As soon as you turn 16, you're finally able to get a driver's license. By that time, you may realize that humanity is filled with inconsiderate people, and a good chunk of them happens to be entitled to the same driver's rights you are. Can't find an open parking space during rush hour? It's probably because some horrible parker took two spots all for himself. Can't exit your garage to leave for work? We're pretty sure it's because some lazy fellow parked right in front of your house.
If there's a place where you learn that the world is brutal and unfair, that's the road! Yes, you'll experience rage and frustration of an unprecedented level, but don't worry. For every rude driver, there's a good Samaritan teaching him a lesson with a full-on windshield note, and we even made a list of them just to make your day a little bit better!
A Post-It Masterpiece
Calling this a windshield note is an understatement, for it's a masterpiece. But in the end, it's just another message to a rude driver with an added 'wow' factor. It surely seems to be way more effective than a mere few phrases written on a small piece of paper!
We guess this is what you get when you park on the handicap spot in Brazil, where internet pranksters are ready to teach you a lesson. This work of art may have taken a few hours to produce, but this driver is going to be removing post-it notes from his car for a good two or three weeks!
Do You Even Know Your Literature?
Of all the windshield notes on our list, this is the one most likely to precede a frantic Google search. It's not every day that a total stranger gets back at your horrible parking abilities by referencing a literary/women's rights icon of the 19th century.
But in case you're wondering, it's not Helen Keller's body of work that's being referenced in this note. This is most likely an allusion to Keller's inability to hear or see. After all, the great American author was both deaf and blind. It's the ultimate offense to any bad driver out there, and to be honest, to the poor soul of the praisable Helen Keller.
That Jeepers Creepers Vibe
Watch out, creepy van owners! The next time you're thinking about parking your frightful van in front of someone's house, just make sure you ask for permission. This hilarious note was written by an "easily creeped out neighbor," and we can totally relate to the worries of this overly-concerned citizen.
If there's something we don't like to see when we peek through our front window at night, that's a suspicious vehicle! You might share the same sentiments; after all, we've watched enough scary movies to know serial killers love to get around in creepy vans.
A Metaphorical Pizza
Windshield notes don't get any more mysterious than this! But if you want to leave a message to any driver, here's a pro tip: Try to use words instead of biodegradable food. Unless this is some type of sheer insult, we're pretty sure the owner of this truck is not changing his rude parking habits just because of a slice of pizza.
What a waste of food, though. That's not only a pretty big slice, but it might've also been a tasty one. The Italians didn't invent one of the world's most popular meals in the world just so you could leave it in someone's windshield! Have some respect, capisce?
The Man Of A Thousand Puns
Superheroes. We see them in blockbuster movies, we read about them in comic books, and we wonder if they will ever be real. But while we may have to wait until we finally see a real-life Superman, we can all count on this everyday superhero to fight for our parking spots and teach rude drivers a lesson.
His superpowers? A nice discount at the printer shop and an unmatched ability to make parking-spot-related puns. It's not as useful as having superhuman strength, but it does help to make the world a better place.
Not That Song Again!
Few pop songs are as addictive as Carly Rae Jepsen's unbelievably contagious "Call Me Maybe." And to make it worse, the too-catchy-to-be-healthy tune has also been the inspiration behind many memes and jokes over the last few years.
Mess a little bit with the song's lyrics, and you have an instant funny message to share with your friends and family. Or, if you're feeling angry, you can always show a little bit of Jepsen to your irresponsible neighbor who hasn't learned how to park yet, just like what this girl did.
A Good Reason To STAY Lonely
After months or maybe years of being single, you go out with one of your friends, and you tell her that you feel lonely. A couple of minutes later, you go back to your car, and you realize that being single is not that bad after all. Sitting on your windshield is a creepy message from someone who overheard you talk to your friend and decided to make a move.
And what a move! It's bold but extremely ineffective. Unless this secret admirer planned to scare this woman away, he failed miserably. Everything about this message is utterly creepy, from the wording to the shiver-inducing wink-wink.
This Game's Not Fun Anymore...
Parking tickets tend to have a different effect on people. Some act responsibly and pay for their tickets in due time. Others, well... Others simply don't care about this type of ticket at all. Needless to say, this driver is so unconcerned about being fined he's even having fun with it!
He and the traffic warden seem to share a tumultuous "friendship," and things are about to get real! Referencing the scary Jigsaw from the Saw movie saga, this horrible parker is showing 'The Man' who's boss. We don't know who won this battle in the end, but we gotta say we're not rooting for the traffic warden.
What Memes Are For
We've all been cheeky 12- to 14-year-olds passing by a dusty vehicle, and we've all done this as kids. We left a message on the rear window just to get on some stranger's nerves and impress our friends. But every time, the stranger never answered us back...
But what happens when the 14-year-old turns into a grown-up and realizes washing the car is something that takes both hard work and time? That's when karma hits. You used to have fun with dusty vehicles, didn't you? But now you're a dusty car owner yourself, and all you have left to defend your laziness is some fun Internet meme.
When You Park Too Close To a Mobster's House
The scariest thing about being threatened by a stranger is that you don't know who you're dealing with. Sure, it may be just an old and otherwise nice lady. But what if it's a bonafide gangster with a crew of cold-hearted, leg-breaking men by his side?
To avoid getting in trouble with the mob, especially if they present themselves as people with a "very particular set of skills," you may want to park your car somewhere else. Nonetheless, you have to admire the dedication of the man or woman who wrote this note, scribbling this on Microsoft Word and printing it while maintaining high levels of rage.
Smart Car, Dumb Driver
No, Johnny, driving a Smart car will not make you any smarter. To be honest, it will only make you act dumber and park in all kinds of small, forbidden spots that you'd ignore if you happened to be driving a larger car.
Now, all that's left for you to do is to contemplate the sad result of your reckless actions. At least the brick walls preventing that ride of yours from moving don't seem to be that heavy, so you and your buddy will probably be able to move them and escape the premises. Your car will be intact, but your pride... not so much.
An Artist's Dusty Canvas
Let's get back to dusty cars on the street, but this time for something different! Artists love to explore new platforms for their work, and that's precisely what Scott Wade did with dirty windshields.
Internationally known as "The Dirty Car Artist," Wade loves to paint iconic figures and artworks using nothing but multiple layers of car dust. His work was shown on TV in over 20 countries and includes portraits of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and other celebrity figures, such as soccer player Ronaldinho, Austrian genius Albert Einstein, and even Santa Claus!
Winning The Fight Against Racism
Being the only white guy in a certain area shouldn't even be an issue. But when you're the only caucasian in the neighborhood and get your U.S. flag stolen, the non-Caucasians in your community will feel like they must prevent you from being racist.
Yes, racism should be prevented from even crossing our minds, to begin with. But since the world is not a perfect place, $20 to buy a new U.S. flag and a little bit of love from your neighbors should be more than enough to restore your faith in humanity.
The Great Pretender
Sadly, societies are still mostly based on what's apparent. And sometimes, pretending to do the right thing seems better than actually doing it. Jack, the great pretender, knows all about it. He kept appearances after crashing against a parked vehicle by leaving this note on the wrecked car's windshield.
To be fair to Jack, he at least said he's sorry. But being sorry means nothing when you're merely avoiding responsibility and also pretending to be an honorable man in the process. Don't worry, Jack, karma will get you one day, and you'll get to know what it feels like to be on the receiving end of this kind of note.
A Free Spot
Dogs truly are men's best friends. Little Spot here is playing an essential role in society, helping humanity to get back at rude drivers. Whenever you park carelessly in two spots, you may get a visit from Spot the dog and think twice before you do the same the next time around.
We think we're speaking for Spot's owner when we say parking sites are not like Pokémon: You don't have to catch'em all! Parking spots are roughly an automobile's size because you're meant to use one and one only of them.
Unwanted Awards Recipient
Not all accolades are meant to make you proud. Just like winning a Razzie, landing the 'inconsiderate parkers prize' feels more like a shameful loss than a milestone. It's not the kind of award you want to put on your office cabinet; instead, it's the sort of prize you never want to win more than once.
Just like most Razzie-award-winning actors out there, we hope this rude driver has now finally accepted he needs to make a change. He's been such a horrible parker for the last month we even suspect this whole award was specially created for him...
The FYI-TMI Dilemma
People say knowledge is power, and it's totally true. But sometimes, isn't it better to simply live in ignorance? Imagine two wild animals were using your ride for a steamy mating session. Wouldn't it be better for everyone involved if you didn't even notice it?
Judging by this hilarious windshield note, some people think it wouldn't. Some folks believe they have the right to inform every stranger of everything that's going on. They say it's only FYI (for your information), but we think it's a clear case of TMI (too much information). We'll just agree to disagree...
A Lesson on Importance
To every dispute, there are always two or more points of view. And when it comes to this windshield note, we need to reflect on who's the real Mr. Important in this situation. Is it the rude person who double-parked? Or the over-sensitive note writer who cannot handle a melted ice cream?
Don't get us wrong. We support the writing of notes against bad drivers, even if they happen to drive a "flashy" Nissan Altima. But is this person really mad about a melted Saturday ice cream, or is he/she just frustrated for having to drive a Toyota Avalon?
Passive-Aggressive Parking Instructions
The next time someone asks you what the word 'patronizing' means, just show them this picture. We have nothing against this windshield note because bad drivers deserve to be patronized. After all, there's something utterly rude about taking two spots when your car fits perfectly in just one.
But this two-note message is so passive-aggressively sassy we think it may actually work. There's no greater insult to a driver than to be called "blind," and there's no greater insult to an adult than a childish instruction drawing telling them how to behave.
When Private Affairs Go Public
It looks like this man is a cheater, so he probably deserves this. Betraying the trust of someone who loves you is definitely not cool, and while there are different ways of dealing with it, we don't think this driver can say he didn't saw this coming.
Paying for your ride's new paint job is hardly a fair punishment for cheating on your wife or girlfriend. But for what it's worth, this revenge act may at least force this man to reconsider his life choices. Putting it simply: Does he still think she was worth it?
What A Burn!
Some people carry business cards with them in all instances. After all, you never know when a good business opportunity is going to come up. But other people do the same with cards containing witty messages to horrible drivers. And the reason is the same: You never know when your day will get ruined by a lousy parker!
If some irresponsible driver has just messed with your otherwise-perfect day, having a readily available solution to the problem is meant to make you feel a lot better. The better the message, the greater the satisfaction!
Looks Like a Joyous Ride
Our favorite thing about this dusty automobile artwork is how happy the driver and passenger look! Even though they're just two stick figures, their priceless expressions are so joyous we cannot avoid but feel glad by just looking at them.
This image shows that you don't need to be a great artist to make someone else happy with your art. All you need is lots of creativity and a good sense of humor. Those car windows have been needing a good wash for weeks, but now we don't want them to be cleaned ever!
Props For Braveness
All responsible car owners know this: If you don't want your car to be potentially scratched, you need to park a couple of feet away from any junkyard-ready old clunker. Why? Because nobody cares about getting a rusty clunker all scratched up!
However, you may be surprised to know some Smart drivers also don't care about their vehicles' condition. For us, it comes us a surprise. Sure, we would never trade a nice Mercedes for a Smart, but we don't think it's a bad car at all. Yet, this driver doesn't seem to agree, although he's ready to acknowledge the braveness of the guy parked in front of him.
Desperate Times Call For Desperate Measures
Based on this desperate driver's windshield note, too many traffic tickets CAN ruin your life! It's not so hard to make it if you get one per month, but three or more tickets per week? That's going to take a heavy toll on your finances, personal confidence, and general happiness.
Sure, this driver might merely be trying to get away with his horrible parking habits by appealing to the traffic warden's emotions. However, if he's pretending to be at rock bottom, he's doing an excellent job at it. That final sentence would make for some Oscar-worthy dialogue.
Snitching On Yourself
We've all seen a crime show episode in which the person who reports the crime turns out to be the criminal. Somehow, guilty people think it's an effective way of getting away with something. After all, who would be stupid enough to snitch on himself, right?
Well, this Mazda (maybe) driver from Florida may be watching too many crime shows lately. If he was trying to be funny here, he nailed it. But if he was trying to get away without actually paying for the car he wrecked, he blew it completely! Innocent people don't typically offer this many details, so good luck keeping a clean conscience!
"Bloody Sardine"
We have all sorts of preconceived notions about people. We say Americans are loud and flashy. We believe Canadians are too nice for their own sake. And we can't avoid but feel that Brits talk in the quirkiest and funniest of ways. And while preconceived notions rarely do us any good, sometimes they prove to be right.
This one-of-a-kind windshield note was either written by a Brit or by someone pretending to be one. Because no American would ever use the expression "bloody sardine" in an argument, let alone in a hurtful message to a rude driver.
Don't Know How To Park? Go Live With the Mountain Lions!
The person behind this windshield note shouldn't be using any swear words, but they still have a valuable point. Our modern-day society includes a vast number of benefits that would baffle our ancestors! And in return, so little is asked from us...
All you have to do while you live in the iPhones and supermarkets paradise is behave yourself and park responsibly. And if you can't do that, you should go back to the wild and experience what it's like to live among the mountain lions. Believe us, they will leave no windshield note before trying to eat you!
An Out Of Spite Paint Job
Getting involved with an engaged man can have unpredictable effects. Some jealous women will not confront you directly but rather attack you where it hurts the most. Your poor, blameless car can end up being the collateral damage that comes with meddling in someone else's personal life.
Sure, you cannot always choose the person you love. But if you're getting on the face of someone else's man, you better be ready to deal with the consequences. Maybe now you can ask him to pay for half of your ride's new paint job? That sounds fair.
This Driver Is Out Of Line
How inconsiderate are you when you decide to occupy two parking spots for no good reason? The lines at this parking site are clear, and unless you're doing this on purpose, there's no explanation for parking like that.
Luckily enough, a brave stranger was passing by with some handy chalk in his pocket. He was then able to draw this very exclusive parking spot aimed only at rude drivers and terrible parkers. Fortunately, there were enough empty parking spots around for everybody to find a place. But during a more crowded afternoon, this bold rude move should be enough to start a riot.
