Got a ticket... sort of
Didn't notice this on the windshield till I got home...
This is not a ticket, but if it were within my power, you would receive two. Because of your Bull Headed, Inconsiderate, feeble attempt at parking, you have taken enough room for a 20 mule team, 2 elephants, 1 goat, and a safari of pygmies from the african interior.
The reason for giving you this is so that in the future you may think of someone else, other than yourself. Besides, I don't like domineering, egotistical, or simple minded drivers and you probably fit into one of these categories.
I sign off wishing you an early transmission failure, (on the freeway at about 4:30 p.m.) Also, may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits.

Better to get a note like that then get keyed. 
I thought it would be a good idea to take up 2 spaces when i first got mine but thanks to some good advice a just park farther out now.

The first week I had my z some six fingered cousin Forker Backed out of the spot next to me and dragged his snotty a$$ bumper down my side molding. Now I take 2 spots, but I park way out in left field or where I can see it. If some SFCF comes near it I'm gonna drag my bumper down his side molding.
Someone at work was giving me crap saying your'e not one of those people that take 2 spots up are you? I went off on them about how I had already been hit by some turd burglar that doesn't give a $h!t about their car or any one else's.

I have to agree that parking in two spots is asking to get keyed. I hate parking next to people, so I park strategically (e.g. at the end of the row, far away from other cars, next to other nice cars, etc.). I've had good luck doing that so far....

Two spaces
I always take two, but it is at the fartherest point possible from the door and only if there are plenty of places empty, otherwise I drive My Large SUV and park in the same far away location.

I have litte sympathy for anything that happens to anyone who takes up 2 spots -- especially right in front of an establishment. IMO, you're displaying the fact that you don't give a damn about the rest of the world. And some folks don't take kindly to that.

The note should be a wake up call... the note took a few minutes to write... keying takes a few seconds...
I know everytime I see someone taking up two parking spots... like they are special.. I make it my business to key the sh|t out of the car..... I usually wait around tell them that I did it too...if I have to leave, I leave them a note on how to get in touch with me.... so we can discuss their parking habits.

Hi C5-Girl -
I find it rude for someone to take up two parking spots - particulalry if they are up front near the business - not a big deal, by my opinion nonetheless.
If you care enough about your car to try to "protect" it by taking up two spots (and keeping at least one other person from being able to park "up close"), then why not simply park out in the far reaches of the lot and walk in?
I would say that you are lucky the person had a sense of humor, as opposed to the keying or vandalism that some other moron might have bewstowed on you in recognition of your parking achievements.
Just my opinion.
best regards -
