Not only is parking your car on sidewalks incredibly rude, it’s against the law, too — but that hasn’t stopped a select few from eating up the pavement clearly meant for pedestrians.

One bypasser apparently had enough and decided to give it straight to an erring car owner by writing a strongly worded sign and posting it on the car door.

Kathryna Lee shared on the ‘How’s your byahe, bes?’ Facebook group about how she decided to speak up after seeing a red Isuzu SUV not just parked on the sidewalk, but in front of a “No Parking” sign, too.

“Take a video of me, [I don’t care]. Sidewalks are meant for people to walk on. NOT FOR CARS TO OBSTRUCT. There was even a No Parking sign,” she wrote.

Lee also edited her post to add that she wishes she did more, “but all I had was a sheet of spare notebook paper and a Sakura brush pen.”

Several netizens were on her side.

“In other cities, your car would be towed in a heartbeat,” one wrote.

“I hope more people would be encouraged and empowered to do this courageous act. Reminding ourselves to follow the law because the people who should be reinforcing laws simply could not,” another said.

“This is the problem when we grant licenses to people but they don’t know basic rules,” one commented.
