'Who even does that?: Aussie's parking mistake prompts petty revenge

"Any normal person would leave a note under the windscreen wiper!" Do you think this is taking things a little too far? 

Driver furious over parking note—Because the sticker's now stuck on their car

An Aussie driver made a common parking mistake, which prompted a stranger to take revenge and leave her in a very sticky situation. 

Bianca Leigh explained that the incident started a few days ago when she parked her car behind a clinic where she works.

"Who actually does that?"

"Normally, no one ever parks there anyway," she admits in a TikTok clip.

"I finished with the day, I get to my car and there’s a note on my car that says 'Please don’t park here, you've taken my spot. If you want this spot let me know and you can rent it out, otherwise read the signs'."

She acknowledges that she probably shouldn't have parked there but still doesn't think she deserved this sort of revenge, because this wasn't your typical passive-aggressive note left under the windscreen wiper.

Someone had actually made a sticker out of the typed A4 letter and stuck it onto the window of her car. 

"They stuck a sticker on my car window!!!" Bianca explains, "and when I've gone to take it off, it's like fully stuck on."

"What the hell? Who actually does that?" she said, before asking her followers if she was in the wrong or if the other person had "taken it too far."

Commenters say it's "super weird"

Commenters agreed that while she was in the wrong, making a sticker is a bizarre response and not fitting of the crime.

"You're in the wrong, but it’s super weird they used a sticker," said one person.

"Who would even do that?" another asked.

Others flooded the post with suggestions on how to clean off the sticky residue, with ideas including:

  • Orange Power
  • Eucalyptus oil
  • Turpentine
  • WD-40
  • Razer blade
  • Soapy warm water and scraper
  • Pressure washes on an angle
  • Windex

So, did she get it off?

After taking the advice of one commenter, Bianca bought some Orange Power from Woolworths and managed to remove the remains of the note.

However, she then decided that "now it's payback time", and said she wanted to give the person a taste of their own medicine.

"My friend has a sticker machine, so I'm going there now to get a sticker made so I can see how they like it," she revealed.

In the final clip of the series so far, she films herself creating a sticker on metallic silver paper that reads, "Sorry for parking in your car spot. I hope this sticker is super annoying."

I guess we'll have to wait patiently for updates, as the sticker drama shows no signs of slowing down!
