Rude Bitch
FOUND by Glenn Cooper
in Sydney, Australia
I found this note on the road near Central station. In a way it encapsulates what's wrong with today's society: the notion that two wrongs make a right.

Should have just pulled out your glock and shot the bitch in the face
you mean... that's NOT the way to handle shitty situations?
wow. what rock have I been hiding under?
i feel like a bad person now. my initial reaction was to laugh.
I totally agree, if a woman hits your car there's really only one thing to do...
this encapsulates what's RIGHT with today's society
it's got an exclamation mark and a full stop - in the right places!
and even - wait for it - a comma!

Signed, Vengeful Bitch
So who's the rude bitch now, huh? HUH? That's right!
This note gave me flashbacks of when "Road Rage Bitch" enters into my body. And I start screaming at stupid people in my car. I'm a nice normal sweet girl, I shouldn't use so many F words.
Ugh, did she actually see the person, that's why I don't park next to fucked up cars, what if it was the previous person that did it?
Good on her. She knew that just slamming the door wouldn't give enough vengeful satisfaction, so she took the extra step to make it worthwhile. Revenge is under appreciated.
This surely counts as a passive-aggressive note, no? I mean, did he/she actually *see* the rude bitch do it and walk away? In which case, why didn't he/she shout 'Hey!' or 'Oi!' (or in England, of course, 'Erm... excuse me...' [in a very small voice, turning bright red with embarrassment])
Jonathan, the Canadian response would have been similar.."I'm sorry, you scratched my car with yours." and then we would have offered to help each other out, and settled it over a beer.
Yes that is the way to handle it. Vandalize a car then put it in writing so there is proof out there.
And the use of the word slammed...
Was the person so angry that they slammed the car door open, what kind of really bad day are they having, that they need that much force to open a car door.
I get Glenn's point about society, and I get why the letter writer is so ticked off. Here's the real question: what the hell should you do when your door swings out and hits another car? I have that squirmy angst of "What do I do now?" You feel bad, and yet would you actuaslly file an insurance claim over a slight scratch? Leave a note? A check? A gift certificate for ice cream?
I would personally love to catch the four different people who, in the last three years (most recently last week), have scraped both of my rear fenders while *trying* to pull into or out of parking spots, then drove off *without* a note. If you see yourself in this (I live in Ohio) LEARN HOW TO DRIVE THAT F*%#ING SUV YOU STUPID A$$H*!^!!! I HOPE YOUR VEHICLE IS MORE F*%#ED UP THAN MINE!!! AND IF I CATCH YOU DO IT AGAIN I'M GONNA SUE YOUR DUMB A$$!!! Gosh, I feel better already :)
I will have to agree with Kite in a tree, I'm a nice girl but don't mess with my car. While two wrongs don't make a right, at least equal payment was given - she could have done much worse to the other car. This brings to mind the time a drunk guy peed on my car - I am typically a funloving, easygoing girl BUT I went haywire on him and eventually someone had to call the cops. If only he had a car... Ultimately, I think her actions were justified...wait until someone does it to your car, then see how you react.
and I'm not done.....QUIT PARKING YOUR TOO BIG FOR YOU TO HANDLE VEHICLE ALL SIDEWAYS IN THE SPOT WITH THE WHEELS COCKED SIDEWAYS SO WHEN YOU GO TO BACK UP YOU INEVITABLY CAN"T GET OUT OF THE SPACE DUMB F%^K
ok that should do it
See, we're not so different after all...Austrailians and Americans. That's what this note says to me.
EH...that's awfully stereotypical of you. i've seen people with really nice cars not give a shit about hitting someone else's car, while those with the most awful beat up junkers would rather smash their fingers making sure they DON'T hit your car.
it has nothing to do with what you drive, but everything to do with how you treat others...or how strongly the wind is blowing...lol
I agree w/the finder Glenn - wow.
Now, I've LEFT messages like this - but I don't like the idea of putting karma out there by doing the same back.
Magnet, now that you've vented your anger allow me to say that the sight of your second post (...and I'm not done...) caused me to snort in my coffee. Thanks for the morning laugh, but please wait for me to put my cup down.
.oO, you are so very right! I try to be very gentle with others' cars but, dang it, some times the wind just snatches the door right out of your hands.
Ah, good ol' rage. Nothing like turning around and doing the same thing to someone to prove how rude it is.

hm. i wonder if this is my Aussie doppleganger, who wrote this? this is the sort of hypocritical junk i would write!
Brittany? Don't make me come over there!
How did the letter writer know that the owner of the other car was a woman? (or is this his epithet of choice for everyone?). If he saw the presumed woman, then why didnt he/she talk to her instead of writing this passive-agressive note and then slamming the other person's car?
Just askin'
Once, I was at Home Depot, and a young girl slammed opened a SUV door into the side of my car. Her Mom got out, and said "Did she just put that dent in your car with my door?" When I replied yes, she opened the car door I was getting out of, took my door and dented HER OWN CAR with it, and said "There..." and walked off.
Didn't correct her daughter’s actions, didn't apologize, didn't do squat, except put a dent in her own car. I was so shocked, I left Home Depot, and went to Lowe's where I parked in the middle of nowhere! In hindsight, I should have called the police, but at the time, I didn’t even think of it!
BTW -- no wind at all that day!
This may just be me thinking again... but if the writer of this note is pissed because the reciever of the note has messed up there paint job with all the door slamming; wouldn't the writer then just be making it worse but slamming their door yet again into metal?
I only ask because I have younger siblings that constantly "ding" my doors with my mom's doors in the garage and there is just red and blue paint transfer everywhere now.
My evil neighbor, keyed my fiance's car. All I could do was kick his tire, cause he is crazy and would get me back ten fold! I felt better. I wish I could leave a note, like this.
tiki's mom, I love your idea of the ice cream certificate! Because I'd pissed at the scratch until I saw that. But how can anyone be mad when they have ice cream?
Well, actually what I do when my car door just swings out and hits another car, I write a note like that and stick to the car. I think that is a lot better than just apologizing. Then also it's just ONE wrong instead of TWO, which makes it more right, I think.
Mr Cooper?
I'm with Tiki's Mom. What is a person supposed to do. These things happen, whether or not it was a result of carelessness or not what can a person really do other than leave a note of apology. I mean I think an insurance company would laugh if they received a claim for such a thing on all but the most expensive or maybe classic cars. I dunno, call me crazy but while I can see someone leaving a note out of anger, I think retribution is incredibly petty and childish.
Revenge is sweet.
And Magnet made me laugh too... I've enjoyed this find. Now.. next time there's a ding in my door, there better darn well be an ice cream certificate tucked under the windshield!
I bet if Al Queda had scratched her car, she'd have invaded Iraq, too.
beeswax; loved the video! Thank you.
my typical revenge is to let all the air out of their tires...it's not too much like slicing them, but it is quite satisfying to know that they have to go to through the hassle...
mo, you must be sitting out there a REALLY long time to let the air out of somebody's 4 tires...
If I came back to my car and found this note on it, I would have called the police to have some kind of report that it was a vandalism for my insurance company.
doesn't take long to let air out--take off cap, put a small pebble in it and screw cap back on--my psycho ex-boyfriend used to do it to me so I couln't go anywhere
HAHAHASFD
Vengeance is mine. This is the state of humanity - the war of all against all. Grendel must be defeated. Even Jesus harrowed hell. Bumping a car door with another car door isn't wrong, it's an action that requires an equal and opposite reaction. It's a matter of balance & equilibrium. Karma. Blind Fortune. The Great Chain of Being. Both car doors needed to whacked. The bitchy hysterics are a only colourful complaint against a law of nature.
I like it more when you get off of work (nightshift) only to find that some r-tard parked about 2 inches from your driverside door. On top of that, you're 9 months pregnant so there is no way in hell you're gonna fit in that 2 inch gap. So to get in, you have to squezze your big pregnant butt through the passenger side door to get to the driverside...in a kia spectra at that...Wouldv'e been nice to leave a note like this one on that a$$holes windsheild, with a side a hot pee on the doorhandle :)
Boy was I angry that morning. I didn't even get an opportunity to slam my door into his and make a ding bc I only had 2 inches and the force wouldn't be hard enough to make a mark :( lol.
Not exactly what I would have done, but if I had seen her do it (which I'm assuming they did since they knew the gender of the person) I would have said something. Don't know what's up with this crazy person rage inside me - but as long as it only comes out when appropriate (if she had apologized it'd be all good and I'd thank her for not being a complete douche) and justifiable I'm okay with it.
oh, but if she'd been a bitch about it, it would have been on like donkey kong. ie - i'd throw a barrel at her head.
Someone's got a short attention span, having learned only the first part, "Do unto others," of the Golden Rule.
My stepfather was a common sense genius. He bought a new truck, took his key and nicked the paint, then sighed and said, "Well, that's over with." I drive a decent older car with a few scars for two reasons:
1. If someone dings it and doesn't do big harm, I don't freak out.
2. I live in the city. I could leave a leather jacket on the driver's seat with a diamond ring on top of it and chances are nobody would look: there's always a nicer car parked next to me.
If you don't want dings in your doors (from rude dicks or innocent door-flingers), leave your car in the garage and take the dodgamn bus!
Jan, is the end of that "...before they do unto you"?
/jk
I like the sign on the side about recycling. It looks more like a karma cycle. Cause' what comes around goes around...
I personally do not own nice things, that way I'm not disappointed when they aren't perfect anymore. You should see the ones I date.
Over the next year notice how many times a woman holds a door for a man. It's rare. Women are spoiled! Also they are the worst when giving TIPS, if they give one. When I do get a $10 or $20 I'm in shock for at least 10-15 minutes. Remember ladies: Tips are almost HALF our income, for those of use who work a TIP job. ...but you may need your $$ for buying even more clothes you'll hardly ever wear. (no offense)
Freon: Yours is the the tarnished version, toward which I sometimes have a greater inclination. :)
Too bad all the venting doesn't make the anger go away. In fact, it seems to recharge it. No wonder "reality TV" is so popular.
Great Find, though! Thanks Glenn!
Rude Bitch #2 was *in* her car when Rude Bitch #1 did the scratching with her onw car door? That makes RB #1 either dumb or totally obliv. Like maybe she could have leaned over and mouthed "oops sorry" through the windshield, or at least had a look around to see what kind of havoc she was wreaking. Anyway, I can't say I think anyone acted very dignified, here.
What I think is funny is that this person not only has a dent from the rude woman's car door but now has paint missing from where they did it back. Um...??? What did that accomplish. LOL
Oh and it wasn't signed so I thought it was interesting to see so many people thought it was a woman who was being vengeful. Was it a woman? There aren't any visual clues.
Sidenote: If the damage to my car was significant I'd definitely have filed a police report at least for my insurance if it needed to be repaired.
That's wild. :::shakes her head:::
[palm of hand closing in embarrassment]
Xby Xlor, get a grip, Toots. Not all women are bad tippers - especially those that have waited tables. You must have had an awful day/night to feel the need to vent in a forum about found items - not even about tipping. Go have a nice cup of hot tea and relax.
Dear Xby Xlor,
Did you ever notice how many red cars there are on the roads? If you only look at the red cars, you hardly notice the blue ones.
Ok... first of all what track did Xby Xlor run off onto? And second, if "Rude Bitch" slammed her door into "Revengeful Bitch"'s car, wouldn't it leave more than a scratch? A car-door ding isn't nearly so bad until you notice that the person who delivered the ding actually took their finger to wipe away the dust (can't wash my car btw... water restrictions) to see what kind of damage they did and then leave. Nice.
i'm lactose intolerant. if someone scratches/dents my car, i'd like it fixed. ice cream wouldn't help. maybe some nice sorbet.
Wowzers! Okay did ~anybody~ else get the sense that a man wrote this and not a woman? This sounds like something my boyfriend would write because he got so pissed off at somebody touching his car. I have to agree with the Finder, Glenn. People are so vengeful these days, you don't know that that person could pull out a gun on you or something. Road rage is getting out of hand. It reminds me of an incident that happened in Orange County that my cousins mentioned once. This one guy cut another off on the freeway and the other driver got so pissed off that he pulled a gun out and shot the lane changer in a hit and run. He was left dead and the shooter was never found. Talk about "Cowboys and Indians" in the Millenium.
melissa, that actually happen in new orleans earlier this year. unless it happened at both places, which is really freakin scary
FREON/TERRIE/NOLEGIRL: I'm talking about the general attitude of women. Often selfcentered/me first, you last. Sure women who wait table TIP well, that's a given. This makes up a very small percentage of women. Remember: This is the 21st Century ladies, if you want to be equal, then start TIPPING equal to MEN. It's easy to notice when the group tipping is mixed (men & women) and women just tip a single dollar or just slink away. One woman even said she only had twenties, to which I responded, "Do you need change?"...she totally ignored that and walked off, ha! ha!
Hmm.. if that is what's wrong with society today, that must have been what was wrong with society 20 years ago when I did the same thing, including the note. Payback.
Don't hit my car with your door... and if you do, don't hit it so hard it dents it... and if you do, don't leave it parked there. It's a matter of principle. Clearly the first person thinks nothing of it so it shouldn't be a problem if you return the favor.
Was it a good idea? No. Do I feel bad about it? No.
I got the impression the note was written by a guy, too. I can totally understand why s/he did it, but I bet they didn't actually feel any better afterward... That's been my experience with Nasty Notewriting, etc anyway.
Xby Xlor, I expect the women you serve sense your nasty mysogynist vibes, and don't want to tip you.
Karma at its finest.
Two wrongs dont make a right, but I damn sure would feel better if I were them too!
ORLANDO: Thanks for responding. Mysogynist? Nice try. Not the case at all. If your earned TIPS from your job you'd learn right away that WOMEN AND BLACKS are super cheap when it comes to TIPPING. Not all women/blacks, just most. If you don't believe me, then just ask anyone who works in the TIP industry or better yet, take a part-time job for 30 days and you'll quickly find I am right. Be extra nice and you'll see that some people (men too) just prefer to TIP small or not at all, FACT. Seeing is believeing. At the end of 30 days you'll have extra cash & a better point-of-view = a win win for you ORLANDO and the rest of you non-believers. P.S. No city is the Best City.
S in Florida, same thing happened recently in the Seattle area, too. These aren't isolated incidents. Things are getting out of hand. It all started, so they say, on the freeways of L.A.
I've always wanted to leave a note like this. . .whoever stole/broke/vandalized my (insert item)go and stick it up your. . .but I just never had it in me. I say thanks for sticking up for the rest of us!
Plus, I think it's a guys writing.
although the idea seems great in theory, i cant say i would ever do this just for the sole fact that id have no idea how many cars pulled in and out of the spot next to mine while i was away
it does make me think though... that kinda shit happens to my car and it pisses me off to the extreme
Hmmmmmmmm........ two wrongs can make a right!
