'Please don't park here': Bengaluru neighbour's polite note pasted on car's window

While brawls and verbal arguments are common among neighbours over car parking issues, a person’s civilised approach in Bengaluru for this cause feels like ‘humanity exists’. In a recent Twitter post, a man shared how he received a polite note from his neighbour requesting him not to park the car in front of his house. “Please do not park your car here,” read the note. This message has come as a surprise to many as such cases have often ended up in violence. The tweet has now gone viral and received views in thousands.

Bengaluru is a place where events that go viral take place every now and then. The city usually trends on social media due to its daily traffic or unbelievable living expenses. But who thought that the IT hub of India will hog headlines due to the polite nature of one of its residents. The neighbour, who was upset with his next-door resident over car parking, respectfully came up with the request.

In the note, he explained that he owns two cars and needs ample space to park his belongings. The neighbour also added that they have been living in that area since 2000 and that they request the car owner to go back to their earlier parking lot. “Let’s be good and supportive neighbours,” read the note.

The Twitter user – Subhasis Das, shared the image of the note which was pasted on the car. “Found this in Koramangala today. Bengaluru – the city of epic content,” he wrote. He also tagged ‘Peak Bengaluru’, which is a start-up and tech-oriented page on Twitter.

Social media users were quick to start comparing the incident with that of other cities and guessed what the residents of those places would have done to resolve the issue.

Delhi exists…
