I popped into Leatherhead today and parked the car up a small side street for half an hour. I got back and found a traffic cone on the roof with a note tucked under the wiper written on a folded in half sheet of A4.

The note said.

Why have you parked here when there was a cone on this space.

Thanx to you I have had to pay to park and I leave here. (leave was underlined three times :rolleyes:)

I hope you have a ****y day

Resident of "whatever street it was".



I wrote back to them on the bottom half of the sheet and selotaped it to the cone.

There wasn't a cone here when I parked.

This is a public highway so I can park where ever the **** I want.

Just because you live here doesnt mean you own the road. (live underlined three times)

I am having a wonderful day thanks and your note brought a smile to my face. Idiot.


I appreciate that parking must be a bit of a nightmare for the resident but leaving some filthy cone on my roof was no answer.
 
Don't park there ever again but the person was clearly a tool.

I LIVE IN THIS RUBBISHY STREET SO I OWN THE SPACE OUTSIDE MY ROAD blah blah blah.
 
I occasionally have to go to Leatherhead for courses, it is a total ghetto

Best bet would be to get your car fitted with a proximity alarm that activates flame throwers
 
No damage to the paintwork, not that I would really be all that bothered to be honest but its the principle of the thing. Judging by the hand writing I would guess that whoever wrote it was female.

No residents only parking either, I did check before replying.
 
We used to have a street like that where I used to work in Staines.....

One time - Someone painted a Yellow line across the side of all the cars that were parked on the road!!

LOLZ. Excellent. I would have done more or less exactly the same.
 
I would have been tempted to pinch their cone.

Once I was looking for parking on a busy street near where I was living in Bristol. I found a space but it had 2 bins blocking it so I just assumed it was someone trying to claim it as theirs, so I moved them and parked. When I returned the next day I felt a bit bad because there was a huge skip that had been placed about 15meters down the road from the space and people were carrying rubbish to it from the house I'd parked outside. I felt the evil eyes as I got in my car and sped off!!!

Great reply :D

Don't park there again but make sure you move the cone whenever you drive past ;)
 
Cant beleive that they would put the cone on top of your car. There has been a lot of disputes in our street over parking. Some residents have been putting cones out to stop members of the local Bowling Club parking there.
At the end of the day, no matter how it can sometimes be frustrating to have no where to park outside our house, there is nothing we can do, at the end of the day, first come first served :D
