Little Notes

It was around 2 weeks after New Year we heard from this guy again and it wasn’t in the way we wanted to. According to my neighbour at number 19-who has small twins-he’d left a note on her windscreen telling her-and I’m paraphrasing-‘don’t park outside my driveway, you’re blocking me in’. We all thought it was strange, but shrugged it off. We knew he was weird after 8 weeks of living in the same street.

However, she got the same note, as did the neighbour at number 15 and her husband, who-as an electrician-has an electrician contractor van and the neighbour at 6 and her husband. We at 17 never received this note.

He just kept leaving these notes on people’s windscreens-even if they were visiting and not living in the street. It appears that there’s something pretty strange about this guy-a lot stranger than usual. Unless his true colors were showing through. And no, Cyndi Lauper, they are not beautiful like a rainbow. They are horrible, nasty and vindictive.

Everyone who received a note, that I talked to, they just wanted to find out who it was, storm up to him and punch him in the face. I found myself thinking ‘I knew there was something shifty about them’.

Nobody knew who it was until one of us spotted him giving a car parked near his driveway-not over, near-dirty looks, going inside for a bit and coming out with a piece of paper, angrily lifting the windscreen wiper and slipping the paper underneath before slamming the windscreen wiper back down onto the windscreen. You wouldn’t even see that in an episode of EastEnders.
