Tried leaving a polite note on a bad parker's windshield, got screamed at instead

Saw a BMW taking up two spots at the Walmart on Miller Road last Saturday. Figured I'd be nice and leave a friendly note suggesting they park better. Came back 10 minutes later and the owner was waiting by my car yelling about how I had no right to touch their vehicle. Learned my lesson - never interact with these people in person, just take the picture and move on. Has anyone else had a bad experience trying to talk to someone about their parking?

Haven't you ever accidentally parked a little crooked after a long day and just wanted to grab your stuff quick, no harm meant? A note on a windshield feels like a shot in the dark, and people get real hostile when they feel judged without warning (especially in a Walmart lot). Honestly, if someone left a note on my car without seeing me struggle through traffic first, I'd probably be steamed too.

Right, and that Walmart lot vibe is real - half the spaces aren't even lines, they're suggestions. I've seen people leave notes that end up getting them keyed, so your mileage may vary on whether it's worth the risk.

You key someone's car over a parking note, that's next level crazy.
