OK I admit it I am guilty of trying to mold all drivers around me into my image and likeness.
I appear to be surrounded by drivers of cars that don’t seem to be capable of Parking Their Cars between the Parking Spot Lines in parking lots. This seems to a crusader like me to be Grossly Careless, Exceedingly Stupid and Not Nice.
I am a Noticer of Epic Proportions who can’t help but want to do something about this. Years ago I took the bull by the horns and I started doing this...
Ø I
printed up business sized cards on my computer with this message on them...
Ø When I saw a car which had been parked by someone who was not in my image and likeness beyond the lines of his parking spot I stuck one of these cards into the side of the driver’s window.
Ø I walked away confident that when the driver returned he would have thanked me (if I were there) for my efforts to help him be a Better Parking Person.
I know everyone can’t be as considerate as I am but I always try to do what I can to help others improve.

Yesterday I got a note stuck in my car window. I know you are dying to know what kind of note I got so I will not keep you waiting...
I have a Car License Plate issued by the State of Georgia that tells the world that I served in the Vietnam War. It appears that a Vietnamese Fellow Citizen saw that plate and went to all the trouble of handwriting a note for me to read when I returned. It was not a Wise Guy note like mine. It was a Nice Note...
Wow! See what I mean about nice!
I sure hope he was not a “victim” of one of my Wise Guy Parking Spot Notes at any time in the past.
I probably should not worry about that because I feel confident that all Nice People certainly know how to fit their cars between the lines. It just not that hard...Or is it?
Would I kid u?
