we haven\u2019t got time to put notes on cars.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Whoever has the car parked, they shouldn\u2019t have been parked there and turfing up the grass &#8211; but in this day and age. would you be bothered?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt gets annoying when people do park like that, but personally I wouldn\u2019t waste my time writing a letter &#8211; there\u2019s more important things going on in the world.<\/p>\n<h3>THE GLOSSOP NEIGHBOURHOOD NOTE IN FULL<\/h3>\n<p>&#8216;Would you please kindly refrain from parking on the grass verge, as it will rut the surface and make it look unsightly. Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;If this was you, first and foremost do not ever put something on my new car as it is private property.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Secondly, I pay road tax and can park where I want!<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;And finally, we have nowhere to park due to road works in the village as they have dug the whole pavement up and I will not park a \u201cwhite\u201d car to get splashes of concrete on it, which you can not get!<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It\u2019s not your grass, next time I will double park so you can\u2019t get out. Merry Christmas you Grinch!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It\u2019s obviously triggered someone, then they\u2019ve gone back in their house, hand-wrote that letter, photocopied it and delivered it to all the houses.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>He told of a nearby estate having resurfacing work done, prompting an influx of cars parking on his road instead.<\/p>\n<p>While he found the exchange of letters amusing, Mr Whitehead fretted others could be left feeling distressed.<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8220;For me, it\u2019s just a laugh &#8211; it made me chuckle, especially the &#8220;Merry Christmas you Grinch&#8221;, but some other neighbours have been upset by it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Another said it confused and upset their relative on the road who struggles with dementia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not threatening but it\u2019s a little bit aggressive &#8211; saying, &#8220;If it is you, I\u2019m going to double park and block you in&#8221;.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>He described the original note as &#8216;quite polite, just asking them not to park on the grass verge&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Whitehead added: &#8216;It definitely is the car owner in the wrong.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;They\u2019re saying, &#8220;you can\u2019t touch my car, it\u2019s private property&#8221; &#8211; yet they\u2019re walking down people\u2019s private drives and putting notes in their private letterboxes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Everyone should just be a bit more easy-going with your neighbours and a bit more forgiving.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>It comes after a woman living in Oldham was left &#8216;shaken&#8217; after finding a threatening handwritten note left on her car in another parking row.<\/p>\n<p>Another dispute broke out in nearby\u00a0Bury, with a father finding menacing letters on his van\u00a0&#8211;
