Dude, you have to at least let this one slide. I'd say that there are plenty of people that spell (school) "stationery" with an "a". I reckon that's a pretty honest mistake.
Hate to be a pupil branded with "inexcusable" english for that.
Well I'll be. Had no idea. So the pepper sprayed teenagers and the snooty rich couple were all actors? What the hell man?!
Yesterday, this happened
One of the good things of starting work early is easier parking and leaving work early.
Today I parked in my normal spot with yellow lines (no parking in New Zealand) RIGHT in front of my car. Behind me someone pulled in and left a good gap.
Fast foward to leaving work. As I got closer to the car I thought 'hang on, someone is in front of me!'
Sure enough someone had parked in front of me (on the yellow lines) and left a 5cm gap between my front bumper and their back bumber. Behind me a different car was there than the one I saw in the morning was right on my bumper (saying there was 1cm gap would be far too much)
I really should have taken photos .. and called someone.
Don't really know how I got out of there without doing any damage to my bumpers - though it did take me 15 minutes of rocking to get out and onto State Highway 1.
Today this happened
Same car, same location
This time I got the Dunedin City Council involved and at least the person in front got a ticket. Thankfully the car behind wasn't as close as yesterday and with the help of the traffic warden I managed to escape, 45 minutes after I arrived at the car

Dude, that sucks so hard. Good idea getting the council involved. Any idea how much the ticket was?
$10, yep .. $10
500$ for a new paint job after you scribble wanker on his bonnet.
At no point do I endorse the deliberate damage of a persons car but this would piss me off enough to consider it after it happened twice in 2 days....![]()
Man Zippo at least your local council gave the numbnut a fine. This exact same thing happened to my sister at her local train station and our local council couldn't do anything. So it was up to me to do the work and wait for my numbnut to get in their car. I tailed them all the way home, then put a letter in the mail saying 'I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE'.
