I would have dispensed this bit of information for free as well, but too bad you were no longer there.
There you go. Students screaming at me to update my blog, and with the innumerable rubbish and nonsense I get from my students , this is the one incident which annoyed me enough to write about it here.

I don't understand why he has to do this.. another ugly Singaporean who thinks he is always right..
Hey, do write more leh, now that you are a free man! Haha.. at least for a month?
as a fellow driver on the road here are my experiences:
1. should someone reversed into your car or accidentally scratched your car, more often than not, they will just drive off. count your blessings if they really leave their contacts behind. my car got hit twice just for parking in the carpark.
2. a friend of mine got into a similar situation like yours and receieved a malicious massage that read: "park your f***ing cheap properly!" (and from that day onwards, he changed his japanese car into a mercs and nothing less.)
