Windscreen wars: Is West Midlands home to the UK’s angriest note?

The UK is renowned for its hatred of confrontation, and nothing sums this up better than leaving a passive aggressive note on a driver’s windscreen to remark on their bad parking, whether that be their inability to park within the lines or some seriously inconsiderate car parking abandonment.

To celebrate this quirky British trait, used car supermarket, The Car People, has launched a search to find some of the angriest and funniest notes left on driver’s cars, and is inviting drivers in West Midlands to submit their examples.

The used car supermarket, which currently has four UK sites is asking drivers to submit a picture of the angriest, funniest and most ludicrous note that has been left on their car or that they have left for someone else, for the chance to win a £100 Love2Shop voucher.

Jonathan Allbones, director at The Car People, said: “Most drivers have at one time or another experienced a moment of frustration with an inconveniently parked car. Lately we are seeing more and more people responding to this frustration by leaving an ‘angry note’ on the car that’s causing the irritation. These notes are often shared on social media and can sometimes provide entertainment.

“We want to find great examples of some of the angriest, wittiest and silliest notes that people leave each other.”
