The motorist was stunned by the foul-mouthed letter but claimed that there was no way he could get the furious author off his back.

Posting their experience on Reddit, he asked: "Am I the a******?"
In his post, the driver claimed that he has been locked in an escalating war with the neighbour over the amount of space he left when he parks up.
This, he alleged, led to a series of "progressively more aggressive notes", slamming him for being too far away from the end of the driveway.
He said: " It doesn't seem to cause issues as most of us have normal-sized vehicles.

"The spaces are not marked, it's just a local resident street parking zone with green signs.
"I'm talking about 2-3ft of space tops, and maybe once a week.
"This person just seems like they have mental health issues."

It displayed a web address for "youparklikeana******.com" followed by a number of potential reasons that the author might be annoyed, with "too far away from the driveway" ticked.
The rest of the note read: "Parking is far too limited in our overcrowded streets and parking lots.

"You happened to park like an a******.
"Got to the above web address to see why someone else thought you park like an a******."
Going even further, the neighbour had apparently furiously annotated the note with offensive messages.
They fumed: "Back up to the driveway, always.
"Now you're either the dumbest m*****f***** in a five mile radius or you're parking like s*** on purpose because you're a piece of s*** taking up two spots.
"Five cars should be able to park in the area at all times."
However, the bewildered driver claimed that they weren't doing any harm and that it would be virtually impossible for them to safely back up as far as the neighbour wanted as their motor doesn't have a reversing camera.
They added: "I really don't have time to get in and out of my car making tiny corrections to appease this note-leaving person."
A tale of two jerks
Commenters were split on the debate, with plenty reserving judgment until they could see a photo of how the driver was parked.
One wrote of the neighbour: "If there's ample parking on the street then they're unhinged."

But another countered: "Yeah 2-3 feet is too much....also said they've been told repeatedly."
And a third went right down the middle, dubbing the ordeal a "tale of two jerks".
