- I'd have to agree with this sentiment and would like to suggest an alternative
- to doing some sort of physical vandalism to the offender's car....
- I've always wanted to have a set of cards printed up that could be used for
- situations to the one mentioned originally in the "Asshole Driver Award"
- thread. The card would have several items listed on it that could be checked
- off. Like the following:
-
- __ HEY DIPSHIT!! You parked in the Handicapped space!
-
- __ Why did you have to take up TWO parking places?
-
- __ Did you know that it's illegal to block someone's driveway?
-
- __ I notice that you have out-of-state plates and that you've parked
- here every day for the last __ months. Would you like to get
- your vehicle registered in WA or have it reported to the WSP?
-
- I'm sure that others out there could come up with a few more, but these are
- just some that bug me at times. This could be printed on a card the size of
- a business card that you could carry in your wallet/purse and have ready at a
- moment's notice. It's an easy way to let off some steam without actually
- doing anything illegal. Of course if the person whose windshield you leave
- this on is doing any of these things, he/she will probably ignore your little
- note.
