Sardine Parking Job
FOUND by Jordan Stabile
in Boston, Massachusetts
I manage to live without a car, which is probably a good idea in this city. I found this note on the sidewalk after getting off the subway.

This is PURE Boston! It capture's this city's essense.
I too live in Boston without a car and it's the only way I've managed to stay alive, I think!
I had a note left on my car it said, Your parking sucks!
I've left an eerily similar note on a couple of cars in the greater Boston area. This one's not mine (the handwriting is way off and the wording is slightly different), but it's nice to know that others are just as frustrated as I am.
My brother called me the a few weeks ago. I'm in Kentucky, but he lives in Boston. He was really depressed cause someone left him a mean note like this at his apartment building. No one ever even parks by him!
I think this is the standard phrase to use when someone parks too close to you. Where's the creativity?
"ASSHOLE" should *always* be written in all caps.
Once in Chicago, in a borrowed car with Texas tags (long story) I had to squeeze into an incredibly tight spot for some big event - a fair or something, i don't remember - because the alternative was parking eons away. when I got back to my car, I found a note that said "you park like a texas asshole". Still funny, and I don't blame him. It sucks to be in that position.
I got a note like this in front of the courthouse...it said "F" for the day. You need more practice parking. If only I had time for parking.
This is classic. I have left notes similar to this on cars. Not to mention the nasty notes I have left before on my dashboard for meter people to see: "Don't tow or ticket me. Its not my fault this City doesn't have enough parking." Maybe I'm the ASSHOLE? Meh. Oh well.
I recently left the following note on a car, which turned out to belong to a friend helping another friend in my building move:
"When you parked your car, to your left you may have noticed a large paved area with cars in it – that’s a parking lot.
You may have also noticed (again, to your left) a large opening in the chain link fence. That would be the entrance to the parking lot, which your car is now blocking."
Lol this is hilarious!! I live in Cambridge, man I would never want to have a car living in the city!
hehehe So great!
Ah ha! This is clearly a reference to the back cover of Found Magazine #1. Almost verbatum. Love it.
I'm a fan of, "I hope you don't fuck like you park - you'll never get it in."
Thanks for the laugh, Noetry!! I will definitely remember that one.
haha, I haven't left a note on anybody's car YET but this definately sounds like something I would say (maybe i'll keep it for future reference)
nice rage
I think now i'm going to find a car well-parked and leave them a nice note, and see if it ends up on here. ;-)
Nate, that is so true. Check out http://www.foundmagazine.com/comments/949 for validation.
haha, does anyone notice that they use p for for and that a can opener would be no help... maybe some pliers, or like a wedge
I think they might like a gorilla pry bar rather than a can opener, for prying their car out.
I feel like a jerk.
I have probably left plenty of "Nice parking asshole" notes on windshields. I may have even prewritten a few.
I have left nice notes too though.
One time they keyed my car so I guess we all get our karma.
