‘Lazy’ motorist branded ‘moron’ in aggressive observe however folks level out mistake
A woman was “bewildered” when she returned to her car to find an aggressive note blasting her parking.
Sally Lambourne had parked in a new bay allocated for electric car charging in her home town of Rhos on Sea, North Wales, which has yet to have the charging points installed. But the abusive pre-printed note branding her “lazy” and a “moron,” accused her of parking in a disabled space.
It read: “What a thoughtless driver you are! Just because you are too lazy to park in an ordinary space you have deprived someone who is genuinely needful of the disabled space to have to park elsewhere and walk with difficulty. You moron.”

The message ends with a small image of a disabled sign.
Sally who runs Ark Antiques in Rhos on Sea shared photographs of the note and her car parked in the bay on the Rhos on Sea Community Facebook Group.
She posted: “Thank you for the very helpful note that was so graciously placed on cars that were parked at Rhos on Sea front today. Signed by someone called ‘You Moron.’
“If however, you had taken the time to actually look at the spaces you would have noted that these are in fact electric charging spaces. Not Disabled Spaces. Thank you.”
Speaking exclusively to the Daily Star, Sally said: “When I got back to my car, I was amused and bewildered.

“It actually made me laugh when I first read it as it’s a reflection on who sent it, but also the anonymous status is cowardly, so I thought I’d share the joy with Rhos on Sea’s community Facebook group.
“My post has gained well over 800 responses and over 125 comments. I never expected that.”
She added: “I own the little antiques shop across the road, Ark Antiques with my sister, Sarah.
“We’ve nearly completed our shop front after a burglary in March, which was pretty devastating.

“The local community have been so lovely and supportive so I thought I’d share this heartfelt note with them as a bit of fun.
“I would never park in a designated disabled bay or an EV charging space as that isn’t acceptable. I guess this is something the note sharer is very passionate about which is why it’s confusing that it’s anonymous, stand by your convictions.
“We’ve now framed the note in our shop window as a bit of fun.”
Among the many comments on the post, one wrote: “I do hope they are on this site and are able to see this.”

Another said: “Ha ha they have pre printed notes do they must do this often.”
One added: “Looking like this moron has a pocket full of these typed messages just waiting to be left.. how thoughtful.”
While one remarked: “Needs to go to Specsavers.”
Another said: “He needs to retake his theory test, especially the road signs bit.
“I can’t see any problem with all cars parking there at the moment because the charging posts haven’t been positioned.”
