A parking space war between neighbours has escalated into the pair exchanging passive aggressive notes on one of their car windscreens.
The angry driver, looking for a space on a street in Crouch End, London, felt the need to take action when he saw that his neighbour had parked over two spaces.
Leaving a note on his neighbour’s windscreen, he wrote: ‘Your selfish inconsiderate parking is atrocious.’ He then went on to accuse the other driver of parking in the middle of two bays and ‘wasting space’.
But he was firmly put in his place as the accused car owner responded in an equally passive aggressive manner.

In a picture posted on Reddit of the notes, the owner of the parked car wrote: ‘To whoever put the note here and the one before that, has it ever occurred to you that I might have parked very considerately behind a car in the only space provided, and that subsequently the other cars moved away leaving my car where it was?
‘From now on, please take note: I always park as considerately as I am able to in the space there is.
‘Kindly stop putting passive aggressive notes on my car. PS. If you had the courtesy to let me know which house you are in, I could have explained this in person.
‘If you would like to have a civilised discussion about this instead of making me feel like I am being harassed by an unseen stranger, please drop by, or at least drop a note in my door letting me know which door I can post a response into, instead of making me feel like I have a primary school feud.’
Ian Crowder, a spokesman for the AA said that arguments over parking were becoming an increasing occurrence as roads become more congested.

He told the Evening Standard: ‘Drivers need to exercise common courtesy, this kind of occurrence is not uncommon and parking is one of the issues that cause drivers the most annoyance.
‘Everybody is in the same boat and as the roads are becoming increasingly congested there is no excuse for this kind of behaviour it really is important for drivers to remain considerate.’
