Totally situation dependent. For someone slightly over the line in a parking lot, uncalled for. For someone blocking my driveway or in a hypothetical parking spot I pay money for, finding a free condom and not a tow notice is pretty polite.
Granted. What about completely taking two spots in a busy supermarket lot with some big ass POS ? Parking sideways in same using four ? (somewhere between, depending on the day, is my personal threshold for this).
I got a note like this once (minus the condom). When I had parked in the morning, there was an inch of snow on the ground so I could only park a reasonable distance from the person beside me. By afternoon, the snow had melted and the lines were visible. Sometimes people are just looking for a reason to be mad.
My roommate got one left on his windshield that was printed to look like a folded $50 bill on one side, and then said, "You park like an asshole," when you flipped it over. To be fair to the person who left it, my roommate totally did park like an asshole that day, so I thought it was hilarious.
Things either get me mad enough that I lose my composure or not nearly enough for me to do anything. Bad parking I don't care much but other things will push me into breaking shit, I just can't think of anything right now. 🤷
Its stupid and petty. By calling out an asshole this way you show yourself as also being an asshole. Resorting to passive aggressive name calling and insults from mild inconvenience is not a good look.
If the parking was obstructing something else you can report it to enforcement for towing/ticketing or the owners of the lot. If it was not obstructing something else then you are being ridiculous and trying to put people in their place. I read this reply as nothing but ego and lots of assumptions (shooting my brains out, wtf?)

I would never leave any clues like that which could be used to lead police to the person who cut their brake lines.

You know this condom is safe to use and hasn’t been tampered with
MalReynolds@slrpnk.net · 3 pts · 166d
Hmm, how do you get itching powder (or worse) into a condom?

Better: leave a note so sorry for hitting their car, leave a number with most numerals illegible.
They will walk around it forever trying to see the damage.

For mild evil, write down the number of someone you don't like

Maybe if my handwriting was that nice I would feel less embarrassed to leave petty insult letters

I get mine printed as business cards.

This handwriting is nice ?
RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 166d
Yes? It's quite nice.
chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 166d
Yeah I like it
TehBamski@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 166d
You can tell that it's nice handwriting because of the smiley face. /j
RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 165d
Well, yes. And it has nice proportions which kind of lends itself to the smiley face. If it were a font, I'd call it a little whimsical.

Free condom and I ruined a petty asshole's day? Score!

The sad thing is: you can pass shit on to others without being releated to them.

well, how bad did you park?

This isn't passive aggressive. Very much active insult.
ShieldsUp@startrek.website · 3 pts · 166d
Leaving a note and running away is passive. I see what you mean, but disagree.

I used to leave a flyer for a driving school that specialized in parking between two obvious parallel lines on asphalt.

The reason why these assholes park this way is because no one calls them out.
