If you’re going to abandon / illegally park your car anywhere near Bristol Airport, but especially in Lulsgate, be prepared for a healthy dose of passive-aggressiveness.
Sick and tired of people leaving their cars on the roads near the airport just so they can avoid the parking fee, residents have taken matters into their own hands. And then they took it out on a poor black Peugeot 107, as photos snapped by a passer-by and published by Bristol Live reveal.
Not only did they wrap the car in cling film, but angry locals also pelted it with eggs. Then, for good measure, they made sure to leave a note to the owner, so they know too why all this aggressiveness. And it is the very height of passive-aggressiveness.
“If you can afford a holiday… you can afford parking,” the note stuck on the car’s windshield reads. It’s in all-CAPS, because of course it is.
22-year-old Sam Lakner is the guy who spotted the car thus wrapped in cling film, telling the publication illegally parked cars are a common occurrence. He doesn’t even blame whoever did this, because they’re well in their rights.
“You get it a lot where I live. People just abandon their cars down side lanes and people go out and do it,” Sam explains. “I just can't believe that people park like that. I think the residents have had enough of people doing it now. I once saw three just abandoned not even parked on the verge so we had a whole lane blocked.”
Bristol Live notes that parking issues have also occurred with unauthorized car parks, whose operators took the vehicles from drivers and, after they had boarded the plane, drove them off for miles, to leave them abandoned on roads or in the field. Many times, the drivers didn’t even know where they’re cars had been.
