A WAR between two neighbours kicked off after one left a series of passive aggressive notes on the other’s car.
The driver, who recently moved into the new flat, was left scratching her head when she discovered the Post-it notes on her vehicle.

The first of the series of notes boldly said: “RESPECT YOUR NEIGHBOUR. Stop parking in their paid, assigned spot. It’s just rude!”
But the driver decided not to move her car, since she was sure she was in fact in the correct space.
That’s when the mystery neighbour began leaving more notes.
“I’ve tried to be kind but you ignored my note,” the second said.
“You could’ve been towed a week ago. PLEASE let me park in the spot I’ve had for years. THX [sic].”
And the neighbour continued their tirade with the next note, which read: “NOT YOUR SPOT PLEASE STOP taking it! THANK YOU.”
“I PAY FOR THIS SPOT and would like to use it. Please and thank you,” they added in a fourth.
After sharing the notes on Reddit, the driver decided to check with the real estate office to see if they were in the wrong or not.
But they confirmed she was parking in the right space, which was allocated to her flat.
They explained: “I took their notes off and placed a note on my own windshield saying something to the effect of ‘I checked with the office and this is my spot. You should check with them too.'”
After leaving the note they noticed it had vanished from their neighbour’s car, and no new notes appeared.
At this point, fellow Reddit users were left baffled as to why the neighbour thought the spot was theirs.
The consensus was that the neighbour must’ve been parking in the wrong space for years and either didn’t realise or forgot about it.
“If I was wrong and did this, I would be so embarrassed and offer up an apology and probably a gift,” one person commented on the viral post.
“The irony of being mad someone took the spot that you’ve actually been the one stealing,” a second added.
But not everyone was convinced it was such an honest mistake – even if the notes were slightly passive aggressive.
Some thought the neighbour knew the space wasn’t theirs, but since they’d been in it so long they didn’t want to leave.
“They just feel entitled to this spot even though it isn’t assigned to them,” one said.
“Seems like someone just parked there for free since the complex hadn’t sold it.
“Now they’re sad to see it go and were hoping that you were parking there for free, too,” another mused.
