I turned into the spot I'd chosen; to my left, was a minivan. Its front and rear passenger doors were open, and a woman was standing in the doorway getting children out of the car.
To my right was the last space in the row, occupied by a very small car--like a Mini Cooper. Tiny clown car. It was parked waaaaay to the right side of its space, right near the curb.
So, to make room for the family on my left, and taking advantage of the space left by the tiny car on my right, I parked about 8 inches away from the extended open door to my left. Perfect fit all around, and as I said the parking lot was mostly empty in any case.
I went in to the library...browsed...decided, as I often do, that I probably have something at home to read, instead...picked up the book that was waiting for Hubby...went out to my car.
Where I found a napkin, tucked under my windshield wiper. Written on the napkin, in big capital letters:
"YOU ASSHOLE;
PARK YOUR SHIT
BETWEEN THE
LINES---
NOT ON THEM
LAST WARNING"
I looked around: No one seemed to be watching my car. And, just as it had been when I arrived, the parking lot was mostly empty.
I'm not at all sure what the "warning" means. Should I bring the napkin to the library security guard and ask him to protect me and my car from violent threats?
Just, you know, FYI: Sometimes, when you come across a car parked in a strange position, it is because that was a safer, more courteous position than the traditional. Not everyone is intentionally parking to irritate.
Also FYI: My name is not Asshole. It is Christine.
Nice ta meetcha.
And the SOTD: Mom bought these, can't wear them, handed them off. Not my usual style, but comfy.

I bet there were still loads of other spaces when he left that note too.
Wow. I didn't realize such angry people visited the library. I always think about how I should go to the library more often but maybe not!
And actually quit cute...
Lovely....the author most likely had just visited the self help aisle.... ; )
