A MAN has revealed that his neighbour often leaves lunatic notes on people’s cars and has even interrogated his girlfriend over her parking.
If that wasn’t bad enough, the angry man, who is said to be in his early 50s, has also gone for his child’s teenage pal too.
A frustrated homeowner took to social media to give people a close-up look at an angry letter from his strange neighbour, leaving many open-mouthed.
Posting on Reddit, on the r/mildlyinfuriating thread, the anonymous man, who is from Seattle, US, and writes under the username @Striking_Nudibranch, titled his post ‘Neighbour doesn’t want anyone parking parallel to him on the opposite(!) side of the street.’
He then explained: “I live in a quiet residential neighborhood. Our streets are narrow, but plenty of space for people to park on both sides of the street.”
Alongside a snap of the rude note, he continued: “This showed up on my daughter’s friend’s car this morning.”
The short but stern note read: ‘I don’t wanna see this car park parallel side to side to the white car’.
Not only this, but the Reddit user then added: “The neighbour has taken it to be his personal mission to put notes on anyone’s car that parks across the street from him.
“He approached my girlfriend after sitting in his car and waiting 15 minutes for her to finish a phone call… interrogating her about where she lives, and saying he never wants to see her parked there again.
“The dude is in his early 50s. He’s never said anything to me directly.”
Eager for guidance on what to do next, the man, who described his neighbour’s actions as “lunacy”, asked: “Any advice on the best way to tell this guy to f**k off?”
Not only this, but he then confessed: “I’m inclined to just go knock and tell him I’m going to continue allowing my guests to park in front of my house, and take it from there.”
Reddit users were left open-mouthed by the man’s post and many eagerly flocked to the comments to share their thoughts on the strange situation.
One person said: “Call the police and show them the note and tell them this dude is harassing you and your guests. If he continues, see about getting a restraining order or something.”
To this, the Reddit author replied: “I was considering cops but also didn’t want to inflame the situation.
“I’d rather not have a petty battle with someone across the street. That said, he’s a renter, and I own… maybe I can get in touch with his landlord?”
Another added: “Let’s be honest, this person is looking for confrontation with this absurd note. No rational person would do this. Better to make sure this goes on record.”
I’m mostly concerned that he’s making my loved ones feel unsafe in their home

Meanwhile, a third commented: “Remind him that street parking is public and people can park there.
“If he keeps harassing your visitors, tell them to ignore him but then you can let him know you’ll be calling the non-emergency police line to address his issues.”
At the same time, one stunned person gasped: “That person is dangerous.”
One study by Compare the Market revealed the top reason British neighbour's argue
To this, the Reddit user responded: “That’s what my girlfriend is saying. She’s asking me not to do anything.
“If it wasn’t for her and my kids, I’d have no problem getting really serious about being as petty as humanly possible – like renting a 20 foot residential dumpster for a month and dropping it right across from him.”
As well as this, the worried father later admitted: “I’m mostly concerned that he’s making my loved ones feel unsafe in their home.
“My son heard me talking to my daughter about it and got really anxious when I said I was going to talk to him.
“It’s a fine line. I don’t want my kids to think they should live in the shadow of a bully… but I don’t want to have the situation escalate.”

THIS is the heartbreaking first picture of a dad-of-six and grandfather-of-nine who died after being hit by a truck last week.
Gerard Maloney, who was aged in his 90s, died after the bike he was riding collided with a truck on the N59 near Moycullen in Co Galway at around 12pm on Thursday afternoon.
The pensioner was brought by ambulance to University Hospital Galway, where he was sadly pronounced dead a short time later.
A notice online told how the Galway native was “taken suddenly”, adding that he is predeceased by his “beloved wife” Nóirín, sisters Sally, Nora, Kitty and Esther and by his brothers Dominic, Patsy, Peter and Mattie.
It added that Gerard is “loved and mourned” by his sons, daughters, brother, sons-in-law, daughter-in-law, “cherished grandchildren”, nieces and nephews, the extended family, friends and neighbours.
Tributes have poured in for Gerard since his tragic passing, with one mourner telling how he was a “pleasant man who loved his daily cycle”.
Another said: “Gerard was just the most special soul — his cheeky smile, kind heart, and sparkle in his eye will forever be remembered and cherished. We are sending you all our love and are just so very sorry for your tremendous loss.”
A third person remembered Gerard as a “gentleman” and a “good friend” whilst his nieces and nephews said: “Our dear Uncle Gerard, young at heart, mind and body – you filled the room with your energetic spirit and warmth.
“We will miss you, love you and cherish the special moments shared last year forever.”
Gerard’s niece added: “A beloved uncle, one of nature’s gentlemen, who kept up that wonderful zest for living until he was taken so suddenly. A legend and role model.
“I will never forget his kindness to Mum and his warmth to all of us. Rest peacefully Uncle Gerard. You must be soaring high with the angels, reunited with your darling Noirin.”
Gerard will repose at the O’Flaherty Funeral Parlour in Galway city from 5pm to 7pm on Tuesday before a requiem mass at 11am on Wednesday in St Joseph’s Church.
Garda Forensic Collision Investigators conducted a technical examination of the scene of the collision on the N59 on Thursday.
Officers have urged anyone who may have any information to come forward.
In a statement, a garda spokesperson said: “Gardai are appealing for any witnesses to this collision to come forward.
“Any road users who were on the N59 in the Clydagh area between 11:45am and 12:05pm and may have camera footage (including dash-cam) are asked to make this footage available to Gardaí.
“Anyone with any information is asked to contact Salthill Garda Station on 091 514720, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda station.”
An Garda Siochana confirmed that a total of 24 people have lost their lives on Irish roads so far this year.
This is down from the figure of 36 during the same period of 2024.
Over the weekend, a five-year-old boy and a man in his 70s both lost their lives in two separate collisions in Co Laois while a 26-year-old man died in a quad bike crash in Co Westmeath.
ALEX SCOTT has stunned in a bold outfit at the London Fashion Week.
The BBC pundit has been enjoying the event and has already been in attendance with partner Jess Glynne.
Scott, 40, regularly shows off some incredible outfits when attending glitzy events.
But this time, she opted for a more unusual look as she wore a spiky hooded jacket.
It is a creation by Asian-American designer Chet Lo and was featured a London Fashion Week last year.
The jacket is a part of the designer’s “Terracotta” collection and features the brand’s iconic spikes.
The former Lioness paired the item with a grey skirt, tights and black-heeled shoes.
She could be seen beaming as she arrived for the fashion show.
Scott was also joined by British athlete Imani-Lara Lansiquot for the runway.
Lansiquot, 27, mainly competes in the 100m but claimed silver in the 4x100m at the Paris Olympics last year.
She stunned in a glimmering full-length dress.
Scott did post on social media to hail designer LABRUM who uses trends to tell West African narratives.
She wrote: “Yess, LABRUM London absolutely smashed it once again.”
Scott saw rapper Wretch 32 and rapper and writer Akala perform in her previous appearance.
She and Glynne looked loved up as they were snapped in trendy long coats.
They have been dating since 2023 and recently moved in with each other.
Scott told The Times: “I wake up next to my partner, Jess, who has become the same person as me over the past year and a half.
“She can see what going to the gym does for me mentally, so she’ll do the same.
“I love seeing [Jess] thrive, I didn’t want to be photographed with Rihanna because I wanted the spotlight to be on Jess.”
Perhaps the most baffling contradiction of Naruto is how genetics, which was a huge element in developing powerful characters throughout the series, was excluded in the latter half of the story.

A BANK giant with 14million customers is making a big change to accounts from today.
HSBC will reduce the interest rates on its easy-access Premier Savings account today, February 24.
The rate for balances below £50,000 will drop from 1.98% to 1.74%.
And that is not all, HSBC has said the rates on this savings account will again change in April.
In two months, the interest will drop from 1.74% to 1.98%.
An easy access savings account lets you get your hands on your cash without restrictions.
There is usually no charge for withdrawing money from your account.
HSBC’s Premier Savings account is only available to those who qualify for its Premier banking services.
Typically, customers must have £50,000 already in an HSBC account or make £100,000 a year.
HSBC will also lower the rates on its more accessible Flexible Saver account from 1.49% to 1.34% on April 17.
A flexible savings account allows you to save and access your money without a fixed term.
You can deposit and withdraw money as often as you like.
At 1.34%, HSBC’s offer is at the lower end of what is on the market.
Chip Instant Access Account offers a 4.85% AER, with a minimum deposit of £1.
Meanwhile, Hargreaves Lansdown offers 4.51% AER, and the minimum deposit is also £1.
It comes after the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), the BoE’s rate-setters reduced the base rate from 4.75% to 4.5% earlier this month.
The base rate is used by lenders to determine the interest rates offered to customers on savings and borrowing costs.
A base rate cut can mean that mortgage rates are lowered, which is good news for homeowners.
But savers can be left with the short end of the stick as the interest rate they earn on their savings can also drop.
Markets are expecting the base rate to drop as low as 4% by the end of the year, which would see the interest rate on the Saver account reduce even further.
Of course, if the base rate increases again then the account will mirror this.
Numerous banks have been cutting their savings rates following the Bank of England’s decision.
Barclays slashed the rates on its Everyday Saver and Rainy Day saver accounts.
For the Everyday Saver, the interest rate has been lowered from 1.51% to 1.26% on balances up to £10,000.
The Rainy Day Saver, which is for Barclays Blue Rewards members and Premier Banking customers, is reducing its rate from 5.12% to 4.87%.
Many savings accounts offer miserly rates meaning that money is generating little or no return.
However, there are ways to get your cash working hard. Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to make sure you money is getting the best interest rate.
Easy access savings accounts offer flexibility for customers, meaning they can dip in and out of cash when needed. However, the caveat is that rates can change at any time.
If you’re keeping your money in an easy access account, you’ll need to keep checking whether it’s the best paying account for your circumstances and move if not.
Check in at least once a month to see what is happening in the market.
Check what is offered by your bank – sometimes the best rates are for customers only.
But do search the wider market as often top savings accounts are offered by lesser known providers.
Comparison sites are a good place to check for the top rates. Try Moneyfactscompare.co.uk or Moneysupermarket.
You can search by different account type. You’ll usually get a better interest rate if you can lock your money away for a fixed amount of time, but it’s always a good idea to keep some money in an easy access account in case of emergencies.
Don’t overlook regular savings accounts often pay some of the best rates, but you’ll need to commit to monthly payments. This can be a great way to get into a savings habit while earning top rates at the same time.
