A worker was left “heartbroken” after finding a strange “parking ticket” printed on his car while picking up his children from school.
The worker parked his work vehicle across a parking space outside a pub in Woodvale in Perth’s north on Wednesday.
As they walked to pick up their children at a nearby school, the typewritten bill with a long, elaborate message fell under the windshield wiper.
They returned to their children and found a note that sarcastically said, “Thanks for the way you park your car, you ignorant bastard.”
The fake parking ticket was printed on a ticket-shaped piece of paper and dated with a pen.
“This is not a ticket, but if it were in my power, I would get two. Due to your stubborn, inconsiderate and weak attempt to park, you have taken up enough space for a team of 20 mules, 2 elephants, 1 goat and a safari of pygmies from the African interior,” the note reads.
‘The reason I’m giving you this is so that in the future you can think of someone else besides yourself.’
The note ended with a cruel wish that the worker would have car trouble on the way home.
“Thanks for the way you park your car, you ignorant moron,” reads the mock parking ticket.

“To say I’m heartbroken is an understatement,” the worker wrote on social media in response to the fine.
‘Also, I don’t like drivers who are domineering, selfish or simple-minded and you probably fit into one of those categories.
‘I sign to wish you a speedy transmission failure (on a motorway at around 4.30pm). Also, may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits.’
It seems that similar notepads can be purchased online.
However, the counterfeit bill came at the wrong time for Perth’s father.
“To say I’m heartbroken is an understatement,” they wrote on social media.
“As a single mother who works hard to provide her children with the best education and to be embarrassed for where I park, I am speechless.”
The worker admitted that his vehicle was longer than normal cars and that he needed to park it “lengthwise” in small parking spaces.
“If a parent from our school put this note on my windshield, I hope they take a closer look,” the parent wrote.
Other social media users were divided, with some attacking owners of large cars.
“It’s fantastic to be so entitled that you think taking up multiple bays is acceptable just because you chose to drive a tank,” wrote one local.
“To be fair, parking a truck or trailer in five bays in that spot at that time of day is a shitty move,” said another.
Others, however, criticised the ticket distributor for being “shameful”.
“If it were me, I’d laugh. Honestly, it’s not worth wasting time on this. However, they obviously have a lot of free time to do something so insignificant.
“Either that or they’re just bored,” one said.
