Driver finds crude note on their parked car - but are they really 'inconsiderate'?

A mother slammed by another driver for her 'inconsiderate' parking has hit back after an abusive note was left on her windscreen.

Danielle Giornandi, 34, from Surrey, UK, had left her 4WD in a public car park in the rural town of Godalming on February 27 before returning to find a message tucked under her window wiper.

"You might want to be more considerate of others next time and not park like a p****!" the note read.

A stunned Ms Giornandi took to Facebook with a series of photos of her vehicle in the spot, questioning if her parking had actually been out of line.

"Some people park terribly, but most of us do as well as we can. This is my parking. Fully within the space," she wrote in the Godalming & Villages Community Board Facebook group.

"Enough room for people to get in and out, room in the front, room in the back. Not sure how much better you can park here, maybe turn my wheels in a bit more.

"I get back to the car and get this [note]! Like honestly...?"

Ms Giornandi also noted that the spaces at the Crown Court car park are notoriously small and have prompted several complaints before.

"The spaces at Crown Court are tiny. People have complained and reported to the council numerous times," she told UK news site Get Surrey.

Despite the size of the spots, which she says hamper people with larger cars or disabilities, Ms Giornandi said the note left for her was a step too far.

"Leaving a note like that was uncalled for though, I'd tried as hard as I could within the parameters given to me,' she said.

Dozens of Facebook users echoed Ms Giornandi, with many struggling to find fault with her effort.

"I'm 45 and I don't think I have ever parked a car as neatly as that and doubt I ever will!" one user admitted.

"Looks like textbook parking to me," another wrote.
