A landlord has been slammed after leaving a note attacking people who parked on his street in spaces he wanted to use for limousines, VIP guests and household staff.
The typewritten letter was allegedly left on a vehicle along Godfrey Terrace in Leabrook, in Adelaide’s east, asking the “non-resident” to stop parking on the street.
The local claimed the driver had “created problems” by taking away a parking space from his gardener, cleaner and visiting friends.
And they warned them not to park there in the coming weeks because they had several events they needed space for.
“We have several celebrations, including a VIP event, coming up and prefer that your car not be parked in front of our pedestrian gate, especially so that the two limousines can park well in front of our house,” the note said.
A privileged homeowner was criticized by social media users for asking a driver not to park on a public road so he could park limousines outside his home (pictured).
But the note may have had the opposite effect after it was posted on social media, with the street now under threat of being targeted by strangers who deliberately park on the street.
“I have an unused car in my garage and I am ready to donate it to such a great cause,” said one. Instagram the user wrote.
“I’m willing to drive from Canberra for the cause,” said another.
Other users called the letter passive-aggressive and were furious that it read “like entitlement bingo.”
“The worst part is they ask people not to park on the other side of the road, as if they own both sides,” one user wrote.
“Appealing to someone’s better nature to free up more space for your limos seems counterproductive,” wrote a second.
A third wrote: “If you ever needed an example of ‘First World problems’, this would be it.”
The letter was left on a car on Godfrey Terrace in Leabrook, Adelaide (pictured), and criticized the driver for taking a parking space from his gardener and cleaner.
Some users took the homeowner’s side, saying they were fed up with people occupying spaces outside their homes.
“The fact that they park their car in the middle of the square, which can fit two cars if parked carefully, really pisses me off,” one wrote.
Another asked: “Is there anything worse than permanently parking in front of your house”?
“I could never park in front of my house or invite anyone over because the house on the corner had three generations and six cars living there always filling the street,” they wrote.
