The continued rise of apartment living might be increasing housing supply but it is also increasing the number of people living in proximity to each other – and their disputes.
Such was the case for one person who copped an angrily-written note on their car despite parking in their own designated parking spot that they pay for.
The apartment resident sought advice after finding the abusive note tucked into their car door.
The car, which they had parked in their own spot, accused them of stealing someone else’s space.
“Read the sign. You can’t park in my paid parking spot you dumb f**k,” the note read.
“I hate you and your mother for raising someone who can’t follow simple directions.”

The shocked resident reached out to building management to clear up the issue only to receive confirmation they had parked correctly and the author of the note was in the wrong.
Residents using the parking spot have to display permits to prove cars are where they are supposed to be.
“I’ve been paying for this spot for a year,” the resident said.
“Each spot is assigned to a person and I have a parking pass in my window that corresponds with my labelled spot.”
These kind of issues are becoming more common in Australia where apartment living continues to skyrocket across major capitals.

Housing Industry Association figures released last year forecast 6.5 per cent growth in apartment construction in 2026, accelerating towards almost 100,000 new builds annually by the end of the decade.
The resident’s parking spot spat attracted mixed opinions online.
“It was probably just an honest mistake. Unless it’s a chronic issue, shrug it off,” one person wrote.
“Park in a free space and then, when they park in your spot, have management tow them,” another said.
“I would be tempted not to park there just to see who takes it,” another person wrote.
